寫作目的型

這類題的題干中常有purpose, 或者后面接有表示目的的動詞不定式,如:intend to, meant to，(in order) to等。

[技巧點撥]

我們可以根據(jù)文章的主旨和體裁來推斷作者的寫作目的。因此,文章的首尾段或每段的首尾是閱讀的重點,作者的寫作意圖往往就隱含在其中。

作者寫文章的目的通常有三種，與之對應(yīng)的文章如下：

(1) to entertain readers(使讀者愉悅、發(fā)笑)：常見于個人經(jīng)歷或故事類的文章。

(2) to persuade readers(說服讀者接受某種觀點)：常見于廣告或議論文。廣告是作者要推銷一種產(chǎn)品或一種服務(wù)：吸引更多的游客﹑讀者或訂戶﹑觀眾等;議論文是為了說服讀者接受或贊同某一觀點。

(3) to inform readers(告知讀者某些信息)：多見于新聞報道類﹑科普類﹑文化類或社會類的文章，以及勸告性或建議性的文章。
