With this technique, you begin by stating in one sentence the thesis or main point of your essay. In trying to formulate that one sentence, you should not be concerned with what your audience might need as background information and you needn’t be shy of using technical terms. The required background information and explanation of technical terms are to be supplied in the successive elaborations.
The great advantages of this method of composing are order and control. The method is orderly because every addition is justified and invited by some particular portion of text.

不错，适合像我这样的写作菜鸟。值得一提的是，作者还大胆地将GE摩，唐纳兰，格赖斯，马尔库塞，列奥斯特劳森等人作为反面教材使用。
