②從陳述現象轉到思考原因：Lookingat…wecan'thelpwondering…從現象轉入評論；whatisbehind…屬于高分短語。

③分析”畢婚”原因之一：殘酷的就業競爭使雙方相互扶持。也能得到雙方家長資助。

④分析“畢婚”原因之二：畢婚族比網戀、拜金戀有感情基礎。thereisnodenyingthat…isamajorfactor及make…amore…choice為加分搭配。

⑤轉入剖析，干脆利落。“畢婚”也可能埋下了不能擔當婚后責任的隱患。句型Chancesarethat…以及詞匯bumpinginto，undermine都是高分之選。

⑥以Allinall，Idon'tthinkit'sagoodideato…澄明自己觀點，結構完整。

6.[I]Remedialexaminationispartofcollegeeducation.[2]Mostcollegesallowatleastoneremedialexaminationonsomesubjectsforeverystudentinordertosecurehigherratesofgraduation.[3]Remedialexaminationhasitsadvantages.[4][I]Remedialexaminationispartofcollegeeducation.[2]Mostcollegesallowatleastoneremedialexaminationonsomesubjectsforeverystudentinordertosecurehigherratesofgraduation.[3]Remedialexaminationhasitsadvantages.[4]解析：作文題目是“論補考”，從outline來看，把“補考的利與弊”作為寫作的重點可能更容易把握(有誰認為自己討論“如何發揮補考的作用”更有心得的?)。“補考”作為一種教育手段，有什么作用呢?首先，學生會因為事假、病假等原因錯過考試，補考是他們獲得相應成績和學分的必要措施。其次，應當承認，任何考試的信度、效度都不是完美的，學生不及格有可能是一時失誤所致，而不一定是水平不夠，補考就給了他們一次重新證明自己的機會。此外，即使對于真正的差生來說，從教育的目的來看，都應該允許學生改正錯誤。只要這些差生在一定的時期內通過努力掌握好了所要求掌握的知識，就應該給他們補考并證明自己的機會。(注意思考的邏輯性。這里把參加補考的學生分：：三類，一一加以討論，就比較嚴密。學生在考慮這種題目的寫作時，也要學習類似的思維過程。范文因受字數限制只提到兩類學生。)

“補考”有什么弊端?在現實中，有的學生因為存在補考機會，所以在學習時就沒有付出最大的努力。這就沒有達到教育的目的了。

最后“發揮補考的作用”部分，要結合前面的分析，表明“既要做好補考工作，也要盡力避免補考的弊端”。

Analysis

[1]緊扣outline第l條。

[2]對[1]予以展開。

[3][6]正反兩方面展開說明補考的利與弊。關聯問是but。

[4][5]是[3]的展開句。從兩個方面說補考之“利”。

[7]是[6]的展開句。

[8]用inmyopinion引出“我”的看法，提出補考措施應該予以約束，段末再次呼應說明這種看法。
