[5][7]Furthermore，Besides等都是用來(lái)附加說(shuō)明理由的，層次分明。一般來(lái)說(shuō)，對(duì)于文章的分論點(diǎn)，都應(yīng)給出相關(guān)的支持性論據(jù)，這些論據(jù)之間．要注意用適當(dāng)?shù)年P(guān)聯(lián)詞。

第一段簡(jiǎn)要描述現(xiàn)象，說(shuō)明大學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)、生活中都離不開(kāi)網(wǎng)絡(luò)。

第二段分析網(wǎng)絡(luò)對(duì)大學(xué)生的影響，既有有利的一面(快速了解最新社會(huì)、生活以及科技信息；使學(xué)生的人際交往突破時(shí)間、空間的局限等)，也有不利的一面(過(guò)于沉迷網(wǎng)絡(luò)，忽視了生活中的人際交往；對(duì)網(wǎng)絡(luò)的不正當(dāng)使用，接觸過(guò)多有害信息，對(duì)身心健康無(wú)益)。

第三段提出自己的看法，即，作為一種科技產(chǎn)品，大學(xué)生必須善于利用網(wǎng)絡(luò)豐富自己的生活，提高學(xué)習(xí)效率，而不是被網(wǎng)絡(luò)所控制，成為網(wǎng)絡(luò)的奴隸。

第二段提出自己的看法，認(rèn)為大學(xué)生到農(nóng)村就業(yè)是一個(gè)好現(xiàn)象。從大學(xué)生自身和農(nóng)村的發(fā)展這兩個(gè)角度說(shuō)明其好處。

第三段總結(jié)全文，并進(jìn)一步說(shuō)明大學(xué)生去農(nóng)村就業(yè)是好的選擇。
