6．1段落的特征

 

一個好的段落應該具有以下三個特征：1）完整性（completeness）； 2）統一性（unity）； 3）連貫性（coherence）。

 

6．2完整性

 

段落的完整性指的是段落得以充分展開。作者一俟寫好主題句，就應該用細節進行推展，細節越充足越好。例如，你認為“Riding motorcycles is dangerous”，你就應該用你所知道的事實證明這一觀點是正確的。你可以使用數字（statistics），列舉例子（example），進行描繪（descriptions）等等。

Ever since the time of the Greeks， drama has played an important role in man's lives． The Greek tragedies and come dies were a central part of the citizens' lives in ancient Greece． During the Middle Ages， Bible stories were acted out in churches，and wandering companies of players performed in the streets． In modern times， drama is brought directly into people's homes through the magic of television．

 

6．3示范段落分析

 

主題句： Ever since the time of the Greeks， drama has played animportant role in man's lives．

 

細節：1． ancient Greece

 

2． the Middle Ages

 

3． modern times

 

作者根據各個不同歷史時期提供細節，舉例說明戲劇的重要性。

 

6．4 統一性

 

一個好的段落應該具有統一性。統一性就是一個中心思想統領整個段落。每個細節都應支持主題句，不應有無關的細節。為了支持主題，要盡可能多地提供細節，但又要避免濫用細節。

 

讀下面段落，然后找出毛病。

 

① Innovations， whether practical or aesthetic， are often resisted by the general population．② When the early experiments in the field of aviation began their work， there were many who said，“If God had wanted man to fly， he would have given him wings．③The Wright brothers made the first powered flights in a heavier-than-air craft in 1903 at Kitty Hawk， North Carolina．④Even today there are many who strongly object to modern art and music as being nothing more than “splashes of paint and honking horns．”⑤The painter Picasso's well-known masterpiece “The Three Musicians” is done primarily in blues and browns．
