最后通過實例詳細論述出國留學的好處。

關于寫作：
三段法
第一段：開門見山
中間段：支持段一般是由一段或兩段組成，目的是支持論點
每段的開頭一句話和最后一句話一定要和主題密切聯(lián)系。
參見Lesson 41

L44-05 end 18’52”
Lesson44A end 1:32:39

Lesson44B begin 1:12:29
L44-06 begin 18’43”

最主要的方法有三種：對比法，比較法，例證法
結(jié)尾段起到的作用是再次肯定和強調(diào)主題，加深讀者印象。
段落是由主題句，擴展句組成，擴展句之后是具體的例子。
想表達不同的理論概念，要用轉(zhuǎn)折句。
主題句應該要簡練，要明確地表達中心思想。
Eg: 1. The discrimination agaist women is very obvious in the world.
2. The discrimination agaist women is especially obvious in the job of marketing.
3. The discrimination agaist women began in 1910.
topic 應為2。
主題句應該具有概括性，但是概括又不能太寬泛。
主題句確立之后，還要進一步利用擴展句為說明解釋主題句的內(nèi)容。
重復使用關鍵詞。
內(nèi)容要連貫。
