方法一,首先注重文章的开始句 、主题句、承转句和结尾句,它会吸引阅卷老师的注意。改变句子的开头方式,把状语置于句首,如:将The boy is very hungry and he hurried home.改为Hungry,the boy hurried home.
方法二,使用多样化、复杂而高级的词汇,避免重复使用词汇,词汇反映你知识贮存量的多少,也是衡量英语水平的一个重要标志,体现了作者驾驭语言的能力,所以要注意使用词组、习语谚语、表强调的高级词汇代替一些单词,以增加文采。如:将I had a good idea. 改为A good idea occurred to / struck / came to me.或者I came up with a good idea.
有时一篇作文里会多次出现某一词时,这时表达方式的变化(用不同的单词或词组表达相同的意义),使词汇运用丰富多彩,章法灵活。如分析原因(一句多译):Several factors /reasons contribute to/ lead to / result in / cause/ be responsible for/ account for such changes。词语转换可以考虑:(1)词性转换;(2)另选其它词来释义;(3)同义词和反义词转换;(4)前缀和后缀转换。
方法三,尝试多样化表达,运用诸如倒装句、强调句、主从复合句、分词状语、with 复合结构等复杂句式,如:Though he is wealthy,he works hard .Wealthy as he is,he works hard. In spite of /Despite his wealth,he works hard. He didn’t get up until 7 o’clock. It was not until 7 o’clock that he got up. 灵活运用丰富的句式,巧妙的改写,改变结构,运用得当的句子结构可以给文章增色,文采凸显。
方法四,巧妙使用连接词。使用恰当连接词,对写一篇有“英语味”的文章很重要,它能使文章上下衔接自然、紧凑。如表示时间关系:To begin with …/ Several days ago…,Then…,Later…,表示递进关系:Besides/ Apart from that/ What’s more/ In addition/ What’s worse/ Even worse/ Worse still/ To make matters worse...表示平行、对等或选择关系and,both…and,as well as,together with,neither…nor,also,not only…but also,either…or,as well.表示因果关系:since,as,so,thus,because (of),so that,due to,as a consequence,in consequence/ As a result/ Therefore…等。
