文章的基本結構 (The Basic Structure of an Essay)

Introduction (導論)： 文章的引言用處在於吸引讀者，闡明文意，導入正題。英文作文的引言必須包含論點 (Thesis Statement)，也是整篇文章的靈魂所在。Thesis Statement 有兩個主要功能： 告訴讀者，作者的想法思路；以及以下文章的脈絡重點，而對作者來說則以主論點為指引 ，以免自己寫偏離主題。

Body (主文)： 把論點加以細項分類，並一一支持論點做深入討論。一般說來，一篇托福獨立寫作作文只 有兩到三個支持段落 (Supporting/Body Paragraphs)。每個支持段落必須包含一句主題 句 (Topic Sentence)。主題句通常是段落的第一句，用意在於說明整個段落的大意，是 段落的摘要，也是段落內容的基礎。支持段落也必須包含相關的支持句 (Supporting Sentence) 及例子說明 (Exemplifications and/or Details) 才能支撐文章的主題句並 且讓你的觀點闡述的更清楚。

Conclusion (結論)： 總結文章重申論點。可再簡述以及加強文章要點，但不宜再發展其它論點或提出新的問題 。
