3. Organization

　　组织

　　Organization can quite literally make or break your essay. If a reader doesn't understand how you've gotten from point A to point B because none of your dots seem to connect, then he or she won't be compelled to read any further. And more importantly, he or she will not have listened to what you have had to say. And that's the biggest problem there is.

　　组织可以在字面上对你的文章进行创作或破坏。如果读者因为没有句点而无法理解你是怎样从A观点切换到B观点，就不会深入阅读下去。更重要的是，读者不会听你讲的内容。这就是最大的问题。

　　4.Good Organization

　　好的结构

　　A standard five-paragraph essay structure is what most students use when they write essays. They start with an introductory paragraphending with a thesis sentence. They move on to body paragraph one with a topic sentence, and then proceed, with a few scattered transitions, to body paragraphs two and three. They round out their essay with a conclusion that neatly restates the thesis and ends with a question or a challenge. Sound about right? If this sounds like every essay you've ever written, then you can be sure you're not alone. It's a perfectly adequate structure for a basic essay.

　　标准的五个段落构成的文章结构是学生们在写作文时用得最多的。他们以介绍段开头，以主题句结尾。他们以主题句过渡到第一个主体段落，然后用一些过渡语继续下文，展开第二个和第三个主体段落。他们采用问题式或挑战式的结尾，并重申了论点。是这样的吧?如果你也是这样写文章，你就可以确定自己也属于这一类了。对于基本的文章来说，这是一种非常合适的结构。

　　Great Organization

　　优秀的结构

　　Great organization tends to move beyond just simple supports and basic transitions. Ideas will progress logically and increase the arguments success. Transitions within and between paragraphs will strengthen the argument and heighten meaning. If you start out organizing your essay strategically, with room for analysis and counterarguments built in, your chances of building a great essay improve by quite a bit. And some students find it easier to get more in depth by writing a four-paragraph essay instead of five. You can engaged more with a particular topic in the body paragraphs if you knock out your weakest argument and focus instead on providing a deeper, more thoughtful analysis with just two.

　　优秀的结构常常跳出了简单的佐证和基本的过渡。观点会按照逻辑推进，并逐步完成论证。段落内部或之间的过渡可以加强论证，使意义表达更明显。如果你开始组织自己的文章，就要留出空间进行分析和辩论，这样你写出一篇好文章的可能性就会大大增加。一些学生发现，比起五段文章，四段文章能够更加简单地进行深入发掘。如果你去掉了最薄弱的论证，将尽力集中在用两个段落进行更深入的分析，就可以在主体段落更多地对特定的主题进行探讨。

　　Example:

　　1. Introduction with thesis

　　2. Body paragraph one

　　Support one with detailed analysis

　　Support two that addresses values, complexities and assumptions

　　Counterpoint and dismissal of the counterpoint

　　例子：

　　1.包含论点的介绍

　　主体段一

　　含详细分析的佐证一

　　对价值观、复杂事物和设想进行讨论的佐证二

　　对应物的使用

　　3.Body paragraph two

　　•Support one with detailed analysis

　　•Support two that addresses values, complexities and assumptions

　　•Counterpoint and dismissal of the counterpoint

　　3.主体段二

　　含详细分析的佐证一

　　对价值观、复杂事物和设想进行讨论的佐证二

　　对应物的使用

　　4. Conclusion with restated thesis and option for better idea

　　重申论点、完善观点的结尾

　　Writing Great Essays

　　优秀的文章

　　If your goal is to move forward out of mediocrity, then spend some time learning the basics of great essay writing. After that, pick up your pencil or paper and practice. Nothing will prepare you better for your next essay then writing strategically-organized, well-analyzed, and carefully-worded paragraphs when the pressure isn't on.
