15、adictionsintheChevaliersaccounts.此段功能:(Listeningpassage后文提到用L代替)(Readingpassage后文用R代替)作者用自己的话复述了R的观点,R对chevalier的回忆录的准确性和客观性有疑问。L表示了反对的逻辑关系,L准备澄清R的几点疑问。此段结构:开头段在总结双方观点表达逻辑关系的时候,没有很无聊的把L观点再写一遍:L认为回忆录是正确的并且做出了几点辩论;而是换了一个说法:L准备澄清Ro这样的表达让人觉得眼前一亮。Paragraph2TheprofessorarguesthatwhilehewaslivinginSwitzerl

21、reakingaholeintheceilingoftheprisonandescapingwasindeedaccurate.此段功能:在最后一点越狱细节中,作者想说L准备反驳R的贿赂越狱说。L指出其他的犯人,更有背景的犯人,都没能像C一样贿赂出狱。更甚的是,L指出当地报纸报道在C越狱后有一次C狱室天花板的维修记录,这意味着C是真的挖开天花板逃跑的。此段结构:此段为分分结构,作者详细阐明了L为了反驳R的某论点,展开的一系列证据。范文全篇总评1、逻辑结构全文遵从总分结构,开头段阐述L和R各自观点并表明逻辑关系。随后三个论段中,作者客观详细了展示了双方证据要点。使得辩论看起来有理有据。2.语言表
