写作中阅卷人喜欢的句式有以下两种:一是插入语;二是倒装。
第一,插入语。
所谓插入语,英语中有两种形式。一种是有两个逗号之间引起的成分称之为插入语;第二种是有两个半破折号引起的成分称之为插入语。如下所示(黑体划线处):
Jinan, the Spring City, is a famous tourist city.
Other people may give us instrumental support—financial aid, material resources, and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.
插入语的作用主要有两个,一个是突出主语,比如说:He, who would like to play basketball, is a good student.
第二个作用是解释说明,比如说:People, especially students, should work hard.
第二,倒装
倒装是我们写作中需要用到的。虽然略显俗套,但是却是很能满足阅卷人的主观感受的。常用的倒装形式有以下几种:
Only + 时间状语
Only when all of us join in the efforts of eliminating cheating at all levels can we expect to have a cleaner society and a more beautiful future.
Only + 介词词组
Only by planning his time care fully can he improve efficiency and make achievements.
Only in this way can we master the writing skills step by steps.
否定词位于句首(hardly when; never; not only---,but also---; seldom)
在我一生当中很难遇到这样的人
Seldom in my life have I met such a kind-hearted man.
地点方位名词位于句首
In no other place in the world can one find such enthusiasm for applying for hosting the 2008 Olympic Games.
(3)修辞
无论是汉语写作还是英语写作,修辞其实非常的重要。它是作者写作功底具体事例地展现。所谓修辞包括比喻、拟人、排比等等。英语写作中的修辞问题我已经专门写过一篇文章(见《英语写作几种修辞手法》)。这里仅举一个比喻例子,还是拿“重要的”来举例。当你用完词组之后,如果你用上下面比如句子,则文章就会显得神采飞扬,试比较:
The bicycle is important for us.
The bicycle is of importance for us.
The bicycle plays an important role in our life.
The bicycle, environmental friendliness vehicle, plays an important role in our life.
The bicycle is like the air, water, and sunshine and cannot be parted with a moment in our life.
那么很明显,最后一个句子是我们最终拿到考场上去搏击高分的句子。
第四,平时要注意积累
很多考生为了写好作文也作了好多工作,课下也付出了很多,包括背诵大量的文章等等,但是提笔写作时候,仍不见的有所改观。问题在哪里呢?
我认为,很多考生虽然也背诵文章,但却只是死记硬背。如果合上书本让他复述,他们就会卡壳。就是茶壶里煮饺子,倒不出来。我们说背诵是个输入的过程,而说和写则是输出的过程。我们真正需要的是把平时积累的随时随地用在我们的写作中。因此,我们在注重积累的同时,一定在平时练习的时候,把他们多家运用。只有多练多用,才能真正达到学以致用,才能真正提高写作水平。
