高中英语作文高分秘籍
一、词汇
词汇是构成一篇作文的基本要素,高级、准确的词汇更是一篇好作文不可缺少的“砖”。我们可以从使用高级词汇、连词的使用、词组的变化使用来让我们的作文有一个好的“建筑材料。”
使用高级词汇可以让我们的作文更上一层楼。
所谓“高级词汇”就是文章中运用得精准的词汇。作文中如果可以用高级词汇代替普通词汇那会让阅卷老师眼前一亮。试想一下,如果阅卷老师在改了n篇平淡无奇的作文后突然看到你的作文用更加高级的词汇表达了和其他人一样的意思,他肯定觉得你的英语水平要更好,从而给你打高分。我在这里归纳了一些可相互替换的词汇:
important→fundamental /significant
related→relevant
improve→promote
old people→the aged
government→administration
excellent →outstanding
solve →tackle
······
这一类的词有很多,这就需要各位学弟学妹们在平时的学习中多积累,毕竟积土成山嘛!
连接词是我们最常用的,不管在哪篇文章中都可以看到它们的身影。要注意使用连接词不能也只是万年不变的firstly、secondly、because,要多用词组或复杂的连接词。比如:
(1)表先后次序:
at this time; at last;
previously; eventually;
last but not least;to begin with;
to start with;to end with;
afterwards; preceding ;
originally;ultimate
(2)表因果关系:
since; as; for;
in that...; owing to; due to;
for the reason that...
the reason seems to be obvious;
as a result of;consequently;
as a result;hence;
in consequence;accordingly;
under these conditions there upon
(3)表转折关系:even so;however;though;even though; in spite of; regardless of;and yet; but unless. nonetheless
(4)表并列关系: as well as;either...,or...;both...and...
(5)表递进关系:
furthermore;moreover;further;
in this way ; not only...but also...;
not...but...; in addition;
additionally;besides;moreover;
on the one hand..,on the other hand...;
(6)举例关系:
for example;for instance;
such as; a case in point is...;
the point is best illustrated with the example of …
(7) 地点关系:
beyond; opposite to;
adjacent to; at the same place;
over; in the middle;
around; in front of;
in the distance; farther;
here and there; above;
below; between; on this side.
这些都只是一些常用的,更多的是需要你们去积累。最后,还有一个原则我要分享给你们,“单词不如词组好,词组不如句子好”,如果一个词组和一个单词都能表达你的意思,那么就用词组去表达;如果一个句子能准确地表达你的意思,那么就用句子去表达。
二、句子
句子方面有以下几点可以多去琢磨琢磨:分词、倒装、强调、修饰。
分词,多用分词形式表达句子比用简单句更能吸引阅卷老师的眼球。比如:If such is the case, you should apologize to him. 如果用分词结构表达,就可以把is换成being,句子就成了Such being the case, you should apologize to him.这样是不是显得高级一些呢?
其实我们经常看到倒装句,只是自己用得并不多,倒装时常和虚拟语气、省略句联系在一起。如果一篇作文中能够把倒装句用得很溜,那也会是一大亮点。强调句也是作文中上午一大亮点,这个大家可以平时多注意一下,运用得好就是锦上添花。如:Only through these measures can we hope to solve the problem.
最后是修饰,修饰即从句的使用。宾语从句、定语从句、状语从句、主语从句这些都可以用在我们的作文中。比如:
(1)主语从句
It is common knowledge that…;
It goes without saying that…
(2)宾语从句
We cannot understand why he was so cruel to his roommates.;The problem is not who will go, but who will stay.
(3)定语从句
As is shown/ illustrated/ described…in the cartoon/ picture/ graph/ table…;
There are many reasons why …;
It is estimated that tens of billions of pounds is spent on cigarettes every year in our country, which is a huge waste.
(4)状语从句(时间,原因,地点,条件,让步,转折等)
Whatever the reason, there are still some problems with student use of computers.
