总分总结构在英文写作中的作用和应用

　　这些名家之作思想熠熠，措辞精炼，适合鉴赏。若要模仿，则不太容易。不如仿写新概念3的文章。举例来说，新概念3第27课Nothing to sell and nothing to buy的第一段就是很典型的总分结构：It has been said that everyone lives by selling something. In the light of this statement, teachers live by selling knowledge, philosophers by selling wisdom and priests by selling spiritual comfort. Though it may be possible to measure the value of material goods in terms of money, it is extremely difficult to estimate the true value of the services which people perform for us. There are times when we would willingly give everything we possess to save our lives, yet we might grudge paying a surgeon a high fee for offering us precisely this service. The conditions of society are such that skills have to be paid for in the same way that goods are paid for at a shop. Everyone has something to sell. 除了段落模仿之外，整篇文章也可考虑模仿，如新概念3第47课Too high a price?中第一段：Pollution is the price we pay for an overpopulate, over industrialized planet. When you come to think about it, there are only four ways you can deal with rubbish: dump it, burn it, turn into something you can use again, attempt to produce less of it. We keep trying all four methods, but the sheer volume of rubbish we produce worldwide threatens to overwhelm us. 这个开头本身虽然不是总分结构，但是提到解决垃圾问题有四种方法，为全文做了概括。要写简单明了但有说服力的文章就该参考这样的写法。
