三、写作清单
【点拨·写作技巧】
1. 明确写作类型与目的:Unit 3 “Paying the Price”的写作常围绕环境问题、社会现象、代价与收获等主题,可能涉及议论文、书信、报告等文体。写议论文时,目的是清晰阐述观点,如探讨“经济发展与环境保护的平衡”,要明确表明立场,通过有力论证使读者信服。若是写书信,像给环保组织的建议信,需语言诚恳,明确表达建议内容和期望回复。
2. 构建清晰的文章结构:
◦ 议论文:采用“总-分-总”结构。开头提出主题和论点,如“Nowadays, the issue of environmental protection has become a hot - button topic. It is undeniable that economic development is important, but we should not sacrifice the environment at the expense of short - term economic gains” 。中间分点论述,用“firstly...secondly...lastly”等连接词,如“Firstly, environmental damage has a direct impact on our daily lives. The increasing air pollution, for example, leads to more respiratory diseases. Secondly, a healthy environment is the foundation for sustainable economic development in the long run. Without clean water and fertile soil, industries related to agriculture and tourism will be severely affected” 。结尾总结论点,提出呼吁或展望,“In conclusion, we must strike a balance between economic development and environmental protection. Only in this way can we ensure a better future for ourselves and the next generations” 。
◦ 书信:开头称呼和问候,表明写信目的 ,如“Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to offer some suggestions regarding the environmental protection work in our community” 。中间主体部分详细阐述内容,如建议组织环保活动、设置垃圾分类设施等。结尾表达期待回复,“I look forward to your favorable reply. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]” 。
3. 运用有力的论证和实例:在议论文中,为支撑观点,可运用多种论证方法。举例论证能使观点更具体,如论述科技发展带来的负面影响时,“The over - reliance on smartphones is a case in point. Many people are so addicted to their phones that they neglect face - to - face communication, which has a negative impact on their social relationships” 。对比论证突出差异,“In some developed countries, strict environmental protection policies have been implemented, and as a result, the ecological environment has been greatly improved. In contrast, some developing countries, driven by rapid economic growth, have ignored environmental protection, leading to serious pollution problems” 。还可引用数据增强说服力,“According to a recent survey, about 80% of the rivers in this area are polluted to some extent due to industrial waste discharge” 。
4. 丰富语言表达:
◦ 词汇:积累与主题相关的高级词汇,如用“deteriorate”(恶化)代替“become worse”,“mitigate”(减轻)代替“reduce”,“sustainable”(可持续的)、“ecological”(生态的)等。
◦ 句式:使用多样化句式提升文章档次。运用定语从句,“The factory, which discharges a large amount of untreated waste water into the river, has caused serious water pollution” ;状语从句,“If we do not take immediate actions to protect the environment, the consequences will be disastrous” ;倒装句,“Not only does environmental protection benefit our current lives, but it also secures the future of our descendants” 。
5. 检查与修改:完成初稿后,仔细检查语法错误,包括主谓一致(The problem is/are... )、时态一致(讲述过去事件用一般过去时,阐述普遍事实用一般现在时)、词性误用(形容词和副词混淆等)。检查词汇拼写,注意一些易混淆词汇,如“affect”(影响,动词)和“effect”(影响,名词) 。同时,检查逻辑连贯性,确保段落之间过渡自然,连接词使用恰当,如“however”“therefore”“moreover”等 。
【积累·写作素材】
1. 词汇:
◦ 环境相关:pollution(污染),pollutant(污染物),deforestation(森林砍伐),recycle(回收利用),ecosystem(生态系统),habitat(栖息地)
◦ 社会现象相关:addiction(上瘾),isolation(孤立),urbanization(城市化),inequality(不平等),phenomenon(现象)
◦ 表达影响:impact(影响),influence(影响),affect(影响),consequence(后果),ramification(衍生物,结果)
2. 短语:
◦ 付出代价:pay the price,bear the cost
◦ 导致:lead to,result in,contribute to,give rise to
◦ 采取措施:take measures/actions/steps to do
◦ 关注:pay attention to,attach importance to,focus on
◦ 与……相关:be related to,be associated with,be linked to
3. 句式:
◦ It is + adj. + that...:It is urgent that we take immediate actions to address the environmental issues(我们迫切需要立即采取行动解决环境问题) 。
◦ There is no doubt that...:There is no doubt that the overuse of plastic products has caused serious environmental pollution(毫无疑问,塑料制品的过度使用已经造成了严重的环境污染) 。
◦ The reason why... is that...:The reason why we should protect the environment is that it is essential for our survival and well - being(我们应该保护环境的原因是它对我们的生存和福祉至关重要) 。

5. 检查与修改:完成初稿后,仔细检查语法错误,包括主谓一致(The problem is/are... )、时态一致(讲述过去事件用一般过去时,阐述普遍事实用一般现在时)、词性误用(形容词和副词混淆等)。检查词汇拼写,注意一些易混淆词汇,如“affect”(影响,动词)和“effect”(影响,名词) 。同时,检查逻辑连贯性,确保段落之间过渡自然,连接词使用恰当,如“however”“therefore”“moreover”等 。

【示例·分步写作】
例题:Write an essay on the topic “The Price We Pay for Technological Advancements”. You should discuss the positive and negative aspects of technological advancements and express your own views.(写一篇关于“我们为技术进步付出的代价”的文章。你应该讨论技术进步的积极和消极方面,并表达自己的观点。)
【答案】
写作思路:
1. 开头:引出话题,表明技术进步是把双刃剑 。“In modern society, technological advancements have brought about profound changes in every aspect of our lives. Undoubtedly, they have brought us numerous benefits, but at the same time, we are also paying a certain price for this progress” 。
2. 中间 - 积极方面:列举技术进步的好处 。“Firstly, in the field of communication, the invention of the Internet and mobile phones has made it possible for people to connect with each other instantly across the globe. For instance, video conferencing allows business people to hold meetings remotely, saving a great deal of time and cost. Secondly, in the medical field, advanced technologies have led to the development of new drugs and treatment methods, which have significantly improved people's health and life expectancy. The discovery of vaccines against various diseases is a remarkable example” 。
3. 中间 - 消极方面:阐述技术进步带来的问题 。“However, technological advancements also have their dark sides. One of the most obvious problems is the environmental pollution caused by industrial production. The large - scale use of fossil fuels in factories and vehicles, which is a result of technological development, releases a huge amount of greenhouse gases, contributing to global warming. Moreover, the over - reliance on technology has led to a decline in some traditional skills and cultural heritages. For example, with the popularity of typing on keyboards, many people's handwriting skills have deteriorated” 。
4. 结尾:总结观点,提出建议 。“In conclusion, while technological advancements have brought us great convenience and progress, we cannot ignore the price we pay. We should make efforts to minimize the negative impacts, such as promoting clean energy and protecting traditional cultures. Only in this way can we ensure that technology serves us better without sacrificing our environment and cultural roots” 。
详解:开头简洁点明主题,说明技术进步有正负两面。中间部分条理清晰,用“firstly...secondly”阐述积极方面,通过具体例子增强说服力;用“however”转折,论述消极方面,从环境和文化角度分析。结尾总结全文,提出应对建议,使文章结构完整,逻辑连贯,符合议论文写作要求 。
