在教學(xué)過程中,強(qiáng)調(diào)讓學(xué)生多寫單句,單句寫好了,復(fù)雜句也會寫。這個(gè)做法可能和大部分的老師是相反的。但這個(gè)教學(xué)方法基于一個(gè)簡單的道理:雅思考官不好蒙騙。你一個(gè)復(fù)雜句如果寫的不對,考官馬上可以看出來,分?jǐn)?shù)馬上就會降低。因此,踏實(shí)寫好簡單句,分?jǐn)?shù)更加容易提高。
只有當(dāng)你熟悉單句后,才可以將句子連接起來。
方法1:如果兩個(gè)簡單句沒有因果關(guān)系,基本上是兩個(gè)獨(dú)立的事情,往往可以簡單地用and相連。
舉例:Children are not sensitive to prices and parents prefer to satisfy their needs。
方法2:如果兩個(gè)簡單句有一定的因果關(guān)系,往往可以用狀語從句相連。
一般來說,if 和when引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句(也有一定因果關(guān)系,只是不那么強(qiáng))
舉例:If advertising campaigns directed at children are regulated, children will not pester their parents to buy many goods for them。
Since, as, because, so等引導(dǎo)原因或者結(jié)果狀語從句,表示比較強(qiáng)的因果關(guān)系
舉例:some children like fast food since they are overwhelmed by fast food advertisements every day。
方法3:如果狀語從句怕重復(fù),可以用and(或者;)+連接詞的方式
有很多連接詞because of this, as a result of this, consequently, as a consequence 等,都是表示因果關(guān)系。
舉例:some children are addicted to violent video games, and because of this, they can show aggression and bully their peers at school。
方法4:如果第一個(gè)單句的最后一個(gè)單詞和第二個(gè)單句的第一個(gè)單詞重復(fù),可以用定語從句連接。
舉例:Children are increasingly temperamental due to their addiction to violent electronic games. These games are normally promoted by advertising firms。
可以改成:Children are increasingly temperamental due to their addiction to violent electronic games, which are normally promoted by advertising firms。
方法5:如果第二個(gè)單句是第一個(gè)單句的結(jié)果,有可能使用非限制性定語從句
舉例:Advertisements have given a lot of information about products. This enables parents to make well-informed buying decisions。
可以改成:Advertisements have given a lot of information about products, which can help parents to make well-informed buying decisions。
簡而言之,不要嫌棄簡單句,簡單句寫熟了,復(fù)雜句很容易寫。
