范文:Generation gap between parents and children
Nowadays, there are more and more misunderstanding between parents and children which is so-called generation gap.It is estimated that(75 percentages of parents often complain their children's unreasonable behavior while children usually think their parents too old fashioned).Why have there been so much misunderstanding between parents and children? Maybe the reasons can be listed as follows.The first one is that(the two generations, having grown up at different times, have different likes and dislikes, thus the disagreement often rises between them).Besides(due to having little in common to talk about, they are not willing to sit face to face).The third reason is(with the pace of modern life becoming faster and faster, both of them are so busy with their work or study that they don't spare enough time to exchange ideas).To sum up, the main cause of XX is due to(lake of communication and understanding each other).It is high time that something were done upon it.For one thing(children should respect their parents).On the other hand,(parents also should show solicitude for their children).All these measures will certainly bridge the generation gap.说明原因型模块(2)

范文:The importance of self-confidence
Currently, self-confidence has been the order of the day.This does demonstrate the theory---nothing is more valuable than self-confidence.It is clear that(self-confidence means trust in one's abilities).If you(are full of self-confidence, it will bring your creative power to play, arouse your enthusiasm for work, and help you overcome difficulties), as a result, your dreams will come true.On the contrary, if you(have no confidence in yourself, there is little possibility that you would ever achieve anything).Failure will be following with you。It turns out that all your plan falls through.No one can deny another fact that(self-confidence gives you light when you are in dark and encouragement when you are dismayed).You don’t have to look very far to find out the truth, in respect that we all know(the secret of MMe.Curie lies in perseverance and self-confidence, the latter in particular).It will exert a profound influence upon(the achievement of one's ambitions).With reference to my standpoint, I think(he that can have self-confidence can have what he will).说明原因型模块(4)

that are disabling, or bringing death not only to human beings, but also to wild life.)From above, we can find that the reasons why(environment are polluted more and more seriously)are as follows.The primary reason, I think, is(the reason of harmful substances into environment.for example, to prevent insects, farmers make use of great amounts of insecticides, so as to have bumper harvests.However, they pollute air, water and land).Second,(the gas coming from the car engines and factories also make environment polluted badly).The third reason actually is(the result of a growing population in the world.Everyday, so much litter and waste are poured out from houses, also pollute the environment).The significance for(controlling pollution)noted that it's high time that more effective measures should be taken.Therefore,(new laws should be passed to limit the amount of pollutants from factories.moreover, in the households, there is an obvious need to reduce litter and waste.Let's make our good efforts, and the world will be a safer place to live for us).说明原因型模块(5)

范文:Pollution of environment
These days we often hear that(our living conditions are getting more and more serious because of the destruction of our environment).It is common that(many trees and animals are near extinction, and the all-important food chain has been destroyed.)
Why does such circumstance occur in spite of social protects? For one thing,(the population of the world is increasing so rapidly that the world has been so crowded.)For another,(the overuse of natural resources has influenced the balance of natural ecology).What is more, since(the industrial revolution), it is natural that(a great number of factories have been springing up like mushrooms.The smoke and harmful chemicals released from factories also pollute the environment).To solve the problem is not easy at all, but is worthy.We should do something such as(planting more trees, equipping cars with pollution-control devices and learning to recycling natural resources)to improve the present situation, and I do believe everything will be better in the future.英语四六级写作试题模板—提纲式作文

Bad Manners in Public
5)1列举人们在公共场所的不良现象。
2对其中某一种现象陈述你的看法并简单说明理由。
Bad Manners in Public
Although we consider ourselves as highly advanced being living in a civilized society, bad manners can still be found here and there.For example, some cyclists run the red traffic lights, many passengers litter waste papers and plastic bags in public places, and some tourists scrabble in tourists attractions, let alone spit on the street.In the cinema, some audience talk loudly on cell phones in front of others.I’m strongly against talking loudly in the cinema, for this behavior shows no respect at all to others;what’s worse, it upsets the audience who are in the mood of having fun.My Opinion on Cell Phones
6)1.使用手机的好处。
2.使用手机的弊端。
3.我的看法。
My Opinion on Cell Phones
Cell phones do play an important role in people’s daily life, but every coin has its two sides.To start with, as a wireless mobile phone, it’s convenient for the user at any time to contact others.Secondly, it’s helpful companion.With a multifunctional cell phone in hand, one can easily surf the net, downloading what he needs.However, the cell phone has many disadvantages.For one thing, the machine itself is very expensive and its local service is very costly, not to mention its global service.For another, the radiation from the mobile phones might do harm to the user’s heath.In my opinion, with its expenses being reduced sharply after China’s entry into the WTO, its development will have a brighter future.Therefore its advantages will far outweigh its disadvantages.7).1.了解对方最近的学习情况。
2.你的学习情况。
3.请对方说说提高英语水平的经验。
Dear Robert:
I’m very pleased to know that you are now studying in Qinghua University from your email.How about your study and life there?

第三篇:英语说明文
这一类文章的性质和目的是在解释,提供知识,和表明观念;“exposition”这个字的意思就是“explanation”(解释),既然如此,这类文章最大的要求是清晰;作者可以使用任何方法和技巧,以期能达到清晰明确的境地。
依一般分类,说明文有下列六种:
(1)定义法(Definition)
(2)例说法(Example)
(3)分类法(Classification)
(4)分析法(Analysis)
(5)类比法(Analogy)
(6)比较法或对比法(Comparison Or Contrast)
[注]说明文中亦可穿插以描写文与叙述文的写作方法。
说明文是写作最常用到的体裁,其最常用的方法就是将事物加以解说。例如,说明事物的过程,说明事物的因果,说明事物的状态等等。对人物来说,说明该人物的处境,说明该人物的想法,说明该人物的背景等等。如果要将描述文与说明文作一严格区分的话,那就是描述文重官能的观察与感受,而说明文重头脑的分析与理性的研判。对事物的体验是一同事,而对事物的彻底了解又是另一同事。体验是官能的,而了解却是观念上的问题。闻到花是香的,乃是官能上的,而花为什么是香的,却是知识性的观念上的问题。前者是描述文的范围,后者则是说明文的范围。
知识性的东西我们可从百科全书,字典辞源,各科手册,以及语言的文法修辞等书籍来获得。但这些仅是资料而已,要将资料变成一篇文章还需要文字的组织能力。我们可以这样说,说明文是一种实用的写作方法,将人类的知识系统化,这可以说是一种其功至伟的写作方法。
说明文最简单的方法就是例证法:将详细资料表列,一一举证,以说明什么是什么,怎样发生,结果怎样。另外两种较复杂的说明文是分析法与定义法:其方法必用到归类法与等级法。例如,要说明一件机器的操作,就必须把这件机器加以归类,引述其功能目的。又如,要了解一条鲸鱼,首先要将其归为哺乳类,因为它是胎生动物而非卵生鱼类。而后再进而分析鲸鱼中许多不同的类别。定义法以研究其事物的必然性为主,不涉及其他。
说明文中当有比较法与对照法,必须用此类方法的原因,乃是有些抽象事物无法具体归类,于是只好用类例来此较对照之;即以类例说出与其相关的概念,使读者容易接受其概念。
<范文> Dreams
Men have always been interested in their dreams.In superstitious(2)ages and countries, dreams were regarded very seriously.Every dream was supposed to have a meaning, and it was the business of priests and astrologers(3)to interpret people's dreams for them.They were generally looked upon as predictions of the future warnings of coming dangers or sorrows, or prophecies of coming good fortune.Dreams were believed to be supernatural communications from the gods, or the spirits of the dead, and so were divine revelations.Educated people no longer look on dreams in this way.Some laugh at them as mere illusions, and not worthy of any serious consideration;but others find them interesting for psychological(4)study.For one thing, dreams prove that in the sleep we are not completely unconscious.Part of our brain is awake and working.We are unconscious of our immediate surroundings in sleep.We see nothing, we hear no-thing, and know nothing of what is going on around ns.Yet the fact that we dream proves we are not completely unconscious.It is often interesting to try to discover the cause of dreams.The causes of some dreams are purely physical.A heavy supper which causes indigestion, will give us nightmare, particularly horrible and terrifying kind of dream.Some one knocking at our door may make us dream we are on the battlefield and deafened with the thunder of guns.One man dreamt he was walking near the crater of a volcano and his feet were burnt with the hot rocks;but when he woke up, he found his feet were pressed upon his hot-water bottle!
Most dreams are really confused and disjointed memories of past events in our lives.We can often trace a dream back, and find it was suggested by something we saw or heard or read about only a day or two before.For example, a lawyer, who had been thinking over a case late at night, dreamt when he went to bed of nothing but lizards.When he came to his study in the morning, he found that, while he was thinking out his case, he had been staring unconsciously at his clock, the case of which was decorated with(5)the bronze image of a lizard.Dreams refer to the past, not the future.And they are not supernatural, but only the confused workings of our own imaginations.语汇说明
(1)Dreams(梦):这篇说梦的文章是从四个方面来加以述说:(A)梦曾被认为是预卜未来的超自然表现;(B)梦证明我们睡着了的时候并非全然没有知觉;(C)有些梦是因生理上的原因而引起的;(D)大部份的梦是过去事件的杂乱记忆。
(2)superstitious:迷信的(3)astrologers:占星家;星象家
(4)Psychological:心理上的;心理学上的(5)be decorated with:饰以…;装饰着...
第四篇:英语说明文范文
说明文是对事情的发生、发展、结果、特征、性质、状态、功能等进行解释、介绍、阐述的一种文体。这类文章的目的和性质是客观地介绍、解释事物,使读者获得知识和信息,并不需要发表主张、做出证明。一般说来,知识简介,商品介绍,旅游指南,科技读物,工作总结,实验报告,教材辅导等均属说明文之列。
写说明文,可以按时间、空间、结构、逻辑顺序来写,也可以采取举例、比较、对比、分类、分析、说明、叙述等方法。
1.比较对照
比较对照有两种,一是逐点比较,二是整块比较,即AB交错或先A后B:
1)逐点比较:多数人认为这种AB交错的方式可以避免行文的单调沉闷,对比的效果更鲜明突出。如:
There are basic differences between large and small enterprises.In a small enterprise, you operated mainly through personal contacts.In a large enterprise, you have established “policies” , “channels” of organization, and fairly strict procedure.In the small enterprise you have immediate effectiveness in a very small area.You can see the effect of your work and of your decisions ground.In the large organization you are normally taught one thing thoroughly.In the small one the danger is of becoming a Jack-of-all-trades-but-master-of-none.In the large it is of becoming the man who knows more and more about less and less.2)整块比较
It is easy to be a winner.A winner can show his joy publicly.He can laugh and sing and dance and celebrate his victory.People love to be with winners.Winners are never lonely.Unlike winners, losers are the lonely ones of the world.It is difficult to face defeat with dignity.Losers can not show their disappointment publicly.They can not cry or grieve about their defeat.They may suffer privately, but they must be composed in public.They have nothing to celebrate and no one to share their sadness.2.分类
分类是人类认识客观世界的重要手段之一,也是描写事物、解释观点最有效的方式之一。通过将一事物分类,可使复杂事物变得清晰明了,便于作者阐述自己的观点。
分类段落的各类排列要条理,可采用从主要到次要,从次要到主要,从多到少或从少到多等方式排列,亦可平行排列。如:
1)As far as political views are concerned, people fall into three categories.First are the conservative people.Conservatives are opposed to sudden or great changes.Second are the liberal people.These people are in favor of progress and reform.But their opinions often seem to idealistic.The third type is the moderate people.The moderates keep everything within reasonable limits.They are more practical in this hard world.In my opinion, most people seem to belong to this group.本段采用平行排列的方式,按人的政治观点分为三类:保守、自由和温和。
2)These are several reasons why I decided tom attend Bingston University.First of all, the tuition is reasonable.Secondly, the university has a deferred payment plan., which lessons the load of peasant families like mine.Another reason is that Bingston has the finest teachers in its graduate program.My chief reason, however, is Bingston’s program in agriculture, my chosen field, which is recognized as the leader in this area.该段采用主次排列的方式,分析了作者决定上Bingston大学的原因。
3)According to Mr.Li, the fifteen students of his cLASS fall into three groups.Seven of them work hard and study well.They always get good marks in examinations and are often praised by
the teachers.Li calls them “good students”.The monitor, the secretary of the Youth League, and the captain of the cLASS volleyball team, are quick in finding out what their fellow students are interested in or what they should do as a collective.They always organize proper activities at the proper time.So Li calls them “good organizers”.Four other students are very kind to their cLASSmates, always ready to lend them a helping hand.They help to clean the cLASSroom and the corridor even when they are not on duty.Li says that they are “ good comrades”.“What about yourself?” someone asks him.“I’m a group by my self ——a good observer”.该段不同于以上两段,不是先分类再解释,而是先说明其特点,然后定义分类。虽分类并不科学,却达到了其幽默之目的。
3.特征
例证指具体说明人或事物特点、本质及其规律的方法。所用例子需有代表性、典型性。例证型段落的写作方式多为先提出主题再列举事例。在事例之前一般有For example或For instance。例证后面,根据情况还可以加上结论句。如:
In order to prevent non-smokers from being affected, measures must be taken to reduce the chances of smoking.A lot of work can be done concerning this.For example, in some public places, such as in the theatres and cinemas, smoking should be forbidden.Even on the train or plane people should not be allowed to smoke.Doctors, teachers and government leaders should take the lead not to smoke.Above all, the harmfulness and dangers caused by smoking should be made known to all through newspapers, broadcast, or TV programs.Also the growing of tobacco and the production of cigarettes should not be encouraged.If these measures can be taken, we can effectively reduce the chances of smoking.因果
因果是两个事物之间的关系。一些说明文,议论文通过分析因果关系说明一个中心思想。如不能把因果关系解释清楚,文章将无法说明任何主题。
因果型段落的扩展模式有两种,一是分类编法,另一个是连环编排法。如果只讨论成因或只讨论结果,细节比较简单,只需按其重要性或其逻辑顺序进行编排。分类编排法指先讨论原因,然后讨论结果;或先讨论结果,后讨论原因。
1)分类编排法:
Music is my chief hobby.When I listen to music, good things happen to me.If I am lonely or homesick, I listen to pop music.The quick rhythm, the strong beats of drums lift my sprits.If I am familiar with a song, I will sing alone with it and my depression disappears.When I am bored or very tired, I listen to Mozart.His music makes me feel alive.Music also reminds me of home.Before I came to college, my sisters and I would listen to music and sing songs together and cheer us.Now I enjoy listening to music and singing with my roommates because their smiles make me remember the happy times with my family.For me, music is an excellent escape, and without it, I wouldn’t be so happy。
2)连环编排法是先讨论一组因果,再一组因果,再一组因果,形成一个锁链。当因果紧密相连,前一果为后一果之因时,经常使用这种方式。
Students shouldn’t stay up so late.Because of the pressure of examinations, many students burn night candles.The next day, they have to get enough sleep.As a result, many of them get sleepy in ClASs.They couldn’t catch what the teacher says.Not having studied their lessons well, they find it difficult to make good performance in examinations.So, it is not worthwhile to stay up late if you want to study well.5.人物描写
人物描写包括外部特征、性格特征、思想状态、行为语言等,用于表现人物精神面貌、披露人物内心活动、揭示人物性格变化,借以突出作品主题思想。如:
My sister is a boyish girl.She has short and straight hair like a boy’s.She likes white, black and grey colors, as most boys do.She never cares for shirts, stockings but loves jackets and jeans.Sometimes she wears a men’s suit and leather shores as if she were a gentleman.Basketball and football are her favorite sports.She also enjoys watching boxing.She always shouts and cheers excitedly when she is watching a football match.When she is with her friends, she always says Ladies first” to other girls.The most interesting thing is that she has been mistaken for a boy many times.And she is pleased with that.She always says that she should be a boy.第一句作者明确表示他眼中的妹妹是个男孩子气十足的小姑娘。这样读者大都会在心中勾画出一种从长相、穿着到言谈举止都特男孩化的女孩。下文作者正是通过穿着、外貌和性格等方面向读者展现一个活生生的人物形象。
6.地点描写
地点描写指用生动形象的语言对某一地点、某一环境进行具体逼真的描绘,使读者如临其境、如睹其物。地点描写的对象可大可小,在可以为城市、国家,小可是一间教室,一个房间。地点描写自然按空间顺序排列,作者应立足于一个出发点,由远及近,由近到远,从里到外,从外到里,由左到右,或由右到左进行描写,顺序不可混乱,否则读者会迷失方向。如下面一段作者从大门开始,由外向里逐步介绍学校的布置,读者如同跟着作者参观了一所校园。Now I will show you around our school.It is one of the largest middle schools in the city.When you step into the gate, you will see a beautiful flower bed before you.In the middle of the flower bed there is a fountain with many colored flowers around it.If you walk along the school road, you will come to the playground, on each side of which are rows of trees.We often read books under the trees.On the right of the playground are two ClASsroom buildings.On the left is the newly-built four-storyed building.I’m lucky to study here.I love my school very much.7.物体描写
描写物体时应侧重物的形状、规格大小、颜色和功能。任何一段文字都应有叙述的中心,对物的描写也不例外。同样,主题句也应反映出作者对所要描写物体的看法、态度。如: The first thing I notice in the bride’s room is the beautiful curtain.This curtain is patchwork in design, and is sewn out of squares of materials of different colors like white, light green, brown and orange.It is made of silk, trimmed with delicate braids.It is about six feet long and hangs from a wooden rail.The curtain matches perfectly with the dark wooden rail and furniture in the room.通过主题句可以看出作者想向读者描写的是一幅漂亮的窗帘。
