想当年参加英语语言考试，尤其是GRE、GMAT的时候，总是觉得找不着写作的感觉，后来出国上学英文写作起来也不算轻松。但是最近两年当我看过N本英文书之后，我发现写出来逻辑并不难。
如我在以前的文章中所写，学英文的第一条就是兴趣。自从我有了孩子就研究孩子的成长，隔三差五我就看完一本英文育儿书，一年下来读了几十本英文书，英文的逻辑也就自然而然的找到感觉了。
一、逻辑的顺序
逻辑的顺序可以是：演绎、时间、结构、重要性。后三种属于归纳组织逻辑顺序。
演绎——大前提、小前提、结论；
时间——第一、第二、第三
结构——A、B、C没有先后顺序，等级、重要性相当
重要性——最重要、次要、最次；
具体的关于英文写作逻辑，我推荐参考书《金字塔原理》，简书的《读书》专题，有很多篇关于此书的读书笔记，这里不赘述。
二、逻辑一定要在文章的开头就讲清楚
所以一本书的序言，基本上都是在讲这本书论证的逻辑；一篇论文，基本上第一段就是摘要。这就要求作者的语言功底非常好，用语言表达出逻辑顺序，而不是数字或符号。举几个例子：
开始介绍：
before dip your toes in the water......
initiate conversations about......
debunk the myth that......
touch on this topic in the subsequent chapters.
切入主题：
address some issues about ......
discuss the sign of......
explore the reasons of......
...... is equally important
first, second
finally, last
结论：
conclude the book with......
determine how......
equip you to do something with......
share my testimony in this capacity as long as......
三、逻辑词汇尽量不重复，而且要用书面语言，这样比较正式，逻辑也比较强。
以下列出的过渡逻辑词汇算书面语言，取代的就是等号（＝）后面的口语中常用的简单词。我用以下这种格式，为了便于你打印，然后加上自己的例句。
进一步论证＝and/also
further
furthermore
moreover
in addition
additionally
besides
again
比较=like/as
similarly
comparable
in the same way
likewise
对比=but/although
however
still
nevertheless
on the other hand
on the contrary
even so
notwithstanding
for all that
in contrast
alternatively
at the same time
though this may be
otherwise
instead
nonetheless
conversely
时间顺序=before/after
meanwhile
at length
presently
at last
finally
immediately
thereafter
at that time
subsequently
eventually
currently
in the meantime
in the past
in the future
目的=so that
to this end
with this object
for this purpose
for that reason
because of this x
位置=there/here
at that point
opposite to
adjacent to
on the other side
in the front
in the back
结论 so.....
hence
therefore
accordingly
consequently
thus
thereupon
as a result
in consequence
例子＝that is
for example
for instance
an instance of this
this can be seen in
总结＝in sum, in general
in short
on the whole
as I said
in other words
to be sure
in fact
indeed
clearly
of course
anyway
remarkably
I think
assuredly
definitely
without doubt
for all that
on the whole
in any event
importantly
certainly
四、一定要有例子、有数据
没有例子，没有数据会让人印象不深刻，也不容易理解。除非你专业性很强，好像教科书一样，每个概念都很严谨。即使这样，教师们也还是通过例子来授人以渔的。
需要注意的是：
1.代词要用好，不要给人代丢了。he/she/it......his/her/its.....
The oranges are in the kitchen bowl. Eat all you want, but check them for ripeness first.
2.关键的词多重复几遍
Many cities are overcrowded. But now there is help for the city. ＝ But overcrowding is being addressed by additional trasit lines, which will allow more people to live in the suburbs.
3.掌握一堆同义词／短语
Fred’s car is fast and powerful. But is such a vehicle legal? And don’t hot rods like that pollute the air?.
4.指示代词要指代明确，this/that
Some people suggest giving up salt on popcorn. This idea, however, is ridiculous.
When the man saw the girl begging, he took a picture of her, even though she objected. He thought this was unusual. [What was unusual, the girl begging or her objecting to being photographed?]
以上是我总结的写作经验和用词，当你读大量的文章的时候，你自然就理解了逻辑的重要。当你会表达逻辑的时候，阅读也就迎刃而解了。希望对你有帮助。
