一、核心原则：摒弃俗套，拥抱学术
一个高分的开头段（Introduction）通常包含以下三要素：
- 背景引入 (Paraphrase the topic)：用自己的话重新表述题目背景，展示语言 paraphrasing 能力。
- 表明写作意图 (State the essay's purpose)：明确文章将要探讨什么，回应题目要求。
- 阐明观点/立场 (Present your thesis/opinion)：清晰表达你自己的核心观点（对于观点类题目）。
中国学生常见问题分析：
- "With the development of society/technology..."：这是考官最厌烦的"陈词滥调" (cliché) 之一，几乎直接暴露模板痕迹。
- "Nowadays..."：过于普通，几乎每个人都在用。
- "People think that..." / "Some people think..., while others believe..."：过于笼统和口语化。
- "This essay will discuss both views and give my opinion."：过于机械和死板，虽然功能上没错，但无法体现语言水平。
二、高分词汇与短语替换
| 普通词汇 (Avoid) | 高分替换 (7分+) (Use Instead) |
|---|---|
| Nowadays, | In contemporary society, / In this day and age, / In recent decades, / In the modern era, |

| Good and bad | Benefits and drawbacks, / Merits and demerits, / Positive and negative implications |
| More and more | An increasing number of, / A growing proportion of, / progressively |
三、开头段内的衔接与逻辑
地道的衔接不在于使用"Firstly, Secondly"，而在于使用从句、分词短语和逻辑连接词，让句子之间流畅自然。
- 使用状语从句开头：As..., While..., Although..., Given that... (鉴于...)
- 使用非谓语动词开头：Following the advent of..., ...; Weighed against these benefits, ... (与这些好处相比...)
- 使用"指示代词"进行衔接：This phenomenon has sparked a debate about... (这个现象引发了关于...的讨论); This issue is of particular importance because...
四、表达个人观点的句式
不要在开头段只说 I agree 或 I disagree，要用更学术的方式包装你的观点。
强势同意/不同意：
- I am in complete agreement with the notion that...
- I strongly oppose the view that...
部分同意：
- While I concede that..., I am largely of the opinion that... (我承认...，但我主要认为...)
