设计开头结尾
一、开头的写法
好的开端是成功的一半。文章的开头除了要表明主题以外，还有一个重要的任务，就是吸引阅卷老师的注意。因此，开头一定要具有与众不同的吸引力，这样才能给阅卷老师留下深刻的印象。下面介绍几种实用有效的开头方法及常用句式：
1. 现象法
所谓现象法，就是在文章开头就指出某种社会现象或问题。这种开头方式在四级写作中十分常见，主要适用于现象分析型作文和问题解决型作文。
【常用句式】

【例2】
In the past years, there has been a dramatic increase in juvenile delinquency. According to an official report, cases of juvenile delinquency have grown by thousands every year.
2. 对立法
所谓对立法，就是引出人们对要讨论问题的不同看法和观点，然后提出自己的看法或者偏向某一看法。这种开头方式一般用于有争议的主题，主要适用于对比论述型作文。
【常用句式】
① When asked…, a great/ vast majority of people/ most… say that… But I think/ view quite differently. / But in my eye/ view…
② When it comes to …, some people believe that…, but some others argue/ claim that … (the opposite/ reverse is true). There is probably some truth in both arguments/ statements, but …(I tend to agree to/ would prefer the former/ latter.
③ Now, it is commonly/ generally/ widely believed/ held/ acknowledged that … They claim/ believe/ argue that… But I wonder/ doubt whether…
④ Nowadays there is no agreement among people as to… Some people focus on/ advocate/ favor…, while others may think… (From my point of view, …)
⑤ When faced with/ In the face of…, quite a few people claim that…, but other people argue…
⑥ There is much discussion/ public debate/ controversy nowadays as to the problem of… Some people say that… Others hold that…
⑦ There is a general debate over the phenomenon of… People who are against/ object to it claim/ hold… But people who advocate it, on the other hand, claim/ argue…
⑧ The value of this form of… is now being questioned by…/ There is growing skepticism toward…
【例1】
When it comes to computer, some people believe that it is the greatest invention of the human race because it is so useful and helpful to us, but some others argue that computer is something evil because it will take the place of the human beings someday in the future. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but I would prefer the former opinion.
【例2】
Nowadays there is no agreement among people as to the best measure of a country’s success. Some people focus on rich economy, while others may think it is the quality of life that has nothing to do with money.
3. 观点法
所谓观点法，就是开门见山，直截了当地提出本文要论证的观点或要解决的问题。这种开头方式主要适于观点论证型作文和问题解决型作文。
【常用句式】
1. Now there is a growing awareness/ recognition of the necessity to…/ Now people are becoming increasingly aware/ conscious of the importance of …
2. It is true that… No one can deny…
3. …, which has been generally accepted. The truth of it is deep and profound/ self-evident.
4. Now people in growing/ significant numbers are beginning/ coming to realize/ accept/ be aware that…
5. Nowhere in…/ Never in history has the issue/ change/ idea of… been more evident/ visible/ popular/ serious than in…
6. Perhaps/ Maybe we should/ it is time to rethink/ reexamine/ have a fresh look at the idea/ value/ attitude/ wisdom/ desirability that…
【例1】
Now there is a growing awareness of the necessity to protect our natural resources from being exhausted. Having realized that natural resources cannot be reproduced if they are exhausted, people are turning to other things for replacement of natural resources.
【例2】
“Haste makes waste ”—a proverb full of logic, which has been generally accepted. The truth of it is deep and profound. It tells us that we have to do some steady and down-to-earth work if we want to accomplish something.
4. 比较法
所谓比较法，就是通过对过去、现在两种不同的倾向、观点进行比较，从而引出文章要讨论的观点。一般来说，对过去的观点都只是一笔带过， 而将写作的重点放在现在的即文章要讨论的观点上。这种开头方式主要适用于观点论证型作文。
【常用句式】
1. For years, …had been viewed as… But people are taking a fresh look now. With the growing/ development of…, people…
2. People used to think that… (In the past…) But people don’t share this view now.
3. It is a tradition/ custom/ practice/ traditional way… But now/ in recent decades things have changed.
【例1】
People used to think that children should be obedient. If children were obedient, their parents would be very proud and very pleased, and consequently, they would be the favorite ones of their parents among all the children. But people do not share this view now. They now think it is of great importance that children have their own thoughts.
【例2】
It is a custom for Chinese to get married with a person with the same family background, regardless of the fact they may actually do not love each other. But in the recent decades things have changed. Chinese young people now tend to consider love to be the only factor to decide whether they will get married with someone or not.
5. 问题法
所谓问题法，就是先将要讨论的问题进行设问，然后在解答的过程中引出观点。这样开头的好处就是从一开始就能引起读者的兴趣。但相对来说，这种方法表达主题的作用不是很明显，如果问题设计不好，就会导致段首中心不突出，主题句表达苍白等负面效应，因此使用时要谨慎。这种开头方式主要适用于对比论述型作文和现象分析型作文。
【常用句式】
v Should/ What…? Opinions of/ Attitudes towards/ Answers to… vary widely/ greatly/ from person to person. Some… are in favor of/ view/ regard/ think of… Others believe/ argue/ claim…

v “Why do/ have…?” Many… often ask/ pose the question like this.

v Nowadays/ Recently, one of the basic/ hot topic facing our society is: What/ Why…?
4. How do you think of the question of …? In seeking answer to this question,…
【例1】
Should euthanasia be legalized? Answers to this question vary greatly from person to person. Some people are in favor of the idea of euthanasia. Others argue that the legalization may bring about some problems.
【例2】
“Why do we have to learn English while it may be useless after graduation?” Many college students often ask the question like this. Surely it is because they haven’t realized the importance of English. They do not know in the international communication, English is always the language to be used.
6. 引用法
所谓引用法，就是在文章开头引用名人名言、箴言、谚语或有代表性的看法，来引出文章要论述的观点。这种方法通过引用切合主题的名言警句，一方面可以突出主题，另一方面也能为文章增加文采，容易给人留下深刻的印象。但是这种开头要求考生必须有一定知识储备，对所使用的名言警句要应用自如。另外，所引用的名言警句一定要为中心服务，不能单纯为了增加文采而引用。这种开头方式主要适用于观点论证型。
【常用句式】
1. One of the great/ early writers/ philosophers/ scientists said/ wrote/ remarked, “…” If this is true/ the case, then (the present/ current view/ value/ attitude/ situation should make us wonder whether/ ponder over)…
2. “…” The same idea/ complaint/ attitude is voiced/ echoed/ shared by…
3. “…” How often we hear/ We are used to hearing/ Many people have heard (such) statement/ words/ complaint like this.
4. There is an old/ popular saying/ proverb which goes that… The truth of it is profound and significant. / Under its simplified cover, a truth is ironically pointed out, that is, …
【例1】
One of the great early writers once said, “human character is formed by society.” If this is the case, then aren’t the current pervasive corruption, the popular obsession with money-making and general indifference to human sufferings and social injustices a perfect manifestation of a bad social environment?
二、结尾的写法
文章的结尾一般篇幅不宜过长，但却也是决定文章成败的点睛之笔。好的结尾，可以增添文章的说服力，加深阅卷老师的印象。下面介绍几种实用有效的结尾方法和常用句式。
1. 总结法
所谓总结法，就是通过文章前面的讨论分析引出一段总结性的言论，重申文章的中心思想或总结自己的观点，作为全文的结束。这是一种最常见的结尾方法，主要用于观点论证型作文和对比论述型作文。
