攻破雅思写作6分的关键竟是语法!
很多“烤鸭”同学为了出国读本科或者是硕士,或多或少都需要达到雅思写作单科6分的水平。可是,就这么一个6分,却难倒了不少同学。为什么那么多同学都会卡在6分这个瓶颈呢?新东方雅思陈蜀东老师告诉你,原因很简单,语法不过关。那么该如何提高呢? 听陈蜀东老师给你细细道来。
好多同学多会说,雅思写作要大词,大语法,各种从句诌上去就好了。实际不然,雅思写作要求准确,即便是你使用正确的简单的语法,也能可以拿到想要的分数。那究竟语法要怎么突破呢?
要突破语法需要从7个语法知识点出发:英语句子的成分、简单句和并列句、名词性从句、定语从句、状语从句、非谓语以及标点符号。
接下来,我会给大家讲一下英语句子的成分以及简单句和并列句。
英语句子的成分(Elements of English Sentences)
英语句子的成分包括主语、谓语、宾语、表语、定语、状语、补语以及同位语。
主语可以有名词、名词短语、代词、动名词、从句等充当。例如:
Schools should make efforts to provide a well-rounded education and produce well-rounded individuals. (名词作主语)
Participating in sports can enhance students’ physical health. (动名词作主语)
What the teachers should do is to help their students with their confidence. (从句作主语)
其中,考生要注意的是动名词和从句做主语,谓语动词用第三人称单数。
谓语动词是有动词的各个时态构成的。在雅思写作Task 2中,需要注意的是一般现在时态、现在完成时态和将来时态的使用,同是也需要注意情态动词的使用方法。而在Task 1中,还需要注意的使用的时态有一般过去时态, 过去完成时态,以及用be likely/predicted to do表示的将来预测。
宾语是在及物动词或介词后的成分,一般可以用名词、名词词组、代词、动名词和从句等构成;表语是放在系动词之后的成分,而be动词是运用最广泛的系动词。除此之外,系动词还有become,turn,go等。
以上几种成分是核心成分,而定语、状语、补语和同位语都是句子的附加成分。有了这些成分,会使得句子更加丰满,相反,会显得有些单调。例如:
She is a girl. →
She is a tall, slim and beautiful girl.
People can be sent to hospitals, and get treatments by doctors with equipment.
People can be sent to hospitals immediately and get effective treatments by experienced and professional doctors with advanced medical equipment.
从上面两句话不难发现,增加了形容词和副词的句子会更加生动一些,描述也更加详细。
简单句和并列句(Simple Sentences & Compound Sentences)
简单句和并列句是雅思写作的基本句型。纵观《剑桥雅思真题1》到《剑桥雅思真题10》的写作考官范文,考官的作文也是以简单句和并列句为主,其他难句子只是一个辅助作用。
简单句有五种基本句型:
S + V (主语 + 谓语[不及物动词])
Dogs bark. (狗叫。)
Jack smiled. (杰克微笑了。)
S + V + O(主语 + 谓语[及物动词] + 宾语)
He collects stamps. (他集邮。)
He teaches English. (他教英语。)
S + LV + P(主语 + 系动词 + 表语)
Reading is a pleasure. (阅读是一种乐趣。)
The movie was good. (这部电影不错。)
S + V + O + OC(主语 + 谓语[及物动词] + 宾语 + 宾补)
The teachers consider my brother as a genius. (老师认为我哥哥是个天才。)
They appointed him manager. (他们任命了他为经理。)
S + V + + IO + DO(主语 + 谓语[及物动词] + 间接宾语 + 直接宾语)
Jim bought Mary a present. (吉姆给玛丽买了一件礼物。)
The tailor made John a suit. (裁缝给约翰做了一套衣服。)
并例句其实就是“简单句+连词+简单句”构成的。
