高分語法結構:
1. 狀語前置
狀語前置就是把一個修飾動詞的狀語結構,如介詞短語,分詞形式或動詞不定式引導的短語放到句首。雅思寫作中狀語前置是很拿分的句式,不過很多考生都沒意識到這一點。
請看下面從劍橋提供的範文中節選的句子:
1) Like self-awareness, this is also very difficult to achieve, but I think these are the two factors that may be the most important for achieving happiness。
2) Throughout the century, the largest quantity of water was used for agricultural purposes。
3)With a population of 176 million, the figures for Brazil indicate how high agricultural water consumption can be in some countries。
使用狀語前置的最大優點是讓單調的句子有了跳躍的節奏感。考官一天看上百張考卷,看到這樣的句子也會心情愉悅。
注意:插入語
此種語法結構是可以理解為是狀語前置的另一種變體,它將狀語結構提到了主句的主語和謂語之間。插入語也是相對地道的英語表達方法。請看以下幾例:
1)Universities, when it is ning well, should offer both theoretical knowledge as well as professional training。
2)So overall, I believe that, attending school from a young age is good for most children。
插入語的功能和狀語前置基本相似,都能使句子更有跳躍感和地道。
2. 倒裝句
我們先來看以下幾個例子:
1). The parents should spend time on their children, they should also communicate with them。
2). We can never lose sight of the significance of education。
以上兩句話都沒有任何錯誤,但是讀來非常平淡,沒有任何特色,如果我們用倒裝句,出來的效果就完全不一樣了。
1). Not only should parents spend time on their children, they are also advised to interact with them。
2). On no account / by no means / in no way can we lose sight of the significance of education。
3. 強調句
It is … that … / It is … who …正是…導致了
以下是考官寫的一句話:
1. It is the interaction of the two that shapes a person’s personality and dictates how that personality develops。
強調句是考生比較難把握的.一種句型,容易和it引導的形式主語相混淆,但其實我們只要找到強調句的一個特點,即去掉It is … that … / It is … who …仍然是一個完整的句子。
通過以上三種句式結構的介紹,考生就能輕鬆給簡單句穿上外衣進行包裝了,這樣表達同樣的意思用不同的句式結構,出來的效果完全不一樣。下面我們來看一句話分別用不同的三種表達方法,明顯改變了效果。
