一提起句型,我们可能会想到虚拟句、倒装句、强调句、或分词短语开头的句式等等,但是这种语法化的东西也可以用更为简洁的思维模式来组织句子,使得我们免于语法的羁绊。为了在有限的时间内尽量提高作文的质量,在此对常用句型进行一个小结。
(一)Introduction:
1、常见结构:“图表显示……”。图表做主语,直接引出图中的信息。这是一个背景信息的描述,要与题目的词汇避免撞车,就是要同义替换或者paraphrase。
The chart / graph / diagram shows / demonstrates / displays / reveals / informs / illustrates /describes that ……
2、使句式多样化,有时候只需要进行单词的变位,我们对于动词提前,“基于……”
Based on the chart/graph (above)……
Seen from this chart/graph……
3、介词提前。
From the chart/graph……
As seen/revealed in the chart/graph……
4、还有一种方式,省略句形式的提前的很好用的句式。无删节版的中文就是,“你瞧这个图一眼,就可以看出……”
A glance at the……we can perceive/ see/ realize that …
“看一眼我们就知道”
5, 如果遇到同类别的两个或者两个以上,例如两根线,三个柱,或者四个饼等等,我们还可以用一个词,这就是compare...
"这幅图比较了...和..."
The line charts compare the carbon emissions and global temperature in 2010 and 2100.
此上全是task1的开头段。虽说句式相对task2而言比较固定,但使用“词性提前”的办法,顺着补全句子来diversify我们的句型。
(二)body:
上升:
There is an increase / growth / boom / rise / mount / climb in population of the 1960s , which ended/stopped in the following decade.
→名词提前: The period of 1960s sees / witnesses an increase in population and then a recovery in the next / following decade.
这个年份"看到"或者"见证"什么情况的发生是非常形象生动的.要比直接说某事发生于某一年份来得vivid,同时也使得句型复杂话.在一篇文章中,通过变动年份或者其他句子成分,我们可以避免通篇套用" 1960s"这样的句型,达到雅思写作评分标准的"diversity"的要求.
→动词提前:Increasing / growing in the 1960s, the population reaches its summit / peak in the following ten-year period.
→形容词提前:Sharp increase as the population makes , it turns downward at the following ten years.
下降:
There is a dip / decline / fall / decrease / slump / shrink ……
→名词提前:Income sees / witnesses a dip / decline / fall / decrease / slump……
→动词提前:declining / falling in the …… , the number fluctuates / changes ……
激增:
Surge / skyrocket / soar / jump / record-breaking growth
Mark the culmination of ....
The number surges / skyrockets / jumps at the point of ……
Or:增加的v. + 副词(dramatically / drastically / tremendously / sharply / substantially / considerably / steeply / markedly / precipitously )
急降:
Plummet / plunge / precipitate
Or:减少的v. + 副词(dramatically / drastically / tremendously / sharply / substantially / considerably / steeply / markedly / precipitously )
比较句型
The chart / graph compares A with B (C / D ……)
The chart / graph shows / demonstrates / illustrates / reveals / displays the differences between A and B (C / D……)
A decreases in the first three decades , with its counterpart B making a sharp turn downward.
A 's plunge is accompanied / mirrored by the boom of B .
There is an obvious / clear / sharp contrast between A and B.
→名词提前:A overshadows /outweighs / overtakes / surpasses / outpaces / outnumbers / overwhelms B in ……
→短语提前:Compared with B , A is outstandingly gains more ……
比例句型:
A holds for / accounts for / makes up / occupies / consists of / comprises of ……
→介词提前:Of the total population , A accounts for 70%, with B's proportion as low as 10%.
(二)task 2
与task 1 不同的是,task 2 的句型和词汇可以灵活多样,变幻莫测。这个积累的过程是艰巨而漫长的。积累的文本可以是外刊或者原版小说等等。同义替换和句型的转换在这一任务中极为明显。同义替换不是说哪一个优于另外一个,只是在写作中保持一种新鲜感,避免重复。文中列出的“换一种说法”也只是一种借鉴。这是我们最常用,也用得最多的句型。在日常积累中我们应该多留一个心眼,想想能否用更为地道、更加形象的方式去表达。这需要我们自己不断积累和完善。有些单词非常简单,只要学过英语的都认识,但是组合在一起,就可以让人眼前一亮.比如奥巴马在演讲中说到的"有些人很没有运气不是用是"unlucky而是"down on their luck给人一种luck的"下降"状态.又如"帮助他们进入中产阶级不是说"help them...而是"give them a ladder into middle class也就是给他们一个通向...的梯子,这都是非常形象的表达,是值得学习的.
下面就说一些雅思大作文中常用的句型,以及同样一个意思怎么用名词,动词等去转换.
