(2)句式
除了采用词组,要使文章更具英语的味道,我们还需要变换句式。没有受过正规作文训练的考生,通常采用的句式多为主谓宾、主系表。于是我们看到大多数的文章充斥着这样的形式:I am a good boy, and I am a student. I study in Shandong University, and I have three years experience in Qilu Hotel.这样流水帐式的文章显然不能得到高分。
写作中阅卷人喜欢的句式有以下两种:一是插入语;二是倒装。
第一,插入语。
所谓插入语,英语中有两种形式。一种是有两个逗号之间引起的成分称之为插入语;第二种是有两个半破折号引起的成分称之为插入语。如下所示(黑体划线处):
Jinan, the Spring City, is a famous tourist city.
Other people may give us instrumental support—financial aid, material resources, and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.
插入语的作用主要有两个,一个是突出主语,比如说:He, who would like to play basketball, is a good student.第二个作用是解释说明,比如说:People, especially students, should work hard.
(3)倒装
倒装是我们写作中需要用到的。虽然略显俗套,但是却是很能满足阅卷人的主观感受的。常用的倒装形式有以下几种:
Only + 时间状语
Only when all of us join in the efforts of eliminating cheating at all levels can we expect to have a cleaner society and a more beautiful future.
Only + 介词词组
Only by planning his time care fully can he improve efficiency and make achievements.
Only in this way can we master the writing skills step by steps.
否定词位于句首(hardly when; never; not only---,but also---; seldom) 在我一生当中很难遇到这样的人
Seldom in my life have I met such a kind-hearted man.
地点方位名词位于句首
In no other place in the world can one find such enthusiasm for applying for hosting the 2008 Olympic Games.
