1.文章开头的写法

　　(1)引言法

　　在文章开头引用具有代表性的名人名言，既可吸引读者，又可以点题。如：

　　Be the first to be concerned with the worlds troubles and thelast to enjoy worldly happiness.Fan Zhongyan，a scholar ofthe Song Dynasty，expresses eloquently the lofty spirit of Chinese intellectuals inhis maxim. On realizing that the cause of Chinas lack of development was itsbackwardness in science and technology，many modern scholarsaccordingly went to Western countries to study.

　　本段以先天下之忧而忧，后天下之乐而乐引出主旨，给人以深刻的印象。

　　(2)提问法

　　如： Why are foreigners so glad that barriers have been dismantled?China has a population of 1.2 billion，and US $1 000billion of GDP. It is a country with one of the fastest economic growth ratesin the world. Chinas entry into the WTO will therefore enable all economicentities in the world to expand trade and investment，bringingbenefits to enterprises，consumers and workers in these countries.

　　(3)数据引用

　　引用恰当的数据，使文章开头简洁、有力。对于表格式作文，常从描述、分析表格入手。如：

　　It is reported that from 1995 to 1998，the number of carsin Shanghai rose at the rate of 20%，but the averagespeed of cars dropped at the rate of 30%. It should be noticed that 43% ofadded cars during the period of 1995～1998 is privatecars. Therefore some people point out that the most effective way to solve thetraffic problem is to ban private cars. But I think they have gone extremelyfar away.

　　本段通过引用数据对私车增多及车速下降这一现象进行了详细的描述。通过分析，作者自然地引出观点：完全禁止私车是偏激的做法。

　　(4)概要法

　　开门见山，首先提出文章的主要观点，然后通过举例或逻辑推理等方法加以详述。如：

　　This report is divided into three main sections： whatequipment you need，how to use equipment，and how to maintain equipment.

　　2.文章结尾的写法

　　(1)总结法

　　总结式结尾的作用在于回顾全文、突出中心，使读者对文章形成一个整体的把握。要想写好总结式结尾，就要求文章内容本身重点突出、中心明确，这样回顾起来才有点可抓。在写总结式结尾时，对于论证中提到的要点应该点到为止，而重在重申论点。如：

　　On the whole，life in China has become better after 30 years，Ordinarypeople now enjoy a more colorful life than before. Though some problems havearisen in the progress，we still cant deny this positive trend.

　　(2)建议法

　　针对文章前面的分析，提出相对应的号召或解决方案，表示对将来的期待或鼓动大家采取相应的行动。如：

　　It is essential that effective measures should be taken to redresssuch inequality.

　　It is high time that we should urge an immediate end to thisphenomenon.

　　(3)反问法

　　在末尾加上反问，可使文章引人思考。如：

　　Psychological health of the youth should be concerned by oursociety. On being advised by his school that he should leave after failingseveral exams，a Beijing university student decided to commit suicide，but firstkilled his father and grandmother so as to spare their grief at his own death.A 13-year-old Sichuan Province girl ran away from home recently in pursuit ofher favorite movie star，and has not been seen since. Isnt there anything wrong withpsychological health of the youth?

　　用反问句加深主题：年轻人的心理健康有些问题，应该得到更多关注。

　　(4)引语法

　　用引语归结全文，有画龙点睛的作用，使文章既生动，又有说服力。如：

　　All of us wish for a bright future and hope to master a usefulcareer. Those who persist in remaining idle will never fulfill their ambitions， Nopains，no gains is a motto with much meaning. Meditate and live byit.

　　以不劳不得做总结，很好地归纳了上文，给人以警示。

　　(5)首尾呼应法

　　在首尾两处点题，可以使段落的中心突出。如：

　　Chinas reforms have brought China a lot of benefits and havechanged Chinese peoples life a great deal. A lively atmosphere has prevailedin all walks of fields throughout the country. The national economy has beenthriving and national defense has ever been consolidated. In science andtechnology，quite a lot of achievements have been made. Certainly，the progressmade in all fields has led to the raise of living standard for Chinese people.

　　首尾均强调了一系列有利于社会进步的改革给中国人的生活带来的改变，重点突出。
