解题思路

处理观点选择型的文章时，首先考生要在引言段客观地介绍不同的两种观点，即将原题复述，此处注意切勿照抄题干。然后考生需要亮明自己的观点。英文写作和中文写作的一个很大的区别在于 ：中文写作喜欢水到渠成，直到最后才透露观点 ；然而英文写作却往往开门见山 ，在文章的首段就讲明自己的观点 ，接着是主体段落，介绍理由。建议大家要每个理由写主题句，让阅卷人一目了然，使文章结构更加清晰。最后是总结段，简要地重申观点和论述概要 。

亲爱的考生们 ，虽然编者在此书中给出了模板 ，但是大家一定要铭记在心的是，模板只是参考，语言表达千千万万、丰富多彩 ，千万不要束缚了自己。在符合用语习惯和语法准则的情况下，可以有各种表达。比如，在描述自己有两个理由支持观点的时候，也完全可以用Firstly, ... Secondly, ... 或者For one thing, ... For another, ... 。如 ：For one thing, I don t have any interest in that movie; for another, I have no time. 不过按照用法 ，不能使用On he one hand, ... On the other hand, ... 因为这个短语用于描述对立的两方面 ，如 ：On the one hand, he complains that he is lonely; on the other hand, he won t come to parties with me.

只要是符合用语习惯 ，在已有基本模板的情况下 ，可以变出百种千种文字的表达 ，一句话 ，使用模板要“抓大放小” ！
