漏斗法：由一般規(guī)律引入特殊事例，把重心放在特殊事例上的方法。先陳述與文章主題相關(guān)的普遍規(guī)律，或描述一個(gè)普遍現(xiàn)象，由面到點(diǎn)縮小范圍，最后落腳到一個(gè)特殊事例上。
課文開頭首先描述了普遍現(xiàn)象：全世界都會(huì)慶祝節(jié)日，但每個(gè)節(jié)日風(fēng)俗不同。接著用However指出所有節(jié)日的內(nèi)涵是一致的，話題有所縮小。

第二段作者用Of all the traditional festivals繼續(xù)縮小話題，將重點(diǎn)集中到世界各地都會(huì)慶祝的、具有共同內(nèi)涵的harvest festival上。
漏斗法的一個(gè)明顯標(biāo)志是將較大的話題逐步縮小，最后集中到一個(gè)點(diǎn)上。常見的由面過渡到點(diǎn)的做法是使用“one of +名詞（短語）”、“of / among介詞短語”以及especially、particularly、in particular、such等詞語。

What do most festivals seem to have in common
Why do you think people around the world find these things important
Festivals most often revolve around building family and community ties. Festivals are rarely celebrated alone. And even when someone is alone during a festival, the festival reminds them of people who used to be in their lives, but who are no longer present. This is important because people are at heart social creatures who desire to have relationships with others and to be a part of the group.
