（一）掌握技巧：
　　
　　（1）注意篇章结构，合理布局
　　
　　开始部分（opening paragraph）——说出文中的要点、核心问题。
　　
　　正文部分（Body paragraphs）——围绕主题开展叙述、讨论。
　　
　　结尾部分（concluding paragraphs）——对全文的总结和概括。
　　
　　要做到全文中心突出、段落之间必须是有机地联系，内容完整、连贯。
　　　　
　　前后呼应，祛除与主题无关的内容.
　　
　 （2）确定主题句
　　
　　主题句是对全文的概括，是文章的主旨。它能在文章中起到“画龙点睛”的作用。通常主题句出现在一篇文章的开头，而后，全文对主题句所提出的内容进行解释，扩展。
　　
　　写主题句应注意以下几点：
　　
　　①归纳出你要写的文章的几个要点
　　
　　②提炼出一句具有概括性的话
　　
　　③主题句应具有可读性，抓住、吸引读者。
