An increasing number of developing countries are expanding their tourist industry.

　　Why do you think it is the case? Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

　　应对上面这个题目，考生在主体段有一句是这么写的：

　　Despite the economic reasons, there is another reason for national reputation.

　　※ 这句话是主段的第二个分论点，起头介绍第二个原因。

　　改写如下

　　Economic reasons aside, there is another reason: to enhance the national reputation.

　　解析：

　　despite 介词，“虽然，尽管”，表示虽可能有其他障碍，但这件事还是成真了。例：Despite applying for hundreds of jobs, he is still out of work.

　　分析原因时，这两个原因基本属于并列或递进关系，所以改写成economic reasons aside, “抛开经济原因不提”。

　　reason 常见的搭配有：

　　reason for … 某情况发生的理由，如reason for her decision她所做决定的理由

　  reason why … 某情况发生的理由，reason why you’re so late你迟到这么久的理由

　　原句中，国家的名声已经是原因本身了，所以改用冒号解释说明reason。
