• 2)写好主题句, 有两条原则 • 1.主题句要明确, 句中须有一个词,词组,或从句让 读者一目了然本段的确切主题, 明确本段的重点或 观点. 例如: This paragraph will talk about birds.这句作为主题句就太笼统, 不确切. 试比较 以下几句, 下列几个主题句就确切地阐明了段落的 主题: • a. Birds have a great sense of direction. • b. Pet owners prefer certain species of birds. • c. In my opinion, a bird makes a better pet than a cat does. • d. Birds are suffering from air-pollution.

Besides, if you sing badly, they will feel uncomfortable. In fact, you are sure to make a sound pollution.
• 2. 下面各段没有主题句,请根据全段内容拟定一个 主题句. • 1) Everyone lives by selling something.

The conditions of society are such that skills have to be paid for in the same way that goods are paid for at shop. Everyone has something to sell.

So we must be very careful with matches, burning cigarettes, faulty electric appliances or unquenched(未扑灭 的) fires.
