为什么有这么多名著被改编?要说清背后的理由，不是一件容易的事、准备动笔前，一定先列出几条理由来，然后对这些理由加以整合。范文从3个方面分析理由：首先，随着时代(技术)进步，一些新媒体应运而生，人们有一种通过这些新媒介了解传统经典的愿望，所以就会有名著的改编；最后，人们改编经典可以满足不同背景的人们的需要。

AnalySiS

[1]介绍名著改编热这种社会现象。

[2]具体说明改编的方式，㈩“电影、电视、网络游戏”为代表，内容具体，更有说服力。

[3]引导原因的常用句型。

[4][5]first，second引出不同理由的常用信号问，层次分明。

[4]从新媒介的山现说明改编之必要。

[5]从不同读者需要的角度说明名著改编之必要。

①审题及布局。这是一篇书信体作文，按照文章要求写一封申请信。申请信的写作应注意以下问题：语言简练，表达清晰，态度诚恳，要把自己想申请的对象、自身条件等信息准确表达出来，使读者一目了然。本题是申请成为保护长城项目的志愿者，整篇文章都应该让读者感觉到作者对长城的热爱而激发的对这一项目的向往之情。在布局上，根据题目中给出的提纲来展开即可。第一段介绍自己得知招聘信息的途径和心情；第二段说明想当这个项目志愿者的原因。第三段简单介绍个人的性格和爱好，志愿者一般都比较开朗、乐观、乐于助人，喜欢户外活动，可以从这些方面来介绍自己，最后要表明自己的愿望并希望得到回复。②语言。本文是一篇申请信，语言要热情洋溢，要让读者感觉到自己想参加公益活动的愿望和决心。词汇和句式选择要多样性，以增加文采。

3.TheImportanceofCreatingaHealthyInternet[1]WiththedevelopmentofoursocietyandeconomytheInternetbecomesanecessarytoolforeveryonetoobtaininformation.[2]HowevertherearealsosomeunhealthycontentsintTheImportanceofCreatingaHealthyInternet[1]Withthedevelopmentofoursocietyandeconomy,theInternetbecomesanecessarytoolforeveryonetoobtaininformation.[2]However,therearealsosomeunhealthycontentsint解析：作文标题是“创建健康网络环境的重要性”，这已经表明，写作的重点是说明“为什么要创建健康的网络环境”。但所给出的outline没有体现这一点。仅仅根据outline动笔，恐怕写不出好作文来。

提纲的第1点和第2点都址说背景，是为我们要论述的论点服务的；第3点指向“措施”，也与论点有关。但是，以这三点中的任何一条为中心，都有可能偏题。

那么该如何做这篇文章呢?不仅要把提纲中的内容纳入，而且还要特别沦述“创建健康网络环境的重要性”。要思考那么儿条“重要性”出来，才能有话可说，切合中心主旨。洲练从不同的角度考虑健康网络的重要忭，培养良好的思维能力，是写好此类作文的关键。

Analysis

[1]对应outline的第1条

[2]对应outline的第2条。如果不知道怎么用英浯表达“炒作”(drumbeating)，不说就是。反正仅仅是不良现象中的—个例子而已。

[3]主题句，对应作文标题。

[4][5][6]三条理由。健康的网络可以：预防网络犯罪：保护儿童不受不良信息的影响；方便我们更好地利用网络资源。(这部分可以八仙过海，各显神通)

[7]总结全文．照应outline的第3条。
