　　「Example 」The Other Side of City Life

　　In the eyes of many people， city life is attractive with all its advantages and convenience，yet they don't see the other side of the picture. First， with the expansion of the city， housing has become a serious problem for city people. Then， there is the problem of pollution： harmful gases from vehicles and poisonous water from factories pollute our surroundings； noise continually disturbs your peace and rest and drives you mad. Thirdly， modern city life puts a high pressure upon people； you have to hurry to and from work； you have to dodge in so as to avoid bumping into the flood of people， bicycles， cars， buses…； all day long you are under great stress. Fourthly， big cities also cause some social problems. Of which high crime rate is the most serious one. People are justifiably in fear of becoming victims of burglary， robbery， murder and other crimes at any time. They should find some ways to cope with all these problems.

　　（四）举例法

　　在主题句中简要、概括地说明一个段落的主题思想之后，可以用具体的、生动的事例来支撑论证主题，向目标读者展示并使他们具体感受主题句中尚未展开的内容和细节。「Example 」This term several useful and interesting courses have been offered. An Introduction to European Culture， for instance， gives us a lot of background knowledge of the history of European philosophy， literature， and arts. From time to time we see slide shows of famous paintings and hear tapes of famous pieces of music， and they make the lectures all the more interesting. American Society and Culture is another course that attracts a large audience. The teacher， who visited the United States not long ago， discusses new trends and changes in American life as well as American history and traditions. We like these and other courses very much， because they help us not only to improve our English but also to broaden our vision.
