标准结尾写法
故名意思,也就是自然而然的结束,不再进一步进行赘述。例如一段关于Fishing的结尾如是写道:
I caught as many as twenty fish in two hours, but my brother caught more. Tired from fishing, we lay down on the river bank,bathing in the sun. We returned home very late.
强调观点写法
用反问的形式结尾,往往能够起到强调观点的作用,虽然看似问句,实则为肯定,更能起到发人深思的意境。例如一篇表述对于青少年做家务观点的文章结尾:
Should we learn to do some housework? I think everyone should. Don't you aGREe, boys and girls?
重复观点写法
在文章的结尾如果感到无话可说,又意犹未尽,不妨采用呼应首段的做法。这样不仅可以将文章稍作总结,而且再一次明确主题,甚至升华主题,不失为画龙点睛之笔。比如这篇描述难忘之人的文章结尾:
After her death, I felt as if something were missing in my life. I was sad over her passing away,but I knew she would not have had any regrets at having given her life for the benefit of the people.
修辞结尾写法
这种结尾的方式对于中国学生来说并不常见,因为需要运用到比喻等含蓄的修辞方式,虽然没有直接表明观点,但却能够带领读者去思考。
Evening came before we realized. We put down our sickles and looked at each other. Our clothes were wet with sweat,But on every face there was a smile.
鼓励式写法
在结尾处对未来进行展望,并激励读者。例如一篇关于Sports的文章结尾处这样描写:
As we have said above, sports can be of great value. They not only make people live happily but also help people to learn virtues and do their work better. A sound mind is in a sound body. Let’s go in for sports.
其实GRE的作文结尾不应该拘泥于统一的形式,而是要根据主题灵活创造。如果是记叙文可以用自然结尾,但如果是议论文或说明文,则反复强调主题的效果会更好。此外,在写GRE文章时,不要忘记注意文章整体结构的完整性。
