三大建议让雅思写作“简洁漂亮”

　　例如下面这个例子：The farm my grandfather grew up on was large in size。

　　large对一个farm来说就是size方面的large，所以in size可以去掉，改为：

　　The farm my grandfather grew up on was large。

　　更简洁的表达方式为：

　　My grandfather grew up on a large farm。

　　2.有时一个词组可以用一个更简单的单词来替换

　　例如：My grandfather has said over and over again that he had to work on hisparents' farm。

　　这里的over and over again就可以改为repeatedly，显得更为简洁：

　　My grandfather has said repeatedly that he had to work on his parents'farm。

　　建议三：选择最恰当的语法结构

　　选择合适的语法结构可以使句子意思的表达更为精确和简练。虽然语法的多样性也很重要，但选择最恰当的语法结构仍然是更为重要的考虑因素。以下原则是在考虑选择何种语法结构时可以参考的原则：

　　1.一个句子的主语和谓语动词应该能够反映句子中的最重要的意思。

　　例如：The situation that resulted in my grandfather's not being able to studyengineering was that his father needed help on the farm。

　　从意思上来分析，上面这句话需要表达的重要的概念是“grandfather's not being able tostudy”，而在表达这个概念时，原句用的主语是situation，谓语动词是was，不能强调需要表达的重点概念，可以改为下面这句话：

　　My grandfather couldn't study engineering because his father needed help onthe farm。

　　2.避免频繁使用“there be”结构

　　例如下面的句子：There were 25 cows on the farm that my grandfather had to milkevery day. It was hard work for my grandfather。

　　可以改为：

　　My grandfather worked hard. He had to milk 25 cows on the farm everyday。

　　更简洁的句式为：

　　My grandfather worked hard milking 25 cows daily。
