在新托福写作中,考生如果一味追求长句难句可能会破坏句子的可读性,特别是对于一些基础薄弱的考生来说,有时候长句的运用反而不熟练。南京新托福培训——朗阁的老师告诉大家新托福作文要注意语句可读性,希望大家注意。 建议一:选择 恰当的语法结构 选择合适的语法结构可以使句子意思的表达为精确和简练。虽然语法的多样性也很重要,但选择 恰当的语法结构仍然是为重要的考虑因素。以下,将推荐几种考生们在考虑选择何种语法结构时可以参考的原则: 1. 用为精确的一个动词来代替动词短语,例如下面这句话: My grandfather didn’t have time to stand around doing nothing with his school friends. Stand around doing nothing其实可以用一个动词来表达,即loiter: My grandfather didn’t have time to loiter with his school friends. 2. 一个句子的主语和谓语动词应该能够反映句子中的 重要的意思。例如: The situation that resulted in my grandfather’s not being able to study engineering was that his father needed help on the farm. 从意思上来分析,上面这句话需要表达的重要的概念是“grandfather’s not being able to study”,而在表达这个概念时,原句用的主语是situation,谓语动词是was,不能强调需要表达的重点概念,可以改为下面这句话 My grandfather couldn’t study engineering because his father needed help on the farm. 3. 避免频繁使用“there be”结构,例如下面的句子: There were 25 cows on the farm that my grandfather had to milk every day. It was hard work for my grandfather. (责任编辑:admin) |
