英语专业四级写作开头技巧

1． 开头技巧一：名人名言

开头引用名人不仅能够作为很好的切入点展开话题，而且还能够显示考生深厚的英语功底。可能有的考生会疑惑：“我没有记住名言，怎么办？尤其是英语名言？” 一般来说，引用名人名言不一定要记住每个单词才行。如果考生能够记住大致的内容，也可以引用。引用名人名言的经典句型：

A proverb says, “you are only young once.” （适用于已记住的名言）

It goes without saying that we cannot be young forever. （适用于只记住大致意思的名言）

更多经典句型：As everyone knows, no one can deny that


2． 开头技巧二：数字统计

要想使自己的论证更有说服力，就应该用实际的数字来说明。原则上在议论文当中十不应该出现虚假数字的，可是在考试考生只需要记住一个大概得数据即可。所以不妨试用下面的句型：

Ａccording to a recent survey, about 78.9％ of the college students wanted to further their study after their graduation.

更多句型：

A recent statistics shows that
