●倒装句:只须句中有介词短语或状语从句,便可将它提前,变成倒装句。

●巧妙地用非谓语动词:可以将状语从句或并列的动词简化为非谓语动词。

●恰如其分的被动句:合适应用于较简短的句子,如此看上去语言简洁生动,宾语一般是nothing、anything、everything等不定代词。

●感叹句:一般用于开头结尾活跃文章氛围,但凡“I feel ……”之类表达感情的句子皆可这样改造。

●“数词+名词”变为“as many as+数词+名词”。

●适合加一些不关痛痒的插入语:一些连词、副词可以放到句子中间充当语气较弱的插入语,如I guess、however、in a way、certainly、in my opinion、probably、briefly, generally speaking, believe it or not, besides, what’s more等,有时可以考虑几个插入语连用,就更像英美人士的文章了。
●独立主格:将主从句去掉连词,前句动词变为分词即可。
The weather being fine, a large number of people went to climb the Western Hills.
●把简单句改成复合句:适合的时候把两个简单句改成“too….to…”或者“so…that…”等高级一点的复合句。比如:
I was very tired. I couldn’t keep up with them.大家可以改成:I was so tired that I couldn’t keep up with them.或:I was too tired to keep up with them.
如此一来,英语基础不怎么样的学生只须可以写出最基本的句子,然后再对这类句子进行加工、改造、润色,慢慢的,就会让句子靓起来,在高考考试中就能得到比较认可的成绩。
