第三章 破解短文写作(大作文)
主题句作文
1. 写作攻略
主题句作文也可以叫做段首句作文，要求考生将每段所给出主题句分别加以扩展，完成段落，然后由段落组成文章。主题句作文是目前较常用的一种出题方式，它不像一般正规文章那样要求具有开头段和结尾段，一般只给出三句主题句，所以属于一种简单的三段式作文。在写作这种题目的作文时，考生只要正确领悟每个主题句的意思，然后对每段的主题句进行阐述，内容应当展开，可以是对主题句的解释，可以是例证，也可以提供理由或细节。
在对主题句进行展开时，考生要学会如何取舍，有的观点见解独到或是非常精彩，但是在表达时会有问题，考生本身的英语水平可能无法把这个观点表达清楚，这时应该果断地放弃这一观点。因为考试要考生展现的是语言水平而不是思维的深度，考生在写作时应该尽量少暴露自己在语言上的不足。
