以上介绍了几种写结尾段最常用的方法 , 但到底选择何种方法结尾还得根据文体来决定 。平铺直叙的记叙文 , 往往在故事或事实情节讲完时文章也就自然结束了 , 而说理性和逻辑性较强的说明文和议论文都应有一个正式的结尾 。希望以上介绍的几种方法能对大家写好结尾有所帮助 。
 六、开头段:
【芝麻开门】
开头段一定要语言精练 , 并且直接切入主题 。开头段一般不对主题进行深入的探讨 , 具体的论证或叙述应该在扩展段进行 。一般在开头段写四、五句即可 。开头段的作用:概括陈述主题 , 提出观点或论点 , 表明写作意图 。
【写作要点】
写开头段时考生应该避免的若干问题:1)开头偏离主题太远;2)使用抱歉或埋怨之词句;3)内容不具体 , 言之无物;4)使用不言自明的陈述 。
【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 ones career, even a passport to a prosperous future. Many of them equate success in life with the ability of speaking a foreign language.
