2.完整性

正象我们前面说得那样,一个段落的主题思想靠推展句来实现,如果只有主题句而没有推展句来进一步交待和充实,就不能构成一个完整的段落。同样,虽然有推展句,但主题思想没有得到相对圆满的交待,给读者一种意犹未尽的感觉。这样的段落也不能完成其交际功能。例如:
" u1 B( ]* f3 j6 _, ^* ~4 K- r

. C( V% [; l; o8 E. G$ [. w8 _: \3 |4 A) g
本段的主题句是段首句。本段的两个推展句均不能回答主题句中提出的问题。什么是”a mind in turmoil”(心境不平静)Physical work又如何能改变这种情况?为什么它能起therapy的作用?读者得不到明确的答案。

D+ s8 B7 C5 s. d/ c: U+ P9 W0 H/ g+ N

' s( I2 ~1 E6 p: A* J6 G6 q
段首句所表达的主题思想是一种看法,必须有具体事例加以验证。上述两个推展句只是在文字上对主题作些解释,整个段落内容空洞,简而不明。如果用一两个具体的例子的话,就可以把主题解释清楚了。比如下段:
' }% S+ |& i6 z( h+ E3 i
