第三部分 第七讲 写好开头和结尾， 实现升级策略 第二部分
俗话说得好：好的开头是成功的一半(Well begun is half done)；结尾好，一切都好(All is well that ends well)。一篇英语作文的开头如果写得好，就会给阅卷老师良好的印象，吸引他继续读下去；如果结尾又写得好，就会进一步强化阅卷老师对你所写作文的好感，从而给你的作文打高分。
一、如何写好开头 开头一般来说要做到开门见山，使读者了解文章要谈什么，最好能立刻引起读者的兴趣。下面介绍几种常见的写法： 1．背景法——说明事件发生的时间、地点、背景等 Last Monday，my father said goodbye to my mother and me and went on a business trip. 上周一，我爸爸向妈妈与我告别，因为他要外出做生意。
2．主题句法——提出一个观点或论据作为文章要阐明和论述的主题 Old people play an important role in our country，because they have experience，they are wiser，and they have enough time. 老年人在我们国家起着重要的作用，因为他们经验丰富，聪明智慧，时间充足。
3．问题法——用提出问题的方法来引出文章的内容，以吸引读者的注意力 Why do we go to university？Different people have different opinions. 我们为什么要上大学？不同的人有不同的观点。
4．引语法——摘录或引用某些名人的名言或常见的习语、谚语作为文章的开端 There is an old English saying，“Gain time，gain life”． Then what is time？Time is a kind of thing that we can't see or touch，but we can feel it pass by. 有一个古老的英语谚语“赢得时间，就赢得生命”。 那么，时间是什么呢？时间是一种看不见、摸不着的东西，但是我们能感觉到它的流逝。
5．定义法——常见于对标题下定义，然后通过举例、逻辑推理等方法加以说明 A good student is one who possesses good morality，sound health，perfect knowledge and various abilities. 一个好学生要拥有良好的品德、健全的身体、完美的知识和各种各样的能力。
6．数据法——引用已经证实的某些统计数字来引起话题 The fact that less than 5%of the British population graduate from universities may seem surprising，especially compared with the American percentage of over 30%. 英国人口中大学毕业生所占的比例不足5%的事实看上去很令人吃惊，尤其是和美国的超过30%的比率相比。
