句子是构成文章的基本框架。如何写出流畅、漂亮的句子是决定整篇文章是否成功的关键。学生在学习大学英语的过程中,对长句的表达或多或少都有了一定的理解,但是在写作的过程中却依然存在着句型结构过于简单,词汇运用过于局限的情况。因此,如何使句子在正确的基础上增强表现力,是学生们急于解决的问题。关于如何写出经典句型,我们可以从以下几个方面适当地改变:
1. 句型要丰富多彩,不要使用只有主谓宾、定状补的简单句型结构,也不能总使用There be 句型。
2. 可以尝试使用倒装句型,包括介词短语提前、时间状语提前、副词提前等。
3. 可以尝试使用If引导的条件句、虚拟语气等。
4. 注意连接词的灵活应用。例如表示转折的时候不要只用but,还可以用however, whereas, yet等。
5. 可以尝试使用从句结构,包括定语从句、状语从句等。如果担心从句的正确性,考生可以采用结构相对简单的从句。
6. 可以尝试使用并列句型,如on the one hand...on the other hand等结构。
7. 可以尝试使用插入语结构。即在长句中将主语和谓语动词分开,然后在中间插入修饰语。修饰语可以是分词结构,也可以是介词短语等。
8. 注意词汇的选择。尽量激发自己的思维,挖掘新鲜的词汇,不要只使用已经熟练掌握的高中词汇,要多尝试使用六级词汇。
9. 可以尝试使用数字和大写字母来为句子增色。
10. 针对不同的段落,句子的构成状况也可以进行相应的变化。例如文章的首段,尽量使用中等长度、结构和语法都不会出现错误的、把握性较大的句子。文章的主要部分,主题句要保证准确无误、通顺流畅。
