高级词汇的使用

评分标准第五档次的要求中提到,“词汇方面有些许错误,但为尽力使用较复杂结构或较高级词汇所致”。这里所说的“高级词汇”,指的是大纲中没有列入或没有识记要求,但在实际运用中却出现比较频繁的词汇,比如frustration, awkward, awfully, concern等词,都可以算作是“高级词汇”。考生若能够适当地运用一些高级词汇,定会给评卷老师留下深刻的印象。 1. I can’t find any way to solve the problem. (换作高级词汇:I can’t find any solution to the problem.)

2. The pet dog is so lovely that almost everybody likes her. (换作高级词汇:The pet dog is so cute that almost everybody likes her.)

3. The question is really difficult to understand. (换作高级词汇:The question is really confusing.)

4. He had to face all the possible difficulties. (换作高级词汇:He had to cope with all the possible difficulties)

同义词的使用

英语中有些词的使用频率非常高,比如interesting, clever等,在表达时大家都很喜欢用,这样很容易令文章入千人一面的窘境中。但如果我们能够使用它们相应的同义词,就可以做到与众不同,给评卷者带来清新的感觉。例如:

1. It will be very interesting. (换作同义词:It will be a lot of fun.)

2. He was so clever that he could count all the way up to 100 at one year old.( 换作同义词:He was so smart that he could count all the way up to 100 at one year old.) 3. Last summer I visited New Jersey with my parents. (换作同义词:Last summer I toured New Jersey with my parents.)

适当利用短语取代单词

总体而言,使用短语的难度比单词要大一些,因此适当运用短语更能显出作者的功力。例如: 1. Suddenly I had a good idea. (换作短语:Suddenly I came up with a good idea.) 2. Take a moment to see what is happening around you. (换作短语:Take a moment to see what is going on around you.)

3. Everyone should do his or her best. (换作短语:Everyone is supposed to do his or her best.) 使用固定句式

1. She was robbed of her purse but she had no time to call for help.(使用before one can do sth.结构:She was robbed of her purse before she could call for help.)

2. The environment will never improve until everybody takes care of it. (使用倒装结构:Not until everybody takes care of it will the environment improve.) 使用现在分词结构

现在分词结构可以表达伴随、原因等状语,因此几乎在任何文章中都可以用得上。现在分词短语可以使句子的表达更加简洁、生动,而且也使前后两个动作的衔接更加紧密。例如: 1. Nowadays, we can easily travel from one place to another and this bridges the gap among different races or cultures. (换作现在分词短语:Nowadays, we can easily travel from one place to another, thus bridging the gap among different race or cultures.)

2. People worked together on the assembly line.(换作现在分词短语:People worked together on the assembly line, moving quickly and efficiently.) 使用定语从句

定语从句的使用,不仅能使上下文更加流畅,也同时能充分展示写作者运用较复杂的语法结构的能力。例如:

1. My favorite living writer is Roddy Doyle. I think he is a genius. (使用定语从句:My favorite living writer is Roddy Doyle, who I think is a genius.)

2. My aunt bought me a book. The title of the book is All about USA. (使用定语从句:My aunt bought me a book, whose title is All about the USA.) 连接性副词

连接性副词也被称为过渡词。它们的位置一般以句首居多。连接性副词承上启下,能够令读者对后续的句子产生心理上的期待和准备,因此整个篇章会因它们而紧凑连贯。常见的连接性副词有:also, furthermore, in addition, additionally, hopefully, meanwhile, however, instead, in other words, in brief, in a word, in my opinion, on the whole等等。例如: 1. We have many things to do. We believe we can finish before the day is over. (使用连接性副词:We have quite a lot to do. Hopefully, we will be able to finish before the day is over.)

2. The boy comes from a poor family. The boy does very well in his studies. The boy plans to work his way through college. (使用连接性副词:Even though he comes from a poor family, the boy does very well in his studies; furthermore, he plans to work his way through college.) 使用从属连词

常见的从属连词有after, as, when, while, as long as, as soon as等。例如:

1. You work hard and never give up. You will succeed in your studies. (使用从属连词:So long as you work hard, you will succeed in your studies.)

2. The teacher came in. the students were quiet. (使用从属连词:The students were quiet as soon as the teacher came in.)

体裁和题材对得性的要求

不同体裁和题材的文章有不同的用语要求。比如,书面通知中就不适合用“I will tell you a piece of good news.”或“May I have your attention, please?”等句子。这些句子只有在口头通知中才算得体的语句。

2003年高考的书面表达要求“你”给一位外国朋友回信,介绍“你”帮他找的一套出租房。相当一部分考生没有理解“你”与说话对象的关系,所以话语中没有给对方提出异议的余地,叙述的方式和口吻上缺乏礼貌性,像“The house is very suitable for you.”等语句显得相当主观,若改为“Do you think it is suitable for you? If not, I will try again.”就比较得体。

另外, 英语中还有正式语和非正式语,书面语和口头语之分。写作前,还应该认真分析题目的体裁,根据不同的体裁,确定用语的类别。正式用语或书面语的句子结构严格遵循语法规则,所采用的单词使用频率不是很高,比如:permit, inform, discover, depart等词都属于正式用语;而非正式用语或口头用语则较多地使用短语,所采用的单词使用频率高,也比较短。比如let, tell, find out, leave等等。费正式用语也经常使用简略语或缩略词。
