22、，是编辑对最有新闻价值的内容的浓缩、概括。为了撷取新闻要点、诠释新闻意义、吸引读者阅读，好的标题应该简洁明了。如：A Terrible EarthquakeA Sandstorm Hit the NorthwestChinaThe First Spacewalk2导语：导语是消息的开头的第一段或第一句话，它扼要地揭示出消息的核心内容。如：September 29，2011 saw Chinas first step towards building a space station.On October 23，2015 a terrible earthquake struck the east
23、of Turkey.3主体：主体是消息的主要部分，它用充足的事实表现主题，是对导语内容的进一步展开和阐释。主体要根据不同内容运用适当句型对新闻细节进行描述，如：The earthquake destroyed nearly everything in Wenchuan county，Sichuan Province.They had to put up tents because it was raining hard.The government sent 3，000 firefighters and policemen there to help them move to a safe p
24、lace.4结束语：一般是最后一句话或者一段话，通常对全文内容做概括性的总结。有时，作者根据报道的事实在结束语中提出令人深思的问题。【典型句式】In a word，it is necessary for us to learn to protect ourselves.I feel sad.If we all do something for them，things will be sure to get better.I believe we can certainly overcome the disaster with the public and the government work
