高中英语写作之段落设计

一般说来，一个段落由三部分组成：主题句，扩展句和结论句。主题句提出的论述的主题， 扩展句利用必要的细节对主题加以论证说明，结论句总结全文，在论证的基础上得出结论。这三者是段落的必要成分，他们相辅相成，构成一个完整的段落。有些段落还有过渡句，它起到段与段之间的顺利过渡。下面具体说明：

1.主题句

1）主题句的位置：请找出段落的主题句

For exampe， it gives one a “smoker’s cough”. Finay， studies have shown it is easy for smokers to catch cods. Whether you get an unimportant cod or the terribe kier， cancer， smoking is harmfu. Is it worth it？

2）写好主题句， 有两条原则

①主题句要明确， 句中须有一个词，词组，或从句让读者一目了然本段的确切主题， 明确本段的重点或观点。

②主题句要概括， 它陈述你要说明的重点和观点，句中必须包含有可扩展主题的词，词组或从句。他应该是你将进一步表明你的态度和看法的概括。同时， 主题句有利于控制作者本人的主题的扩展。

练习：下面一段没有主题句，请根据全段内容拟定一个主题句。
