托福寫(xiě)作高效的方法-連接詞和長(zhǎng)短句
托福獨(dú)立寫(xiě)作如果使用一些表示從屬關(guān)系的連接詞,不僅能夠豐富句型,而且讀起來(lái)流暢自然,生動(dòng)活潑,下面一起來(lái)看下托福寫(xiě)作的高效方法。
連接詞和長(zhǎng)短句
一、巧用連接詞
一些表示從屬關(guān)系的連接詞,如who,which,that,because,since,although,after,as,before,when,whenever,if,unless,as if等不僅能夠豐富句型,而且還能夠把意思表達(dá)得更清楚、連貫。
例如:
Natural resources are very limited. They will be exhausted in the near future. It is not true. But it becomes a major concern over the world. This is a widely accepted fact.
這段話內(nèi)在的邏輯關(guān)系含糊不清,意思支離破碎。如采用連接詞將單句合并,形成主從關(guān)系,就能使層次清楚、結(jié)構(gòu)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn):
It is a widely accepted fact that there is a major concern all over the world for the exhaustion of limited natural resources in the near future, thought it is unlikely to be true.
再如:
The Mississippi River is one of the longest rivers in the world, and in spring time it often overflows its banks, and the lives of many people are endangered.
這段話中三個(gè)“and”顯得很幼稚,如果用連接代詞“which”,句子就會(huì)更連貫、更流暢。
The Mississippi River, which is one of the longest rivers in the world, often overflows its banks in the spring times, endangering the lives of many people.
二、長(zhǎng)短句相間
長(zhǎng)句和短句各有其優(yōu)點(diǎn)和缺點(diǎn)。因長(zhǎng)句所用的定語(yǔ)、狀語(yǔ)較多,限制了概念的外延,增加了概念的內(nèi)涵,所以比較精確、縝密,但使用起來(lái)不夠活潑和方便。短句直截了當(dāng),一般比較簡(jiǎn)潔、明快、有力,但不利于表達(dá)復(fù)雜的思想內(nèi)容。在寫(xiě)作中最好長(zhǎng)短句交替使用。
例如:
(1)We can imagine the beautiful surroundings.
(2)There are many trees along the streets.
(3)There is a clean river in the city.
(4)There are many fishes in the river.
(5)There are willow trees on the one side.
(6)There are some pieces of grassland on the other
side.
(7)There are many flowers on them.
文中七個(gè)句子都是簡(jiǎn)單句,句型結(jié)構(gòu)單一,而且句子長(zhǎng)短一樣,十分單調(diào)。下面是修改后的段落:
(I)Just imagine the beautiful surroundings if we have made our cities greener.
(2)Green trees line the streets.
(3)A clean river winds through the city, in which a lot of fishes abound.
(4)On one side stand rows of willow trees, and on the other side lies a stretch of grassland sprinkled with many yellow and red flowers.
改寫(xiě)后的這段文字句子長(zhǎng)短相間,句型結(jié)構(gòu)變化大。讀起來(lái)流暢自然,生動(dòng)活潑。
