新gre作文2012:增強語句表現(xiàn)力的方法

字號:

GRE寫作部分將重點考察考生有針對性地對具體考題做出反應(yīng)的能力,而非要求考生堆砌泛泛的文字。具體說來,這些重點關(guān)注的能力包括:1、 清楚有效地闡明復雜觀點;2、 用貼切的事理和事例支撐觀點;3、考察/驗證他人論點及其相關(guān)論證;4、支撐一個有針對性的連貫的討論;5、控制標準書面英語的各個要素。寫作部分將聯(lián)合考察邏輯推理和分析寫作兩種技能,并且將加大力度引進那些需要考生做出有針對性的回應(yīng)的考題,降低考生依賴事前準備(如背誦)的材料的可能性。
    、避免使用語意弱的“be”動詞。
    1、把句中的表語轉(zhuǎn)換為不同的修飾語。例如:
    Weak: The trees are bare. The grass is brown. The landscape seems drab. Revision:The brown grass and bare trees form a drab landscape. (轉(zhuǎn)換為前置定語)Or: The landscape, bare and brown, begged for spring green. (轉(zhuǎn)換為并列結(jié)構(gòu)作后置定語)
    2、將作表語用的形容詞或名詞變?yōu)樾袨閯釉~。例如:
    1) Weak: The team members are good players.Revision: The team members play well.
    2) Weak: One worker's plan is the elimination of tardiness.Revision: One worker's plan eliminates tardiness.
    3、在以“here”或“there”開頭的句子中,把“be”動詞后的名詞代詞變成改寫句的主語。例如:
    1) Weak: There is no opportunity for promotion.Revision: No opportunity for promotion exists.
    2) Weak: Here are the books you ordered.Revision: The books you ordered have arrived.
    、多用語意具體的動詞,保持句意簡潔明了。例如:
    1、Poor: My supervisor went past my desk.Better: My supervisor sauntered (=walked slowly) past my desk.
    2、Poor: She is a careful shopper.Better: She compares prices and quality.
    、盡量運用主動語態(tài)。例如:
    1、Weak: The organization has been supported by charity.Better: Charity has supported the organization.
    2、Weak: The biscuits were stacked on a plate.Better: Mother stacked the biscuits on a plate.
    、防止使用語意冗長累贅的詞語。例如:
    1、Wordy: My little sister has a preference for chocolate milk.Improved: My little sister prefers chocolate milk.
    2、Wordy: We are in receipt of your letter and intend to follow your recommendations.Improved: We have received your letter and intended to follow your recommendation.
    3、Redundant: We had a serious crisis at school yesterday when our chemistry laboratory caught fire.Improved: We had a crisis at school yesterday when our chemistry laboratory caught fire.
    4、Redundant: My sister and I bought the same, identical dress in different stores.Improved: My sister and I bought the same dress in different stores.
    、杜絕濫用陳舊詞語或難懂的專業(yè)術(shù)語。例如:
    1、Weak: They will not agree to his proposals in any shape or form.Improved: They will not agree to any of his proposals.
    2、Weak: I need her financial input before I can guesstimate our expenditures next fall.Improved: I need her financial figures before I can estimate our expenditures next fall.
