英语作文常用手法【三】
所谓对比，就是把正反两方面的论点和论据加以剖析对照，达到否定错误观点，树立正确论点的目的。
运用对比要注意所选取的“对体”的正与误、是与非、新与旧的区别要非常明显，要有突出的互相对立的关系；必须要对所要论述的对象的矛盾本质有深刻的认识；可以是人对人、物对物，也可以是纵向比较或横向对照。
当然，以上所概括的这几种论证方法，仅仅使用其中的一种，有时论述也会过于单薄。为强化说服力，许多议论文兼用多种论证方法。不过，使用多种论证方法一定要注意突出其中的一种，才会给人留下深刻的印象。
英语作文常用手法【四】
如《荔枝蜜》采用了层层铺垫的写法。写荔枝林的茂盛，是为蜜蜂提供一个很好的生活环境；写荔枝蜜的甜香，是为下文赞颂蜜蜂作铺垫；写蜜蜂的辛劳，又是为赞颂劳动人民作铺垫。
再如《麦琪的礼物》中插叙了对德拉的头发、杰姆金表的叙写，为后文写杰姆夫妇毅然舍弃如此珍贵、心爱的东西作铺垫，以凸现双方深挚的爱情。
