阅读中常见的几类常见词
1.以下词组提示下文所涉及的重要信息:
The main / important point / conclusion / reason….
The point to note here…
2.以下词组提示了下文的结构框架:
There are three major reasons…
3.but 和 however表示对比,常常用来提示重要信息,
例如: The rising birth rate is not due to increased fertility, but to a sharp decline
in the death rate.
4.在文中提问可以突出问题后的答案,提示读者答案中有重要信息,
例如:
Why is a piped water supply so important? Disease due to contaminated water is a common cause of d eath in childhood.
5.有时,为了保证读者完全理解自己的观点,作者会在文中反复提出自己的观点,
例如:

6.文章的结论通常是非常重要的,因此,读者要在文中寻找提示结论的“信号词”,
例如:

In conclusionwe can conclude

例如:
