三段落写作技巧展示-全新大学英语四级考试攻略与实战训练

就四级作文而言，通常都有固定的话题并附有两三句话的提纲引导考生展开写作。结合英语文章的特点和四级作文的内容及字数要求，建议考生最好写3段。每段都严格按照题目所给的要点去写，甚至可以直接将题目所给提纲扩展为每段的主题句。下面着重讲一讲每一段该怎样展开。

1．首段写作

作文的第一段主要起到“引”、“限”、“提”的作用，即首先引出话题，通过简要描述，界定和限制话题范围，最后提出观点或提起下文。首段的长度一般控制在3～4句的范围即可。下面我们以“The Best Way to Stay Healthy”题目为例，看看怎样写好作文的首段。

With the development of economy and society，more and more people are not only concerning about their necessity of life，but also their health condition．（引出话题）They all want to stay healthy and have different ways to make it．Some people exercise every day，while others keepa balanced diet．（简要展开并限定话题范围）As far as I am concerned，I'm for the latter．（提出观点）

点评：本段是非常好的作文首段写作范例，原因在于其既做到了引出话题，对话题简要展开并将话题范围限定为“keep a balanced diet”，最后提出了自己的观点。

2．主体（中间）段落写作

四级作文的第二段即为文章的主体段落，是整篇作文的核心，因此写好中间段落是作文获取高分的关键。对于四级作文而言，中间段落的写作只需要考生巧妙地将所给的第二个要点转换为段落的主题句，然后围绕主题句扩展即可。在对主题句扩展的过程中，要注意不同的扩展句之间要使用必要的过渡词，使整个段落语意连贯通顺。下面还是以“The Best Way to Stay Healthy”题目为例，看看怎样写好作文的第二段。(www.xing528.com)

Actually，there are several reasons accountingfor why the balanced diet is the best way to stay healthy．The most important reason for keepinga balanced diet lies in that it can guarantee you to get all the nutrition your body needs to keep healthy．Balanced diet alone will help you stay in a good condition．The second reason for keeping a balanced diet is that it won't take you much time to do it．Doing exercise every day must take a lot of time．But with a balanced diet，you can have more free time to do the things you like．Finally，it is wise for you to choose a balanced diet because you can enjoy the tasty food while staying healthy．As is known to us，exercising every day is boring and tiresome，and is likely to make you get injured．But keeping a balanced diet can keep you out of these troubles and bring you joy at the same time．

点评：本段的第一句话是整个段落的主题句，其中“several reasons”具有高度的概括性。紧接着，“the most important reason”，“the second reason”和“finally”从三个方面扩展主题句来阐述原因。过渡词的恰当使用使整个段落连贯通顺。

3．结尾段落写作

对于一篇作文，自然的结尾是非常重要的，它是一篇完整作文的有机组成部分。就四级作文而言，结尾段应该严格按照题目所给的第三个要点展开。有些题目虽然只给了两个要点，但我们还是要通过对作文主题的同义反复、观点概括、提出建议、呼吁行动或展望未来等方式给文章一个完整的结尾。下面我们还是以上面这篇作文为例，看看其结尾段的写作。

So，in my opinion，the best way to stay healthy is to keep a balanced diet．It will lead to a healthy and happy life．

点评：本结尾段采用概括观点和展望未来的方式，自然而简洁地总览全文，是一个很好的结尾方式，值得考生借鉴。唯一不足之处在于字数稍少一些，可以再补充一两句。四级作文的结尾段的字数控制在4句左右为妥。
