  Introduction
 
  1.每段开头都要有介绍Topic的语句
 
  2.每段都要有differences和similarities
 
  用support&evidence支持观点(数据,名人名言,背景知识等)
 
  3.通常使用的引出引用的词:From the examining findings;in light of the evidence;From previous research;Considering the results;According to the figures.

  Tips
 
  1.使用第三人称(即不能出现In my opinion,from my perspective这种表达个人观点的句子)
 
  2.格式:12font,Time New Roman;题目作者班级居中写在最前,一倍间距;正文二倍间距;逗号空一格,句号空两格
