雅思考试考官评分标准中后一项GRA (grammatical range and accuracy),明确考察的是学生写
英语句子多样性和准确性的能力,即测试考生简单句和复杂句的综合运用能力。考生也知道句式表达要多样性,但很难参透具体如何操作才能让自己的句子丰富多样,结果是普遍句式比较单一,写到复杂结构时往往就是堆斥各种从句,似乎除了从句再无其它复杂结构可写。
事实上,剑桥考官的范文中,复杂句的数量寥寥可数,很多时候都是把简单句进行了华丽的包装,今天就来看看考官喜欢的“高分句型”是什么样的,和你想象的是不是有差距!
1,状语前置
所谓状语前置就是把状语(副词,介词短语,分词,不定式)放到句首。考官会频繁使用这种语法结构,而很多考生却没有意识,这种句式通过一堆长句子中出现一个小短语,可以让句子产生长短结合的紧凑感,实例如下:
1)
Unfortunately, professionals from other fields who makea much greatercontributionto human society, are paid somuch lessthat it is hard to disagree with the statement.
2)
Obviously, education systems are basedon thebelief that all children can effectively be taught to acquiredifferent skills.
3)
Like self-awareness, thisis also very difficult to achieve, but I think these are the two factors that may be most important for achieving happiness.
4)
As a result ofmedia attention, sports professionals in my country have become stars and celebrities.
5)
With thepolitical will, such measures could really reduce the amount of rubbish we produce.
2,句中插入短语
和状语前置类似,长句子中间插入一个小短语,可以让句子读起来更轻松灵活。考官实例如下:
1)
This will affect the job market, which,after all, is a key target in any economic plan.
2)
Sports stars and popstars, forexample, are soon replaced by the neat younger, more energetic generation.
3)
So overall, Ibelieve that, attending schools from a young age is good for most children.
4)
Universities, when itis functioning well, should offer both theoretical knowledge as well as professional training
3,倒装句
这种语法现象考生都学过,但往往在作文中忘记或没有意识使用。先看两个例子:
1)
Parentsshouldspendtimeontheirchildren.Theyshouldalsocommunicatewiththem.
2 )
Wecanneverlose sightofthesignificanceofeducation.这两个句子没有任何错误,但都很单调平淡,如果使用倒装,效果就不一样了。一句可以用notonlytalso句型来改写成倒装句:Notonlyshouldparentsspenttimeontheirchildren,theyarealso advisedtointeractwiththem.第二句可以否定词提前,强调突出“不可忽视”。
Onnoaccount/byno means/innoway/nevercanwelosesightofthesignificanceofeducation.
考官范文中的倒装例子并不多,主要体现在以下几种情况中:
1)
Onlyinthiswaycanthisproblembe effectivelysolved.
2)
Wecanseethatnotonlyaretherevery largedifferencesbetweentheseeconomies-s,butthatthesegapsarewidening.
3)
Strangeasitmayseem,parents’attentionsometimes hindersstudents’academicdevelopment.
4)
Equallyimportanttosuccessinlearningaforeign languageisconstantattentiontodetails.
考生在平时的语言积累和写作练习中,可以多模仿这几种固定句式,在文章中穿插1-2句倒装句。看到这里,烤鸭们不难发现,考官范文以及剑桥书后的高分范文里,各种复杂句式并不是高分的标准,对文章的整体把握,合理运用各种句型,保证文章的逻辑以及流畅性才是主要的。当然语法结构正确也是必不可少的评分标准之一!
