在GRE写作中单调的句式和结构、长度相近的句子使作文显得呆板单调,缺乏生动性和说服力。而考生若想把作文写得生动一些,就要学会丰富句子成分,使句子活起来!下面大家就随小编一起去了解一下如何丰富GRE作文句子吧!
GRE长短句变换
也就是简单句、并列句和复合句交替运用。长句准确生动,长于说明推理;短句简洁明快,意义明确,印象深刻,描述动作,表明主旨,总结归纳,非短句不可。既然各有所长,在写作时应根据实际需要,交替使用简单句、并列句和复合句,以达到“段间长短不一,全篇句式万千”、丰富多样的效果,给读者以及阅卷老师以永恒的新鲜感。
结构多样化
我们学过非谓语动词结构(包括不定式结构和分词结构),无动词结构,分隔结构,比较结构,独立结构,with复合结构,特殊否定结构,it结构,平行结构,强调结构,倒装结构,等等。其中最为神通广大的是非谓语动词结构,在句中或作主语、宾语,或作表语、宾语补足语,或作定语修饰名词,或作状语表示条件、原因、让步、时间、方式、目的、结果、伴随状况等,不一而足。
