以上几例都是文章的起首句，即全文的观点句。作者几乎没有做任何过度和铺设，鲜明直白，直抒胸臆，与汉语表达方式的迂回委婉大相径庭。这也应了这样一个道理：越简单，越深刻。

在议论文写作过程中，中国考生一般是将所有观点按序排列，若要转换话题时，多以but, however 等词过渡，略显单薄和单调。而以上两例不仅可以延展文章的长度，也具有视觉缓冲的效果，使阅卷人或读者能继续保持较高的注意力和兴趣度。
4利弊说明型
句型一
... has an ambivalence... it ... but ...
原文
▌The car has a curious ambivalence：it creates and then it destroys mobility. The car tempts people further out and then gives them the appalling problem of getting back.

汽车有着令人奇怪的自相矛盾：它创造了机动性，又亲自将其毁掉。汽车诱使人们更多地远行，然后又使他们面临如何返回的巨大难题。它使人们相信能在布莱顿度过周末，却无法在凌晨两点返回。
巧用
▌Women has a ambivalence when it comes to hunting for spouses: they hope that their future husband can be handsome. But they fear a handsome husband may attract too much attention and be seduced by other women.
女性择偶时有种矛盾心态：她们希望找个帅哥，又担心太帅的男人会吸引过多目光，并被别的女人勾走。

利弊说明是议论文中频繁采用的写作手段，其方式一般分为两种：一种是将优点和缺点分别罗列，构成比较的两大整块，即A, A, A…, B, B, B…型(A为优点，B为缺点，下同);另一种则是将优点、缺点交叉罗列，即上例使用的A，B，A，B…型。相对而言，后者条理更加清晰，读者更易理解。
5说明阐述型
句型一
... XX ... have been used for ... The former / first ... The latter / second ...
原文
▌Two main techniques have been used for training elephants, which we may call respectively the tough and the gentle.

驯象主要有两种方法，可分别称为强硬法和温柔法。简而言之，前一种方法就是让象干活，并把它打到顺从为止……温柔法在早期需要(驯象者)更大的耐心，但驯出的象心甘情愿，脾气好，会为主人忠心服务多年。

该例是说明文极为常见的类型，叙述时如果想使语言增加变化，可采用词汇替换等手段。另需注意：说明文宜多采用被动式，译成汉语时可考虑采用主动式。
