写critical essay是有固定的格式,特别是第一段和最后一段,分析中也需要quote原文,如果楼主从来没写过,会相当棘手.
我找到了份我上高中时的材料,希望对楼主有所帮助.
Itroduction: the introduction of a critical response essay follows a"funnel" form. the first sentence is a general introduction to your essay. it may identify the literature you will be discussing and general theme of the material. the last sentence is your THESIS STATEMENT (main idea/main point you wish to prove/you decision about the essay topic/literary devices to be discussed/etc.)for your essay.
Body paragraphs: Each paragraph of your essay will support different parts of your thesis statement - the different points you wish to make in your essay. the beginning of each body paragraph requires a TOPIC SENTENCE that (1)introduces the main idea of the paragraph, (2)connects back to the thesis statement(because each paragraph supports and develops an idea from the thesis statement),and (3) connects the paragraph with the paragraph just before it. make sure that the idea you communicate in each sentence connects to the idea of the previous sentence.DONT JUMP AROUND WITH UNCONNECTED IDEAS.
Conclusion: the conclusion of your essay is written in a "reverse funnel" the opposite to your introduction. the first sentence of the conclusion specifically summarizes your THESIS STATEMENT but it must also connect to your last paragraph so remember to use transitions. the conclusion then moves from the specific to the general, ending with a broad statement about the literature and/or its theme.
不知道这样帮不帮的到一点点,英国女校入学很难的,祝楼主好运!
