對(duì)于現(xiàn)在英語學(xué)習(xí)寫作時(shí),如果你僅選用一些普通的、直截了當(dāng)?shù)脑~,或者一律使用簡(jiǎn)單句平鋪直敘,那么這樣在寫出來的文章就會(huì)像一碗白開水,不僅呆板單調(diào)沒有可讀性。如果這時(shí)要使文章有深度,那么同學(xué)們就應(yīng)嘗試使用一些高級(jí)詞匯或句型,在這才可以凸顯文章的亮點(diǎn),同時(shí)還會(huì)使文章增添文采,也有可能給讀者(尤其是閱卷老師留下深刻印象)。具體說來,
中學(xué)英語夏令營作為同學(xué)們可嘗試以下英語寫作技巧:
1.結(jié)合使用長句與短句
因在英語寫作中,我們會(huì)過多地使用長句或過多地使用短句都不好。那正確的做法是,要根據(jù)實(shí)際情況在文章中交替使用長句與短語,只有這樣才會(huì)使文章顯得錯(cuò)落有致,這樣不僅使文章在形式上增加美感,而且使文章讀起來鏗鏘有力。如:
At noon we had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. Then we had a short rest. Then we began to play happily. We sang and danced. Some told stories. Some played chess.
→ At noon we had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. After a short rest, we had great fun singing and dancing, telling jokes and playing chess.
中午我們曬著太陽吃野餐。休息一會(huì)兒后,我們唱的唱歌,跳的跳舞,還有的講笑話、下棋,大家玩得很開心。
2. 合理使用省略句
合理恰當(dāng)?shù)厥褂檬÷跃?,不僅可以使文章精練、簡(jiǎn)潔,而且會(huì)使文章更具文采和可讀性。如:
(1) He may be busy. If he’s busy, I’ll call later. If he is not busy, can I see him now?
→ He may be busy. If so, I’ll call later. If not, can I see him now?
他可能很忙,要是這樣,我以后再來拜訪。要是不忙,我現(xiàn)在可以見他嗎?
(2) If the weather is fine, we’ll go. If it is not fine, we’ll not go.
→ If the weather is fine, we’ll go. If not, not.
如果天氣好,我們就去;如果天氣不好,我們就不去了。
(3) She could have applied for that job, but she didn’t do so.
→ She could have applied for that job, but she didn’t.
她本可申請(qǐng)這份工作的,但她沒有。
3. 適當(dāng)運(yùn)用非謂語結(jié)構(gòu)
非謂語結(jié)構(gòu)通常被認(rèn)為是一種高級(jí)結(jié)構(gòu),適當(dāng)運(yùn)用非謂語結(jié)構(gòu),會(huì)給人一種熟練駕馭語言的印象。如:
(1) When he heard the news, they all jumped for joy.
→ Hearing the news, they all jumped for joy.
聽了這消息他們都高興得跳了起來。
(2) As I didn’t know her address, I wasn’t able to get in touch with her.
→ Not knowing her address, I wasn’t able to get in touch with her.
由于不知道她的地址,我沒法和她聯(lián)系。
(3) As he was born into a peasant family, he had only two years of schooling.
→ Born into a peasant family, he had only two years of schooling.
他出生農(nóng)民家庭,只上過兩年學(xué)。
