　　【例20】

　　【分析】本段文字是关于要重视提高人们生活水平的文章结尾，运用了后果法，段首句使用了句式②。

　　3)呼吁法

　　所谓呼吁法，就是在文章结尾敦促或呼吁读者作出努力，对某问题予以关注或采取行动。但是需要注意的是，不能空感口号，痛下决心，这样会使文章显得空洞，不伦不类。这种结尾方式主要适用于问题解决型作文。

　　【常用句式】

　　① It is high time that we…/ It is ripe time for us to… in no half-hearted manner.

　　② It is essential/ necessary/ important/ imperative that effective/ quick/ proper measures/ actions/ steps/ remedies should be taken to…

　　③ If there is time to…, it is now.

　　④ To reverse the trend is not a light task, and it requires keen consciousness of…

　　⑤ There is no denying that considerable attention must be paid to the plight of…

　　⑥ We must call for an immediate action/ method, because the current tendency of …, if permitted to develop at will, it will result in the destruction of …

　　⑦ Only when… all go into action can we…

　　【例21】

　　【分析】本段文字是关于如何保护社会环境的文章结尾，运用了呼吁法，段首句使用了句式①。

　　需要注意的是，结尾一定要与主题相匹配，切忌谈一些与主题无关的内容。另外，除了以上方法，结尾也可采用引用法和提出建议法。而且在实际写作时，可以不必局限于一种方法，要根据实际情况将几种方法有效结合。

　　四、适当运用修辞手法

　　1.比喻

　　六级写作中常用的比喻手法是明喻和暗喻。明喻要使用诸如like, as之类的比喻词，另外as if, as though, as… as, similar to等也可以表示明喻。暗喻一般不用比喻词，只是用be动词表示比喻对象的相似性。

　　【例22】

　　Working in big companies is similar to the role played by a screw in a big machine.

　　在大公司工作的人就像是大机器上的一颗螺丝钉。

　　【分析】本句运用了明喻的修辞手法,形象生动地描述了在大公司工作的情形。

　　2.平行结构

　　平行结构指的是将结构相同或相似、意义并重、语气一致的语言成分并行排列的一种修辞手法。这种结构层次清晰、语意顺畅，能够起到加强语气、增强表达效果的作用。

　　【例23】

　　If you promise to help when ou should say “No”, you may in the end fail to keep your promise and lose your friend’s trust. On the other hand, even if you have succeeded in fulfilling your friend’s will, you may fell depressed because you must have put in too much energy or money. You may even become a criminal if you help to do something.

　　【分析】本段文字将三个结构相似的句子并行排行，三个句子层层深入，表现出很强的逻辑性。
