少的工具。此类典型句有...isoneofthemostpowerfultools…还有Itis

widelyacknowledgedthat...第一段可以用however转折过渡，弓［出这种

现象的利与弊。文章主体部分也可以用despite表示转折，注意despite

后接that从句，indespiteof后接sth.在陈述利弊时可用的句型有this

phenomenonshows...或tostartwith...,inthesecondplace...文章最后可

用表总结的短语inconclusion,类似表达还有inbrief,allinall或asa

result…等。
