简单小妙招让你的英文写作变得美观、专业、条理清晰

很多人在写英文文章的时候往往只把注意力放在最基本的语法和词汇上，这样做的结果就是，虽然可能这两个方面没有太大问题，可是整篇文章给人的印象却还是很杂乱，条理不够清晰，甚至有些部分是偏离文章主题的。那么怎样才能做到条理清晰，内容紧扣主题呢？其实很简单。EWIS在帮很多顾客修改文章的时候很常用的一个方法就是在适当的位置加上一个小标题。这个方法非常有效，特别是当文章比较长的时候。小标题不仅能够明确地告诉读者你接下来整个部分将要写什么，还能够帮助写作的人在检查的时候更方便地找到偏离主题的内容。不仅如此，从格式上来看，小标题更是能够使整篇文章显得美观、大方和专业。例如在写“Why Does Globalization Make the Environment Worse?”这么一个题目的时候，写作的人决定从pollution, resources abuse还有overdevelopment这三个方面来讨论，那么整篇文章的结构就可以是：

Why Does Globalization Make the Environment Worse?（文章题目-居中）

Globalization has brought about many changes topeople’s lives. A part of these changes are good, because the world has become more accessible and our lives are made easier. However, globalization has also caused some negative effects. One of the unpleasant impacts is that our environment has become worse with globalization. In my grandfather’s time, the sky was always blue, and the air was really fresh. There was very little pollution at that time. However, things have become different in today’ssociety. As a result of globalization, pollution, abusive use of naturalresources, and overdevelopment have become the three main reasons that harm the environment. （为文章做铺垫和概括性的讨论，并开门见山表明自己的观点，告诉读者接下来将会读到的内容）

Pollution （2级小标题-居中-加粗）

The world is being more seriously polluted every day. With the development of globalization, more factories have been built to meet the ever-increasing needs of merchandise. (… …) （在这部分集中讨论globalization进程中给环境造成的污染，并给出相关案例）

Resources Abuse（2级小标题-居中-加粗）

Abusive use of natural resources is another big threat for the environment. (… …) （在这个部分集中讨论在全球化进程中人们对自然资源的滥用，并列出相关案例）

Overdevelopment （2级小标题-居中-加粗）

Overdevelopment is a third important cause of environmental issues. (… …) （在这个部分集中讨论在全球化进程中过度开发的现象及后果，并列出相关案例）

Conclusion （2级小标题-居中-加粗）

Admittedly, globalization has brought to us many benefits and made our lives more convenient. However, the three issues discussed in this paper have created many environmental problems and challenges for this great movement. It cannot be emphasized enough that a good environment is our future; it is the foundation for human beings to survive and prosper. I believe globalization will become better if we have a better living environment and sustainable resources, and all nations in this world should work hand-in-hand to achieve this goal.

（注：这个例子使用的是APA格式）

怎么样，是不是整篇文章看起来清爽了很多？当然，如果文章字数要求不多的话，我们不一定要用这些2级小标题，只需要每个部分分段来写就好了。但是需要注意的是在每段的开头我们都需要有一个topic sentence，告知读者本段的大致内容。
