주제를 스스로 선택할 수 있다면,

-  본인이 생각하기에 흥미로운 주제를 선택하세요 

-  어느 정도 알고 있어서 실제로 쓸 거리가 있는 주제를 선택하세요.

-  읽는 사람들이 흥미로워 할만한 주제를 선택하세요.

논점 선택하기 

일단 주제를 정했으면, 글쓴이의 논점에 대해 결정해야 합니다. 논점이란 해당 주제에 대해서 무엇을 쓰고자 하는지에 

관한 것입니다.

-  주제에 관련된 쟁점 

-  주제에 대한 흥미로운 관점 

-  주제에 대한 설명이나 그와 관련된 특정한 논점 

도움말: 무엇을 써야  할지  모르겠다면, 일단  주제에 대해 본인이  쓸 수 있는 최대한 많은  문장을 써보는 것으로 

시작하세요.기본적으로 생각해낼 수 있는 모든 것을 써봅니다.

다 썼으면 문장들을 다시 훑어보고 난 뒤,본인이 생각하기에 가장 중요하거나 흥미로운 문장을 선택하세요.

그 문장이 주제 문장을 만드는데 쓰일 수 있습니다.

주제 문장 쓰기 

주제 문장은 독자들에게 글에서 무엇을 말하고자 하는지를 전달하는 문장이므로, 독자들이 나머지 단락을 읽어보고 

싶도록 하게끔 흥미롭게 쓰여져야 합니다.

예시: 만약 본인이 가장 좋아하는 계절에 대해 설명하는 단락 하나를 쓴다면,아마 다음과 같은 단순한 문장을 쓸 수 있을 

것입니다: Summer is my favorite season. 

이 문장도 좋습니다만, 좀 더 흥미롭게 쓸 수도 있습니다. 예를 들자면: Although all seasons have their good points,

there are several aspects of summer that make it my favorite.

이제 독자들은 단락의 주제(가장 좋아하는 계절)뿐만 아니라 단락의 논점(여름의 어떤 점이 좋은지)을 이해할 것입니다.

하지만 이는 또한 독자들의 마음 속에 의문점을 남길 것입니다:왜 여름을 가장 좋아하는지,혹은,이 경우에 여름의 어떤 

점이 그렇게 마음에 드는지?

해당 단락에서 글쓴이가 제시하는 세부 내용들이 그 질문에 응답을 할 수 있을 것입니다.

뒷받침 정보 제공하기 

뒷받침 정보(The supporting information)는 글쓴이의 주제 문장을 지지하는 추가 요점과 사례들로 구성됩니다.글쓴이가 

제시하는  사례의  개수가  전체  단락의  길이를  좌우하게  되지만, 최소  3  개의  뒷받침  사례들을  나열할  수  있도록 

시도해보는 것이 좋습니다.

1.  Summer allows for more outdoor activities2.   More fun events are held during the summer

3.  Summer provides more vacation options

이러한 세 가지의 주요 중점을 가지고, 글쓴이는 또한 각각을 설명하는 세부 내용을 제시해야 합니다. 이는 뒷받침 

정보를 좀 더 명확하고 흥미롭게 만듭니다.

단락 마무리하기 

해당 단락은 단락을 마무리하는 결론 문장과 함께 끝나야 합니다. 결론 문장에서는 글쓴이의 주요 중점과 의견을 

요약하는 흥미로운 서술을 해야 합니다.

예시: 여름에 관한 단락은 이렇게 마무리될 수 있습니다: For these reasons, summer is my favorite season by far .

또는 다음과 같이 좀 더 흥미롭게 만들 수도 있습니다: Considering the coldness of winter; and despite the colors of

autumn and the freshness of spring, for me, summer is the best time to get out and really enjoy the world we live in.

서식 만들기 

한 단락은 글머리 기호를 붙인 개별 문장들의 목록이 아닙니다. 한 단락에서 문장들은 하나의 정보 구성  “단위”를 

이루면서 논리적인 순서로 서로 이어지게 됩니다. 종종 첫 번째 줄은 들여쓰기를 하는데, 그래서 최종 완성된 단락은 

다음과 같이 생겼습니다.

Although all seasons have their good points, there are several aspects of summer that

make it my favorite. First of all, summer allows for more outdoor activities. The warm

weather lets me spend more time outside doing the things I love, such as playing my favorite

outdoor sports, meeting with friends, or just walking around different parts of the city.

Additionally, more fun events are held during the summer, such as outdoor concerts andvarious festivals. The atmosphere of these events is so much nicer when they are held in the

open air or under the stars. Finally, summer provides better vacation options. Skiing trips and

travelling abroad to warm countries are too expensive for me, so most of my winter breaks

are spent sitting at home. Summer vacations give me much more freedom. I can go to the

 beach or explore different places closer to home at much less cost, and without having to pack

a lot of warm clothes. Considering the coldness of winter; and despite the colors of autumn

and the freshness of spring, for me, summer is the best time to get out and really enjoy the

world we live in.
