英語作文開頭常用語
二、 作文內(nèi)容的陳述
結(jié)構(gòu)in the first place/ secondly/ on top of that
以下手段是增加句子復(fù)雜性的常見方法,也是得高分的“亮點(diǎn)”。
1.改變句子的開頭方式,不要一味地都是主語開頭,接著是謂語、賓語,最后再加一個(gè)狀語?梢园褷钫Z置于句首,或用分詞做狀語等。
〔原文〕we met at the school gate and went there together early in the morning.
〔修正〕early in the morning we met at the school gate and went there together.
〔原文〕the young man couldn’t help crying when he heard the bad news.
〔修正〕hearing the bad news, the young man couldn’t help crying.
2.在整篇文章中,避免只使用一兩個(gè)句式,要靈活運(yùn)用諸如倒裝句、強(qiáng)調(diào)句、主從復(fù)合句、分詞狀語等。
①強(qiáng)調(diào)句
〔原文〕i met him in the street yesterday.
〔修正〕it was in the street that i met him yesterday.
it was yesterday that i met him in the street.
、谟蓋ith或without引導(dǎo)的短語。如:
he sat in a chair with a newspaper in the hand.
③分詞短語。如:
satisfied with the result,he decided to go on with a new experiment.
、艿寡b句。如:
only in this way can we achieve our goal.
never before have i seen such a wonderful film.
not only should we study in the college, but also learn how to be a decent person.
⑤省略句。如:
if so,victory will be ours.
you can make some changes wherever necessary.
3.通過分句和合句,增強(qiáng)句子的連貫性和表現(xiàn)力。
〔原文〕he stopped us half an hour ago. he made us catch the next offender.
〔修正〕he stopped us half an hour ago and made us catch the next offender.
〔原文〕we had a short rest. then we began to play happily. we sang and danced.
some told stories. some played chess.
〔修正〕after a short rest, we had great fun singing and dancing, telling jokes and playing chess.注意使用不同長度的句子,要結(jié)合使用,不能只用短句或只用長句。
4.學(xué)會使用過渡詞。如:
、龠f進(jìn): then(然后), besides(還有), furthermore(而且), moreover(此外)等。
②轉(zhuǎn)折: however(然而), but(但是), on the contrary (相反), after all(畢竟)等。
、劭偨Y(jié): finally(最后), at last(最后), in brief(總之), in conclusion(最后)等。
、軓(qiáng)調(diào): indeed(確實(shí)), certainly(一定), surely(確定), above all(尤其)等。
、輰Ρ: in the same way(同樣地), just as(正如), on the one hand…on the other hand(一方面……另一方面……)等。
相似的比較: similarly, in the same manner 相反的比較: on the other hand, conversely, whereas, while, instead, nevertheless, in contrast, on the contrary, compared with …,
5.注意使用詞組、習(xí)語來代替一些單詞,以增加文采。如:
〔原文〕a new railway is being built in my hometown.
〔修正〕a new railway is under construction in my hometown.
