【方法例释】
写作文时，好
多考生也是觉得开头难，其实，写开头段有多种表达方法，
如主题句法、提问法、引语法、数据法、背景
法、定义法，等等，下面分别讲
解开头的几种展开方法:
【1.】主题句法：开篇点明主题，用主题句，然后围绕主题内容进行发展。例如：
Now
people become increasingly aware of the importance
of acquiring a
mastery of a foreign language.
To them, the knowledge of a foreign
language,
say, English, often means a good opportunity for
ones
career, even a passport to a prosperous
future. Many of them equate
success in life
with the ability of speaking a foreign language.
【2.】提问法：提出有争议或探讨性的具体问题，然后加以简要回答或展开引导
性
简短讨论。例如：
What do you want from your work?
Money? Promotions? Interesting
challenges?
Continual learning? Work based friendships? The
opportunity to develop your own idea and
potentials? Though we are all
individuals and
so our answers will differ, all agree that work
provides
more than material things.
【3.】引语法：使用引语(use a quotation)：使用一段名人名言，或人们常用的<
br>谚语、习语，以确定文章的写作范围和方向。例如：
“Great minds must
be ready not only to take the opportunity, but to
make them.”Colton, a great writer once
remarked. But it still has a
profound
significance now. To a person, in whose lifetime
opportunities
are not many, to make
opportunities is more essential to his success.
【4.】数据法：使用具体详实的数字或数据，然后作出概括性分析，指明问题的
症
结所在。例如：
In the past 5 years, there has been a
marked decline in the number of
young married
couples who want to have children, coupled with a
growing trend toward delayed childbearing.
According to official
statistics, in 2003,
about 28 percent of married couples with wives
under
35 gave no birth to children, compared
with the 1993 level of 8 percent.
【5.】背景法：给出背景，描述具体事件的时间、地点和发生背景等，例如：
Once
in a newspaper I read of a crowd of people who
remained
appallingly indifferent to the plea
of a mother. As she failed to offer the
required amount of cash as a price to save her
drowning son, the woman
at last watched her
son sink to death. The story is not rare in
newspapers
and on TV, and the casualness and
detachment our people now have
developed has
aroused nationwide concern.
【6.】定义法：针对讨论的主题或问题加以定义，然后进行深入探讨。例如：
It is
but a step from the sublime to the ridiculous.
从崇高到荒谬只有一步
之遥。
Flexibility is defined as
being adaptable to change. In the course of your
lifetime, it is essential that you learn to
bend and flex around every new
circumstance,
as rigidity deprives you of the opportunity to see
new
possibilities. Paradigms change over time,
and so must you. Your
company may restructure,
and you will have to survive. Your spouse may
choose to leave the marriage, and you will
have to cope. Technology will
continue to
advance and change, and you must constantly learn
and
adapt or risk becoming a dinosaur.
Flexibility allows you to be ready for
whatever curve lies ahead in life instead of
getting blindsided by it.
