硕士研究生考试写作技巧
(一)多变句式原则
1.并列句
要想写出保险的长句,可以在具有并列或顺承关系的句子间加and。例如:
I enjoy music and he is fond of playing guitar.
其他可用词汇:besides,furthermore,likewise,moreover
2.转折句
转折连词前后两部分意思相反,内容相对。例如:
The car was quite old, yet it was in excellent condition.
其他可用词汇:however,while,otherwise
3.排比句
如果要让你的文章更加精彩,那么运用排比句,多个不定式,多个短语和单词,会使文章具有气势。例如:
We have got to study hard, to enlarge our scope of knowledge, to realize our potentials and to pay for our life. It was then that I realized the importance of learning English.
4.被动句
适用于较简短的句子,这样显得语言简洁生动,宾语一般是nothing,anything,everything等不定代词。例如:
Searched all my pockets, but nothing was found.
5.倒装句
句中有介词短语或状语从句,便可将其提前,成倒装句。例如:
Only when I turned left at the crossing did that car rush towards me.
Only by this means can he escape from the big fire.
6.高级定语从句
若定语从句中的动词带介词,介词可在先行词后。例如:
We came to a place to which they had never paid a visit before.
7.独立主格
将主从句去掉连词,前句动词变为分词即可。例如:
The weather being fine, a large number of people went to the Great Wall.
8.强调句
可以将时间、地点、原因、方式等状语从句转成强调句。例如:
It was not until I arrived home that I realized I had left the suitcase on the shop counter.
(二)主题句原则
主题句是对全文的概括,是文章的主旨,它能在文章中起到“画龙点睛”的作用。通常主题句在文章的开头,而后,全文对主题句所提出的内容进行解释、扩展。
写主题句应注意以下几点:
1.归纳出你要写的文章的几个要点;
2.提炼出一句具有概括性的话;
3.主题句应具有可读性,能够抓住、吸引读者。
(三)文章要有层次
考官们批作文会通过关键性的“标签”来判断文章的结构是否合理。考生只要把下面的词汇加入到你的作文主体中就会有事半功倍的效果。
1. first and foremost, besides, last but not least(强烈推荐)
2.most important of all,moreover,finally(强烈推荐)
3. on the one hand, on the other hand(推荐:适用于两点的情况)
4. for one thing, for another thing(推荐:适用于两点的情况)
5. to start with, next, in addition, finally(一般推荐)
6. to begin with, then, furthermore, finally(一般推荐)
7.firstly,secondly,thirdly,finally(不推荐:大家都会)
8. in the first place, in the second place, in the third place, lastly(不推荐:大家都会)
9.first,second,third,last(不推荐:大家都会)
