段落是文章的縮影。寫(xiě)好了段落，就能比較成功地寫(xiě)出較好的文章。經(jīng)過(guò)中學(xué)英語(yǔ)基礎(chǔ)階段的學(xué)習(xí)之后，大學(xué)英語(yǔ)的寫(xiě)作重點(diǎn)就從選詞造句轉(zhuǎn)移到了聯(lián)句成段和聯(lián)段成篇上。進(jìn)行段落層次上的寫(xiě)作訓(xùn)練，是寫(xiě)好英語(yǔ)文章的關(guān)鍵一環(huán)。下面介紹的是段落結(jié)構(gòu)。
段落（ paragraph?。┦怯杀磉_(dá)單一中心思想（controlling idea or central idea ）的一組句子（包括主題句 topic sentence,推展句supporting sentences及結(jié)論句concluding sentence）構(gòu)成，是文章結(jié)構(gòu)的基本獨(dú)立單位。本講我們將就主題句和中心思想這兩個(gè)方面進(jìn)行討論?！?BR> 第四講 主題句與推展句
1． 主題句
主題句（topic sentence）是表達(dá)段落主題的句子。它用以概括段落大意，要求全段其他文字都圍繞它展開(kāi)。請(qǐng)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.
主題句中提出的?。ertain rules＂ 指的是什么？展開(kāi)句中通過(guò)四個(gè) ＂Don't argue---" 逐一加以交代。從結(jié)構(gòu)來(lái)看，這是一個(gè)比較典型的段落，它包括了主題句，推展句和結(jié)論句（即本段中的末句）。
