everyone.Withoutteamworknoindividualorgroup(acompanyaninstitute

Spirit?[1]Teamspiritisamustforthegrowthofeveryone.Withoutteamwork,

noindividualorgroup(acompany,aninstituteorevenacountry)canachieve

anything.⑵However,解析：本篇作文標題是“HOWtoCultivateTeam

Spirit?”，這也就是文章的主旨，寫作時應該重點圍繞“如何”加以闡述。

所以outline中的前面兩點(團隊精神的重要性以及許多人缺失團隊精神)

雖然必不可少，但不能太費筆墨。

當然，本文的難點也正是就“團隊精神的培養(yǎng)'’提出幾條建議。這需要考

生充分發(fā)揮自己的主觀能動性，各顯神通：樣文給出兩條建議：首先，

我們要從思想上認識到個人力量是有限的，?其次，要在行動上積極參與

社會活動、考生在處理類似問題時，也不妨從“思想”和“行動”的角度來

思考。

Analysis

[1]文章開頭，往往只需用英語復述outline中的含義即可。主題句+支

持句”的結(jié)構(gòu)很清楚。

[2]對于outline提到的“缺乏團隊精神”的現(xiàn)象做簡要描述，用too

individualistictobecooperative說明其原因及表現(xiàn)方式。

[3]可以說是文章的主題句，以問句的形式出現(xiàn)。

[4]⑸只打算寫兩點時，注意用適當?shù)男盘栐~表示這兩點。First…和

Furthermore可以表示兩者之間的遞進關系。

[6]引用名言說明應該團結(jié)（也就是要合作）的道理，具有較強的說服力。
