英語作文:提高英語作文用詞多樣性
當(dāng)我問學(xué)生什么樣的文章是一篇好文章的時(shí)候。他們都會(huì)很清楚地告訴我一點(diǎn):用詞的多樣性?墒峭瑢W(xué)們在考試場上寫文章,往往是在緊張、交卷時(shí)間快到的情況下匆匆完成。語法正確尚不能保證,別提句子和詞匯的多樣性了。很多同學(xué)有個(gè)誤區(qū),覺得作文題目千變?nèi)f化,寫作文完全靠臨場發(fā)揮。這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)絕對(duì)不可取,只要通過平常認(rèn)真的積累和練習(xí),考場上在再短的時(shí)間內(nèi),也可以做到下筆如有神。今天我先提供一點(diǎn)我在遣詞造句方面的看法,以后還會(huì)和大家探討寫作文的其他方面。要提高用詞的多樣性,我的方法是:首先,找出你近期寫過的所有作文,你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)有些詞語你會(huì)在你寫過的文章中反復(fù)見到,比如:more and more, I think, because, although, important....你要做的第二步就是想辦法用不一樣的詞語和表達(dá)來替換你經(jīng)常重復(fù)的這些詞匯。關(guān)于句型,你也會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)你的文章中可能經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)一類句型,比如有的同學(xué)擅長用定語從句,他的所有文章都是由簡單句和定語從句寫成的,像這種情況,請你想辦法在你的作文當(dāng)中加入非謂語動(dòng)詞、狀語從句、強(qiáng)調(diào)句、倒裝句,It is adj. that等句式。
還有我要強(qiáng)調(diào)的是,這樣的工作只能是你自己來做,每個(gè)人有自己的思路和常用慣用的詞匯,是你自己的總結(jié)和整理,你在臨場發(fā)揮的時(shí)候才能運(yùn)用自如,這些詞匯句型才會(huì)蹦到你腦子里來。生搬硬套、死記硬背的東西你是沒法用到你的寫作當(dāng)中的。
下面舉例一些常用的詞匯句型替換:
because-> since, for, as, because of, resulting from...., thinking.... , considering....
more and more important-> increasingly significant
in fact-> as a matter of fact, factually,
want to do-> intend to do, desire to do, be eager to do, be crazy about doing,
maybe-> probably,perhaps
result in -> lead to, cause
big city-> metropolis
environment-> surroundings
but-> however, while, nevertheless
so-> therefore, because of this, in this way, for this reason
people-> human beings(人類)
have to do-> should do, be supposed to do, must do, may as well do,
first....second-> For one thing....for another, besides, what's more, more importantly,
have a good time -> enjoy oneself, spend a happy holiday/weekend,
I think-> I believe, in my opinion, as far as I know, I have to say
這里我就只是這樣拋磚引玉了,再次強(qiáng)調(diào),這樣的積累,只有學(xué)生自己做了,才會(huì)起到立竿見影的作用。點(diǎn)擊進(jìn)入老師空間,看更多精彩原創(chuàng)文章
