如何展开你的文章是英文写作必不可少的一步。如果不了解展开文章的技巧和方法，你的写作可能会是一篇糟糕透顶的、令读者大跌胃口的、不能称之为文章的文章。读完下面的tips，也许你会有所感悟。
I. Writing down ideas
As you begin to plan your writing, you may already have some ideas concerned with points you wish to write. Write them down on a sheet of paper or card as they come to you.
As you continue to study your subject, be sure to add further ideas and information. Your finished list might look something like this:
Topic: The School Library
Ideas:
1. a very well designed modern building
2. a large number of useful books
3. bright and quiet reading rooms
4. patient and helpful librarians...
II. Building a thesis sentence
Having completed your list of ideas, your next step is to build a thesis sentence by organizing those ideas in relation to each other, because while planning writing, you must make certain that you have a central idea in your mind. Such a central idea is called a thesis sentence.
As a thesis sentence indicates the central idea that you will develop in your paper, you should use only one in the writing.
You need not always express a thesis sentence in the paper itself, although you should clearly control the development of any writing that requires one. If you do use such a statement, it had better appear in the very first paragraph. Why? Because it works for the entire writing in the way a topic sentence does in a paragraph. It tells the readers of your paper what the "big idea" is-and also helps you keep on track in developing that idea.
Take your writing with the topic "The School Library" for example.
From our study of the school library we have got two possible thesis sentences:
1. The library is a nice place to study in.
2. The library plays an important part in both teaching and students' study and life.
III. Making an outline
One useful way of planning a piece of writing is a formal outline. An outline is an organized list of related items of ideas. Some people object to outlining. They believe that preparing a formal outline steals valuable time from actual writing and that an outline acts as a brake on the free flow of their ideas. Both objections make some sense. But time spent on an outline will be more than repaid when one begins to write. Also, few of us always think logically. So the final step in organizing your ideas is to make an outline.
Take your writing with the topic "The School Library" for example.
Topic: The School Library
Thesis: The school library plays an important part in both teaching and students' study and life.
Outline:
1. There are bright and quiet reading rooms in the library, so students can study and read in them.
2. Students borrow books from the library when they need reference books for their studies.
3. The library provides students with a large number of useful books
