1. 狀語(yǔ)前置
狀語(yǔ)前置就是把一個(gè)修飾動(dòng)詞的狀語(yǔ)結(jié)構(gòu),如介詞短語(yǔ),分詞形式或動(dòng)詞不定式引導(dǎo)的短語(yǔ)放到句首。雅思寫(xiě)作中狀語(yǔ)前置是很拿分的句式,不過(guò)很多考生都沒(méi)意識(shí)到這一點(diǎn)。
請(qǐng)看下面從劍橋提供的范文中節(jié)選的句子:
1) Like self-awareness, this is also very difficult to achieve, but I think these are the two factors that may be the most important for achieving happiness.
2) Throughout the century, the largest quantity of water was used for agricultural purposes.
3) With a population of 176 million, the figures for Brazil indicate how high agricultural water consumption can be in some countries.
使用狀語(yǔ)前置的最大優(yōu)點(diǎn)是讓單調(diào)的句子有了跳躍的節(jié)奏感??脊僖惶炜瓷习?gòu)埧季?,看到這樣的句子也會(huì)心情愉悅。
注意:插入語(yǔ)
此種語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)是可以理解為是狀語(yǔ)前置的另一種變體,它將狀語(yǔ)結(jié)構(gòu)提到了主句的主語(yǔ)和謂語(yǔ)之間。插入語(yǔ)也是相對(duì)地道的英語(yǔ)表達(dá)方法。請(qǐng)看以下幾例:
1) Universities, when it is functioning well, should offer both theoretical knowledge as well as professional training.
2) So overall, I believe that, attending school from a young age is good for most children.
語(yǔ)的功能和狀語(yǔ)前置基本相似,都能使句子更有跳躍感和地道。

2. 倒裝句
我們先來(lái)看以下幾個(gè)例子:
1) The parents should spend time on their children, they should also communicate with them.
2) We can never lose sight of the significance of education.
以上兩句話都沒(méi)有任何錯(cuò)誤,但是讀來(lái)非常平淡,沒(méi)有任何特色,如果我們用倒裝句,出來(lái)的效果就完全不一樣了。
1) Not only should parents spend time on their children, they are also advised to interact with them.
2) On no account / by no means / in no way can we lose sight of the significance of education.
當(dāng)然在平時(shí)教學(xué)和備課的過(guò)程中我們還是要不斷積累各式各樣的倒裝句句式進(jìn)行替換,靈活運(yùn)用。

3. 強(qiáng)調(diào)句
It is… that… / It is… who…正是…導(dǎo)致了
以下是考官寫(xiě)的一句話:
1. It is the interaction of the two that shapes a person‘s personality and dictates how that personality develops.
強(qiáng)調(diào)句是考生比較難把握的一種句型,容易和it引導(dǎo)的形式主語(yǔ)相混淆,但其實(shí)我們只要找到強(qiáng)調(diào)句的一個(gè)特點(diǎn),即去掉It is… that… / It is… who…仍然是一個(gè)完整的句子。
通過(guò)以上三種句式結(jié)構(gòu)的介紹,考生就能輕松給簡(jiǎn)單句穿上外衣進(jìn)行包裝了,這樣表達(dá)同樣的意思用不同的句式結(jié)構(gòu),出來(lái)的效果完全不一樣。在筆者平時(shí)在 朗閣課堂的教學(xué)中,這幾個(gè)句型幫助學(xué)生突破了如何寫(xiě)好句子的瓶頸。下面我們來(lái)看一句話分別用不同的三種表達(dá)方法,明顯改變了效果。
