　　Focus on better writing skills

　　写学术文章，逻辑是关键

　　When it comes to academic writing, many Chinese students wonder how they can expand a single topic sentence into a well-organized passage.The solution lies in logical thinking - the key factor in deciding whether you can write as native English speakers write, and be understandable.

　　One of the most frequently used methods of logic reasoning is presenting causes and effects. It is often the case that Chinese students focus on facts instead of analysis(分析).

　　Suppose you are asked to write about a school regulation(规定) that says students aren’t allowed to bring mobile phones to the classroom. Aside from simply describing how students act when they have cellphones, you should focus on the causes why the school bans mobile phone use and the effects if students use mobile phones in school.

　　Generally speaking, mobile phone addiction is the major reason. It may be explained by a lack of self-discipline(自律) and parental supervision(监督), easy access(获得) to electronic devices, and the need for interpersonal communication. Take self-discipline for example. You may point out why students fail to concentrate on studying for even one single hour by giving an example of the physical and mental immaturity(心理不成熟) of teenagers, and cite(引用) scientific reports and statistics to support your statement.

　　As for the consequences of mobile phone addiction, you can easily write about effects such as lower studying efficiency, eyesight problems and decreasing interpersonal communication. And naturally, you will have to show how mobile phone addicts suffer from short-sightedness and are troubled by being unable to see the letters on the blackboard clearly. The same goes for grades and social networks. By explaining the damage(害处) cellphones do to students’ physical health and academic performance, you can successfully persuade readers to support your argument.

　　Correlation(相互关系) is the main part of logical thinking, and by linking certain issues with causes and effects, you may find it easier to explain your point of view in academic writing - and convince(说服) readers too.

　　文婷老师说：

　　把观点句扩展成段落的一大方法是运用逻辑推理，说明某一现象的前因后果，而非堆砌事实。以“学生上课是否可以带手机”为例，重点在于说明学校禁用手机的原因和学生使用手机的消极影响。禁用手机的主要原因在于学生使用手机成瘾，具体而言就是缺乏自律，青少年身心不成熟，自制力差，无法集中注意力。而手机的消极影响表现在学习效率低下、视力受损、人际关系恶化等方面。条理清晰地说明原因和后果才能阐释自己的观点并说服读者。如果想了解更多关相关信息，请关注启德考培长沙分校平台，免费获取备考提分解决方案，或欢迎 点击这里 进行网络咨询，我们会给您提供专业的服务。最后，预祝大家能在考试中取得理想中的成绩。
