英语作文结构

篇一：英语作文结构

一、段落写作

写作的过程包括选词、造句、组段和成篇。四级作文的写作也同样遵循这一规律。但四级考试的写作囿于篇幅的限制，从严格意义上说是凝练的段落写作。

段落是由彼此关联的表达相对单一中心思想的一组句子构成，它是一篇文章或书中某一章节的基本构成部分，也是文章结构的基本独立部分。段落由若干个句子组成，通常表达一个中心思想。因此，段落不能由一组句子随意堆砌而成，而是应当符合一定的模式和具有某些基本特征，并遵循一定的段落发展方法。大学英语的写作重点就要从选词造句转到联句成段和联段成篇上。进行段落层次上的写作训练，是写好文章的关键所在。段落由主题句、扩展句和结尾句三部分构成。

主题句

主题句是介绍某一段落主要内容的句子，通常是一个概括性的陈述(a general statement)。主题句把纷繁的现象通过简练的文字用一句话扼要地指出这一段落的中心内容。主题句在开头是最常用的做法，这样读者和作者都非常容易进入段落的主题。写作时不断地对照主题句，可以让作者避免把不相关的内容写

入这一段落；主题句放的中间，多出现于作者对两件事情作比较时，说明两者如何相象，又如何不同；主题句出现在段落的末尾，往往是作者为创造一种悬念而有意安排的，目的是让读者继续读下去，可以在读者心目中留下一个深刻的印象。

扩展句

扩展句是段落主题句的延伸和发展，起着辅助主题句和拓展段落中心的作用。它对主题句的中心思想或者举例说明，或者详细解释和论证。扩展句一般由几个或十几个意思连贯的句子组成。扩展句应具有清晰翔实、条理分明的特点。

结尾句

结尾句就是总结段落的句子，它在段落中起着非常重要的作用，它用一句话将段落内容进行归纳总结，对全段中心思想作出精炼的浓缩。因为段落的内容是说明主题的，因此结尾句常和段落主题句呼应，或者说是主题句的再现，并与扩展句相关联。结尾句可以用不同的方法再现主题，有时甚至就是段落的主题句。但有时在一段文章中，尤其是较短的段落中，只有主题句，而没有结尾句；而当主题句位于段尾时，主题句就是结尾句。因此，虽然在段落写作中应遵循

“首一中一尾”的三段论模式，但不应被这种模式所束缚，而应根据具体情况灵活掌握，只有这样才能不影响意思的表达。

二、段落的基本特征

段落是彼此相关的表达单一中心思想的一组句子的组合，而一个无论是结构上还是内容上都完整的段落，必须具有一致性、连贯性和充实性特点，这是段落的基本特征。

一致性

通常，英语文章每一个段落只有一个中心思想，它往往由一个主题句表现出来，全段其他各句用一些相关的细节和事实紧密围绕主题句展开，任何与主题句无关、可有可无或说服力不强的内容都应舍弃。连贯性

连贯性原则要求在全篇文章中，语言要一气呵成，各段之间通过过渡词或过渡句自然衔接，条理清楚，形成相互呼应的整体效果。使文章达到连贯性的方法很多，通常使用过渡性词语、重复性关键词、代词和排比句等。

为了使文章具有连贯性，表达不同的逻辑关系可以使用不同的过渡性词语，例如：

表示动作或思想发生顺序的过渡性词语：first，

second，in the first place，to begin with， next，finally等．

用于文章开始的过渡性词语：as a generalrule， basically， first of all， generally speaking， ingeneral，on a whole，recently，with等．

用于文章结尾的过渡性词语：accordingly, as a result，above all，finally，hence，in brief，in short，in conclusion等．

表示重述关系的过渡性词语：in other words，in simple terms，to put it diferently，to repeat，that is等．

充实性

充实性是就内容和形式两方面而言的。从内容上讲，它应该从多角度出发，用恰如其分的、能使读者信服的强有力的论据去支持观点。文章的充实性从形式上讲就是句型要生动富于变化。句子结构无变化，句型句式单一是文章缺乏表现力的表现。

三、段落的展开

常见的段落展开方法有列举法、举例法、叙述法、因果法、比较法、分类法、定义法等。也可以按时间顺序展开段落(常用于记叙文和说明文)；按空间顺序展开段落(常用于描写性文章中)；还可以用定义法展

开段落(常用于解释字面模糊的词语)；用分类法展开段落(往往用来解释较复杂的主题)；段落展开的方法还有很多，但无论理论上的指导多详尽，写作都是一件需要付诸很多实践才能做好的事情，只有在有充分理论指导的前提下，多写多练，才能在写作上取得突破性的进步。

首段提出问题，三句话：背景交代+具体描述+举例说明

The past few years have witnessed the rapid development of people’s living standards. However, at the meantime, it can be noticed that youngsters in contemporary society have a variety of unhealthy living habits. Typical examples include: staying up too late, being addicted to Internet and eating junk food.

二段分析问题危害：三句话：主题句(总)+危害1+危害2

Quite obviously, the negative impacts of these habits are various. To begin with, they will impair or harm young people’s physical health. In addition, if this situation were to continue, it certainly would be a possibility that young people would suffer from low efficiency in their work and study.

3、我的看法

On Competition

写作思路解析：

首段：四句话：现象描述+正方观点+正方理由1+正方理由2

Living in an era of information and technology, individuals are confronted with a wide variety of competitions or pressures: in study, we suffer from academic competition; in work, we live under pressure of efficiency; in life, we strive against the ascending cost of living. Some are in favor of competition. In their eyes, without competition, it is impossible for the society as a whole to progress. Besides, in their opinion, competition will definitely promote the development of those who spare no effort to work, which otherwise would be impossible.

二段：三句话：反方观点+反方理由1(危害)+反方理由1(危害)

Rewarding as it is, others hold an opposite perspective. First, what makes many experts worried is that too many competitions may harm people’s physical and mental fitness. Second, to some extent, their opinion derives from the fact that competition between friends or colleagues may impair the friendship or team spirit.

尾段：三句话：我的看法+理由+展望未来

As a college student, I am firmly convinced that it is necessary to have some competition. In spite of the disadvantages, we do need competition to enhance our working and studying efficiency. Only by means of proper competition can we hope to witness the ideal scene in which every one spare no effort to their work and study.(207words)
