高考：如何寫出英文作文得分的“亮點”2

3. 通過分句和合句,增強句子的連貫性和表現力。例如:

(原文) He stopped us an hour ago. He made us catch the next offender.

(修正) He stopped us half an hour ago and made us catch the next offender.

(原文) We had a short rest. Then we began to play happily. We sang and danced.

(修正) After a short rest, we had great fun singing and dancing.

4. 注意連線詞與句子的運用。

以2001年高考作文為例,在信的開頭,可加上“You want to know something about what is going on in schools in China?”這句話起承上啟下的作用,使文章過渡自然;再如,用“What was worse?”引出減負前,晚上還要做作業,就寢時間11:30等要點。又如,“Now I have more free time...” 可引出減負後的情況。另外,在信的結尾,可用“How about you? I’m looking forward to hearing from you.”來自然地結束這封信。

5. 使用過渡詞語。

寫好了每個句子,並不一定就是一篇好文章,因為作為一篇文章,還必須行文連貫。那么,如何使文章行文連貫呢?這就要求我們在組成篇章時,要用好過渡性詞語,過渡性詞語就像是我們組裝機械時使用的潤滑劑一樣,起著潤滑的作用。常用的過渡詞語主要有:

並列遞進:and, also, as well as, besides, what’s more, furthermore, moreover, etc.

轉折:but, yet, however, although, nevertheless, in spite of, after all, etc.

因果:because, as, for, since, for this reason, because of, so, therefore, thus, as a result, etc.

對比:or, otherwise, like, unlike, on the contrary, while, on the other hand, instead of, etc.

總結:in all, in brief, on the whole, in short, in general, in one word, etc.

總之,要使文章的層次高,可讀性強,考生應增加些較高級的辭彙與複雜的結構,並運用恰當的連線詞和複合句,只有這樣,才能在考試中取得理想的成績。
