中间段的写作其实非常简单，只需要把提纲中的信息按照顺序写成语句就行了，只是中国考生要学会逻辑连接、句式连接并避免抽象地空谈。
比如：
A company has announced that it wishes to build a large factorynear your community. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages ofthis new influence on your community. Do you support or oppose thefactory? Explain your position.
假设考生写的第一层是建工厂的好处，第二层是建工厂的坏处（注意这是一道比较/反差类题目）。现在我们写第二层：建工厂对社区不好，而想写的是环境方面的内容，提纲可以是：
Harmful: [pollution], not worth it
——Air: acid rain, ozone depletion,greenhouse
——Water: drinking water
——Trees: floods and droughts
这个段落可以这样写：
Building large factories would be harmful to the communitybecause it will induce environmental pollution. Factories,especially those emoloying toxic chemicals, will definitely destroythe quality of air and water in town. They generate smog and otheratmospheric emissions which contribute to the greenhouse effect,ozone depletion and acid rain; they dump industrial waste intorivers which are supposed to be drinking water supply; theyaccelerate the deforestation which is proven to be responsible forabnormal floods and regional drought. And people's health is atstake. Having a few factories is not worth that risk.
再比如：
It is generally agreed that society benefits from the work ofits members. Compare the contributions of artists to society withthe contributions of scientists to society. Which type ofcontribution do you think is valued more by your society? Givespecific reasons to support your answer.
假设考生写的第一层是关于艺术家对社会的贡献，第二层写科学家对社会的贡献，而想写的内容是环境方面的，提纲可以写成：
· Scientists: more obvious
——Advancement: Plane, computer, vacuumcleaner
——Make our lives easier, more secure
——Help arts: CD, TV, movie, mp3
这个段落可以这样写：
The contributions scientists make to society are more obviousthan those made by artists. Almost all the critical advancementsthat make our lives easier, such as the plane we take to travelabroad, the computers we use (whether for work or forentertainments), and the home appliances which help us cook ourmeals and clean our houses, come from the creative ideas and hardwork of scientists. Those scientific discoveries and innovationsmake out work more efficient, our shopping more convenient, and ourlives more secure. Plus, to some extent scientists even contributea lot to the arts——without technological progress, there wouldn’thave been movie centers, television, and mp3 players which infuseart into ordinary people’s lives.
最后还有一例：
Some people believe that university students should be requiredto attend classes. Others believe that going to classes should beoptional for students. Which point of view do you agree with? Usespecific reasons and details to explain your answer.
假设考生要写第三层： 听课使我们学会服从，听课帮我们学会合作，听课让我们更深刻地理解肯本内容。现在写第二层：听课让我们学会合作，提纲如下：
· Cooperation
——Group assignment: impossible for 1 person/ needdifferent perspectives
——Cooperate: budget time, assign tasks, be perfect,express opinions
——Ready for challenges at work
这个段落就可以这样写：
Attending class teaches students how to cooperate with others.Different from students in primary or secondary school, universitystudents are often given group assignments which are technicallyimpossible for one person to finish in time or which have nouniversal answers and, therefore, need to be contemplated fromvarious perspectives. As a result, boys and girls are forced tolearn how to work with others for a common goal——such as how tobudget time and assign tasks according to each person’s skillswithout causing “free-ride”, how to perfect your task withoutannoying other team mates, and how to express your opinion aboutother member’s work without triggering frictions or stupid fights.All of the above make college students mature and sensible, readyto meet the challenges they will soon face in the workplace.Therefore, attending classes is necessary for universitystudents.
通过以上三个例子，可以发现其实最重要的是在列提纲的时候组织事实，中间段只是用正确的语句和词汇表达这些事实。
建议练习：
1、选出10个列过提纲的题目；
2、为这些提纲的每一层设置2-3层细节；
3、把这些层次写成中间段。 |
