3.Self-helpTravelingofCollegeStudents[1]Whencollegestudentsplanajourneytheyusuallypreferself-helptravelingtothetourarrangedbyatravelagency.[2]TherearesomereasonsforcollegestudentschoosingSelf-helpTravelingofCollegeStudents[1]Whencollegestudentsplanajourney,theyusuallypreferself-helptravelingtothetourarrangedbyatravelagency.[2]Therearesomereasonsforcollegestudentschoosing解析：本文是“现象-原因分析-自己的看法”类作文。对于大学生自助游的原因分析是本作文的难点。范文给出厂三个方面的原因：自助游省钱；更有趣；更自由。对于每一个原因，范文也都户以扩展，都是“主题+扩展”的结构。读者在自己写作时，重点也是要训练自己分析问题的能力。大学生选择自助游，还有别的原因吗?如何用英语表达出来?比如：自助游更有挑战性；通过自助游，可以培养学生自己的策划能力；可以拥有个性化的旅游线路，得到其他游客没有过的经历；等等。说到“我的看法”，可以表示支持，也町以表示部分支持，甚至可以表示反对。无论是什么态度和看法，都应该给出理由——即使是对第二段提到的理由总结一下也可以。

[1]介绍现象，以outline第l点为依据。

[2]用以引出原因的常用句型。

[3][5][7]onereason…anotherreason…thethirdreason…层次分明。

[4]对[3]加以扩展，[6]对[5]加以扩展。[4]和[6]使用不同的句子结构，使句式富于变化。

[7]同样是prefer，本句用prefer…ratherthan,与[1]的prefer…to有同有异。

[8]提出自助游是goodchoice的看法。

[9]对[8]给予支持，也是前面一段话的小结。
