Experience th
Saturday Nov. 15, 2003 Cloudy
My teacher gave me an assignment "experience life" last week. I had been thinking how to finish it because I had never done any thing by myself before.
Mother was out today. It was a good chance to complete the assignment. Seeing the barrel was empty, I decided to fetch water from the well.
I took the empty barrel and went towards the well outside the yard. It snowed yesterday, so the alley was very slippery. A layer of thickice was frozen on the platform of the well. I was frightened by the sight, but I gathered my courage to walk towards it.
The alley was so slippery that I walked with difficultly. Suddenly, I slipped and fell down, water in the barrel totally poured down on the ground. I stepped on the platform carefully. After standing steadily and squatting down slowly, I hooked the barrel at the end of the rope and put the rope down slowly. I made an effort to drag the barrel up after it was filled with water. I was very careful because it was easy to slip and fall. Then, I carried the barrel of water and returned to my house. My figners were frozen stiff. I realized my effort was in vain. I hated myself.
I failed to finish the assignment but I did experience life through a trifle which seemed easy but difficult to do well. Such was my first experience of life.
2.英語議論文的結構一般較爲固定，通常包括以下三部分：
1. 在導語部分提出需要議論的議題;
2. 在正文部分對所提出的問題進行議論;
3. 在結論部分對以上的討論進行總結和歸納。
寫議論文要考慮論點，考慮用什麼作論據來證明，怎樣來論證，然後得出結論。它可以是先提出一個總論點，然後分別進行論述，分析各個分論點，最後得出結論;或者先引述一個故事，一段對話，或描寫一個場面，再一層一層地從事實中分析出道理，歸納引申出一個新的結論;也可以在文章開頭先提出一個人們關心的問題，然後一一作答，逐層深入;還可以把兩個不同事物以對立的'方式提出來加以比較、對照，然後得出結論。
在具體寫作中要注意下列幾點：
1. 議題的提出要開門見山，不要拖泥帶水。
2. 議論時可以採用不同的方法。如：可以擺出正反兩方面觀點，進行對比;也可引經據典論證作者自己觀點的正確性，從而使讀者接受自己的觀點;亦可提出一種錯誤的觀點然後論證其錯誤，最終提出正確的觀點。正文部分是寫作的重點，論證方法可用歸納法、推理法、比較法等。
3. 在結論部分必須表明作者的觀點，對討論的問題做出總結。
4. 注意連接詞和過渡詞等詞語的使用，以增強文章的條理性和邏輯性。常用的過渡詞和連接詞包括：first, second, third, finally, in addition, furthermore, besides, what was worse, more importantly, in contrast, because, since, now that, therefore，consequently，in that case, as a result/consequence, in conclusion, to sum up等等。
請看下面的範文：
Shall we send children to study abroad?
With more and more people becoming rich in recent years, it is a new tendency for them to send their children to study abroad. But I don’t think it is a good idea. First of all, children are too young to look after themselves. Second, the language barrier is a serious problem. Many children are not proficient in the foreign language before going abroad. As a result, they have difficulty in understanding what the native speakers are talking about. Third, they may get into trouble when dealing with various situations for lack of knowledge of the customs in the strange land. Furthermore, the cost of living is much higher than that in our country, which might cause a heavy burden to the family.
In conclusion, there are more disadvantages in sending children to study abroad. So, we’d better not do it.
