雅思考試的作文復(fù)習(xí)技巧
1：長(zhǎng)短句原則
寫一個(gè)短小精辟的句子，可以起到畫龍點(diǎn)睛的作用。把短句放在段首或者段末，也可以揭示主題：
As a creature， I eat; as a man， I read. Although one action is to meet the primary need of my body and the other is to satisfy the intellectual need of mind， they are in a way quite similar.
PS：在文章第一段(開頭)用一長(zhǎng)一短，且先長(zhǎng)后短;在文章主體部分，要先用一個(gè)短句解釋主要意思，然后在闡述幾個(gè)要點(diǎn)的時(shí)候采用先短后長(zhǎng)的句群形式，定會(huì)讓主體部分妙筆生輝!文章結(jié)尾一般用一長(zhǎng)一短就可以了。
2：主題句原則
國(guó)有其君，家有其主，文章也要有其主，否則會(huì)給人造成“群龍無(wú)首”的感覺(jué)!相信各位讀過(guò)一些破爛文學(xué)，故意把主體隱藏在文章之內(nèi)，結(jié)果造成我們稀里糊涂不知所云!所以一定要寫一個(gè)主題句，放在文章的開頭(保險(xiǎn)型)或者結(jié)尾，讓讀者一目了然!
PS：隱藏主題句可是要冒險(xiǎn)的!
To begin with， you must work hard at your lessons and be fully prepared before the exam(主題句). Without sufficient preparation， you can hardly expect to answer all the questions correctly。
3：一二三原則
領(lǐng)導(dǎo)講話總是第一部分、第一點(diǎn)、第二點(diǎn)、第三點(diǎn)、第二部分、第一點(diǎn)…，雖然啰嗦但還是條理清楚�？脊賯兛次恼乱脖厝灰ㄟ^(guò)這些關(guān)鍵性的“標(biāo)簽”來(lái)判定你的文章是否結(jié)構(gòu)清楚，條理自然。破解方法很簡(jiǎn)單，只要把下面任何一組的詞匯加入到你的幾個(gè)要點(diǎn)前就清楚了。
1)to begin with， then， furthermore， finally(強(qiáng)烈推薦)
2)to start with， next， in addition， finally(強(qiáng)烈推薦)
3)first and foremost， besides， last but not least(強(qiáng)烈推薦)
4)most important of all， moreover， finally
5)on the one hand， on the other hand(適用于兩點(diǎn)的情況)
6)for one thing， for another thing(適用于兩點(diǎn)的情況)
PS：不僅僅在寫作中注意，平時(shí)說(shuō)話的時(shí)候也應(yīng)該條理清楚!
4：一二三短語(yǔ)優(yōu)先原則
寫作時(shí)，尤其是在考試時(shí)，如果使用短語(yǔ)，有兩個(gè)好處：其一、用短語(yǔ)會(huì)使文章增加亮點(diǎn)，如果老師們看到你的文章太簡(jiǎn)單，看不到一個(gè)自己不認(rèn)識(shí)的短語(yǔ)，必然會(huì)看你低一等。相反，如果發(fā)現(xiàn)亮點(diǎn)—精彩的短語(yǔ)，那么你的文章定會(huì)得高分了。其二、關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻思維短路，只有湊字?jǐn)?shù)，怎么辦?用短語(yǔ)是一個(gè)辦法!比如：
I cannot bear it.
可以用短語(yǔ)表達(dá)：I cannot put up with it.
I want it.
可以用短語(yǔ)表達(dá)：I am looking forward to it.
這樣字?jǐn)?shù)明顯增加，表達(dá)也更準(zhǔn)確。
5：多實(shí)少虛原則
原因很簡(jiǎn)單，寫文章還是應(yīng)該寫一些實(shí)際的東西，不要空話連篇。這就要求一定要多用實(shí)詞，少用虛詞。我這里所說(shuō)的虛詞就是指那些比較大的詞。比如我們說(shuō)一個(gè)很好的時(shí)候，不應(yīng)該說(shuō)nice這樣空洞的詞，應(yīng)該使用一些諸如generous， humorous， interesting， smart， gentle， warm-hearted， hospital 之類的形象詞。再比如：
走出房間，general的詞是：walk out of the room
但是小偷走出房間應(yīng)該說(shuō)：slip out of the room
小姐走出房間應(yīng)該說(shuō)：sail out of the room
小孩走出房間應(yīng)該說(shuō)：dance out of the room
老人走出房間應(yīng)該說(shuō)：stagger out of the room
所以多用實(shí)詞，少用虛詞，文章將會(huì)大放異彩!
6：多變句式原則
1)加法(串聯(lián))
都希望寫下很長(zhǎng)的句子，可就是怕寫錯(cuò)，怎么辦，最保險(xiǎn)的寫長(zhǎng)句的方法就是在任何句子之間加and，但最好是前后的句子又先后關(guān)系或者并列關(guān)系。比如說(shuō)：
I enjor music and he is fond of playing guitar.
如果是二者并列的，我們可以用一個(gè)超級(jí)句式：
Not only the fur coat is soft， but it is also warm.
其它的短語(yǔ)可以用：
besides， furthermore， likewise， moreover
2)轉(zhuǎn)折(拐彎抹角)
批評(píng)某人缺點(diǎn)的時(shí)候，我們總習(xí)慣先拐彎抹角說(shuō)說(shuō)他的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，然后轉(zhuǎn)入正題，再說(shuō)缺點(diǎn)，這種方式雖然陰險(xiǎn)了點(diǎn)，可畢竟還比較容易讓人接受。所以呢，我們說(shuō)話的時(shí)候，只要在要點(diǎn)之前先來(lái)點(diǎn)廢話，注意二者之間用個(gè)專這次就夠了。
The car was quite old， yet it was in excellent condition.
The coat was thin， but it was warm.
更多的短語(yǔ)：
despite that， still， however， nevertheless， in spite of， despite， notwithstanding
3)因果(so， so， so)
昨天在街上我看到了一個(gè)女孩，然后我主動(dòng)搭訕，然后我們?nèi)タХ葟d，然后我們認(rèn)識(shí)了，然后我們成為了朋友…可見(jiàn)，講故事的時(shí)候我們總要追求先后順序，先什么，后什么，所以然后這個(gè)詞就變得很常見(jiàn)了。其實(shí)這個(gè)詞表示的是先后或因果關(guān)系!
The snow began to fall， so we went home.
更多短語(yǔ)：
then， therefore， consequently， accordingly， hence， as a result， for this reason， so that
4)失衡句(頭重腳輕，或者頭輕腳重)
文章中如果出現(xiàn)這樣的句子，就更會(huì)讓考官看到你的`句子與眾不同。其實(shí)就是主語(yǔ)從句，表語(yǔ)從句，賓語(yǔ)從句的變形。
舉例：This is what I can do.Whether he can go with us or not is not sure.
同樣主語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ)、表語(yǔ)可以改成如下的復(fù)雜成分：
When to go， Why he goes away…
5)附加(多此一舉)
如果有了老婆，總會(huì)遇到這樣的情況，當(dāng)你再講某個(gè)人的時(shí)候，她會(huì)插一句說(shuō)，我昨天見(jiàn)過(guò)他;或者說(shuō)，就是某某某，如果把老婆的話插入到我們的話里面，那就是定語(yǔ)從句和同位語(yǔ)從句或者是插入語(yǔ)。
The man whom you met yesterday is a friend of mine.
I don’t enjoy that book you are reading.
其實(shí)很簡(jiǎn)單，同位語(yǔ)--要解釋的東西刪除后不影響整個(gè)句子的構(gòu)成;定語(yǔ)從句---借用之前的關(guān)鍵詞并且用其重新組成一個(gè)句子插入其中，但是whom or that 關(guān)鍵詞必須要緊跟在先行詞之前。
6)排比(排山倒海句)
文學(xué)作品中最吸引人的地方莫過(guò)于此，如果非要讓你的文章更加精彩的話，那么我希望你引用一個(gè)個(gè)的排比句，一個(gè)個(gè)得對(duì)偶句，一個(gè)個(gè)的不定式，一個(gè)個(gè)地詞，一個(gè)個(gè)的短語(yǔ)，如此表達(dá)將會(huì)使文章有排山倒海之勢(shì)!
Whether your tastes are modern or traditional， sophisticated or simple， there is plenty in London for you.
Nowadays， energy can be obtained through various sources such as oil， coal，natural gas， solar heat， the wind and ocean tides.
We have got to study hard， to enlarge our scope of knowledge， to realize
our potentials and to pay for our life. (氣勢(shì)恢宏)
要想寫出如此氣勢(shì)恢宏的句子非用排比不可!
7：挑戰(zhàn)極限原則
既然是挑戰(zhàn)極限，必然是比較難的，但是并非不可攀!
原理：在學(xué)生的文章中，很少發(fā)現(xiàn)諸如獨(dú)立主格的句子，其實(shí)也很簡(jiǎn)單，只要花上5分鐘的時(shí)間看看就可以領(lǐng)會(huì)，它就是分詞的一種特殊形式，分詞要求主語(yǔ)一致，而獨(dú)立主格則不然。
比如：
The weather being fine， a large number of people went to climb the Western Hills.
Africa is the second largest continent， its size being about three times that of China.
