主题句(topic sentence)是表达段落主题的句子。它用以归纳综合段落大意,要求全段其他文字都环绕它睁开。请看下例:
My mother has passed along to me certain rules for getting along with others. Don‘t argue with parents; they will think you don’t love them. Don‘t argue with children; they will think themselves victimized. Don’t argue with spouses; they will think you are a tiresome mate. Don‘t argue with strangers; they will think you are not friendly. My mother’s rules, in fact, can be summed up in two words: Don‘t argue.
主题句中提出的 “certain rules” 指的是什么?睁开句中经由过程四个 “Don’t argue --” 一一加以交接。从结构来看,这是一个斗劲典型的段落,它搜罗了主题句,推展句和结论句(即本段中的末句)。
1.1 主题句的位置
主题句凡是放在段落的初步,其特点是开宗明义地摆出问题,然后加以具体声名。其浸染是使文章的结构更清楚,更具说服力,便于读者迅速地把握主题和想象全段的内容。主题句可以放在段中起到承先启后的浸染,或放在段尾起归纳综合全段的浸染。但初学者斗劲难于把握,因而在四级考试中,考生应尽量采用将主题句放在段落开首的写作手法。
