（一）掌握技巧：（1）注意篇章结构，合理布局开始部分（opening paragraph）——说出文中的要点、核心问题。
正文部分（Body paragraphs）——围绕主题开展叙述、讨论。
结尾部分（concluding paragraphs）——对全文的总结和概括。
要做到全文中心突出、段落之间必须是有机地联系，内容完整、连贯。
前后呼应，祛除与主题无关的内容。
（2）确定主题句主题句是对全文的概括，是文章的主旨。
它能在文章中起到“画龙点睛”的作用。
通常主题句出现在一篇文章的开头，而后，全文对主题句所提出的内容进行解释、扩展。
写主题句应注意以下几点：①归纳出你要写的文章的几个要点②提炼出一句具有概括性的话③主题句应具有可读性，抓住、吸引读者。
（二）巧用连接词要想使文章有整体性、连贯性，就要学会正确使用连接词。

【范文】Dear Tom,How are you doing? I wonder if you could sell some Chinese knots for me. I made them myself with red still threads, cloths and other materials. They look really beautiful in the shape of a diamond, about 5 inches long and 4 inches wide. n China, these knots stand for friendship ,love and good luck. People can either give them as gifts to friends or hang them in their houses. They are only US dollars each. If anyone wants to know more about the knots, let them write to me. Also, do let me know if you need further information. Thank you!Li Hua.（2014年）一家英语报社向中学生征文，主题是"十年后的我"、请根据下列要求和你的想象完成短文。
