無論你是剛接觸留學考試的菜鳥,還是久經(jīng)沙場、橫掃托福、ACT考試的老兵,提到寫作,這樣的開頭一定不會陌生: With the development of。
, more and more people….Some people think… Other argue….In my opinion, …. 沒錯,這是陪伴我們走過無數(shù)條險峰狹路的“萬精油”開頭模板。而對于閱卷人來說,看到這樣的開頭,他們的感受可能是這樣的: 他們早已被這千篇一律的模板開頭麻痹神經(jīng),也期待突然的一針興奮劑刺激大腦。
請記住提問法開頭結(jié)構(gòu): 提問+分析+觀點 舉兩個例子: 【例題1】 Place for education: Perspective1: Schools are better places for education because institutions like schools are more likely to combine a myriad of resources for better use. Perspective2: Education does not necessarily take place in schools as long as the educated can be imparted with valuable things that might do favor for their future. Perspective3: Home schooling can also be an alternative for education because receiving education at home helps the educated to be free from unnecessary disturbance. 【開頭段Sample】Are schools the best place for children to receive education? Or are there any other alternatives available? When talking about places for education, the first thing that comes into our mind is classroom education. However, recently, more and more parents have chosen home schooling for their teenagers. Parenting, surely, counts in education system; whereas, education can take various forms as long as the educated could be enlightened or inspired during the process. 【解析】開頭利用兩個問題“學校是否是接受教育的最佳場所”“有沒有其他選擇”引發(fā)讀者思考。緊接著利用該問題引發(fā)的深思進一步分析有關(guān)受教育場所的問題。
【例題2】 STEM education: Many people believe that a background in STEM — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — is needed to succeed in the 21st century. As technological advancements continue to reshape society, people with STEM training are more likely to be in increasing demand as they apply for colleges or seek a job. However, students do not seem to share the enthusiasm for STEM education. Research suggests that their interest and participation in such fields are declining. Given that students are not interested in STEM, it is worthwhile to value STEM education. Perspective1: The purpose of education is to prepare students to get a good job. Highest-paying jobs require knowledge in STEM. Perspective2: It is much more than a high-paying job to be fulfilled in life. The happiest people work at what they love. Perspective3: No one can predict what a job in tomorrow will require. The basic, well-rounded education is best for most people. 【開頭段Sample】Do you remember the joy of solving a difficult equation on your own as a student? Do you remember the pleasure of listening to those greatest immortal souls in science? Do you remember the excitement when you finally discover how CPU works as an integrated part? These experiences keep reminding us how fun STEM education is. To students who have great interest in STEM, it would be an ideal gift if they continue to learn STEM. 【解析】開頭3個“Do you remember…?”將提問法和排比修辭相結(jié)合,語氣瞬間增強3倍。一句話簡短分析了理工教育的趣味后,引出了立場:對于喜歡理工科的學生來說,學習使它們快樂,即觀點2。
