英语写作十大“加分”句型

   句型一  分词作状语

 

Moved by the kids, I decided to donate all my money to them.

被孩子们感动了,我决定把我所有的钱都捐给他们。

 

Seeing Dad working so hard, I could not help bursting into tears.

看到父亲工作这么辛苦,我忍不住怆然泪下。

 

点评:分词作状语可以用来替代时间、条件、原因等状语从句,让文章显得更加简洁,同时功底更深。

 

分词作状语的用法:当状语从句的主语与主句的主语一样时,可直接省略从句的主语,并把从句的谓语改成分词(主动语态改成现在分词,被动语态改成过去分词),从而构成分词作状语结构。

 

【例1】When I see Dad working so hard, I could not help bursting into tears.

→ Seeing Dad working so hard, I could not help bursting into tears.

 

【例2】Because I was moved by the kids in Wenchuan, I decided to donate all my money to them.

→ Moved by the kids in Wenchuan, I decided to donate all my money to them.

 

 

句型二 副词提前

 

Obviously, one of the best ways to keep healthy is to do sports.

显然,保持健康最好的方法之一是做运动。

 

Eventually, every child will leave home to lead his own life as a fully independent adult.

最终,每一个孩子都会离开家庭去过自己的生活,成为一个完全独立的成年人。

 

点评:如果要选一种最让人心生感触的句型,副词提前的做法即使不是最好,也是之一了。前置的副词让作者还没说出具体的事件,内心的想法已经呼之欲出。这正是这种无比简单的语法现象所焕发出的魅力所在。

除了提升情感效果之外,副词提前也是让文章结构清晰的一个非常好的办法。我们常用的firstly, furthermore, finally等等所谓的“逻辑词”都是属于这一种类型,同学们要时刻想着去用它。

 

注意事项:用来提前的必须是——副词!

 

除了上面给出来的2个例句之外,再分享一篇作文里一个较难的句子,作文题目是“我最难忘的回忆”。

【例】Oddly enough, my most precious memory lies in the days when I was ill in hospital...

非常奇怪的是,我最珍贵的回忆发生在我生病住院的那些日子里。

 

 

句型三 动名词作主语

 

Listening to music enables us to feel relaxed.

听音乐可以让我们感觉放松。

 

Doing exercise keeps us healthy.

做运动让我们保持健康。

 

点评:动名词做主语是最简单的一种加分句型了,非常容易掌握。

 

注意事项:如果主语只有一个动作,谓语动词要用单数第三人称!

 

大家可能觉得上面给出来的两个例句并不是十分精彩,但是动名词作主语只要合理使用,还是会让人眼前一亮的。请看下句:

【例】Besides, taking some small sports equipment along with you can help you do exercise whenever you are free.

另外,随身携带一些小型运动器械可以让你利用任何空闲的时间来运动。

 

 

句型四 强调句

It is in recent years that people begin to realize the importance of environmental protection.

最近这些年人们才开始意识到保护环境的重要性。

 

点评:强调句型是一种规律性极强、非常好用的高级句型,有利于增进文章的感情色彩。

 

强调句型的基本模式:It is / was + 句子要强调的部分 + that + 句子中剩余的部分。

  

例如,原本我们想写的句子是:Eric found a beautiful vase in the cave.

要强调主语Eric,则为It was Eric that found a beautiful vase in the cave.

要强调宾语a beautiful vase,则为 It was a beautiful vase that Eric found in the cave.

 

 

  句型五 同位语or同位语从句

 

Beijing, the capital of China, has a great many places of interest.

北京是中国的首都,有很多的旅游景点。

 

The fact is clear that our planet is becoming warmer and warmer.

很显然,地球正在变暖。

 

点评:相比于前几种闪光句型,同位语和同位语从句就要复杂一点了,尤其是同位语从句要复杂一些。当同位语从句被合理使用,尤其是和排比句一起使用的时候,所产生的效果是震撼性的。

 

同位语从句的基本结构是:抽象名词+ that + 抽象名词的内容(从句)+主句剩余部分。

 

【例】I have just recieved the message that a serious earthquake struck a county of Taiwan yesterday.

我刚收到一个消息:昨天台湾某县发生了严重的地震。

 

关于同位语从句的效果,且看《独立宣言》中的名句:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

我们认为以下事实是不言自明的:人生而平等,并拥有不可分割的权利,包括拥有生命的权利、获得自由的权利以及追求幸福的权利。

 

 

句型六 经典句型

 

这些句型有三个特点:

1.专业。这些句型都是经过验证的在议论文中经常使用的套话,使用这些句型显得比较专业。

2. 万金油。这些句型经过前人的实践发现非常容易使用,只要往自己写好的句子上硬套就行,甚至对时态语态都无特殊要求,如同万金油一样。

3. 无意义。这些句型本身并没有什么特殊含义,只是辅助一下预期或让表意更严谨一点,有它无它对语义影响其实不大。

 

这些句型包括:

There is no denying that + 陈述句

不可否认……

There is no doubt that + 陈述句

毫无疑问……

Needless to say, 陈述句    

不用多说,……

It is widely accepted that + 陈述句

众所周知……

As is known to all, 陈述句

众所周知,……

From my point of view, 陈述句    

我个人认为,……

Personally, 陈述句    

我个人认为,……

As far as I am concerned, 陈述句

我个人认为,……

As far as I know, 陈述句    

据我所知,……

When it comes to …, 陈述句    

说到……

 

鉴于句型太多,就不一一举例子了,大家只要把自己想说的话放到“陈述句”那一部分就可以了。记住,剩余的部分一点都不要改,包括逗号!

 

举个例子,一般我们会说:

Mr Zhang is the most handsome teacher in the world.

点评:这句显得很普通,但是如果我们使用经典句型的话,就会显得高级一点。

 

【例】As is known to all Mr Zhang is the most handsome teacher in the world.

众所周知,张老师是世界上最帅的老师。

 

【例】As far as I am concerned, Mr Zhang is the most handsome teacher in the world.

我个人认为,张老师是世界上最帅的老师。

 

 

句型七 巧用as

 

As winter comes, more and more leaves fall off the trees, yellow and sad.

随着冬天的来临,越来越多悲伤地黄叶从树上落下。

 

The pollution is getting worse as the economy develops.

随着经济的发展,污染正在变得更加严重。

 

Mom’s hair is not as black as it used to be.

妈妈的头发不再像过去一样乌黑亮丽。

 

点评:

① 当,随着

as time goes by   随着时间的流逝

② 作为

regard A as B   把A当做B

as a result   结果是……

③ 正如,就像

as we all know/ as everyone knows  

正如我们都知道的

as we had expected  

正如我们期待的那样

as is know to all  众所周知

as is mentioned before正如前面所提到的

as the saying goes  就像谚语说的那样

as it turns out  正如结果所展示的那样

④ 因为

⑤ 比较

as ... as it used to  和过去一样……

 

 

句型八 定语从句

 

The man, who is called father by me, is trying to ensure us a better life with all his effort.

那个被我称作父亲的人,正在竭尽全力为我们提供更好的生活。

 

I seldom waste any time during the classes, which helps me to be highly efficient while studying.

在课堂上,我很少浪费任何时间,这有助于我在学习的时候更加高效。

 

点评:在评分过程当中,一般来说,文章中只要有一个正确使用的定语从句,且没有其他的硬伤,会给上1分的文采分。

 

 

句型九 倒装句

 

Only when I noticed the grey hairs did I realized that Mum was getting old.

只在我注意到那一丝丝白发的时候,我才意识到,妈妈已经老了。

 

Not only do we collect information about the animals in danger, but we also post the information on the Internet.

我们不仅收集濒危动物的信息,还把这些信息发布在网上。

 

Never will I forget the days that I spent with my friends.

我永远不会忘了和朋友们在一起的日子。

 

So moved was I that I lost my tongue.

我太激动了以至于说不出话来。

 

点评:倒装句已经是“必杀”级别的闪光句型了,只要能正确使用,必然能获得文采分。很多同学对倒装句有着天然的畏惧心理,以为倒装句一定很复杂。事实上倒装句渗透着英语的各个方面,我们日常生活动使用的there be句型甚至一些简单的交际用语都是倒装句。当然there be句型并不算闪光句型。

 

4种倒装句:

1. Only 倒装

句式:Only + 状语 + 一般疑问句.

例句:Only in this way can we improve our English. 只有用这种方法我们才能提高英语。

 

2. Not only ... but also 倒装

句式:Not only + 一般疑问句,but (also) + 陈述句.

例句:Not only did we play basketball together, but we also talked for a while. 我们不仅一起打了篮球,还聊了一会。

 

3. Never和Seldom 倒装

句式:Never / Seldom + 一般疑问句

例句:Seldom have I seen him recently. 我最近很少见到他。

 

4. So / Such ...that 倒装

句式:So + adj / adv + 一般疑问句+ that + 陈述句;Such + 名词性短语 +一般疑问句+that+陈述句

例句:So handsome is Jack that everyone likes him.

Such a handsome man is Jack that everyone likes him.

 

 

句型十 虚拟语气

 

If I were you, I would help my parents do more housework.

如果我是你的话,我会帮我爸妈做更多的家务.

 

If only I could stay at school forever.

要是我能永远留在学校就好了。

 

点评:估计有不少同学看到“虚拟语气”四个字都会被吓到。是的,虚拟语气太难了。可是作为十大闪光句型的压轴之作,恐怕也只有虚拟语气能担此重任。

 

这里给大家讲两个最简单的虚拟语气,同学们套用即可,等充分理解了这两句,以后再深入学习不迟。

 

1. If I were you, I would ....   

如果我是你的话,我就会……

把你想说的话放在I would 后面就行了。注意前面只能用were。

 

2.  If only I could ...   

如果我能……就好了。
