(二)主体段落的写作原则
作文的主体部分是全文文字最密集的地方,也是最彰显考生功底的地方,于是,我们总结出了关于主体段落写作的几个原则,考生在平时练习时,注意体会掌握。
1. 长短句原则
中国考生语法功底普遍很好,因此,在写作文时,很容易出现长句堆积的现象。但是,这样很容易使得文章枯燥乏味,读起来费解。相反,写一个短小精辟的句子,却可以起到画龙点睛的作用。而且,如果我们把短句放在段首或者段末,也可以揭示主题:
As a creature, I eat; as a man, I read. Although one action is to meet the primary need of my body and the other is to satisfy the intellectual need of mind, they are in a way quite similar.
如此可见,长短句结合,抑扬顿挫,更能够使文章文采飞扬。
在这里我们强烈建议考生:在文章第一段(开头)用一长一短,且先长后短;在文章主体部分,要先用一个短句解释主要意思,然后在阐述几个要点的时候采用先短后长的句群形式,定会让主体部分妙笔生辉。文章结尾一般用一长一短就可以了。
2. 主题句原则
英文写作和中文写作的一个很大的区别在于:中文写作喜欢水到渠成,只有在最后才透露观点,然而英文写作往往却开门见山,在文章的段首就讲明白整段的内容。所以在这里建一靠赊概念一定要写一个主题句,放在文章的开头(保险型)或者结尾,让阅卷人一目了然,文章结构更加清晰。
特别提示:隐藏主体句可是要冒险的。
To begin with, you must work hard at your lessons and be fully prepared before the exam(主题句). Without sufficient preparation, you can hardly expect to answer all the questions correctly.
3. 一 二 三原则
领导讲话总是第一部分、第一点、第二点、第三点、第二部分、第一点… 虽然罗嗦。但是毕竟条理清楚。考官们看文章也必然要通过这些关键性的“标签”来判定你的文章是否结构清楚,条理自然。解决方法很简单,只要把下面任何一组的词汇加入到你的几个要点前就可以了。
1)first, second, third, last(不推荐,原因:俗)
2)firstly, secondly, thirdly, finally(不推荐,原因:俗)
3)the first, the second, the third, the last(不推荐,原因:俗)
4)in the first place, in the second place, in the third place, lastly(不推荐,原因:俗)
