前言
When we were working hard on the first edition of this book, back in.lets just say it was some time ago, we felt we had a fresh way to approach the traditional way of teaching writing. That is, we would use a friendly, spoken style of writing and lots of straightforward examples——the kind students might actually write. And we would teach a way for students to bring structure to their writing that would work not just in school but beyond. Different approaches to writing have come and gone, havent they? And today, with the wonderful technology everywhere, a spoken style of writing and a clear structure are much in demand. Think about the Web. Most usability experts say good writing for the Web should be skimmable and whats more skimmable than having the main point up front for a paper? And then the main point at the beginning of each paragraph? And in school, teachers are suffering from information overload as much as anyone. Of course most of them appreciate a clear, straightforward approach to writing. So we believe The Practical Writer is right on target for todays students!

章节摘录
The one-paragraph essay is an essay in miniature. Its a little piece of writing, but it contains many of the fundamentals of much larger pieces of writing. For example: The one-paragraph essay has a clear, unmistakable structure. If thats good for something as small as a one-paragraph essay, think of how good that is for someone reading a 20-page paper! Or a book! The one-paragraph essay has good support. That is, the middle sentences help persuade the reader. Think of how important good support is for longer pieces of writing. The parts of the one-paragraph essay all have to go together well.We call that "unity." Again, thats also important for everything from a paragraph to a book. And readers should know clearly at all times where they are in your paragraph. For example, are they still reading the first part of your support or have they moved to the second part? You should use signals to let them know. Those signals (and other devices well show you) help produce "coherence." That,too, is extremely important not just in a paragraph but especially in larger pieces of writing.
