托福写作开头怎么写

托福写作开头怎么写

一、开头

在任何文章的写作中，有创意的开头至关重要。一个好的开头能吸引读者的注意力，能让读者获悉文章的主题，同时也奠定了文章的基调。文章开头的写法有多种，例如:通过叙述一个故事或一桩轶事、引用别人的话、提出问题等引导读者进入主题:“开门见山”，直入主题等等。请看以下例证:

【1】叙述一个故事或轶事

"Never give up," my mother has always said to me. I gained strength from her words every time I was faced with difficulties and was about to give up. When I was in high school, my mother was laid off by her company. But with the help from the local government and her own determination, she started her own printing business, which has been very successful. With my mother as an example, I have learned to be independent and hard-working for I know success is the result of one's determination and hard work.

【2】引用别人的话

Raymond Moore observes that: "The biggest shortcoming of mass education is the fact that students end up completely turned off to learning." Or as BertrandRussell ruefully concluded: "We are faced with the paradox that education has become one of the chief obstacles of intelligence and freedom of thought."

【3】提出问题

Why do you choose“East Asia Research” as the place to further your studies? Now much do you know about this institution? What strengths do you think you have compared with any other applicants? These questions are often asked not only by my friends but also by myself. To me, this decision was not made on a sudden impulse but on the belief that has been held in my mind for a long time.

【4】“开门见山”，直入主题

I strive to become a prominent researcher of architecture in China in the new millennium. My purpose in pursuing a Ph.D. degree in the University of Pennsylvania, USA, is to acquire both theoretical knowledge and practical skills at a higher level in this field. My main interest, among the concentrations of your Ph.D. program of Architecture, is in Urban Design.
