1. 重申文章觀點;
2. 總結主體段落的論點;
3. 升華主題。
這三個功能在文中如何體現(xiàn)呢?
請看到如下的例子:
【題目】Should the money invested into a university library be used to buy books or to buy computers? What do you think? Why?
【觀點】I believe that to invest on computers would be a better choice.
【結尾段】In conclusion, given that computers have more valuable merits as an efficient, durable, manageable means for libraries of the new century, I therefore reinforce my standpoint to choose computers as my final choice for the investment.
在這個結尾段,整段就一句話,但實際上它既重申了觀點:I therefore reinforce my standpoint to choose computers as my final choice for the investment……
又總結了主體段落的三個論點理由:computers have more valuable merits as an efficient, durable, manageable means for libraries of the new century.
這樣的結尾段就是符合托福寫作基本要求的,全文沒有其他大問題的話拿24分都沒有問題。那除了這樣的結尾方式,我們還有沒有其他的寫作方法呢?
請看如下第二個例子:
題目:Should the money invested into a university library be used to buy books or to buy computers? What do you think? Why?
結尾段:Admittedly, books do have certain advantages over computers. They are easy to carry than computers. However, computers have more valuable merits as an efficient, durable, manageable means for libraries of the new century.I therefore reinforce my standpoint to choose computers as my final choice for the investment.
在上面這個結尾段中,第一、二句話先承認了書還是有一定好處的,比如容易攜帶。
接著立刻轉折,強調電腦的好處大于書,所以作者選擇電腦是理所應當?shù)摹?/p>
這樣的寫作方法把比較雙方都提到了,體現(xiàn)了邏輯的完整性。
同時,由于電腦優(yōu)點比書多,所以選電腦這個觀點肯定是毋庸置疑的,這樣寫使得論證更加有力。
