新托福寫作在語言上的考察點是非常高的,評分標準也比較高,因此新托??荚囋谡Z言上一定要引起重視,很多考生對于托福寫作一籌莫展,那么如何寫出一篇優(yōu)秀的文章呢?其中詞匯的重要性我們非常清楚,其中包括遣詞和造句兩個方面。下面小編為大家推薦幾種表達方式幫大家在托福寫作中寫出“漂亮話”。
造句要做到準確、多樣以及高分表達
I 準確的句子表達
1. 句型分析
英語的句型包括以下幾種,簡單句、復合句、并列句、并列復合句等。在新托福寫作中,一般使用復合句,輔以并列句和并列復合句,當然肯定要有簡單句,做到長短句相結合。下面摘抄幾個句子給大家認識并分析一下復合句和并列復合句。
a. Even though I usually know what I have to say, I cannot always express myself correctly in English.
這句話是一個復合句,由even though引導的讓步狀語從句。
b. This challenges me to practice my spoken English, with the result that I can complete the speaking tasks more fluently and quickly.
這句話中是一個復合句。with介詞結構中,有一個that引導的同位語從句對result進行解釋說明。
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.
上句話是一個并列復雜句。and 連接了兩個句子,是一個并列句;because引導的原因狀語從句。
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雜句。由and連接兩個句子,成為并列句,再一個which引導的定語從句。
2. 有問題的句子的列舉
考生寫的句子容易出現(xiàn)三個問題: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(或者說謂語是動詞的非謂語形式,如分詞),或者是從句單獨成句。
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),就是兩個句子直接連在一起,既未使用連詞,也未使用正確的標點符號。
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.
