[写作指南]
这是一篇典型的对比类作文,要求考生在肯定“竞争很重要”的同时分析“合作也很重要”的理由,并在最后阐述自己的观点。
根据写作要求,文章的结构安排如下:
第一段开头段,说明竞争的重要性,可以从正反两方面谈;
第二段中间段,从另一方面说明合作的重要性,最好说明理由;
第三段结尾段,谈谈自己的看法,其实就是建议。
[亮点解析]
[1]一种解释引言的句型,emphasizes也可以用indicates,implies等。
[2]意思为“努力”。
类似表达法有tryhardto,makeeffortsto,endeavorto等。
[3]使用同位语可以使语言简练,并增加语言的地道性。
[4]利用比较结构起强调作用。
[5]意思为“否则的话”,含蓄虚拟语气的标志。
[6]意思为“然而”,把连接词插在主谓之间,使语言富有变化。
[7]意思为“更不用说”,表示否定意义的追加。
类似表达法有muchless,stillless等。
[8]意思为“我的观点是”,相当于Ithinkthat。
[9]意思为“换而言之”,进一步说明,使观点更具体。
