回顧全文+觀點+展望:
這種結(jié)尾方式比較適合于雙邊結(jié)構(gòu)的作文,在這種寫法中,我們要注意的是結(jié)尾段由三個要素組成,其中第2個要素是必須的 ,但是句子的數(shù)量可以是3句也可以是2句甚至1個句子。首先我們來看一個例子:
I agree that we need to make sure that animals that are used for testing new products have the minimum of suffering. However, I am convinced that animal testing is necessary, and that it will continue to benefit humans in new and wonderful ways.
上面這個例句中,作者將自己的觀點隱藏在了一個賓語從句之后,起到了一個欲揚先抑的效果。但是這種效果必須搭配一個展望未來才能起到渲染的效果。我們來對比另外一個例子:
In conclusion, physical punishment can be a useful method of discipline. However, it should be the last choice for parents. If we want to build a world with less violence we must begin at home, and we must teach our children to be responsible.
大家不難發(fā)現(xiàn),2個句子都使用了相似的銜接方式,即首句委婉地回顧全文,將觀點的對立面用"讓步"的方式表達出來,同時也是對于主體段觀點的回顧。然后再是用轉(zhuǎn)折闡述自己的看法和觀點。最后再用一個對于未來的期望來支撐自己的觀點。這種順序安排的優(yōu)點在于對于文章的主體有很好的總結(jié),但同時觀點又是非常鮮明有力的,加上對于未來的潤色,使得表達更流暢。用同樣的方法,我們再來看第三個例句:
To sum up, although there are undoubtedly some problems with increased levels of education, I feel strongly that the country can only progress if all its people are educated to the maximum of their ability.
和前2個結(jié)尾不同,第三個結(jié)尾盡管也是先回顧了全文,但是它將作者的觀點和對未來的期望寫在了一個條件狀語從句里。如此就給出了我們在構(gòu)造"展望未來"時的一個思路,即搭配條件狀語從句或者介賓短語跟在觀點句之后。此種結(jié)尾發(fā)展方式同樣適用于分析解決型大作文的結(jié)尾段布局,比如:
All in all, although the problem of drugs may seem impossible to eliminate, there are concrete steps that can be taken to weaken the hold of drugs on society. The danger from drugs is too great to ignore.
對于毒品對社會的危害,作者先是承認現(xiàn)狀的無法改變,進而樂觀地闡述了自己的觀點即采取了切實有效的行動后可以減弱其危害。最后用毒品的危害性來對未來作展望。換句話說,在社會類分析解決型議論文中,我們在展望未來時可以考慮用強調(diào)其長遠的影響作為突破口。又如:
In short, there are several things that the government can do to allow more people to finish school. However, a number of society attitudes also have to change if the country.
