七、中间段
【芝麻开门】
中间段是文章的正文 , 其作用是从不同的层面对文章主题进行具体和详实的解释和论证 。中间段的篇幅一般比开头段和结尾段长 , 每段有相应的主题句 , 说明主题思想的扩展句可以采用实例、数据或个人经历等写作手段 。不同种类的段落采用不同的扩展手段 。
【写作要点】:
中间段的具体写作要点如下:
1)所涉及内容应该准确、清楚 , 颇具说服力;2)段落中一定具备主题句;3)段落内容应该保持完整、统一 , 没有说明不足之处或多余冗长的细节;4)内容顺序安排合理 , 逻辑性较强;5)段落之间连贯自然;6)段落中讨论的内容主次分明 , 材料比例适当;7)词与句型运用合理并且有变化 。
【方法例释】 正如我们在第七天和第八天中所介绍的 , 段落展开的基本方法很多 , 这里简要介绍三种中间段中常用的展开方法:列举法、因果法、例证法 。
1.列举法:用来列举一系列的原因、方法等等 , 使文章层次分明 , 眉清目秀 , 阅卷老师在疲惫不堪的状态下 , 看到这样的文章 , 往往会有种在清澈的小溪边小憩片刻的感觉 , 手一抬 , 分就高 。下面这篇例文写的是“健身的几种方法” , 脉络一目了然 。例文如下:
2.因果法:说明原因 , 论述事理 。下面这篇作文讲的是“汉堡受欢迎的原因” , 第一段提出问题“为什么受欢迎呢?”接下来在说原因时 , 用到了上面的列举法 , 只不过不是“first, second, finally”而是“first, then, besides that” , 让人感觉不落俗套 。例文如下:
3.例证法:举具体的事例来证明观点 , 这是议论文最常用的方法 , 尽量找最能体现观点的例子 , 具体点 , 微观点 , 给人说服力 。请看下面作者论证“不劳无获”的观点 , 用的是拳击运动的例子 。例文如下:
