1关于写主题句的建议 1)要写合乎语法的句子 ) Example 1: Two causes o

f the American Civil War. 这个句子是个不完整的句子,不合乎语法,因此不能用

作主题句。 Example 2: There were two causes that led to the American Civi

l War. 重写后的句子合乎语法,是个较好的主题句。

2)要使用限写词限定主题 ) 为了正确表达观点,好的主题句经常使用关键词

或词组,即限制词(controllers)限制 这一观点。 Example 3: Air travel is m

ore convenient than train for at least three reasons. 从上例主题句我们得知

作者将要写“air travel”( topic),他将要把 “train” ( aspect)和“ air

 travel”作比较,并且陈述“reasons”。由此可见,作者在“aspect”(方 面)和

“reason”(原因)两方面限制他的主题。

3)要注意主题的可写性 ) 所定的主题不能太笼统,也不能太具体。 Example

 4: In Hemingway's story “Soldier’s Home”,Krebs tells his mother that

 he wants no part of God's Kingdom. 这个句子太具体以至于无东西可写,无法展

开段落。

Example 5: In Hemingway's story “Soldier’s Home”, Kreb is a lone

ly, cynical veteran. 这个句子可作为主题句,因为可以围绕“lonely,cynical

”展开段落。 Example 6: Let me tell you something about overpopulation. 

这个句子太笼统,作为一个段落的主题太大,难于驾驭。 Example 7: Why has the

 world population been increasing sorapidly in the last decades? 这个句子

是个较好的主题句,作者用“the reasons for overpopulation in the last decad

es”,从“原因”(cause)和“时间”(time)两方面限制了主题,能在一个段落内

The one most people are familiar with is the“desk dictionary”,some

times refered to as general-purpose dictionary. Another kind is the prono

uncing

dictionary, which is concerned with a word's pronunciation more than

 with its meaning. A third type is the bilingual dictionary, which lists

page 1 the words in one language and attempts to give equivalent meaning in anot

her language. Other types include technical dictionaries, special purpos

e dictionaries,and scholarly
