英語說明文的寫作方法（一）之二

　　ay，the first paragraph sets up the topic focus（主題所在）Next，the sentences in the body of a paragraph develop the topic sentence. Similarly，the body of an essay consists of a number of paragraphs that discuss and support the ideas given in the introductory（引導的）paragraph. Finally，a concluding sentence（結束句）whether a restatement，conclusion，or observationends the paragraph. The essay，too，has a concluding paragraph which ends the essay logically and satisfactorily. Although there are some exceptions（例外），most well written expository（說明文的）paragraphs and essays are similar in structure.

　　　　可以看出，在比較相同點的時候，常用到similarly，also，too，in the same case，in spite of the difference等這樣的詞語。

　　European Football and American Football

　　　　Although European football is the parent of American football，the two games show several major differences. European football，sometimes called association football or soccer，is played in 80 countries，making it the most widely played sport in the world. American football，on the other hand，is popular only in North America（the United States and Canada）.Soccer is played by eleven players with a round ball. Football，also played by eleven players in somewhat different positions（位置）on the field，is played with an elongated（拉長的）round ball. Soccer has little body contact（接觸）between players and therefore needs no special protective equipment. Football，in which players make the greatest use of body contact to stop a running ball-carrier and his teammates，needs special protective equipment. In soccer，the ball is advanced toward the goal by kicking it or by butting（頂）it with the head. In American football，on the other hand，the ball is passed from hand to hand or carried in the hands across the opponent's（對手）goal. These are just a few of the features which distinguish（區別）association and American football.

　　　　這是一篇用比較不同點的手法寫的說明文。從文章中可以看出：however，on the other hand，in contrast，but，nevertheless等表示轉折的詞語常用來引導對不同點的比較。[1][2]
