第二篇：写作课期末考试总结

概括A paragraph is a unity of thought composed of sentences ,smaller

units of thought ,that relate to a single topic.

a good paragraph is composed in such a way that it has:

1) unity :each sentence a relates to a main idea with nothing in the

paragraph not covered by the topic sentence.

2) Coherence :the sentence are tied each other and to the main

idea ,they flow smoothly.

3) Completeness :it explores the main idea explicitly and

concretely ,with plenty of details ,examples ,and explanations.

1An excellent way of achieving unity is by means of the

topic .properly used ,the topic sentence forces the writer to and

to sustain the point he is trying to establish.

The topic sentence properly used can achieve unity in the

paragraph ,which indicates the importance of topic sentence.

The topic sentence is an emphatically placed ,explicit statedment

of the central idea in a paragraph.

in short ,a good topic sentence has a limited subject

and a sharp focus ,namely ,a good topic sentence is not too

general nor too narrow .a topic sentence that is too general

requires much more than paragraph to develop it .a topic sentence

that is too narrow leaves little to be said in the rest of the

paragraph.

Coherence is connection and consistency.

Just topic sentence help reader follow our ideas ,other singer

also help them understand what we have to say .we can establish

better coherence by using the following devices ;pronoun

reference ,repetition ,and transitional words and phrases.

Completeness:

Completeness in a paragraph means that the topic is adequately

develop by details ,explanation ,definitions ,evidences ,and the

like ,so that the reader is not left with what only a fuzzy idea

of what the writer means.

2development of the main idea ,then ,is like enlarging a

photograph to make details clearer .so ,development in the

paragraph is as unity and coherence because skillful development

helps us to stick to our subject and focus and to keep up the

sense of oneness.

Three basic patterns of logical reasoning in paragraph

development :inductive 归纳法(periodic paragraph掉尾段)deductive

演绎法,and inductive-deductive(major support主承接 minor support)

The most important sequences of development are general to

particular ,particular to general ,climactic 层递顺

序,chronological时间顺序 ,and spatial空间顺序.

climactic sequence :the most intense or highest point of interest

is saved for the final sentence ,which may be ,but is not

necessarily ,the topic sentence.

Chronological sequence :sentence is one in which earlier things

precede later things ;items are listed in the order in which they

ocuur in time ,the most obvious use of a chronological sequence

is in telling a story.

Spatial sequence :a is used in descriptions of various types ,it

starts the reader at a particular point and then moves logically

in some direction ,from one place to another.

Among the most important types of paragraph development are

development by details ,comparison and

contrast ,process ,classification and partition ,cause and

effect ,definition ,and mixed development.

A comparison shows how two or more things are alike ,and a

contrast shows how they are deferent.

When we divide ,we begin with a whole ,a complete body of

information or one idea ,and break it into its parts .when we

classify ,we begin with many small observations and sort them

into categories on the basis of their aimilarities.

Causal analysis involves the ability to see and effect

relationships between two elements.

In order to arrive at a cause ,we need to distinguish among three

kinds ,necessary ,sufficient and contributory.

Definitions are particularly important for limiting the intended

meaning of abstract or technical terms行语.

There are two types of definition :formal definition and extended

definition .formal definition includes the term itself ,the class

it belongs to ,and the details that distinguish it from other

items in its class .

A single paragraph often contains more than one type of

development ,almost any kind of paragraph may include examples oe

illustrations .the important thing is to avoid switching abruptly

and apparently without reason from one kind of development to

another in the middle of a paragraph .

The introduction should agree in tone and style with rest of the

essay .

In general .diction is the choice of words express the writer’s

ideas and feeling exactly .the choice of words will depend on his

purpose ,his point of view ,and his reader .

Every word has a denotation and a connotation .to denote means to

point to ,to connote means to imply .the denotation of a word is

its bare dictionary definition ;the connotation includes all of

the emotional overtones suggested by the word .

The semantic triangle语义三角 :explains how words derive their

meaning from being matched up with an object or

concept .according to this theory ,each word operates as a symbol

with a referent (thing the word stands for) and a

reference(thoughts about the word )

Concrete words refer to tangible ,material things that can be

experienced with the sense (nectarine ,nail polish).abstract

words refer to qualities pr conditions rather than to specific

objects or examples(sweetness , fulfillment )general words refer

to entire groups or class(people fuel)specific words refer to

explicit ,particular examples of a group or class(boy scouts

kerosene)unlike abstract and concrete ,general and specific are

relative terms .

Use words economically :some writers get into habit of

automatically using meaningless phrases ,often introductory

phrases ,that take up space and add nothing to meaning ,such

phrases are commonly called deadwood .

The greatest enemies of fresh diction are clichés滥用词 ,vogue

words流星语 ,nonce words现造词 ,fine writing 辞藻华丽地文章and

particular words and phrases .
