PETS三級改寫句子的命題思路與解題技巧

字號:

文章是通過篇章來表達(dá)思想和主題,但篇章的構(gòu)建又需要詞與句子作為它的基礎(chǔ)材料。如果說主題思想是文的靈魂的話,那么句就是文的血管脈絡(luò)了。脈絡(luò)不通,文也就難成文了。作文時(shí),考生一定要注意一下幾條原則:
    (一)主題句原則 來源:考試大
    一個(gè)好的主題句是文章成功的一半。不僅文章有主題,段落有綱,句也必有中心。文章失卻主題,就會(huì)不知所云;落無綱,則一盤散沙,句缺中心,就無意義。所以,在立足于篇章時(shí),一定要首先明確文的主題;在發(fā)展段落時(shí),也要首先寫好主題句。從PETS三的特點(diǎn)來考慮,主題句是置于文首或段首,這樣讓人一目了然! 以下就是兩個(gè)實(shí)用的開門見山式發(fā)展主題句的方法。
    ●To begin with, we must attach the greatest importance possible to this issue/fact (key word).
    ●As is well known to all, it is now high time that we took this (topic word) into serious consideration.來源:考試大
    (二) 句式變化原則
    好的文章動(dòng)靜結(jié)合、張弛有度有節(jié)奏感。句式也是一樣,要有變化性,這不僅能使文章更生動(dòng),也是語言表達(dá)方式的需要和表達(dá)能力的體現(xiàn)。句式的變化,主要是要注意兩點(diǎn):
    ● 不要從頭至尾使用一種句型。
    ● 長短句結(jié)合。
    由于語言功底的欠缺和慣用思維,很多人寫的文章一種句式到頭,如:
    I think …
    I hope…
    He does it.
    He will take it
    這樣的文章雖然意思表達(dá)出來了,卻顯得呆板,欠生動(dòng)。解決的辦法是:
    1.間或使用主從復(fù)句。
    Because he is very much determined, he will carry it out this time. (原因)
    比較:He is very much determined. He will carry it out this time.
    2.使用分詞結(jié)構(gòu)句。
    The weather being fine, a large number of people went sightseeing.
    比較:The weather is fine. A large number of people went sightseeing.
    Africa is the second largest continent, its size being about three times that of China.
    比較:Africa is the second largest continent. Its size is about three times that of China.
    3.使用不定式句。
    To be or not to be, that is a question. (莎士比亞)
    To study or not to study, that is much different.(引申)
    To do it well, you must plan it well.
    比較:You want to do it well. And you must plan it well.
    4.倒裝句來源:考試大
    Only when we fully recognize its importance can we have control of its essence.
    比較:After we fully recognize its importance, we can have control of its essence.
    No sooner had he arrived home than it began to rain.
    比較:He arrived home. And it began to rain.
    5.失衡句
    whether or not he will come is still unknown to all the people present.
    比較:No one present knows whether he will come or not.
    That he has done it all by himself is known to everyone.來源:考試大
    比較:Everyone knows that he has done it all by himself.
    當(dāng)然,句子并不是越長越好,也不是越復(fù)雜水平就越高。凡事皆有度。太多長句的堆砌讓人覺得是買弄。有時(shí)侯,一個(gè)短小精辟的句子可以起到畫龍點(diǎn)睛的作用。特別是在文末段尾。比如:
    ●As a creature, every one knows.
       ●Actions speak louder than words
    ●Practice makes perfect.
