08年P(guān)ETS寫作開頭寫作技巧
首先，我們?yōu)榭忌榻B兩種經(jīng)典的開頭方法：
1． 開頭技巧一：名人名言
開頭引用名人不僅能夠作為很好的切入點展開話題，而且還能夠顯示考生深厚的英語功底。可能有的考生會疑惑：“我沒有記住名言，怎么辦？尤其是英語名言？”一般來說，引用名人名言不一定要記住每個單詞才行。 如果考生能夠記住大致的內(nèi)容，也可以引用。引用名人名言的經(jīng)典句型：
A proverb says, “you are only young once.” （適用于已記住的名言）
It goes without saying that we cannot be young forever. （適用于只記住大致意思的名言）
更多經(jīng)典句型：As everyone knows, no one can deny that…
我們?yōu)榭忌偨Y(jié)了一些考生常用的名人名言，附在本節(jié)后面，供考生記憶使用。
2． 開頭技巧二：數(shù)字統(tǒng)計
要想使自己的論證更有說服力，就應(yīng)該用實際的數(shù)字來說明。原則上在議論文當(dāng)中十不應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)虛假數(shù)字的，可是在考試考生只需要記住一個大概得數(shù)據(jù)即可。所以不妨試用下面的句型：
Ａccording to a recent survey, about 78.9％ of the college students wanted to further their study after their graduation.
更多句型：
A recent statistics shows that …

（二）主體段落的寫作原則
作文的主體部分是全文文字最密集的地方，也是最彰顯考生功底的地方，于是，我們總結(jié)出了關(guān)于主體段落寫作的幾個原則，考生在平時練習(xí)時，注意體會掌握。
1. 長短句原則
中國考生語法功底普遍很好，因此，在寫作文時，很容易出現(xiàn)長句堆積的現(xiàn)象。但是，這樣很容易使得文章枯燥乏味，讀起來費解。相反，寫一個短小精辟的句子，卻可以起到畫龍點睛的作用。而且，如果我們把短句放在段首或者段末，也可以揭示主題：
As a creature, I eat; as a man, I read. Although one action is to meet the primary need of my body and the other is to satisfy the intellectual need of mind, they are in a way quite similar.
如此可見，長短句結(jié)合，抑揚頓挫，更能夠使文章文采飛揚。
在這里我們強烈建議考生：在文章第一段（開頭）用一長一短，且先長后短；在文章主體部分，要先用一個短句解釋主要意思，然后在闡述幾個要點的時候采用先短后長的句群形式，定會讓主體部分妙筆生輝。文章結(jié)尾一般用一長一短就可以了。
