下面為大家整理的是關(guān)于SAT寫作滿分需要避免的一些錯誤句式和相應(yīng)的可以應(yīng)用的正確句式對比。句式的掌握是大家備考SAT寫作考試中最重要的基礎(chǔ)部分,避免這些錯誤的句式才能對SAT寫作有更多更加靈活的應(yīng)用。
1. 有問題的SAT寫作句式列舉
考生在寫SAT寫作的時候,最容易在句式上出現(xiàn)三個問題:一是使用破碎句,二是使用接連句,三是句子連接不正確。
1). 破碎句
所謂破碎句,就是句子不完整,通常是沒有謂語(或者說謂語是動詞的非謂語形式,如分詞),或者是從句單獨成句。
破碎句:She singing alone. (無謂語,singing是現(xiàn)在分詞)
正確句:She is singing alone.
破碎句:He did not come. Because he was sick. (從句單獨成句)
正確句:He did not come because he was sick.
2).接連句
所謂接連據(jù),就是兩個句子直接連在一起,既未使用連詞,也未使用正確的標點符號。
接連句: Professionals such as lawyers or accountants usually work longer hours than factory workers they have greater freedom in planning their time.
正確句一: Professionals such as lawyers or accountants usually work longer hours than factory workers. However, they have greater freedom in planning their time.
正確句二: Professionals such as lawyers or accountants usually work longer hours than factory workers; however, they have greater freedom in planning their time.
3).句子連接不正確
所謂句子連接不正確,就是兩個獨立的句子之間以逗號連接,這是不合英語語法的。正確的做法是以連詞、分號、冒號、句號等連接兩個句子。
不正確句: Breaking chalk into two pieces is a physical change, there is no change in the composition of the chalk.
正確句: Breaking chalk into two pieces is a physical change, so there is no change in the composition of the chalk.
2 高分表達
除了在句式上長短句相結(jié)合準確表達外,建議SAT考生要使用一些特殊的句式,以使句型多樣化。句型多樣化也是作文得到高分的條件之一。除了我們之前經(jīng)常提到的高分句式,如倒裝句、強調(diào)句、狀語前置、插入語等,另外一個句式的多樣變化,即主語多樣化。下面將列舉幾個句子概括介紹前面四種句型,而重點分析主語多樣化。
正常句: Luck only works in extreme cases.
倒裝句: Only in extreme cases does luck work.(否定詞位于句首的倒裝。)
正常句: The internet provides people access to the latest information.
強調(diào)句: It is the internet that provides people access to the latest information. (強調(diào)the internet)
正常句: The environment has been deteriorating severely along with the development of industry.
狀語前置句: Along with the accelerating development of industry, the environment has been deteriorating severely.
正常句: However, new zoos try to duplicate animals’ natural habitats as much as possible and give animals a comfortable amount of space.
插入語: New zoos, however, try to duplicate animals’ natural habitats as much as possible and give animals a comfortable amount of space. (連詞however做插入語)
從上面的分析和對比中我們就可以看到,拿到SAT寫作滿分成績需要大家多方面的準備,只有在掌握了最基本的句式,避免基本錯誤的基礎(chǔ)上才能掌握更多的高分表達方式也才能在考試中有更多的發(fā)揮空間。
