九大提高英語技巧的方法
寫作技巧有很多,不過你掌握了哪些。下面,小編在這給大家?guī)砭糯筇岣哂⒄Z技巧的方法,歡迎大家借鑒參考!
一、 長短句原則
工作還得一張一弛呢,老讓讀者讀長句,很容易累shi人……寫一個短小精辟的句子,相反,卻可以起到畫龍點睛的作用。而且如果我們把短句放在段首或者段末,也可以揭示主題:
As a creature, I eat; as a man, I read. Although one action is to meet the primary need of my body and the other is to satisfy the intellectual need of mind, they are in a way quite similar.
如此可見,長短句結合,抑揚頓挫。
建議:在文章第一段(開頭)用一長一短,且先長后短;在文章主體部分,要先用一個短句解釋主要意思,然后在闡述幾個要點的時候采用先短后長的句群形式,定會讓主體部分妙筆生輝!文章結尾一般用一長一短就可以了。
二、 主題句原則
國有其君,家有其主,文章也要有其主。否則會給人造成“群龍無首”之感,相信各位讀過一些破爛文學,故意把主體隱藏在文章之內,結果造成我們稀里糊涂,不知所云。所以奉勸各位一定要寫一個主題句,放在文章的開頭(保險型)或者結尾,讓讀者一目了然,必會平安無事。
特別提示:隱藏主體句可是要冒險的。
To begin with, you must work hard at your lessons and be fully prepared before the exam(主題句). Without sufficient preparation, you can hardly expect to answer all the questions correctly。
三、 一 二 三原則
領導講話總是第一部分、第一點、第二點、第三點、第二部分、第一點… 如此羅嗦。可畢竟還是條理清楚??脊賯兛次恼乱脖厝灰ㄟ^這些關鍵性的“標簽”來判定你的文章是否結構清楚,條理自然。方法很簡單,只要把下面任何一組的詞匯加入到你的幾個要點前就清楚了。
1)first, second, third, last(不推薦,原因:用得太多)
2)firstly, secondly, thirdly, finally(不推薦,原因:俗)
3)the first, the second, the third, the last(不推薦,原因:俗)
4)in the first place, in the second place, in the third place, lastly(不推薦,原因:俗)
5)to begin with, then, furthermore, finally(比較推薦)
6)to start with, next, in addition, finally(比較推薦)
7)first and foremost, besides, last but not least(比較推薦)
8)most important of all, moreover, finally
9)on the one hand, on the other hand(適用于兩點的情況)
10)for one thing, for another thing(適用于兩點的情況)
建議:不僅僅在寫作中注意,平時說話的時候也應該條理清楚!
四、短語優(yōu)先原則
寫作時,尤其是在考試時,如果使用短語,有兩個好處:其一、用短語會使文章增加亮點,如果老師們看到你的文章太簡單,看不到一個自己不認識的短語,必然會看你低一等。相反,如果發(fā)現(xiàn)亮點—精彩的短語,那么你的文章定會得高分了。
其二、關鍵時刻思維短路,只有湊字數(shù),怎么辦?用短語是一個辦法!比如:I cannot bear it. 可以用短語表達:I cannot put up with it. I want it. 可以用短語表達:I am looking forward to it. 這樣字數(shù)明顯增加,表達也更準確。
五、多實少虛原則
原因很簡單,寫文章還是應該寫一些實際的東西,不要空話連篇。這就要求一定要多用實詞,少用虛詞。我這里所說的虛詞就是指那些比較大的詞。
比如我們說一個很好的時候,不應該之說nice這樣空洞的詞,應該使用一些諸如generous, humorous, interesting, smart, gentle, warm-hearted, hospital 之類的形象詞。
再比如: 走出房間,
general的詞是:walk out of the room
但是小偷走出房間應該說:slip out of the room
小姐走出房間應該說:sail out of the room
小孩走出房間應該說:dance out of the room
老人走出房間應該說:stagger out of the room
所以多用實詞,少用虛詞,文章將會大放異彩!
六、 多變句式原則
1)加法(串聯(lián))
都希望寫下很長的句子,像個老外似的,可就是怕寫錯,怎么辦,最保險的寫長句的方法就是這些,可以在任何句子之間加and, 但最好是前后的句子又先后關系或者并列關系。
比如說:I enjoy music and he is fond of playing guitar. 如果是二者并列的,我們可以用一個超級句式:Not only the fur coat is soft, but it is also warm.
其它的短語可以用:besides, furthermore, likewise, moreover
2)轉折(拐彎抹角)
批評某人缺點的時候,我們總習慣先拐彎抹角說說他的優(yōu)點,然后轉入正題,再說缺點,這種方式雖然陰險了點,可畢竟還比較容易讓人接受。所以呢,我們說話的時候,只要在要點之前先來點廢話,注意二者之間用個轉折就夠了。
The car was quite old, yet it was in excellent condition. The coat was thin, but it was warm.
更多的短語:despite that, still, however, nevertheless, in spite of, despite, notwithstanding
3)因果(so, so, so)
昨天在街上我看到了一個女孩,然后我主動搭訕,然后我們去咖啡廳,然后我們認識了,然后我們成為了朋友…可見,講故事的時候我們總要追求先后順序,先什么,后什么,所以然后這個詞就變得很常見了。
其實這個詞表示的是先后或因果關系!
The snow began to fall, so we went home.
更多短語:then, therefore, consequently, accordingly, hence, as a result, for this reason, so that
4)失衡句(頭重腳輕,或者頭輕腳重)
有些人腦袋大,身體小,或者有些人腦袋小,身體大,雖然我們不希望長成這個樣子,可如果真的是這樣了,也就必然會吸引別人的注意力。文章中如果出現(xiàn)這樣的句子,就更會讓考官看到你的句子與眾不同。其實就是主語從句,表語從句,賓語從句的變形。
舉例:This is what I can do. Whether he can go with us or not is not sure. 同樣主語、賓語、表語可以改成如下的復雜成分:When to go, Why he goes away…
5)附加(多此一舉)
如果有了老婆,總會遇到這樣的情況,當你再講某個人的時候,她會插一句說,我昨天見過他;或者說,就是某某某,如果把老婆的話插入到我們的話里面,那就是定語從句和同位語從句或者是插入語。
The man whom you met yesterday is a friend of mine.
I don’t enjoy that book you are reading.
Mr liu, our oral English teacher, is easy-going.
其實很簡單,同位語--要解釋的東西刪除后不影響整個句子的構成;定語從句—借用之前的關鍵詞并且用其重新組成一個句子插入其中,但是whom or that 關鍵詞必須要緊跟在先行詞之前。
6)排比(排山倒海句)
文學作品中最吸引人的地方莫過于此,如果非要讓你的文章更加精彩的話,那么我希望你引用一個個的排比句,一個個得對偶句,一個個的不定式,一個個地詞,一個個的短語,如此表達將會使文章有排山倒海之勢。
Whether your tastes are modern or traditional, sophisticated or simple, there is plenty in London for you. Nowadays, energy can be obtained through various sources such as oil, coal, natural gas, solar heat, the wind and ocean tides. We have got to study hard, to enlarge our scope of knowledge, to realize our potentials and to pay for our life. (氣勢恢宏) 要想寫出如此氣勢恢宏的句子非用排比不可!
七、挑戰(zhàn)極限原則
既然是挑戰(zhàn)極限,必然是比較難的,但是并非不可攀。原理:在學生的文章中,很少發(fā)現(xiàn)諸如獨立主格的句子,其實也很簡單,只要花上5分鐘的時間看看就可以領會,它就是分詞的一種特殊形式,分詞要求主語一致,而獨立主格則不然。
比如:The weather being fine, a large number of people went to climb the Western Hills. Africa is the second largest continent, its size being about three times that of China. 如果你可以寫出這樣的句子,不得高分才怪。
八、文章主體段落三大殺手锏:
一、舉實例:思維短路,舉實例!
提出一個觀點,舉實例!提出一個方案,舉實例!而且者也是我們揭示一個觀點最好的方式,任何情況下,只要我們無法繼續(xù)文章,不管三七二十一,盡管舉例子!
In order to attract more customers, advertisers have adopted every possible stimulative factor in making ads, such as sound, light, colours, cartoon films and human performance. For instance, to advertise a certain food, advertisers will ask an actor or actress to sit at a table and devour the seemingly delicious food while they fime him or her.rast
更多句型:To take … as an example, One example is…, Another example is…, for example
二、做比較:
寫完一個要點,比較與之相似的;又寫完一個要點,再比較與之相反的; 世界上沒有同樣的指紋,沒有相同的樹葉,文章亦同,只有通過比較,你才會發(fā)現(xiàn)二者的相同點(through comparison)和不同點(through contrast)。
下面是一些短語: 相似的比較:in comparison, likewise, similarly, in the same manner 相反的比較:on the other hand, conversely, whereas, while, instead, nevertheless, in contrast, on the contrary, compared with …, (這個對 compare and contrast 題型很有用)
三、換言之:
沒話說了,可以換一句話再說,讓你的文章在多一些字,或者文鄒鄒地說,是讓讀者更充分的理解你的觀點。實際就是重復!下面的句子實際上就三個字 I love you! I am enthusiastic about you. That is to say, I love you. I am wild about you. In other words, I have fallen in love with you.
或者上面我們舉過的例子:I cannot bear it.
可以用短語表達:I cannot put up with it.
因此可以這樣說:I cannot bear it. That is to say, I cannot put up with it or I am fed up with it.
更多短語:in more difficult language, in simpler
