實(shí)用寫作

前言

　　When we were working hard on the first edition of this book， back in.lets just say it was some time ago， we felt we had a fresh way to approach the traditional way of teaching writing. That is， we would use a friendly， spoken style of writing and lots of straightforward examples——the kind students might actually write. And we would teach a way for students to bring structure to their writing that would work not just in school but beyond.　　Different approaches to writing have come and gone， havent they? And today， with the wonderful technology everywhere， a spoken style of writing and a clear structure are much in demand. Think about the Web. Most usability experts say good writing for the Web should be skimmable and whats more skimmable than having the main point up front for a paper? And then the main point at the beginning of each paragraph?　　And in school， teachers are suffering from information overload as much as anyone. Of course most of them appreciate a clear， straightforward approach to writing. So we believe The Practical Writer is right on target for todays students!

內(nèi)容概要

《實(shí)用寫作》已再版9次，得到各國寫作方面專家的普遍認(rèn)可。本書面向?qū)懽鞯某鯇W(xué)者，從一段式短文到五段式短文，再到學(xué)術(shù)論文，循序漸進(jìn)地講授如何寫作。本書內(nèi)容豐富，簡單易懂，所介紹的寫作策略可以被應(yīng)用在多種文體中，具有極強(qiáng)的實(shí)用性。此外，標(biāo)點(diǎn)和表達(dá)部分更是學(xué)生必備的英語寫作知識。同時，根據(jù)當(dāng)代大學(xué)生的需求，書中還加入了邊注、練習(xí)和例文。    本書突破了傳統(tǒng)的寫作教學(xué)方式，突出口語化寫作，讓學(xué)生掌握清晰的寫作結(jié)構(gòu)，并練習(xí)寫作個人的經(jīng)歷和熟知的人或物，目的是為了讓寫作豐富多彩，充滿樂趣，更重要的是讓學(xué)生用獨(dú)特的視角來學(xué)習(xí)寫作。作者文筆流暢，避免使用大量的學(xué)術(shù)化語言，如同在課堂上與學(xué)生親切交談，大大拉近了與讀者之間的距離。引用作者的話說：“我們所講的寫作模式，不是寫作的目的，而是對寫作的指導(dǎo)。”

章節(jié)摘錄

　　The one-paragraph essay is an essay in miniature. Its a little piece of writing,　　but it contains many of the fundamentals of much larger pieces of writing.　　For example:　　The one-paragraph essay has a clear, unmistakable structure. If thats good for something as small as a one-paragraph essay, think of how good that is for someone reading a 20-page paper! Or a book!　　The one-paragraph essay has good support. That is, the middle sentences help persuade the reader. Think of how important good support is for longer pieces of writing.　　The parts of the one-paragraph essay all have to go together well.We call that "unity." Again, thats also important for everything from a paragraph to a book.　　And readers should know clearly at all times where they are in your paragraph. For example, are they still reading the first part of your support or have they moved to the second part? You should use signals to let them know. Those signals (and other devices well show you) help produce "coherence." That,too, is extremely important not just in a paragraph but especially in larger pieces of writing.
