提高语言表达技巧
高考书面表达最高档次的评分标准中,要求
“
词汇丰富,有修辞意识,显示出较强的语言运用能力
”
。因此要想在高考英语写作中取得高分,就必须使用一定的高级词汇和句式,为文章增加闪光点,避免单一、呆板的句式,从而增添语言表达的多样性和灵活性,提高文章的档次。
写作四亮点
1.
肯定不如双否好
修辞的使用在写作中是很大的亮点,双重否定也是种修辞,可以在文章中设计双重否定的句子。
[
典例
]
The postman comes on time every day.
→
The postman never fails to come on time every day.
[
典例
]
He believes that he has enough time to challenge himself.
→
He believes that it is never too late to challenge himself.
[
典例
]
Ms.Li
spent a wonderful time with us
,
but we know that we should thank her for all her hard work and guidance very much.
→
Ms.Li
spent a wonderful time with us
,
but we know that we cannot thank her enough for all her hard work and guidance.
[
典例
]
I quite agree with this view.
→
I can’t agree more with this view.
应用类似的修辞会在高考中为考生加分。
2.
陈述不如倒装妙
在写作中阅卷老师喜欢看到的高级语法共有五种:倒装、强调、从句、独立主格或分词结构以及虚拟语气。倒装是一种最简单易行的使句子呈现亮点的方法。在高中阶段只需掌握倒装的四种形式,足以应对写作,如何应用倒装,有很多方法和技巧。
(1)
否定词开头
[
典例
]
I will never marry you.
→
Never will I marry you.
其他的否定词,如
not
,
seldom
,
hardly
等开头的句子倒装都是比较好的句子。
(2)
地点状语开头
[
典例
]
Our library is in the center of our school.
→
In the center of our school lies our library.
[
典例
]
There are some flowers on the bank.
→
On the bank stand some flowers.
在表达地点时就把地点状语放在句首,后面进行主谓倒装,这样做的好处之一是倒装本身就是高级结构,第二是倒装后把真正的主语放到了句子的末尾,后面还可以继续加从句,使整个句子呈现更多的亮点。
[
典例
]
In the center of our school lies our library
,
which is between the garden and the teaching building.
(3)only
+介词短语
[
典例
]
We can live in more comfortable and beautiful surroundings only in this way.
→
Only in this way can we live in more comfortable and beautiful surroundings.
(4)
形容词+
as
+主语+谓语动词
[
典例
]
Although I felt disappointed at the shabby campus and the poorly-equipped classroom
,
I found the teachers patient and considerate.
→
Disappointed as I felt at the shabby campus and the poorly-equipped classroom
,
I found the teachers patient and considerate.
[
典例
]
Although our country is rich
,
we have a lot of problems.
→
Rich as our country is
,
we have a lot of problems.
还有其他的倒装结构:
[
典例
]
So glad am I to hear from you.
3.
主动不如被动巧
在英文中,被动语态的使用很重要。因为英语中经常用被动语态,汉语中经常用主动语态;英语中经常用物称或形式主语开头,强调一件事发生在什么人身上,而汉语经常用人称开头强调一个人发生了什么事。所以使用被动语态符合英语的习惯,如果能将整个文章中两个句子变成被动语态,就会呈现出丰富的句型,整篇文章也生动起来。
[
典例
]
Then we will cut the cake and we’ll sing songs and play games.
→
Then the cake will be cut and we’ll sing songs and play games.
4.
分词结构不能少
在所有的高级语法中,阅卷老师最喜欢看到的是独立主格和分词结构,其实几乎所有的状语从句都可以变成独立主格或分词结构。
如何变成独立主格或分词结构呢?学会下面的口诀,如果你的作文中有状语从句,马上可改成独立主格或分词结构这个最大的亮点。口诀:一去,二看,三改。一去:去连词;二看:看主语;三改:改分词。
[
典例
]
If such is the case
,
you should apologize to her.
第一步,去掉连词
if
;
第二步,看前后两句话的主语,前后主语不一致,所以要改成独立主格;
第三步,改分词,
is
变成分词是
being
,所以最后变成:
Such being the case
,
you should apologize to her.
[
典例
]
Ms.Li
entered the classroom
,
and he was surprised to find we were standing in line
,
clapping hands and saying loudly
“
Happy Teachers’ Day
!
”
→
Entering the classroom
,
Ms.Li
was surprised to find we were standing in line
,
clapping hands and saying loudly
“
Happy Teachers’ Day
!
”
[
典例
]
I saw them on the bus; I felt a kind of satisfaction.
→
Seeing them on the bus
,
I felt a kind of satisfaction.
