雅思写作结构安排指导(英)

　　When you are writing a Task 2 answer, a structure based on the following elements could be used .

　　Introductory paragraph

　　The introduction of a Task 2 answer should begin with a general statement or idea of your own that takes into account the key topic words or their synonyms. The last sentence of the introduction should include a thesis statement which shows the point of view or direction that will be taken in the answer.

　　Body paragraphs

　　Body paragraphs each consist of several sentences that are arranged in a logical way to develop a main idea. You can expect to write about 2-4 body paragraphs for a Task 2 answer. Each of these contains an appropriate connective word to ensure a smooth transition between paragraphs. This connective is then put in a topic sentence which is the main point of the paragraph clearly stated in a sentence. Every sentence in the paragraph must be directly related to it. Try to develop every paragraph adequately. This may be done through the use of examples, explanations, detail, logical inference, cause and effect or making comparisons or contrasts. There are many different ways to organise your ideas for body paragraphs. Be confident of the ideas you choose.

　　The conclusion

　　A good conclusion serves several purposes:

　　It indicates the end of your essay.

　　It gives your final thoughts and assessments on the essay subject.

　　It weighs up the points in your essay and should strengthen your thesis statement.

　　Do not simply repeat your opening paragraph. This appears too mechanical and superficial.
