試著改變一下每個(gè)句子的開頭
許多學(xué)生在寫作中傾向于用與人有關(guān)系的詞性,用名詞和代詞作為句子的開頭,如 People,We,I,He,They,She等。但這種開頭見多了,難免讓人厭倦。試比較:
A. People throughout the country have greatly demanded all kinds of nutritious food.
B. There is a great demand across the country for all kinds of nutritious food.
第一句改用非人稱名詞作為主語開頭,第二句則用there +be句型開頭。這樣既改變了主語+謂語+賓語單調(diào)句型,又把想強(qiáng)調(diào)的意思突出出來。實(shí)際上,為了把文章寫得生動(dòng)活潑,除了用主語開頭外,還可以用句子的其他成分開頭。
1. 以形容詞或形容詞組開頭 如:①M(fèi)ary was very pleased and telephoned her mother.→Pleased,Mary telephoned her mother.②The girl,hungry and thirsty,went back home.→Hungry and thirsty,the girl went back home.
2. 以副詞開頭 如:The child stayed there quietly.→Quietly,the child stayed there.
3. 以不定式開頭 如:He got up very early to catch the bus.→To catch the bus,he got up very early.
4. 以現(xiàn)在分詞或過去分詞開頭 如:①I was filled with anticipation when I came home from school that dark winter's day so long ago.→Coming home from school that dark winter's day so long ago,I was filled with anticipation. ②If you give me enough time,I can do it well.→Given enough time,I can do it well.
5. 以介詞短語開頭 如:Chester like many other adventurers had experienced fear and conquered it.→Like many other adventurers,Chester had experienced fear and conquered it.
6. 以同位語開頭 如:Sue,our monitor,always likes giving suggestions to everybody.→Our monitor,Sue,always likes giving suggestions to everybody.
7. 以從句開頭 如:①Francis had already surprised his friends several times before he sailed round the world single-handed.→Before he sailed round the world single-handed,F(xiàn)rancis had already surprised his friends several times.②You will greatly improve your finished product if you have a quality control inspection.→If you have a quality control inspection, you will greatly improve your finished product.
