小编:alina 164众所周知,雅思写作中语法作为的一大考察要点,除了语法正确,句式使用的多样也是非常重要的一项评分标准。复杂句式的使用对于很多烤鸭来说是个难题,特别是小作文,因为它的任务是客观描述图表信息,考生们的大部分精力都放在描述什么信息上,就更难用出一些复杂句式了。如果你也有这样的困惑,就和环球教育名师张笑丛老师一起来看看如何在雅思写作中运用复杂句式。
想要在考场上用好复杂句,最好的准备办法是总结可以使用复杂句的地点。对于雅思小作文来说,就是通过题型思路找到可能写出雅思写作复杂句的信息点。下面以动态图为例,列出一些复杂句使用的情况。
最大值+趋势
动态图在描述各个对象的趋势时,有一个原则是从最突出的趋势写起,也就是最大值的趋势。所以,需要先用一句话描述某对象是最大值,紧接着描述该对象的趋势,那么这两个信息就可以合并成为一个复合句。
-The percentage of the married was the largest among the four groups of American adults, going down by 10% to nearly 60% between 1970 and 2000. 【非谓语动词】
-The percentage of the married was the largest among the four groups of American adults, which went down by 10% to nearly 60% between 1970 and 2000. 【非限制性定语从句】
注:非谓语做伴随状语不能表示将来。如果题目是将来的时间,只能用非限制性定语从句(, which will go down...)
时间先后
动态图需要按照时间来描述趋势,所以必然会出现时间先后的逻辑关系。
-The number of marriages leveled off at 2.5 m(millions) during the period between 1970 and 1980, and/but then it underwent a gradual decrease to 2m in 2000. 【并列句】
-The number of marriages leveled off at 2.5 m(millions) during the period between 1970 and 1980, after which it underwent a gradual decrease to 2m in 2000. 【定语从句】
-The number of marriages had leveled off at 2.5m(millions) during the period between 1970 and 1980 before it experienced a gradual decrease to 2m in 2000.
The number of marriages experienced a gradual decrease to
2m(millions) in 2000 after it leveled off at 2.5m between 1970 and 1980. 【时间状语从句】
注:时间状语从句中before和after的用法有所区别。如果题目是过去的时间,before前后分别是过去完成时和一般过去式;而after前后都使用一般过去时。
