英文寫作：快速思考能力培養，讓你每個段落都精彩萬分

最近遇到一個狀況：學生英文能力明顯有IELTS 6以上，但寫出來的文章卻十分空洞。在英文寫作中常常遇到三個問題：(1) 中翻英想破頭不知道怎麼表達；(2) 時間不夠寫；(3) 想不到內容寫。這篇文章要教大家「段落寫作的思考模式」，協助各位慢慢解決(2)和(3)的部分。

重點整理｜段落思考的三個重點

1. 有了論點，再把段落內容寫豐富
2. 用原因、範例、比較、結果展開
3. 練習久了，寫作時間就會夠用

在英文寫作中，每個段落都有固定的形式：第一句一定是主旨句(topic sentence)，最後一句是結語句(concluding sentence)。本篇要教你如何思考「一個段落中能寫什麼」，而不是「文章題目中可以寫什麼」——後者需要先自己有論點、發展立場，這裡則是針對已經發展出的論點，將其內容豐富化。

假設我們發展出的段落主軸是：Money isn't everything since it cannot bring back our health. 我們需要的結構是：主軸→原因→範例→比較→結果。

1. Main point：Many people claim the importance of money; while in my opinion, money isn't everything since it cannot buy health.

2. 原因：Health is something irretrievable. Many diseases are incurable. Once you get them, even a great amount of money could not bring your health back.

3. 範例：Take cancers as examples, statistics show that cancers are the main cause of death nowadays. No matter whether you are rich or poor, many cancers cannot be cured.

4. 比較：Even though money is helpful when it comes to buying medicine, many riches still died of severe diseases.

5. 結果：From the points above, money isn't as important as our health.

短短一段就有70個字，對一篇五段式文章來說已經是相當充足的一段。只要按照「主軸→原因→範例→比較→結果」寫作，一個段落的內容量便相當充足。

段落主軸

這是整個段落的主要論點，後面所有句子都不可以離開這個主軸。若連主軸都想不到，代表平時的閱讀量不夠，需要藉由多方閱讀來提升。

段落主軸可用「(1)描寫趨勢 >> (2)提出意見 >> (3)解釋原因」的結構寫作：(1)Many people claim the importance of money; (2)while in my opinion, money isn't everything (3) since it cannot buy health.

描寫趨勢參考句型：It is often said that … / Many people claim that … / Nowadays, … / … is a hotly debated topic that often divides opinions

提出意見參考句型（雅思、托福、學術寫作盡量避免用第一人稱）：As far as I am concerned, / in my opinion, / from my point of view, / personally speaking,

解釋原因參考句型：The reason why … is that … / because / since

提出原因

直接講出原因，若超過一個原因可利用條列式方法探討。

參考句型：Firstly, let's take a look at … / to start with, … / First of all, it is worth considering… / Second/secondly/third/thirdly… / Furthermore/ moreover/ in addition/ on top of that/ also, … / Another factor to be considered is … / Lastly,/ finally…

範例

提出個人經驗，或某學者、某研究提出的觀點，後者較有說服力。

參考句型：According to many experts/scholars/researches/studies, … / Statistic suggest that … / Research has found/shown that … / There are many who argue that … / In terms of …, …

比較

提出比較是強化論點的方式，但注意這樣的比較不是要削弱自己的立場（例如「雖然錢買不到健康，但沒錢萬萬不能」會讓段落瞬間弱掉），而是提出些微的美中不足，再強調回段落主軸：「雖然有錢可以買藥物治療，但許多有錢人仍敵不過病魔」。

參考句型：Although/ even though…, … / Despite/ in spite of...,… / Despite the fact that … / On one hand, …; on the other hand, … / However,/ nevertheless,/ even so,

提出結果

針對上面的論證做出結論並再次強調主軸，最好用不同方式改寫(paraphrasing)，不要跟主旨句一模一樣。

參考句型：As a result,/ as a result of …,/ consequently,…/ therefore,…/ due to…, / … has led to …/ … has resulted in … / All things considered, …/ taking everything into consideration, …

範文分析

試著分析看看這篇文章哪句屬於以上哪個部分：

Technology makes people get lazier which contributes to health problems in a great degree. Nowadays, everything can be controlled remotely, which greatly reduces people's movement. Before cars were invented, people used bikes or their own feet. Before computers were invented, people went to libraries to get information. Researches have shown that our daily activities have been significantly reduced since 20 years ago. Scholars believe that the improvement of the convenience of our lives is one of the main reasons. However, despite the convenience technology has brought to us, the significant reduction of exercise has become one of the causes of obesity and other diseases. As a result, the development of technology somehow contributes to our illness as well.

練習

挑選一個段落主題來寫一個段落吧！

1. Should death penalty be abolished?

2. Is solo travelling better than group travelling?

3. Separate girls and boys in schools.

試著用上面的結構寫寫看，持續練習，你的段落思考力會越來越強！
