如何写出多样化的雅思写作句式
三、长短句相间
长句和短句各有其优点和缺点。长句因为使用了较多的限定语,限制了概念的外延,增加了概念的内涵,所以比较精确,但使用起来不太灵活、方便。短句直截了当,一般比较简洁、有力,但不利于表达复杂的信息。因此,在写作中应长短句交替使用。例如:
I like reading novels. They often tell me interesting and moving stories. Some stories are also instructive. They describe good and evil people. They describe the bright side and the dark side of life. They help me distinguish between right and wrong. In this way they have helped me understand people and life. As a result, I seem to have become wiser.
此段中一共有八个简单句,句型结构单一,而且句子长短相近,十分单调。下面是修改后的段落:
I like reading novels because they tell interesting and moving stories. Moreover, some stories are instructive. By describing good and evil people,and the bright side and the dark side of life, such stories help me to distinguish between right and wrong, and understand people and life. Reading them has perhaps made me wiser.
修改后的段落句子长短相间,中心意思(作者从阅读小说中学到了哪些东西)更加明确。修改稿没有将原稿中的第三句和最后一句与其他的句子融合在一起,因为短句通常更有力,能够强调重要内容,所以仍保持简单句的句式。
四、巧用倒装结构
英语的基本句型是:主语+谓语+宾语或主语+系表结构,但是如果偶尔改变某一句子成分的位置,可以收到意想不到的表达效果。例如:
1.Under no circumstances should we do anything that will benefit ourselves but at the same time harm the interests of others.
2.In her he has absolute faith.
3.By no means should we look down upon people who have less education than we do.
总之,考生在平时的写作过程中要有意识地运用一些有效的手段来改变句式,而在考试过程中应抽出几分钟的时间对草稿的句式进行适当的调整,以避免句式的单一。只有这样,才能够保证提高自己的写作水平,同时在考试中取得好的成绩。
