短句放在段首或者段末，可以揭示主題：

　　As a creature, I eat; as a man, I read. Although one action is to meet the primary need of my body and the other is to satisfy the intellectual need of mind, they are in a way quite similar.

　　強烈建議：在文章第一段用一長一短開頭；在文章主體部分，要先用一個短句介紹主要意思，然后在闡述幾個要點的時候采用先短后長的句群形式；文章結尾一般用一長一短就可以了。

　　二、 主題句原則

　　三、 一 二 三原則

　　1)in the first place, in the second place, lastly

　　2)to begin with, furthermore, finally

　　3)to start with, in addition, finally

　　4)first and foremost, besides, last but not least

　　5)for one thing, for another thing(適用于兩點的情況)

　　四、 短語優先原則

　　兩個好處：其一、用短語會使文章增加亮點；其二、湊字數

　　I cannot bear it.可以用短語表達：I cannot put up with it.

　　I want it.可以用短語表達：I am looking forward to it.

　　五、 多實少虛原則

　　一定要多用實詞，少用虛詞(比較大的詞)。good, nice空洞，generous, humorous, smart, gentle, warm-hearted, hospitable形象。再比如：走出房間空洞的詞是：walk out of the room

　　但是

　　小偷走出房間應該說：slip/sneak out of the room

　　小姐走出房間應該說：sail out of the room

　　小孩走出房間應該說：dance out of the room

　　老人走出房間應該說：stagger out of the room

　　六、 多變句式原則

　　1)加法(串聯)

　　2)轉折(拐彎抹角)

　　3)因果

　　4)失衡句(頭重腳輕，或者頭輕腳重)

　　5)附加(多此一舉)

　　Ms. Pan, an English teacher who has taught us for three semesters, is easy-going.

　　6)排比(排山倒海句)

　　一個個排比句，一個個對偶句，一個個不定式，一個個短語，使文章有排山倒海之勢！

　　Whether your tastes are modern or traditional, sophisticated or simple, there is plenty in London for you.

　　Nowadays, energy can be obtained through various sources such as oil, coal, natural gas, solar heat, wind and ocean tides.
