[2]是第1句的支持句。

[3]常用来引导不同观点的句型。

[4][6]分别用Advocates和opponents引出不同的观点.中间用however

连接，结构严谨.过渡自然。

[5][7]Furthermore,Besides等都是用来附加说明理由的，层次分明。一

般来说，对于文章的分论点，都应给出相关的支持性论据，这些论据之

间.要注意用适当的关联词。

[8]Inmyopinion常用来提出自己的看法。

[9]套用英语谚语，使语言活泼生动。

[写作指南]

本题是典型的“描述现象——分析现象——得出结论”式六级作文。作文

结构如下：

第一段简要描述现象，说明大学生在学习、生活中都离不开网络。

第二段分析网络对大学生的影响，既有有利的一面（快速了解最新社会、

生活以及科技信息；使学生的人际交往突破时间、空间的局限等），也有

不利的一面（过于沉迷网络，忽视了生活中的人际交往，•对网络的不正当

使用，接触过多有害信息，对身心健康无益）。

第三段提出自己的看法，即，作为一种科技产品，大学生必须善于利用

网络丰富自己的生活，提高学习效率，而不是被网络所控制，成为网络

的奴隶。

5.Self-helpTravelingofCollegeStudents[1]Whencollegestudentsplana

journeytheyusuallypreferself-helptravelingtothetourarrangedbyatravel

agency.[2]TherearesomereasonsforcollegestudentschoosingSelf-help

TravelingofCollegeStudents[1]Whencollegestudentsplanajourney,they

usuallypreferself-helptravelingtothetourarrangedbyatravelagency.[2]

Therearesomereasonsforcollegestudentschoosing解析：本文是“现象-

原因分析-自己的看法”类作文。对于大学生自助游的原因分析是本作文

的难点。范文给出厂三个方面的原因：自助游省钱；更有趣；更自由。

对于每一个原因，范文也都户以扩展，都是“主题+扩展”的结构。读者在

自己写作时，重点也是要训练自己分析问题的能力。大学生选择自助游,

还有别的原因吗?如何用英语表达出来?比如：自助游更有挑战性；通过

自助游，可以培养学生自己的策划能力；可以拥有个性化的旅游线路,

得到其他游客没有过的经历；等等。说到“我的看法”，可以表示支持,

也町以表示部分支持，甚至可以表示反对。无论是什么态度和看法，都

应该给出理由——即使是对第二段提到的理由总结一下也可以。

[1]介绍现象，以outline第1点为依据。

[2]用以引出原因的常用句型。

[3][5][7]onereason...anotherreason...thethirdreason…层次分明。

[4]对[3]加以扩展，⑹对[5]加以扩展。⑷和[6]使用不同的句子结构,

使句式富于变化。

[7]同样是prefer,本句用prefer...ratherthan,与[1]的prefer...to有同有

异。

［8］提出自助游是goodchoice的看法。

［9］对［8］给予支持，也是前面一段话的小结。
