大学的费用（tuitionand fees）
可以通过多种途径解决 哪种途径适合我（说明理由）
How I Finance My College Education
The past decade has witnessed a steady rise in average university tuition and fees from RMB 500 to RMB 3，450. Conse-quently students voice growing concern over how to finance their college education.
To this problem, in my mind，there are at least three approaches.In the first place, the main financial support comes from parents and other family members. Under any circumstances will Chinese family members back up their children’s college study. In addition, students can borrow money from the bank to support their study, which has become increasingly convenient especially in recent years. What’s more，doing part-time jobs is also a wise choice，in which students can not only earn money, but also combine textbook knowledge with social experience.
Personally, I would like to choose the second method，which will both relieve my retiring parents’ burden and make me concentrate on my studies to lay a solid foundation for future career. (152 词）
一句话点评
毫无疑问,第一段的两个数据将吸引阅卷老师的眼球，同时使 用了 decade, witness, steady等好词,将形成良好的第一印象。
注意:该题目的提纲实际并没有提出问题，ffif直接是问题的多 种解决方式，但我们仍然将其归纳到“问题分析型”文章结构里，因 为要说问题的解决方式之前必然要先说问题本身，所以构思和写作时给其加了一个第一段，描述问题，而本范文第一段直接用 “一句话”具体数例来表达出现的问题。
快捷构思
如本范文第一、二、三段篇幅对比和画线部分模板词句所示，问题分析型的整篇构思清晰明了：即问题段作为次主体段，原因或 解决方法分析段成为主体段落，另一段则简要带过。除第一段的 第一句用“一句话”引人话题外,其他段落首句皆为段落中心句（即 题目所给提纲），完全符合“黄金3原则”的谋篇原则。
第一段一句话”描述“大学学费在增加”，从而产生问题“怎 样支付学费成为了大学生关注的焦点”。
第二段:以模板句提出该段中心“大学的费用可以通过三种途 径解决”。紧接着分别以 in the first place, in addition,what’s more列出了三种途径。
第三段:直接展现适合自己的途径，并作简要说明。
