　　主题句要由概括性，扩展句要具体。主题句是起提示作用的，因此它要具备一定的概括性，不能太具体。而扩展句的功能是详细解释和论证，因此必须要具体。例如：Each program will focus on a particular friend who can be either a celebrity or an everyday person .这句话是说一个电视节目的特点：每次专注于一个人物，而这个人可能有名气，也可能知识一般人。这句话很具体，适合做扩展句。“Friend” is a very interesting talk show . 这句话就可以当主题句。这句话的意思很完整，但它没有说访谈节目为什么有意思。具体的原因应该用扩展句去说明。

　　主题句在多数情况下位于段落的开端，它开门见山地点出主题，使作者自始至终紧扣主题，也使读者一开始就能抓住整个段落的主题思想，比如：Drug use is so widespread that it is part of the daily life of almost every person . From birth to death , drugs ease our pain and suffering . For many , drugs serve such utilitarian purposes as keeping us awake , helping us sleep , or eliminating our stress .主题句说明药物的广泛使用是日常生活的一部分。随后的扩展句通过日常生活中人们使用药物的场合和情景—止痛、催眠、兴奋以及助兴娱乐—来证实主题句提出的论点。主题句也可以在句尾，其特点是可以帮助读者总结全段的内容，从而加深读者对段落内容的印象。We are constantly being spoken to , by teachers , salesmen , public officials , and motion picture sound tracks . The cries of advertisers pursue us into our very homes . Our daily papers amount to thirty to fifty pages of print . We visit bookstores and libraries in search of even more text . Words fill our lives .前面讲的是事实，是例证，最后才点名主题。按照这样的思路，我们用《新概念英语》第三册第12课《荒岛生活》来肢解一下2007年6月六级写作真题。

　　新三12课第一段

　　Most of us have formed an unrealistic picture of life on a desert island. (主题句)We sometimes imagine a desert island to be a sort of paradise where the sun always shines. (扩展句)Life there is simple and good. Ripe fruit falls from the trees and you never have to work.(支持句：用例子支撑观点。例子可以选择典故、名人名言等等) The other side of the picture is quite the opposite. (转折句：两个不同的观点之间需要用到转折)Life on a desert island is wretched.(对主题句的另一方面解释) You either starve to death or live like Robinson Crusoe, waiting for a boat which never comes. (支持句：用到了鲁宾逊克鲁索的例子)Perhaps there is an element of truth in both these pictures, but few us have had the opportunity to find out.(回头句：总结全文的句子，对观点进一步升华)

　　2007年6月6级写作真题
　　Should One Expect a Reward When Doing a Good Deed?
　　A great many people presume upon a reward when doing a good deed. (主题句)First and foremost, there is a natural tendency to equate doing good deeds with a certain amount of reward, and reward with a certain amount of money. What is more, they maintain that since the basis of contemporary society is money, one of the major means of earning money is getting reward by doing good deeds.(扩展句)

　　On the contrary,(转折句) the vast majority of people assume that doing a good deed should be based on people’s personal interests. (主题句)Hence, doing a good deed is fulfilling itself and reward is of minimal significance. Numerous examples can be given, but this will suffice.(扩展句) Mr. Leifeng(名人效应)lived a simple life dedicated to doing good deeds without expecting any reward and helping people from all walks of life, yet he was remembered as one of the most successful hero of our time.(支持句)

　　Generally speaking, it is my view that we should not expect a reward when doing a good deed. We do this for enjoyment, fulfillment and other spiritual enhancement, not for the purpose of reward.(回头句)

　　不难看出，同学们在备考四六级写作时只要方法得当、用词准确，得到一个理想的分数是很容易的。
