9．How to write tip-top articles Articles，like all pieces of writing，can be divided into three sections，a beginning，a middle and an end.
The middle is the biggest part，and from the reader's point of view it's the most important — it is where the content lies.（1）It tends to be just a straightforward list of facts or events in time order.
（2）From the writer's point of view，they need the most thought.Your opening paragraph has to grab the reader's attention and pull them into piece that follows.It must be consistent with article as a whole and flow seamlessly （連貫流暢地） into it.Beginning give you a chance to shine as a writer.（3）
Endings are as important as introduction，and for the same reason.They are your last chance to impress readers and editors.（4）This can be done by summarizing what's gone before or looking towards the future.It can work particularly well stylistically （文體上） if the end mirrors the beginning in some way.
The best way to get good at intros and endings is to read a lot of them in a wide variety of magazines and newspapers.（5）Your version will be different because the subject matter will be different.
All the above considered，you are bound to write excellent and impressive articles.
A．It's also the easiest bit to write.
B．You will keep your writing fresh.
C．Beginnings，by contrast，can be more difficult to do well.
D．If you seize it，the editors may keep coming back to you with more work.
E．That means writing a lot of good beginnings and ends that editors and readers appreciate.
F．So you should conclude the piece with a flourish （華麗辭藻），or a satisfying sense of completion.
G．Whenever you come across one that grabs your attention，copy the style in your own article.組卷：1引用：2難度：0.5
