在SAT寫作考試中,SAT寫作經驗語法結構也是很重要的。一起看看小編給大家分享的SAT寫作內容吧。
1、強調賓語的時候,再用被動語態
雖然長難句能夠表明寫作水平,但是清晰明了的表達才是關鍵。例如:
In the fall, not only did the cows have to be milked, but also the hay was mowed and stacked by my grandfather"s family.
本句不夠簡潔的原因是本句的重心應該是“忙碌的家庭-my grandfather"s family”,而使用了被動語態后,仿佛重心變成了cows和hay。下面的表達方式是主動語態,相對來說更簡潔一些:
In the fall, my grandfather"s family not only milked the cow but also mowed and stacked the hay.
2、 一個句子的主語和謂語動詞應該能夠反映句子中的最重要的意思。
例如:
The situation that resulted in my grandfather"s not being able to study engineering was that his father needed help on the farm.
從意思上來分析,上面這句話需要表達的重要的概念是“grandfather"s not being able to study”,而在表達這個概念時,原句用的主語是situation,謂語動詞是was,不能強調需要表達的重點概念,可以改為下面這句話:
My grandfather couldn"t study engineering because his father needed help on the farm.
就SAT寫作經驗而言,同學們要記住并不是越復雜的語法結構就能夠拿到高分,除非您能夠在SAT寫作學習中完全掌握這類句型,否則很容易畫虎不成反類犬,SAT寫作與高分無緣了。
3. 避免頻繁使用“there be”結構。
例如下面的句子:
There were 25 cows on the farm that my grandfather had to milk every day. It was hard work for my grandfather.
可以改為:
My grandfather worked hard. He had to milk 25 cows on the farm every day.
更簡潔的句式為:
My grandfather worked hard milking 25 cows daily.
4. 把從句改為短語或單詞。
例如:
Dairy cows were raised on the farm,which was located100 kilometers from the nearest university and was in an area that was remote.
簡介的表達方式為:
The dairy farm was located in a remote area, 100 kilometers tothe nearest university.
5. 用更為精確的一個動詞來代替動詞短語。
例如下面這句話:
My grandfather didn"t have time to stand around doing nothing with his school friends.
Stand around doing nothing其實可以用一個動詞來表達,即loiter:
My grandfather didn"t have time to loiter with his school friends.
6. 有時兩句話的信息經過組合完全可以用一句話來簡練地表達。
例如:
Profits from the farm were not large. Sometimes they were too small to meet the expenses of running a farm. They were not sufficient to pay for a university degree.
兩句話的信息可以合并為下面這句更為簡潔的句子:
Profits from the farm were sometimes too small to meet operational expenses, let alone pay for a university degree.
