A good beginning is half done，在审好题列好提纲后，用最短的时间写出让考官一见钟情的开头段，对烤鸭们的思路和语言功底，都有比较高的要求。如何解决看到题目一片茫然的问题，如何将你的开头段写的不落入俗套，这三种话题引入方式和其高分表达，带你精辟地概括题目意思，让你在开头段赢得先机。
一、今昔对比引入：
无论是在开头段引入话题还是在主体段论证，对比都是个非常好的方法，用我们的生活和曾经的生活进行对比(如果觉得曾经的生活觉得很模糊，请参考父辈/祖辈/祖先的生活)，突出题目需要大家论证的冲突点，如C9T1的范文:
题目：Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning foreign language at primary school rather than secondary school.
Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?
范文：Traditionally,children have begun studying foreign languages at secondary school but introducing them earlier is recommended by some educationalists. This policy has been adopted by some educational authorities or individual schools, with both positive and negative outcomes.
通过traditionally介绍过去的情形，紧接着用but引出当代人们的看法，通过今昔对比来引出冲突点，水到渠成。这种方法尤其适合科技类、政治经济类、教育类、环境类、文化类、社会生活类话题，比如：父辈们闲暇时只能看月亮数星星，但是科技进步让我们拥有多种多样的娱乐方式(科技类);几十年前毕业后就很难在工作之余学习其他技能，但是在线教育的普及让很多成年人也可以在家学习(教育类)。
以下表达可以作为参考：
介绍过去的情形：
Traditionally
in the past XX decades
in the last century
one hundred years ago(when……)
引出冲突点：
But
However/Whereas
On the other hand(注意这个短语是表示转折，并不是并列)
Instead/Unlike
Nevertheless/nonetheless
二、 下定义引入：
分析题目，确定话题(比如科技类，教育类，还是犯罪类)，采用下定义的方式来引出题目中要讨论的点，如C8T1的范文：
题目：some people think that parents should teach children how to be good members of society. Others, however, believe that school is the place to learn this.
Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
范文：A child’s education has never been about learning information and basic skills only. It has always included teaching the next generation how to be good members of society. Therefore, this cannot be the responsibility of the parents alone.
分析题目，确定这是education类的题目，于是对a child's education进行定义：a child's education has never been about……，从而引出题目中要求论证的点how to be good members of society，准确扣题。
以下表达可以作为参考
XXX has never been about……instead……
XXX always involves…
XXX can never be avoided/left behind when we discuss…
XXX is nothing more than……
XXX is much more than simply……
XXX is generally considered to be……
三、时代背景引入：
通过时代背景引入，是最常见也最容易上手的方法，行文思路为：某种原因导致了题目中提到的当代很常见的现象，或者更加简单粗暴点，现如今，题目中提到的现象非常常见/在被热烈讨论，如C6T2的范文：
题目：Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal more money than people in other important professions. Some people think this is fully justified while others it is unfair.
范文：As a result of constant media attention, sports professionals in my country have become stars and celebrities, and those at the top are paid huge salaries. Just like movie stars, they live extravagant lifestyles with huge houses and cars.
需要注意的是，范文不是用的千篇一律的with the development of，而是as a result of。使用时代背景引入法的烤鸭们，切忌落入俗套。
以下表达可以作为参考：
The prosperity of XXX has given rise to
With the prosperity/enhancement/advent of
The last fifty years have witnessed……
Over the last half century，……
It is not uncommon that……
It has been noticed that……
It has been widely discussed/argued that
