通过范文学习写作--比较模式

TWE很强调结构性,不仅是背一些过渡词和开头结束句型的问题,请仔细读下文然后总结"如何写比较模式的文章"
In the following paragraphs you will see various
conjunctions that contribute to paragraph coherence.
We can look at it to see how the conjunctions are
used:
My hometown and my college town have several things
in common. First, both are small rural communities.
For example, my hometown, Gridlock, has a population
of only about 10,000 people. Similarly, my college
town, Subnormal, consists of about 11,000 local
residents. This population swells to 15,000 people
when the college students are attending classes.
A second way in which these two towns are similar
is that they are both located in rural areas. Gridlock
is surrounded by many acres of farmland which is
devoted mainly to growing corn and soybeans. In
the same way, Subnormal lies in the center of farmland
which is used to raise hogs and cattle. Thirdly,
these towns are similar in that they contain college
campuses. Gridlock, for example, is home to Neutron
College, which is famous for its Agricultural Economics
program as well as for its annual Corn-Watching
Festival. Likewise, the town of Subnormal boasts
the beautiful campus of Quark College, which is
well known for its Agricultural Engineering department
and also for its yearly Hog-Calling Contest.
This paragraph, of
course, is organized according to similarities.
Notice how the ORDER of the similarities is the
same throughout the paragraph. That is, at each
similar point, the paragraph first discusses Gridlock
and then it discusses Subnormal. Keeping the same
order throughout the paragraph prevents the reader
from getting confused. Also notice how the conjunctions
(for example, similarly, and ...X are similar in
that...) are placed near each similar point. Now
examine the following paragraph, which is organized
by subtopic:
My hometown and my college town are similar in several
ways. First, my hometown, Gridlock, is a small town.
It has a population of only about 10,000 people.
Located in a rural area, Gridlock is surrounded
by many acres of farmland which are devoted mainly
to growing corn and soybeans. Gridlock also contains
a college campus, Neutron College, which is famous
for its Agricultural Economics program as well as
for its annual Corn-Watching Festival. As for my
college town, Subnormal, it too is small, having
a population of about 11,000 local residents, which
swells to 15,000 people when students from the nearby
college are attending classes. Like Gridlock, Subnormal
lies in the center of farmland which is used to
raise hogs and cattle. Finally, Subnormal is similar
to Gridlock in that it also boasts a beautiful college
campus, called Quark College. This college is well
known for its Agricultural Engineering department
and also for its yearly Hog-Calling Contest.
These are not the only
ways to give coherence to a comparison paragraph.
There are other conjunctions, too. Here is a list
of comparison conjunctions you can use:
