本节重点为：如何写“观点支撑型段落”？
当然学习之前，我们得先了解什么是段落？
段落是形成文章的砖石。
许多学生以长度来定义一个段落：
段落就是至少五个句子，一个段落要半版的长度等等。
但实际上，决定段落的是句子间的统一性和连贯性。
最终来看，一个段落就是支撑一个观点的一个句子或一组句子。
也就是说，必须有一个“统领观点”来统领一个段落中其他的句子。
这个观点也就是你想传达给你的读者的那个最重要的观点。
每个段落的信息都必须与此观点相关联。
接下来的问题是：什么是一个好的段落？
每个好段落都应该：观点统一：
每一个段落的所有句子都必须围绕一个统领观点（这个观点往往会在每段的中心句中加以表达）。
句子之间有关联。
连贯性：
所有句子都必须有逻辑性地加以合理安排并以明确的发展模式展开。
展开充分：
每个段落中讨论的观点都应得到充分解释和合理支持，要有理有据，充分展开统领观点。
在Text A中，我们找到一个很好的例子。第四段是这样展开的：
正如所见到的那样，这个段落观点统一，表达对lobola的支持，段落里所有的句子都围绕这个观点展开，这个段落既有连贯性，也展开充分。
因此，我们如何书写一个观点支撑型段落呢？
诀窍如下：
1. 一定要想清楚该段的统领观点是什么。
2. 确保写作时要有充足的论证，能充分展开段落。
3. 确保书所有句子和词汇都围绕统领观点展开。
在这一段里，前两句话是对lobola的支持，点出本段的统领观点。
它们是引入句。
接下来第三句话开始从支持方的角度解释lobola的含义，是解释句。
第四第五句话继续解释支持方观点，是澄清句。
最后一句话是本段的收尾句，可以再次强调核心观点，也可以继续补充解释说明。
所有这些句子一起只能围绕一个统领观点，那就是：Lobola是传统，不能轻易抛弃。
按照这样的段落模式，可以很容易写出其它观点支撑型段落。
请看此例：
显然这个段落表示的是对移民的支持性观点。
再举例来看。
写支持“社交网站”的段落时，也可以模仿支持观点型段落模式。
学完以后，是否有反思？
为什么不和同学朋友讨论看看？现在就开始你的写作吧！
