開學(xué)最酷 非“我”莫屬!
新托福寫作的評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)和雅思寫作的評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)基本相似,在語言上的考察點(diǎn)也很高,所以新托??荚囋谡Z言上一定要引起高度的重視。詞匯的重要性,包括遣詞和造句兩個(gè)方面。這一系列中,朗閣海外考試研究中心寫作組的專家將為大家介紹其中之二,如何達(dá)到造句的高分。
造句要做到準(zhǔn)確、多樣以及高分表達(dá)
I 準(zhǔn)確的句子表達(dá)
1. 句型分析
英語的句型包括以下幾種,簡單句、復(fù)合句、并列句、并列復(fù)合句等。在新托福寫作中,一般使用復(fù)合句,輔以并列句和并列復(fù)合句,當(dāng)然肯定要有簡單句,做到長短句相結(jié)合。下面摘抄幾個(gè)句子給大家認(rèn)識(shí)并分析一下復(fù)合句和并列復(fù)合句。
a. Even though I usually know what I have to say, I cannot always express myself correctly in English.
這句話是一個(gè)復(fù)合句,由even though引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句。
b. This challenges me to practice my spoken English, with the result that I can complete the speaking tasks more fluently and quickly.
這句話中是一個(gè)復(fù)合句。with介詞結(jié)構(gòu)中,有一個(gè)that引導(dǎo)的同位語從句對(duì)result進(jìn)行解釋說明。
c. I think this is less than ideal because any differences in opinion become personal conflicts, and therefore that might jeopardize the employee’s job.
上句話是一個(gè)并列復(fù)雜句。and 連接了兩個(gè)句子,是一個(gè)并列句;because引導(dǎo)的原因狀語從句。
d. Shallow writing is indicative of weak critical-thinking skills, and such writing, which is often described as “sophomoric”, receives low mark.
這句話同樣是并列復(fù)雜句。由and連接兩個(gè)句子,成為并列句,再一個(gè)which引導(dǎo)的定語從句。
2. 有問題的句子的列舉
朗閣海外考試研究中心分析認(rèn)為,考生寫的句子容易出現(xiàn)三個(gè)問題:一是使用破碎句,二是使用接連句,三是句子連接不正確。
1).破碎句
所謂破碎句,就是句子不完整,通常是沒有謂語(或者說謂語是動(dòng)詞的非謂語形式,如分詞),或者是從句單獨(dú)成句。
破碎句:She singing alone. (無謂語,singing是現(xiàn)在分詞)
正確句:She is singing alone.
破碎句:He did not come. Because he was sick. (從句單獨(dú)成句)
正確句:He did not come because he was sick.
2).接連句
所謂接連據(jù),就是兩個(gè)句子直接連在一起,既未使用連詞,也未使用正確的標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)。
接連句: Professionals such as lawyers or accountants usually work longer hours than factory workers they have greater freedom in planning their time.
正確句一: Professionals such as lawyers or accountants usually work longer hours than factory workers. However, they have greater freedom in planning their time.
正確句二: Professionals such as lawyers or accountants usually work longer hours than factory workers; however, they have greater freedom in planning their time.
3).句子連接不正確
所謂句子連接不正確,就是兩個(gè)獨(dú)立的句子之間以逗號(hào)連接,這是不合英語語法的。正確的做法是以連詞、分號(hào)、冒號(hào)、句號(hào)等連接兩個(gè)句子。
不正確句: Breaking chalk into two pieces is a physical change, there is no change in the composition of the chalk.
正確句: Breaking chalk into two pieces is a physical change, so there is no change in the composition of the chalk.
II 高分表達(dá)
