[2]是主题句，[3][4]的例子对[2]加以论证，[3][4]之问用even表示程度的加深。

[5]自然段的主题句。注意，本文重点在说明该如何做，所以“不良影响”部分要尽量简洁。

[6][7]用以支持[5]。

[8]用疑问句形式出现的主题句。

[9]适当引用谚语，可以言简意赅地表达出中心意图，使文章增色。

[11]结束句要注意最后强化主题。

[写作指南]

本题要求对出境游中的一些不文明现象进行分析。根据题目要求，本文写作结构安排如下:

第一段简要描述题目中提到的不文明现象。先总述，说我国公民出境游中存在不文明现象，然后举出两三个例子予以充实。

第二段分析这些不文明现象带来的不良影响:①给旅游当地的居民带来生活上的不便，污染风景区的环境；②给中国人抹黑，使祖国的形象受损，不利于文化的交流和沟通。

第三段就如何做文明游客提出建议。要做文明游客，最重要的就是“入乡随俗”，而要做到这一点，就需要加深列旅游目的地文化的理解，改正游客平日生活中的陋习。
