专四写作五大高招: 试着改变一下每个句子的开头
许多学生在写作中倾向于用与人有关系的词性,用名词和代词作为句子的开头,如 People,We,I,He,They,She等。但这种开头见多了,难免让人厌倦。试比较:
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.
第一句改用非人称名词作为主语开头,第二句则用there be句型开头。这样既改变了主语+谓语+宾语单调句型,又把想强调的意思突出出来。实际上,为了把文章写得生动活泼,除了用主语开头外,还可以用句子的其他成分开头。
1. 以形容词或形容词组开头
如:
①Mary 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. 以副词开头
如:The child stayed there quietly.→Quietly,the child stayed there.
3. 以不定式开头
如:He got up very early to catch the bus.→To catch the bus,he got up very early.
4. 以现在分词或过去分词开头
如:
①I was filled with anticipation when I came home from school that dark winter's day so long ago.→Co
ming 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. 以介词短语开头如:Chester like many other adventurers had experienced fear and conquered it.→Like many other adven
turers,Chester had experienced fear and conquered it.
6. 以同位语开头
如:Sue,our monitor,always likes giving suggestions to everybody.→Our monitor,Sue,always likes g
iving suggestions to everybody.
7. 以从句开头
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,Francis had already surprised his friends several times.
②You will greatly improve your finished product if you have a quality control inspection.→If you ha
ve a quality control inspection, you will greatly improve your finished product.
