PETS寫作—開頭的寫作技巧
1． 開頭技巧一：名人名言
開頭引用名人不僅能夠作為很好的切入點展開話題，而且還能夠顯示考生深厚的英語功底。可能有的考生會疑惑：“我沒有記住名言，怎么辦？尤其是英語名言？”一般來說，引用名人名言不一定要記住每個單詞才行。如果考生能夠記住大致的內容，也可以引用。引用名人名言的經典句型：
A proverb says, “you are only young once.” （適用于已記住的名言）
It goes without saying that we cannot be young forever. （適用于只記住大致意思的名言）
更多經典句型：As everyone knows, no one can deny that…
我們為考生總結了一些考生常用的名人名言，附在本節后面，供考生記憶使用。
2． 開頭技巧二：數字統計
要想使自己的論證更有說服力，就應該用實際的數字來說明。原則上在議論文當中十不應該出現虛假數字的，可是在考試考生只需要記住一個大概得數據即可。所以不妨試用下面的句型：
Ａccording to a recent survey, about 78.9％ of the college students wanted to further their study after their graduation.
更多句型：
A recent statistics shows that …
