But don’t dwell on the reason. Coax the reader a little more; keep him inquisitive.
But take special care with the last sentence of each paragraph—it’s the crucial springboard to the next paragraph.升華主題
這一章主要講了開頭和結(jié)尾氓鄙,從前面章節(jié)的開頭和結(jié)尾就可以看出每一章開頭都是總起,結(jié)尾升華业舍。在第七章usage抖拦,結(jié)尾說出了開頭的疑問what is good usage升酣。看這章讓我想起高中寫作文态罪,寫議論文時(shí)要總起段落噩茄,最好在第一段末尾留下個(gè)懸念。作者說了開頭要哄騙讀者复颈,可以用新鮮感绩聘,新穎、自相矛盾券膀、幽默或者驚喜君纫、不尋常的想法和事實(shí),甚至懸念芹彬。
