Teens choose a style of dressing to feel accepted. By wearing a style associated with a particular group, many teenagers feel they belong to that group. For example, when I was in my early teens, I was so shy I didn’t have a clue about how to make friends. I did, however, know how to sew very well. Thus, I would be among the first to wear the latest style, whether it was a straight skirt with little flounces at the bottom or a full skirt with yards of fabric gathered at the waist. I would wear popular styles even if it caused arguments with my mother. In fact, I still remember her yelling at me to loosen my belt before school. In spite of her scolding, once I was a block from home, I would tighten my belt back to nineteen inches causing painful, vertical marks around my waist by the end of the day. I didn’t mind the discomfort though, for even the most popular girls remarked about my tiny waist, and, although they didn't know my name, their compliments made me feel accepted.

Use linking words to connect ideas and sentences. Give specific details or anecdotes to add interest to your paragraph. Use linking words to connect ideas and sentences.

There are three reasons why I want to learn English. One reason is that English has become an international language. It is now used by most international companies, including high-tech computer companies, for business communication. Another reason why I want to learn English is so that I can travel to English-speaking countries. The United States, England, Australia and many other countries all use English as their primary language. Finally, I want to learn English because I plan to study in the U.S. in the future. I will study computer systems design. For all these reasons, I am very excited about learning English Source: Craig Wright

英文之邏輯思維或行文方式，都是一種焦 點由小到大 ( 如：時間地點 ) 、由中心向外 及由重心向非重心的轉移過程。 中文則往往是由大到小、由籠統到精細、 由外向內做焦點轉移。 Logic ( 邏輯 )

中文是比較間接的語言，英文比較直接。 英文的語法邏輯是焦點在前，中文是焦 點在後。 Logic ( 邏輯 )

Modifiers ( 修飾語 ) 中文不論修飾語長或短，通常都放名詞前面， 先說修飾語，再說名詞 ( 如：帥哥；戴眼鏡 的女孩 ) 在英文，短的修飾語 ( 如一般形容詞 ) ，通常 都放名詞前面 (a handsome boy) ，但是遇 到長的修飾語，往往先說名詞，再說長的修 飾語 ( 如： a girl with glasses; a girl wearing glasses; a girl who wears glasses) 。
