谈培养学生润色句子的能力

　　经过基础年级的知识铺垫和高三年级系统地针对性训练，多数学生可以列出写作的基本要点，并应用简单的语句连接成分，使全文内容连贯，也就是达到了高考作文评分标准第三档或第四档的水平。如何培养学生润色句子的能力将作文分档再提一个层次呢？我认为，可从以下几个方面入手。
　　一、改变句子的开头方式
　　即句子不要一味都用主语开头，接着是谓语、宾语，最后再加一个状语。可以引导学生把状语置于句首，或用分词作状语等作为句子开头。试比较：
　　My brother and I went to the cinema by bicycle the other day.
　　The other day my brother and I went to the cinema by bicycle.
　　显然句子中的第二个句子更加灵活，更加吸引人。
　　二、在整篇文章中，避免只使用一两个句式
　　在一篇文章中，要灵活运用诸如强调句、主从复合句、分词短语、倒装句、省略句等。
　　1. 运用强调句
　　The dog has saved my Little sister bravely.
　　It is the dog that has saved my little sister bravely.
　　2. 运用主从复合句
　　We had to stand there to catch the offender.
　　What we had to do was to stand there，trying to catch the offender.
　　3. 运用分词短语和 with或without引导的短语
　　He went out angrily and didn’t say a word.
　　Without saying a word， he went out angrily.
　　4. 运用倒装句
　　I went to bed at 11：30.
　　Not until 11：30 did I go to bed.
　　Her mother learned the news when she came home.
　　Only when she came home did her mother learn the news.
　　5. 运用省略句
　　While you are crossing the street，you should be careful.
　　While crossing the street， you should be careful.
　　6. 运用分句和合句
　　He stop us an hour ago .He made us catch the next offender.
　　He stopped us an hour ago and made us catch the next offender.
　　三、有效运用情感色彩强烈的形容词或副词等高级词汇
　　The nice weather and convenient transportation here can make your trip more enjoyable.
　　I suddenly realized that I had left my English dictionary behind at your place.
　　I will work hard and creatively. I will follow the law and discipline.
　　显然，通过运用多样的句式与高级词汇，增强了文章的感染力。
　　总之，培养学生润色句子的能力，是对提高学生作文分档的一个有益尝试。经过一段时间的训练，许多学生在英语写作中都有所提高，并初步具备了高分作文的素质。只要我们继续坚持，定能够突破英语高分作文这一瓶颈。
