應對托福獨立寫作 學會挖掘句子的多樣性
在托福寫作備考的時候,想快速提升自己的寫作質量,除了不斷完善自己的文章的架構方法和邏輯思路之外,找到一些英語寫作的特點,挖掘到一些寫作句型的趨勢,也勢必會為你寫作的提分帶來很大的幫助。那么,下面我們就為大家的帶來托福寫作中句子的多樣性。
一、英語寫作的特點.
The characteristics of formal writing
1.名詞化趨勢
I do not eat much.-->I am a light eater.
The clock on the desk reminds me of time.-->I put a clock on the desk as a reminder of time.
We once cried, laughed and disappointed.-->There were moments of tears, moments of laughter, and moments of disappointment.
注意:名詞化趨勢的句子當然還有動詞, 目的是盡量把表達句子中心意思的那個詞匯用名詞表達.符合英文的習慣.
2.無靈主語(區別于被動語態)
我們中文寫作中,習慣以人做主語,而英文則相反,習慣以物做主格.
More and more young students studied further in the past two decades.
-->The past two decades witnessed a growing number of young students for further study.
Looking out of the window, you will have a nice view.
-->A glance out of the window offers you a nice view.
注意: 名詞化趨勢和無靈主語常常是相結合的.
3.被動語態
這一點大家比較熟悉,不詳細講.比如:
Great efforts should be made to…..
What can not be denied is that….
二、句式的寫作:
Main features of English sentences:
1.長短句結合
Love is patient and kind. It is never jealous, boastful, proud or rude. It keeps no record of wrong that others do. It always protects, always fruits, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails.
一般來講,總結性的句子應當使用短句,而說理的句子應用長句.
2.并列復合句
這種句子屬于十分難寫的句子,也舉一個例子:
He who wants to save his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for me will save it.
3.單一復合句
也就是我們常說的各種從句,不再舉例.
三、Variety of sentences:
1. ”-ing & -ed” groups
e.g.
(1)Standing by the riverside, the Master sighed,” May time go on and on like this, never ceasing day and night.”
(2)Reviewing what one has learned and gaining new insights, one is fit to be a teacher.
(3)Compared with the tradition, modernity is more dynamic.
2. ”to do” groups
e.g.
To spend too much time in study is sloth; to use them too much for ornaments is affectation; to make any judgment wholly by their rules is the humor of the scholar.
3. adverb
Simply, amazingly, absurdly, broadly, practically and so on
e.g.
Intelligently applied to daily life, modern technology will surely bring benefits to the well-being of the human race.
4.介詞短語
In pursuit of, in spite of (注意平時自己的收集)
e.g.
In pursuit of excellence, ever pushing up the limit, life consists in the hope born of despair.
5.主語從句
e.g.
What China needs is not more morals, but more prisons for politicians.
句子的變化還有 It is self-evident(adj) that…….和There be 這樣的句子
6.倒裝
(1)將一些否定性含義的副詞和短語在句首,用倒裝會使句子生色不少.
Never before has such a high standard been achieved.
Hardly had he arrived when she started complaining.
(2)為使描繪更加生動,與介詞同形的副詞可以移動到句首,而把主語放到謂語后面去.
Following the roar, out rushed a tiger from the bushes.
In came a pretty girl he had never seen before.
四、插入語
插入語可以是一個小詞,也可以是一個同謂語的形式.
1.先看一個小技巧:(對there be 句型均有效)
There is, recently, a debate amongst educators that……
通俗的講,在老外眼里,主語與謂語離的越遠,句子的檔次越高.
2.插入語后面再接上一個定語從句;
Direct experience, a necessary means to recognize the world, which differs from knowledge acquired from books, is a major step to the cognitive world.
再看幾個同謂語從句的例子:
1.Television, one of the most pervasive and persuasive technologies, marked by the rapid growth and drastic change, has a profound impact on people’s lives.
2.Courage, a basic quality that every human being is supposed to possess when facing a dilemma, is highly cherished among young people.
3. Convention, generally accepted practice especially with regard to social behavior, has now been increasingly challenged.
平時要多積累這樣的句型,使之變成自己的語言.
Tip:對同謂語的解釋盡量寬泛一些,有利于句子的拉長.
對于在寫TWE不知道如何漂亮開頭的T友, 我強烈推薦用插入語加定語從句開頭.
就是說:將題目中的中心詞拿出來,進行寬泛的解釋.這一方法對很大一部分的考題都是有效的.
