章节摘录

　　Exercise 9　　Summarize the text in no less than 4 and no more than 6 sentences.　　Exercise 10　　In order to explain an idea effectively,it is often necessary, to introduce a consequence or possible result. Expressions that are commonly used to do this include "therefore," "as a result,"and "otherwise. " These will also improve the communicative quality of your essay. Take a look at the following sentences:　　1. Today is a holiday. Therefore,we will not have class until tomorrow.　　2. When I heard the word　hero I thought of somebody who is extraordinarily strong or intelligent. As a result, I didnt believe that I too could do something heroic.　　3. We must not allow our expectations to become too great. Otherwise, we could get disappointed.　　Notice that the expressions "therefore" and "as a result," which are usually followed by a comma, express a result or consequence that has already happened or is happening right now. "Otherwise," on the other hand, expresses something that might happen in the future.Exercise : Insert the sentence connectors "therefore ," "as a result," and "otherwise" into the following paragraph.　　Over the course of the past ten years the consumption of junk food such as hamburgers and pizza has increased steadily. People have put on more and more weight. In fact, this is particularly true for teenagers and children who crave candy and sweets. Nutritionists, the scientists who study the different effects of food on the human body, are urging everybody to eat more healthy foodss. The average person will be dangerously overweight——unless a miracle happens,of course.
