e．g．The key words of each topic
sentence in the above writing are：“vivid world”，“educational role in daily life”，“harmful”．
4）Find out the relationships between the topic sentences；
From the given topic sentences，we can see that the second topic sentence is a further development
of the first one．The
transitional word“also”shows that the two topic sentences
are parellel．So we have to
write the advantages of television in the first two paragraphs—in the first paragraph，write“vivid world”，while in the second，“educational role”；In the third topic sentence，the transitional word “However”changes the point of view from positive“vivid”，“educational”to negative“harmful”．Thus，we should
write the disadvantages of television in the paragraph．
Model Essay 29…1
Television
Television presents a vivid world in front of us．On television，we can watch exciting football
matches or Olympic marathons．We can“travel”to New York to visit its famous
monuments and museums or to London to attend the royal wedding．We can also“go”to a concert with a cup of coffee in one hand． With a TV set，we can take part in many events
without leaving the house．
Television can also play an educational role in our daily life．Besides regular courses to TV
university students，television also offers various educational programmes for different
viewers．Children like“Tan gram”；young people like the“ABC of puters”；and elderly people like“Life and Health”．Of all the educational programmes，“English on Sunday ”is my favourite．
However，television can also be harmful．It hurts our eyes and can cause nearsightedness．Watching TV too much influences our
sleep and work and cuts down children's study time．Furthermore，some TV programmes are ideologically
incorrect．In short，we should watch TV selectively and
regard it as our servant，not our master．

Model Essay 30…1
The city and the countryside are similar in some ways，but there still exist great
differences in several areas．Generally speaking，the city and the countryside differ mainly in the fields of
environment，transportation，public health service，education and entertaintment．
First of all，in the city public transport is good and brings people to almost any
place in a short time and for little money while travelling in the countryside
is difficult and costly．On the other hand，heavy traffic and business activities in the city pollute the
environment whereas the air in the countryside is fresh and clean and filled
with bird songs．Secondly，people in the city can get advanced
education；However
students in the countryside can not．What's more，if city dwellers are ill，it is easy for them to get treatment in a well…equipped hospital；On the contrary，the rural population has to travel
long distances to see a doctor．Finally，the many stores，cinemas，dancing halls and restaurants make life in the city colorful as
opposed to the simple and some people even say boring life in the countryside．
As we have seen，there are still great differences between the city and the
countryside，but further
economic development will certainly reduce the gap between the two in the near
future．
