篇文章着重强调了语言发展变化的原因）。此外，文中所用的一些转换词语使文章有了明显的连贯性。作者通过“initially…another　major　cause　is…a　continuing　cause　for　change　is…”这一灵活多变的转换句式巧妙地引出了语言变化的三大原因。因此，文章读起来既连贯一致，又具有较强的说服力。

respectively．

28．1　Situational　position

In　recent　years，situational　position　has　been　frequently　used　in　CET—4．This　kind　of　writing　requires　students　to　write　according　to　the
given　situation（sometimes　in
Chinese，sometimes　in
English）；its
characteristic　is　that　the　main　idea　and　information　are　all　contained　in　the
given　situation．

Sample　Test　Item

clearly，and　try　to　understand　everything
that　you　are　required　to　do；

2）Examine　the　given　situation　of　each　paragraph，then　pick　out　the　key　words；

e．g．

①My　most　favourite　programme　is……

②The　programme　is　interesting　as
well　as；instructive．

③The　reason　why　I　like　it　is　that……

Model　Essay　28…1

Nowadays　radio　and　TV　play　a　more　and　more　important　role　in　our
daily　lives．There　are
many　programmes　shown　every　day．Some　of　them　are　very　good．My　most　favourite　programme　is“The　Animal　World”，which　is　shown　on　television　every　Sunday　night．

The　programme　is　interesting　as　well　as　instructive．It　providesus　with　natural　scenes
of　the　lives　of　all　kinds　of　wild　animals　together　with　the　vivid　explanations
of　the　narrator．Besides，the　pictures　are　very　beautiful　and
some　of　them　are　also　very　valuable．They　contain　much　information　not　only　about　animals，but　also　about　plants．

The　reason　why　I　like　this　programme　is　that，being　born　and　bred　in　the　city，I　have　not　seen　any　wild　animals，and　the　programme　pensates　for
this．In　addition，it　provides　me　with　rich　knowledge
about　nature　and　the　animal　world．

Believe　it　or　not，it　is　really　a　great　joy　to　watch　it．

第二十九单元　主题句作文Topic　Sentence　position

　　

29．1　Introduction

This　is　the　most　mon　position　practised　in　CET…4．Usually　the　title　and　the　topic
sentences　of　each　paragraph　are　given．You　are　required　to　write　exactly　according　to　the　title．You　must　use　the　given　topic
sentences．

Sample　Test　Item：

Directions：For　this　part，you　are　allowed　30　minutes　to　write　a　position　about“Television　”in　three　paragraphs．

You　are　given　the　first　sentence　of　each　paragraph　an　dare　required
to　develop　the　idea　in　pleting　the　paragraph．Your　position　should　be　about　100words，not　including　the　words　given．　Remember　to　write　clearly．

　　

Television

　　

1）Television
presents　a　vivid　world　in　front　of　us．

2）Television
can　also　play　an　educational　role　in　our　daily　life．

3）However，television　can　also　be　harmful．

29．2　Analysis　and　Advice　on　How　to　Deal　with　the　Essay

1）Read　the　directions　carefully，and　make　sure
that　you　understand　the　requirements；

2）Find　out　the　relationship　between　the　title　and　the　topic　sentences．

From　the　above　analysis，we　know　that　we　may　use　the　technique　of　examples　to　illustrate　the
advantages　and　disadvantages　of　television　in　our　daily　life．

3）Thoroughly　examine　the　topic　sentences，then　pick　out　keywords　in　each　topic　sentence；

e．g．The　key　words　of　each　topic
sentence　in　the　above　writing　are：“vivid　world”，“educational　role　in　daily　life”，“harmful”．

4）Find　out　the　relationships　between　the　topic　sentences；

From　the　given　topic　sentences，we　can　see　that　the　second　topic　sentence　is　a　further　development
of　the　first　one．The
transitional　word“also”shows　that　the　two　topic　sentences
are　parellel．So　we　have　to
write　the　advantages　of　television　in　the　first　two　paragraphs—in　the　first　paragraph，write“vivid　world”，while　in　the　second，“educational　role”；In　the　third　topic　sentence，the　transitional　word　“However”changes　the　point　of　view　from　positive“vivid”，“educational”to　negative“harmful”．Thus，we　should
write　the　disadvantages　of　television　in　the　paragraph．

Television

　　

Television　presents　a　vivid　world　in　front　of　us．On　television，we　can　watch　exciting　football
matches　or　Olympic　marathons．We　can“travel”to　New　York　to　visit　its　famous
monuments　and　museums　or　to　London　to　attend　the　royal　wedding．We　can　also“go”to　a　concert　with　a　cup　of　coffee　in　one　hand．　With　a　TV　set，we　can　take　part　in　many　events
without　leaving　the　house．

Television　can　also　play　an　educational　role　in　our　daily　life．Bes
