寫英文作文時,每段的主題句是很重要的,最好第一句就是主題句,使讀者一目了然,知道這一段的主旨。不妨比較以下兩個小段落:
Dear Etta,
Thank you for giving me this sentence in response to my blog entry about the crash of this blog service system:
"Whenever you make up your mind, let me assist you."
You've always been so supportive. Thanks a bunch!
This evening, I attended Class 306's party with their homeroom teacher and math teacher. I enjoyed seeing the students having fun. Of course, we teachers had fun, too.
Though they didn't play any games, there was no moment without laughter. What's more, they came over to us teachers group by group to toast to us and express their gratitude. (They drank juice, not alcohol. So I believe they were completely sober.) I was quite moved. Though I taught them for only about 2 months, they treated me as if I had taught them for two years. Thank you, Class 306.

In fact, I didn't throw the water balloons at students; instead, I squeezed theballoons over their head to make them burst so that the water wet the students.

This is a handout on the participial clause.
In fact, English is not as difficult as it appears. The most important part in a sentence is the verb. What comes before the verb, the so-called subject, is the topic of the sentence. And the part following the subject and beginning with the verb tells something about the topic. Thus, each sentence has only one verb, unless there is a conjuction to connect two clauses, each of which contains its own subject and verb, with the second subject sometimes deleted if it is the same as the first one. So if a simple sentence already has a verb, no other verbs are allowed. We use participles or infinitives.
By the way, to understand a sentence, the most important thing is to find the verb.

Dear Miss Hung,
Well, if you want to know what's on the Mother Day's card, come to my office and you can read it.
In fact, you missed something more important. Your classmates said something good about you. When I told them how good your class was to turn off the lights right after the fourth class was dismissed in order to save electricity, they gave all the credit to you. They told me that it was you who always remembered to do it. Marvelous! You're going green.

In today's class, we discussed Unit 7 "Shopping for Souvenirs in Taiwan." Ben said it was an interesting lesson. Students like to read something which is very related to their life, something they are familiar with, something which is happening here and now.
Among the popular souvenirs sold in Taiwan which the writer suggested are name chops, traditional tea sets, delicate handheld fans, hand-paitned oil-paper umbrella, custom-made banners with Chinese calligraphy on them, CDs of Taiwan's roots music, bamboo products, waterproof hats and raincoats made of grass and bamboo fiber, and anything with Chinese characters on it, such a T-shirt. To my surprise, Taiwanese liquor and traditional Chinese-style clothing are described as improper things to give as souvenirs.
The following are some compositions written recently by my students in Class 306.
Breakfast and I
1.
Every day before I go to school, my mom has prepared breakfast for me. She is a superb cook. She can always come up with innovative ideas in making breakfast so that I can have delicious food in the morning. Besides, I always enjoy having a good breakfast with my family. While savoring each bite, we chat about something happening around us and watch the latest news on TV.
Breakfast is really important for me. It can make me full of energy all the morning. Thus, I don't sleep in class. What's more, it can let me have a wonderful dream at night. Although I don't know why, it really happens to me. Having breakfast really has a great influence on me. (122 words)
Today Max came to talk to my classes. He talked to Classes 306 and 316 in the 1st session at Lecture Room I and to Class 314 in the 2nd session in their classroom. Without a doubt, he is an eloquent speaker. Not only my students but also I were deeply attracted to him. And he very generously put his PowerPoint on his blog. Here it is.
