段落举例：

Examination can be unfair in several ways. (topic sentence) For example, the whole career of a candidate depends on what he or she does on a certain day and hour of an exam. (first example) If the candidate is ill, or has had some emotional trauma, these factors could have a negative effect on a student's exam results. (explanation one) Furthermore, some students do not perform well under pressure and require a longer time to reach useful conlusions. (second example) Even though they may have studied diligently and know the subject matter thoroughly, their performance does not reflect their ability. (explanation two) For these students, examinations appear to be unfair.

For one thing, without going to see for themselves, people may never know what other countries are really like and thus can be misled by hearsay or films and TV programs, which, more often than not, are one-sided. For instance, one of my American friends told me that most Americans had a strange bias against the Russian people until some young Americans traveled to Russia and saw with their own eyes that the Russians are human beings just like them. Another example is that, with the development of Chinese tourism, people outside China start to realize that Chinese men no longer have long braids and Chinese women’s feet are of normal size now. Secondly, having seen the fine scenery or experienced the rich culture of other countries, tourists will have the desire to develop a good relationship with the locals, which certainly contributes to the understanding between them.

Topic sentence: In my opinion, international tourism does encourage the understanding between people from different countries.
