V. Classification (分类法)
分类法多见于说明文或议论文的说明部分,它是指先把同一事物按一定标准分类,再分别进行详细说明的扩展方法。运用分类法时,应注意保持分类标准的统一性,不能在段落中间随意改动。例如:
There are three kinds of book owners. The first has all the standards of sets and best-sellers—unread, untouched. The second has a great many books—a few of them read through, most of them dipped into, but all of them as clean and shiny as the day they were bought. The third has a few books or many — every one of them dog-eared and dilapidated, shaken and loosened by continual use, marked and scribbled in from front to back.
本段采用分类法,按照藏书人所读书籍多寡的标准,把藏书人分为三大类进行具体说明。

2. 1 Appreciation
My Idea of Internet
Internet plays an important role in our life. When you surf the net, the world seems smaller than ever, and countries far away seem no farther than your hometown. Every hour, thousands of people, including young children, university students, scientists, businessmen, see various information through Internet. You can discuss international affairs, football games, or your viewpoint on love and marriage with known or unknown people. In this way, you may make some friends, who share common views with you. And what’s more, various meetings can also be held on the net. “What a wonder!” many people do exclaim. Indeed, Internet is one of the most wonderful human inventions.
Yet, Internet is not flawless. First, there are too much rubbish on the net. Some people are just over-enthusiastic to offer worthless information. This, in turn, has made it more and difficult to find what you want. Secondly, officials also find it hard to prevent Internet form the invasion of criminals. To some extent, it actually makes it more convenient to commit certain crimes. And sometimes the cost is so prohibiting to many Chinese people. So we can see, just like most other inventions, Internet has its own problems.
There is no doubt that Internet has contributed and will contribute greatly to our life. We should make full use of it while minimizing its negative effects. I think a stricter administration will be of considerable help in making better use of Internet.

2.1 Appreciation
Future of China’s Football
Currently football is the world’s No. 1 sport. Billions of Chinese people are watching the World Cups almost each time, but unfortunately, the Chinese team almost fails in the Asian qualifications, let alone entering the World Cups. What an agony for every Chinese! However, we should never accept such defeat as final but rise to fight again.
We have to see football in a new light. On the one hand, our team is still rather weak. We lack for a galaxy of world-class stars and qualified coaches with much winning experience in international games. Moreover, strong teams are often firmly supported by powerful economy. The developing China cannot afford big football funds yet. On the other hand, we have made great leaps in our football league; professional football has become one of the world’s largest industries, backed by millions of fans. And the last but not the least problem is that our Asian rivals have also made bigger progress.
China’s football will have a bright future. With the rapid growth of our economy, this sport has been attracting more money and better coaches even from abroad and a growing number of football fans as well. We believe that our football team will be getting much stronger in the near future.

Fake Diplomas
It’s reported that fake diplomas have become a very serious problem in the personnel market nowadays. The prospective employers put too much emphasis on the job seekers’educational background, and neglect their practical abilities. As a result, all kinds of fake diplomas and certificates come into being to meet this abnormal phenomenon in our society. Therefore, fake diplomas disorder the job and employment markets and even do harm to the society.
