雅思写作一直都是中国考生的弱项,如果考生写出来的作文结构不合理,词汇单调贫乏,句型结构缺乏变化,语法错误频出,便无法拿到高分。今天小思整理了一套关于英文写作的10个核心准则,一起来学习一下。
1段落与观点
Maketheparagraphtheunitofcomposition:oneparagraphtoeachtopic
不同的段落构成文章,每个段落仅传递一个观点
2主题句做开头
A.thetopicsentencecomesatornearthebeginning
每个段落均以主题句开头,并且首尾呼应
B.thesucceedingsentencesexplainorestablishordevelopthestatementmadeinthetopicsentence
段落围绕主题句展开,后面的句子对主题句进行展开解释
C.thefinalsentenceeitheremphasizesthethoughtofthetopicsentenceorstatessomeimportantconsequence.
末尾句或者对主题句进行强调,或者阐述主题句带来的结果
3多用主动句
主动句永远比被动句直接有力
Eg:Therewereagreatnumberofdeadleaveslyingontheground
=Deadleavescoveredtheground(清晰生动)
Eg:Thereasonthatheleftcollegewasthathishealthbecameimpaired.
=Failinghealthcompelledhimtoleavecollege(简洁有力)
Eg:Itwasnotlongbeforehewasverysorrythathehadsaidwhathehad.
=Hesoonrepentedhiswords(简洁有力)
4肯定的形式表达否定
避免使用平淡、毫无色彩,含糊其辞的语言
Eg:Hewasnotveryoftenontime.
=Heusuallycamelate.
Eg:HedidnotthinkthatstudyingLatinwasmuchuse.
=HethoughtthestudyofLatinuseless.
5删除冗词
有力的写作一定简洁
Owingtothefactthat
=Since(because)
Inspiteofthefactthat
=Though(although)
Callyourattentiontothefactthat
=Remindyou(notifyyou)
6别写流水账
寻找语言的逻辑关系
通过who,which,when,where,andwhile这些词把句子串起来。
7讲究对称美
内容对等,结构一致
Eg:Formerly,sciencewastaughtbythetextbookmethod,whilenowthelaboratorymethodisemployed.
Parallelstructure:Formerly,sciencewastaughtbythetextbookmethod;nowitistaughtbythelaboratorymethod.
8遵循物以类聚
意思关联紧密的词放在一块
A:主谓之间不分割,补充信息需前置
Eg:Wordsworth,inthefifthbookofTheExcursion,givesaminutedeionofthischurch.
Eg:InthefifthbookoftheExcursion,Wordsworthgivesaminutedeionofthischurch(状语前置,主谓毗邻)
B:关系代词紧随先行词出现
Eg:Therewasalookinhiseyethatbodedmischief.
Eg:Inhiseyewasalookthatbodedmischief(名词look先行,关系词that紧随)
9保持时态一致
nsummaries,keeptoonetense
总结通常使用现在时态,如果使用过去时,请保持时态一致。
10圆周句
圆周句中,强调信息后置
Eg:Fourcenturiesago,ChristopherColumbus,oneoftheItalianmarinerswhomthedeclineoftheirownrepublicshadputattheserviceoftheworldandofadventure,seekingforSpainawestwardpassagetotheIndiesassetoffagainsttheachievementsofPortuguesediscoverers,lightedonAmerica.
Eg:WiththesehopesandinthisbeliefIwouldurgeyou,layingasideallhindrance,thrustingawayallprivateaims,todevoteyourselvesunswervinglyandunflinchinglytothevigorousandsuccessfulprosecutionofthiswar.
