英语写作句式变化:短句变长句
有很多同学都相当困惑,究竟什么样口味的句子才是ETS阅卷官们喜欢的呢?其实,在新托福写作中,终极口味为“具体具体再具体”,You cannot be more specific. 这也意味着,句子越细节,你的得分越高,但绝不是生搬硬套东拉西扯。所以本次讲解的核心技能就是扩充句子,使其获得由短变长的飞跃。究竟怎样扩充句子呢?有如下方式:
1. 增加并列成分;
2. 增加修饰成分;
3. 增加从句;
4. 增加连词;
如以下例句:
They grow long hair.
这个句子没有任何闪光点,我们利用以上扩充方法来修改这句话,变成了如下的句子:
They grow long hair, regardless of the gender, usually part of which is dyed in gold.
这句话就相当璀璨夺目,有修饰成分,也有从句。

这几个句子都是简单句,虽然表达的意思很清楚,但是明显没有满足ETS的口味偏好,下面我们将上述句子搭配成完整的复杂句。合并句子的准则为:同一个词汇可以合并,变成从句或修饰成分,例如“energy”、“people”。修改后的句子为:
Nuclear plants are a clean and economical way of producing vast amounts of much-needed energy; however people, especially local residents, who are very concerned about safety, hold a strong negative attitude toward them.
同理,做两个练****br/>修改前:Some people eed. Other people fail. The difference is not the number of opportunities. It is whether they can t
