Aeroplanes have the reputation of being dangerous and even hardened travellers are intimidated by them. They also have the disadvantage of being an expensive form of transport. But nothing can match them for speed and comfort. Travelling at a height of 30,000 feet, far above the clouds, and at over 500 miles an hour is an exhilarating experience. You do not have to devise ways of taking your mind off the journey, for an aeroplane gets you to your destination rapidly. For a few hours, you settle back in a deep armchair to enjoy the flight. The real escapist can watch a film and sip champagne on some services. But even when such refinements are not available, there is plenty to keep you occupied. An aeroplane offers you an unusual and breathtaking view of the world. You soar effortlessly over high mountains and deep valleys. You really see the shape of the land. If the landscape is hidden from view, you can enjoy the extraordinary sight of unbroken cloud plains that stretch out for miles before you, while the sun shines brilliantly in a clear sky. The journey is so smooth that there is nothing to prevent you from reading or sleeping. However you decide to spend your time, one thing is certain: you will arrive at your destination fresh and uncrumpled. You will not have to spend the next few days recovering from a long and arduous journey。

句子(要考虑逻辑性和连贯性两大要素---句子内部和句子之间)
确定句子结构,突出重心---确定主语、谓语、宾语等成分,以判断对句子结构的理解无误;
使用非谓语结构---必须考虑到非谓语结构的特点,如不定式和分词的逻辑主语应该与句子的主语一致,动名词应该起名词的作用,独立主格应该有自己独立的逻辑主语等;
使用从句---尤其是定语从句和状语从句;
词语
会使用小词:challenge, opportunity等
使用各种短语:

综上,要想写出一篇好文章,要兼顾:
从宏观上先严密地组织,有逻辑性地展开;
从结构上先清楚地阐明观点,然后恰当的选择写作技巧支持各种观点,或举例,或描述,或分析前因后果或定义分类等;
从具体的词汇语言使用上,尽量变换句型和句子结构,避免用词过多重复,灵活运用语法知识。
