Fast-reading
Read the text quickly to get the main idea of each paragraph.
Tip: You can find main ideas by first taking a quick look at the title, pictures, key words and phrases, and topic sentences.
A topic sentence is a sentence which summarizes the main idea of a paragraph.
Example 1
“开门见山”式是指文章在开头的时候常常就开门见山,一针见血的点明想要表达的主要内容,然后再进行细节补充.
I need to prepare many things for an enjoyable mountain climbing. A bottle of water is essential in case of thirsty. When I am cold, I need a sweater, too. Of course foods and drinks are my favorite things. Finally I'm going to take an umbrella.
Example 2
“言归正传”式是指文章在开头并没有给出一个总揽段落的topic sentence来引导脉络的展开,而是在开头的时候在渲染或铺垫一些其他细节的东西,在段落最后给出概括全文的总结。
As we all know, we begin to live and study by ourselves in college. In addition, we can also learn to be independent of our parents. It is in college that we, like Newton, are searching for beautiful shells on the beach of knowledge. Therefore, college life is an important stage so that we should cherish it and make the most of it.
Example 3
“重心转折”式,就是段落在开头的时候,介绍某事物或人的一方面比如消极方面,而中间部分则通过however 之类的转折词,将段落的内容倾向扭转了,进而来说其他方面,比如积极方面。这时段落的重点则在后半部分了。
Admittedly, many parents, especially elder grandparents cannot catch up with the new era under the fast-paced circumstance. They do not know how to use mobile phone, computer and Ipad. However,they have precious life experience that is every useful for us. And they have a deeper understanding of the society and life. We should learn from our parents.
Example 4
“全篇总结”式就是指要想获得这个段落的主旨大意,我们不能通过一个比较明显或首句或尾句或中间转折来get 到topic sentence, 从而抓住大意。也就是说,段落内没有明显的topic sentence。这时就需要我们通过阅读全文,抓住文章写作的线索,总结出段落大意。
I got up at 7 o 'clock this morning, and after breakfast I went to school. At 8:00am-9:30am, t took my first class, that is, English class which is my favorite subject. Then I went to the library to see some books with my friends until hunch time. In the afternoon, I took an examination.
