明明托福的寫作課我都有去上
我還了解魚架構，三品圖。
但我還是不了解寫作的概念，每次想點子想到快起笑。
這個爛坑現在不解決什麼時候解決QQ
每週都要交一篇托福作文麻煩我的英文老師更改。
可是! 我每次都寫得很Confuse.
我覺得現在用confuse最能表達我的內心。
因為我完全就不懂我什麼時候要舉什麼例？
什麼時候要反證？什麼時候要轉折？什麼時候要?
三個例子要能有小到大由近到遠由general 到 specific
我都知道但我就是不知道我在寫啥？寫得對不對！
只好砍掉重練了@@
首先先推這個部落格！
先感謝部落格的媽咪版主的這篇文章讓我了解英文寫作QQ!
請原諒我生性害羞又內向，不敢在留言中感謝您QQ
先是看了文章內附的「How to write better」PPT的講解後，再搭配文章中教練的指示！
是說什麼教練我也不是很曉得!
這份PPT寫得很好我先稍微把一些重點筆記下來
The structure of a paragraph
-
Topic sentence主題句：Stating what the paragraph is about. This would normally, but not always come at the beginning of the paragraph.
-
Explanation/elaboration + examples 範例解釋+例證：Explanation or definition of any terms which may be unclear. Then provide evidence for any assertions you make: references to the sources you have used; data, statistics and illustrations.
-
Implications 呼應與強化主張： Awareness of the implications, stress ideas again and wrapping up an argument. ( this part is optional )
-
Conclusion 結論： Your last chance to persuade your readers to your point of view, to impress yourself upon them as a writer and thinker. And the impression you create in your conclusion will shape the impression that stays with your readers after they’ve finished the essay.
至於接下來交到怎麼分割文章，這邊我就不是太懂不過大致上，長這樣。

要馬就是空四格不空行，要馬就是空行不空四格。
接下來要舉出一個超重要的主題。
Remember S E X I
-
S = Statement 論點 (thesis sentence)
-
E = Explanation 說明
-
X = eXample舉例
-
I = Importance/implications 結果與影響
接下來來舉例：
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Professional athletes such as football and basketball players do not deserve the high
salaries that they are paid.
• Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
**Thesis**
我的觀點
Disagree.
Professional athletes are not being overpaid.
**Statement**
為什麼我這麼覺得
Supply and demand determine these athletes’ market value.
**Explanation**
解釋我的觀點
Professional athletes provide a service: they display superb skills and stunning athletic prowess for crowds of people to enjoy. As long as people are willing to spend top dollar to attend sporting events, who can say that their high salaries are underserved?
**Example**
進一步舉例說明
And let’s not forget that sports tournaments are broadcast all over the world via satellite and the Internet, and these channels generate massive revenues for sports clubs, sponsors and television companies.
**Importance/implications**
這個觀點為什麼重要/有什麼
意義
I think it is fair for great athletes to share the proceeds from their companies’ commercial success.

-
Insight 個人觀點與洞察Insight is the personal understanding gained as a result of coming in contact with particular information. Insight is the understanding gained from your own point of view. It is knowledge or information mixed with your personal experience.
-
Simplicity 言簡意賅Simplicity is about presenting information in an easy-to-understand manner. Simplicity is about making the information easily memorable by breaking it down from a complex whole to tiny understandable bits. Simplicity is the evidence of insight.
-
Depth 深度Depth simply refers to how detailed your content is. Depth is about how well you’re driving home your point.
-
Breadth 廣度If depth is about details, then breadth is about association. It answers the question, “How do the insights you’re sharing relate to other relevant concepts/subjects/principles/ideas familiar to the reader?”
-
Relevance 關聯性/共鳴性People don’t read for the mere fun of reading:they read because they want to learn and apply knowledge or information creatively in order to solve a problem.
