另外,要以理服人,自然要多角度全方位地展开辩论。以论述playing too much online games 对teenagers的危害为例,至少应从对当事人的危害(包括对生理,心理和学业的危害),对家庭的危害,对社会的危害三方面来论述。
例As far as I am concerned, teenagers’ playing too much online games do them more harm than good. To begin with, if a teenager always longs to play online games, how can he concentrate on his studies? Would he set aside the online games to do some sports? Day after day, his studies may fall behind, his eyesight may become weaker and he may become obese for the lack of exercise. In addition, a teenager is most likely to spend a lot of money playing online games. Of course it’s a waste of money and also add the economic burden of their parents. Furthermore, a teenager who plays too much online games may become violent, because in the games he is free to kill whoever he doesn’t like. If this habit transfers into life, it will be a threat to the peace of the society. To conclude, teenagers should say NO to online games firmly.
再如,若要论及keep healthy的方式,也应是多元化的,应从运动,饮食,作息,心态等方面去提供建议。
例:How can we keep healthy? Here is some advice. Firstly, it is very important for us to take more fruits and vegetables because they provide vitamins, and we have to keep a balanced diet. So we should avoid food with lots of sugar and fat, which is rich in sugar and fat. Secondly, we’d better exercise every day to make our bodies strong. Besides, we have to avoid too much work pressure and always to be optimistic. Last but not least, we have to get rid of those bad habits that damage our health, such as drinking, smoking and staying up.
第三环节是小结综合,不需太多的语言,一两句话重申一下论点,能首尾呼应足矣!
三、润色美化,文采不俗
文采,是一篇好文章不可或缺的亮点。有文采的文章如世外桃源,山中莹雪,读来令人心旷神怡,通体舒泰。有文采的文章如春日煦风,寒冬暖阳,读来令人心弛神往,赞叹不已。那么如何提高文章的文采呢?尽量多使用下列结构,文采自然有效提升:
1.复杂的主从复合句,尤其是主语从句,定语从句,同位语从句;
2.同位语;
3.分词(现在分词,过去分词)作状语,及with的复合结构;
4.虚拟语气(if 虚拟条件句,but for, otherwise, without等介词引导的含蓄虚拟条件及一些使用虚拟语气的固定句型);
5.强调句(包括It’s……that……句型以do,did, does对谓语动词的强调);
6.倒装句;
7.固定短语;固定句型:如:attach great importance to sth, spare no effort to do sth, be of great importance/ significande/benefit etc,
It’s necessary/easy/important/most likely for sb to do sth,
sb/sth make it possible/a rule to do sth
A is to B what C is to D.等等。
8.谚语,成语:Health is the first wealth. No pains, no gains. Failure is the mother of success. More haste, less speed.
Where there is a will, there is a way.等等。试比较下面两组句子,有无文采,孰优孰劣,自是不言而喻。
第一组:平淡无奇 第二组:新颖不俗
