举个我印象最深的例子吧,以前在新东方学到一句TOPIC SENTENCE,“First, this argument is … by a fallacious comparison / secondly… based on a false analogy / third hasty generalization/ a careful examination will reveal how groundless it is… ”,自以为说得透彻深刻,可是,其实你想想,如果你是阅卷者看到这样的首句,你会明白作者这段到底想说什么吗?
但是ETS的高分例文里是怎么写的呢?“Finally, even if we accept that the situation in Myria is successful in that country, we cannot assume that this same scenario will work in Illium.”这是首句,也就是TOPIC SENTENCE,看看人家就是抓住了具体的一个小点说得很清楚。在接下来的展开论证中举几个反例,这样子一下子就有说服力了,而且思维非常清晰。
