托福写作内容如何瘦身
3.把从句改为短语或单词。例如:
Dairy cows were raised on the farm, which was located 100 kilometers from
the nearest university and was in an area that was remote.
简介的表达方式为:
The dairy farm was located in a remote area, 100 kilometers to the nearest
university.
4.仅在需要强调宾语而不是主语的时候,才使用被动语态。例如:
In the fall, not only did the cows have to be milked, but also the hay was
mowed and stacked by my grandfather’s family.
本句不够简洁的原因是本句的重心应该是“忙碌的家庭-my grandfather’s
family”,而使用了被动语态后,仿佛重心变成了cows和hay。下面的表达方式是主动语态,相对来说更简洁一些:
In the fall, my grandfather’s family not only milked the cow but also mowed
and stacked the hay.
5.用更为精确的一个动词来代替动词短语,例如下面这句话:
My grandfather didn’t have time to stand around doing nothing with his
school friends.
Stand around doing nothing其实可以用一个动词来表达,即loiter:
My grandfather didn’t have time to loiter with his school friends.
6.有时两句话的信息经过组合完全可以用一句话来简练地表达,例如:
Profits from the farm were not large. Sometimes they were too small to meet
the expenses of running a farm. They were not sufficient to pay for a university
degree.
两句话的信息可以合并为下面这句更为简洁的句子:
Profits from the farm were sometimes too small to meet operational
expenses,let alone pay for a university degree.
简单并不代表没有难度,一篇好的托福作文,必须逻辑清晰、词汇和句式运用恰当。如果考生对新托福写作备考中的长句没有太大的把握,那么不妨拆成更有把握的短句,一样能获得高分。
