高分作文的重要特征之一就是句式多变,语法活用。因此,考生在写作时要善于合理升级句式,熟练掌握润色句子的技能,交叉使用不同句型,增加句子的层次感和多样化。考生可以通过以下十大技巧升级句式,写出高分句子。
一、变成被动句
被动句在英语中使用广泛,在陈述一个客观事实时,相对于主动句,使用被动句更能够增强文章的说服力。
(建议信)I suggest that you should learn and sing Chinese songs.
→升级表达:It is suggested that you should learn and sing Chinese songs.
二、运用倒装句
倒装句是一种使句子呈现亮点的方法。在写作中常见的倒装句有以下几种:
1. 以否定词开头的部分倒装。
以never, neither, nor, seldom, rarely, by no means, hardly, scarcely, no sooner, no longer, in no way, in no case, at no time, Not only... but also, No sooner... than, Hardly ... when等否定或半否定词开头的句子。
(祝贺信表达高兴)I could hardly hold back my excitement when I heard the news that you were admitted to your ideal university.
→升级表达:Hardly could I hold back my excitement when I heard the news that you were admitted to your ideal university.
(感谢信)I will never forget your kindness and generosity.
→升級表达:Never will I forget your kindness and generosity.
(申请信)I not only have a good command of written English, but also I can speak English fairly well.
→升级表达:Not only do I have a good command of written English, but also I can speak English fairly well.
2. 以“Only+状语”开头的部分倒装。
(建议信)You can learn Chinese well only if you could take the above suggestions.
→升级表达:Only if you take the above suggestions, can you learn Chinese well.
3. so/such... that句型中的so/such位于句首时,主句要部分倒装。
(申请信)I am so interested in this job that I cant wait to apply for it.
→升级表达:So interested am I in this job that I cant wait to apply for it.
4. adj./adv. +as/though+主语+谓语+其它。
(申请信)Though I am very young, I have the confidence that I can handle this job well.
→升级表达:Young as/though I am, I have the confidence that I can handle this job well.
5. if引导的虚拟条件句将were, had, should提前时。
(建议信)If I were you, I would try to read more books and magazines in Chinese.
→升级表达:Were I you, I would try to read more books and magazines in Chinese.
三、运用感叹句
感叹句通常用于文章的开头或结尾以便活跃文章气氛,凡是“I feel... ”表达情感类的皆可用感叹句型转换。
(申请信)I am extremely delighted to learn the news that you need a secretary and I am writing to apply for it.
→升级表达:How delighted I am to learn the news that you need a secretary and I am writing to apply for it.
四、运用强调句
1. 用do / does / did 强调一般现在时或一般过去时的谓语动词。
(表达希望)I hope you can accept my apology and understand my situation.
→升级表达:I do hope you can accept my apology and understand my situation.endprint
2. 用强调句型强。
强调句型“it is/was +被强调部分+that/who+剩余部分”可以强调除谓语外的任何句子成分。
(感谢信)Your instructive assistance and professional advice enable me to have the precious chance to study in my ideal university.
→升级表达:It is your instructive assistance and professional advice that enable me to have the precious chance to study in my ideal university.(强调主语)

九、插入语的使用
适当加一些插入语也可以丰富句式,寫出新意。一些短句、副词、介词、分词短语或者动词不定式都可以放到句子中充当语气较弱的插入语。常用插入语有: I am sure, I hope, I guess, I think, whats more, whats worse, what is important, luckily, undoubtedly, obviously, hopefully, by the way, in short, generally speaking, to tell you the truth, to be honest等等。
(建议信)I hope the above suggestions will be of great help to you.
