第三節關鍵詞

　　作文關鍵詞作文是根據作文題目以及所給出的關鍵詞寫短文。關鍵詞的數目由幾個到十幾個不等。寫這種題型的作文，要特別注意關鍵詞的作用。關鍵詞是短文內容發展的“路標”，在作文思路和寫作內容上起著決定乾坤的作用。因此，寫出的文章要把所給的這些關鍵詞都用上，可以一句中用上幾個詞，也可以幾句中用上一個詞，只要能做到恰到好處即可。而且，要學會根據所給關鍵詞的語義群分段。如果所給的關鍵詞可以分為三組，那么，短文就可以寫成三段。如果給出的關鍵詞是兩組，短文就可以寫為兩段。再者，要把給出的關鍵詞用在刀刃上，即各段的主題句以及結尾的主題句都應該有關鍵詞。[例1]Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a passage on “The Advantages of Travel” based on the words and phrases given: advantages widen our knowledge, make friends, knowledge or geography,beautiful scenery, different lifestyle, customs and cultures, various foods,practice a foreign language,worth spending the time. [范文] The Advantages of TravelWhenever a college student is asked“What are you going to do this summer vacation?”the most probable answer might be“I am going to have a trip.”It seems that college students are fond of traveling very much. Why?Because travel has numerous advantages. First of all,travel can widen our knowledge of geography,the knowledge of different customs, cultures and lifestyles of different places and countries. Secondly, we can make friends and practice a foreign language through traveling. Finally, travel is the best way of spending time. We can enjoy eating various local foods and seeing beautiful scenery.In a word, we can benefit from travel in more than one way. It is worth spending the time.作者在第一段中就用上了關鍵詞travel和advantage，并很巧妙地利用Because travel has numerous advantages這樣的承上啟下的句子來引出下文關于旅游的種種好處。最后又把關鍵詞用在了文章的結尾處，強化了主題，不失為畫龍點睛之筆。[例2]Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a passage on“The Helpful Features of Textbooks” based on the following words given: textbooks, school, levels, kids, purpose, learn, therefore, features,information, contentsts,page, understand, divide, sections, finally, alphabetical, mast, help, quickly, efficiently. [范文] The Helpful Features of TextbooksTextbooks are books that students use in schools. Students at all levels and in all kinds of schools use textbooks. They have certain features in common—features that can help students find and understand the information in them. All textbooks have tables of contents at the beginning. The tables of contents list the chapter titles, the parts of the chapters,and the page numbers of the parts. These sections are divided again into smaller parts with headings and sub?headings. Finally, most textbooks have an index at the back of the book. The index lists all the topics in the book in alphabetical order, and gives their page numbers.These are the features of most textbooks, which help students find and understand the information in textbooks quickly and efficiently.

　　文章一開頭用定義法給教材下了個定義。接下來具體說明教材的主要特征。最后一段與第一段相呼應，并重復和強調了幾個關鍵詞中的關鍵詞，比如textbooks，information等。
