在谈到雅思考试写作的的评分标准中,其关键在于最后一项“Grammatical Ranges &Accuracy”的正确把握和理解,此项评分标准考察考生写英语句子的能力。它体现在两点上:多样性和准确性。这里就句子的多样性进行探讨。 句子的多样性取决于句子类型的丰富性,一篇文章能够熟练使用不同的句型。换句话说,它考察的是考生能否像当地居民(native speaker)一样写出地道的句子。它既考察考生简单句和复杂句的综合运用能力,还考察考生对不同的句型的掌握情况。根据专家的总结,这些高分的语法结构主要有以下几种: 1. 状语前置 状语前置就是把一个修饰动词的状语结构,如介词短语,分词形式或动词不定式引导的短语放到句首。雅思写作中状语前置是很拿分的句式,不过很多考生都没意识到这一点。 请看下面从剑桥提供的范文中节选的句子: 1) Like self-awareness, this is also very difficult to achieve, but I think these are the two factors that may be the most important for achieving happiness。 2) Throughout the century, the largest quantity of water was used for agricultural purposes。 3)With a population of 176 million, the figures for Brazil indicate how high agricultural water consumption can be in some countries。 使用状语前置的最大优点是让单调的句子有了跳跃的节奏感。考官一天看上百张考卷,看到这样的句子也会心情愉悦。 注意:插入语 此种语法结构是可以理解为是状语前置的另一种变体,它将状语结构提到了主句的主语和谓语之间。插入语也是相对地道的英语表达方法。请看以下几例: 1)Universities, when it is ning well, should offer both theoretical knowledge as well as professional training。 2)So overall, I believe that, attending school from a young age is good for most children。 插入语的功能和状语前置基本相似,都能使句子更有跳跃感和地道。 2. 倒装句 即把谓语提前到主语之前,用在作文中比较新颖。 我们先来看以下几个例子: 1). The parents should spend time on their children, they should also communicate with them。 2). We can never lose sight of the significance of education。 以上两句话都没有任何错误,但是读来非常平淡,没有任何特色,如果我们用倒装句,出来的效果就完全不一样了。 1). Not only should parents spend time on their children, they are also advised to interact with them。 2). On no account / by no means / in no way can we lose sight of the significance of education。 3. 强调句 It is … that … / It is … who …正是…导致了 以下是考官写的一句话: 1. It is the interaction of the two that shapes a person’s personality and dictates how that personality develops。
