Nowadays,manycountries,suchasFrance,GreatBritain,havepromulgated

theprohibitionofsmokingatpublicplaces,includingrestaurants,bars,stores

andworkplaces,解析：［寫作點(diǎn)撥］論說文。①審題及布局。這是一篇比

較典型的提綱式作文。按照文章提示的要求，首先應(yīng)該對政府頒布禁煙

令這一事件進(jìn)行簡單介紹，然后說明自己對政府這一舉措的態(tài)度，支持

還足反對，并說明理由。在布局上，根據(jù)題目中給出的提綱來展開，采

用三段式結(jié)構(gòu)即可。第一段介紹許多國家和地區(qū)紛紛頒布禁煙法令，禁

止公民在公共場所吸煙；第二段說明自己對這一舉措持支持還是反對態(tài)

度；第三段進(jìn)行小結(jié)，重申自己的觀點(diǎn)。這篇文章寫作難點(diǎn)在于第二部

分，說明支持和反對此舉的理由。為了增強(qiáng)說服力，建議作者先交代清

楚自己是吸煙者還是不吸煙者，這樣有利于展開陳述。②語言。作為論

說文，論證要富有條理，論據(jù)要有說服力，詞匯選擇要豐富，句式可以

多樣化。
