英语五段作文法(经典啊)

1英语五段作文法五段英语写作是美国大学写作课上普遍向学生推荐的一种写作法。它的特点是结构严谨合理，段落层次分明，观点阐述充分，语言变化生动。特别适合于较高一级的250-350词的论述文写作。五段作文，顾名思义，是由五个段落组成的文章，它的基本写法是：2Para.1IntroductionofTopicThesisStatementPara.2TopicSentencesSupportingSentencesPara.3TopicSentencesSupportingSentences第一段是引言部分。主要是引出文章要讨论的主题，幵在段尾写出文章中心思想句(thesisstatement)，且尽可能点出各段的中心思想和文章发展的方法(thewaytodeveloptheessay)。第二段到第四段是文章的正文部分，这一部分一般分为三段（三个方面）来阐述的一段的中心思想，每一段以段落主题句(topicsentence)开头，它说明thesisstatement，本身又被本段SupportingSentences所说明。第五段是结尾部分。主要是对文章迚行归纳和总结。3Para.4TopicSentencesSupportingSentencesPara.5ConclusionRestatementoftheThesisI.解释结构：（1）解释原因解释现象，分析原因、理由是英语写作中常见的结构。这种作文主要是对某种社会（自然）现象，问题的出现或原因、理由迚行解释。五段作文模式中，它的基本结构如下：4Para.1IntroductionofProblemorPhenomenonPara.2ThesisStatementCauseIPara.3CauseII可见这钟结构主要有两大部分。第一部分也是引言段，即把要解释的问题或现象描写和表示出来；第二部分也就是正文段，解释和分析问题出现的原因。5Para.5ConclusionPara.4CauseIIITask1:Youareallowed40minutestowriteanessayabout250wordsonthefollowingtopic.Since1980,divorcerateinChinahasincreasedrapidlyasshowninthefollowinggraph.Whatarethecausesforit?•PercentageofPeopleWhoGotDivorcedDuringtheYearsBetween1960to200065.00%4.00%3.00%2.00%1.00%0.00%196019701980199020001.00%5.60%2.00%2.90%1.70%6.00%SampleAnswer:DivorceinChina●InrecentyearsChinahasexperiencedadramaticincreaseinthedivorcerate.Accordingtothechartgiven,duringthelastdecade,thedivorcerateinbigcitieshasincreasedasmuchasithadintheentirepreviousthirtyyears.In1960therewereonlyonedivorcedpersonforevery100marriedpeople,andthirtyyearslatertheratewas2.9percent.Butby2000theratejumpedto5.8percent.（第一段是通过对图表的描写把近十年来离婚率大幅上升的现象表现出来。）●Theupwardtrendindivorcereflectsthreeimportantchangesinoursociety.（这一句是文章的中心思想句，对造成离婚率上升总的概括，然后用threeimportantchanges交代了随后的正文发展方向7Themostsignificantoneisthechangeinsocialattitudetowardsthedivorcedpeople.（主题句）Inthepasttheactofdivorceitselfwasconsideredasocialstigma.Evenifacouplehadalreadylivedseparately,theydarednottoseekdivorce.Nowthatdivorcehasbecomesociallyacceptable,youwon’tbelookeddownuponjustbecauseyouareadivorcedperson.（原因1：人们对离婚观念的转变）●Second,thechangeinpersonaleconomicactivitiesalsofacilitatedivorce.（主题句）Millionsoffarmersfloodsintocitiestoseekjobs,andthousandsofcitydwellersgoabroadforstudyorwork.Theunprecedentedsocialmobilityhasplacedseverestrainsonmarriedcouples,notonlyintermsofgeographicseparation,butalsopsychologicalchange.（原因2：民工潮和出国热的社会流动对家庭的压力）8●Finally,legalchangeshavegreatlysimplifieddivorceprocedures.（主题句）Inthepastsuingforadivorcewasthemostdifficultthingeverimagined,youwouldn’tsucceedwithoutyearsofefforts.Nowthereviseddivorcelawmakeslegalseparationeasyformostpeopletoobtain.People,forexample,areallowedtogetdivorcemerelyforlover’ssake.Thusthelastbarriertodivorceisremoved.（原因3：新的婚姻法简便了离婚手续）●Whateverchangesresponsiblefortheriseindivorcerate,onethingiscertain:thereisasignificantchangeinpeople’straditionalviewofmarriageanddivorce.（最后是归纳性总结，对文章中心思想句加以重复）9(2)解释理由：解释性文章不仅是解释某种社会现象或社会问题及其原因，例如：为什么离婚率高？为什么青少年抽烟的越来越多？为什么成功者不总是最聪明者？也有解释做个人事情的理由：比如为什么我要上网？为什么我要学习英语等等。其结构是一样的，所不同的是往往以第一人称着笔。10Task2:Youareallowed40minutestowriteanessayabout250wordsonthefollowingtopic.Goingabroadforstudiescostsalargesumofmoney.Butevensoitattractsmanyyoungpeople.Doyouliketojointhemifyouhaveanopportunity?Why?Giveyourreasons.SampleAnswer:GoingAbroadforStudies●TheotherdayIannouncedthatIwouldgoabroadforfurtherstudiesrightaftermycollegeeducation.Mydecisionevokedtheimmediateobjectionofmyfamily:Why?WhyshouldIboughtahugesumofmoneyforoverseasstudieswhileImightreceivethesameeducationathomeatrelativelylowcost?Myansweris:inadditiontoknowledge,Icangainexperiencesthatthosewhostayathomewillneverhave.（用个人经历引出主题，继而引出了文章观点：我出国读书不只是为了知识，还有在国内读书体验不到的经历。）11●First,experienceistheopportunityforthereal-lifeuseofforeignlanguages.（主题句）Whileapersoncanstudyaforeignlanguageathome,theeffectcanneverbecomparedwithconstantuseofthelanguageinacademicandeverydaylife.Thereisnobetteropportunitytoimprovesecond-languageskillsthanlivinginthecountryinwhichitisspoken.LivinginEnglish-speakingcountriessuchasAmericaandAustraliaforseveralyears,forexample,myEnglishwillbeasperfectasnativespeakers.（在国外自然接触外语的经历，其能力的提高是在国内不能比的。）12●Second,livingandstudyingabroadoffersmeadifferentperspectiveoftheworld.（主题句）Onauniversitycampus,foreignstudentsarelikelytoencountertheircounterpartsfromdifferentcountriesandareasandareexposedtodifferentideasandvalues.Thishelpsmetohaveameaningfulunderstandingofdifferentsocietiesandinevitablyseesmyowncountryinanewlight.（在国外接触不同国家的价值观念，对了解自己国家，了解世界，开阔眼界很有帮助。）13●Third,overseasexperience,frustratingandpainfulasitmaybe,ishelpful.（主题句）Apersongoingabroadforstudyoftenexperiencesmuchmoredifficulty----difficultyinadaptingtoanewcultureandindealingwithallproblemsalone.Yet,thedifficulty,coupledwiththefrustrationbroughtonbycultureshock,isarewardingexperienceforone’sfuturelifeanddevelopmentofpersonality.（在国外遇到的挫折和独立处理问题的经历对人生的成长是一种宝贵的财富。）14●Althoughgoingabroadisexpensiveandperhapspainful,thepayoffisworthwhile.Forthebenefitisnotmerelyknowledgegained,buttheexperiencesdesirableinone’spersonallife.（回到文章开头：出国学习所得到的不仅仅是知识，而且还有经历。）II.分析结构：这类文章主要对某事物产生的影响或结果迚行分析。因此
