怎樣提高英語寫作的技巧
(三)多用過渡詞
過渡詞往往指一些副詞、連詞、介詞短語和非謂語動(dòng)詞短語等,恰當(dāng)?shù)厥褂每杀苊饨Y(jié)構(gòu)松散,層次不明,表意不清等弊端,使文章條理清楚,文字連貫流暢。
以下文字若不考慮過渡詞,一口氣讀下去,同學(xué)們就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)有語意松散不明,囫圇吞棗的感覺,因此不妨試著填上恰當(dāng)?shù)倪^渡詞,體驗(yàn)一下沒有過渡詞的文章。
As we all know,we are what we eat ,it is very important to form healthy eating habits. ,bad eating habits are still very common among us students, going to school without breakfast,having snacks,being particular about food and eating or drinking too much. All these bad habits will surely do harm to our health. how can we form a healthy eating habit? ,we should have various healthy diets. ,we’d better have meals regularly,Only in this way can we build up a strong body.
參考答案:Therefore,However,like I such as,But,F(xiàn)irst(ly),Second(ly)
想要正確運(yùn)用過渡詞,首先要積累,然后才能區(qū)別、比較相近的詞匯。
(1)總結(jié)、歸類、記憶過渡詞。常用過渡詞見下表。

(2)留心篇章中的過渡詞。標(biāo)記在范文或閱讀篇章中出現(xiàn)的過渡詞,背誦和朗讀時(shí)留意其使用的語境,并思考什么時(shí)候用這個(gè)詞或短語。
(3)練習(xí)詞語的替換。很多過渡詞都有同義詞可以互換使用,如:firstly,secondly,thirdly...和in the first place,in the second place,in the third place...等。
(四)同義詞·多變換
·巧用高級(jí)詞匯
在高考書面表達(dá)最高檔的評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)中,使用高級(jí)詞匯是其中一項(xiàng)重要的衡量標(biāo)準(zhǔn),因此要想取得高分,就必須使用一定的高級(jí)詞匯來增加文章的亮點(diǎn),提高文章的檔次。
許多同學(xué)一聽“高級(jí)”二字,就倍感壓力,缺乏信心,不敢嘗試。其實(shí)這只不過是換個(gè)詞來表達(dá),李四換張三罷了。例如,表示“出發(fā)去上海”之意時(shí),可用“leave for Shanghai”“set out for Shanghai”來替換“go to Shanghai”。表示“高興”一意,考生一般會(huì)馬上想到happy,好一些的會(huì)想到glad,但若用到delighted或cheerful,閱卷老師看見本篇書面表達(dá)詞匯量大、語言豐富,那就更容易給高分。
【例句】 33年前唐山發(fā)生了一場(chǎng)可怕的地震。
原句:A terrible earthquake happened in Tangshan 33 years ago.
修改:A terrible earthquake hit/struck Tangshan 33 years ago.
【例句】 我突然想到了一個(gè)好主意。
原句:I suddenly had a good idea.
修改:A good idea occurred to me.
【例句】 我們會(huì)盡力保護(hù)好我們的環(huán)境。
原句:We will try our best to protect the environment.
修改:We will spare no effort to protect the environment.
溫馨提示:為了在寫作中成功地使用高級(jí)詞匯,除了要克服不敢用的心理,還要求同學(xué)們?cè)诜e累詞匯時(shí),做個(gè)有心人,注意詞性,尤其是較復(fù)雜的詞匯。一個(gè)很好的應(yīng)對(duì)方法就是不單獨(dú)背單詞,而是記詞組或句子,并標(biāo)清詞性?,F(xiàn)仍以aware和awareness為例,例如:
be aware(adj.)of sth.意識(shí)到……
be aware that...意識(shí)到……
make sb.aware of sth.使某人意識(shí)到……
raise one’s awareness(n.) about sth.提高某人某方面的意識(shí)
高級(jí)詞匯的巧妙使用如畫龍點(diǎn)睛之筆,無疑會(huì)讓閱卷老師動(dòng)情、動(dòng)心、動(dòng)容,給個(gè)高分也是隨手的事了,因此同學(xué)們不妨現(xiàn)在準(zhǔn)備一個(gè)詞匯本,多多積累些高級(jí)詞匯,以備不時(shí)之需。做筆記的時(shí)候,記得按照以上方法記錄,并且把高級(jí)詞匯對(duì)應(yīng)的“低級(jí)”詞匯寫出來,以便對(duì)照。
