最常見的并列句就是用and,but等作為連接詞,將兩個分句連接起來。比如:
歷史必然含混也因此必然有趣。
History has to be vague and is therefore very interesting.
在中國孩子們沒有權利也因此做一些自己不喜歡做的事情。
In China children have little rights and therefore have to do many things that they do not enjoy doing.
計算機不僅給人們帶來了方便,還使人們學得更多。
Computers have not only brought convenience but they have also made people learn more.
從這些例句,我們可以得到以下這些結論:
1、盡量使用復數名詞作主語
之所以提出這樣的建議,是因為復數名詞更能說明某個群體的共性,具有說服力,個體例子可能比較典型,不足以論證你的觀點。
2、能用過去式就用過去式,能用完成式就用完成式
3、用not only把第一個謂語動詞切開,用but also把第二個謂語動詞切開
常見的三種句子切分結構:
主語和謂語切開(要求主語超過一個詞)
Those parents, however, have supported such a stupid decision.
助動詞和實義動詞切開
Those parents have , however, supported such a stupid decision.
系動詞和表語切開
It is, however, hardly true that……
4、不是省略而是替換(代詞) 例:6. If you could change one important thing about your hometown, what would you change? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.
A nice environment will make people happier.
A nice environment will also make people healthier. A good environment will not only make people happier and healthier, but it will even make people more productive.
通過這三句的比較,我們可以很明顯地感受到并列句對于托福寫作level提高的作用。
托福寫作時的注意事項
總結來看,如果想在托福的機器評分中取得高分,我們在寫作時要特別注意以下幾點:
寫作時題目中的topic詞匯一定要在文章中出現,以避免被機器判為跑題;
寫作時要清楚寫出表達觀點的主題句以及主體段的主題句;
要盡可能避免各種語言錯誤包括拼寫、標點符號、大小寫以及縮寫錯誤;
要提高文章詞匯的多樣性,盡量避免同一詞匯(除topic詞匯外)不斷重復出現
要提高文章詞匯的高級性,在平時要累積一些學術詞匯并學會正確的使用方法;
要提高句式多樣性,多寫各種從句或長句子。
