GRE写作高分词句详解

发布时间:2017-12-05 编辑:少冰

  考生们是如何复习GRE考试的呢?GRE写作又是如何的呢?下面是小编为大家整理收集的关于GRE写作高分词句的相关详解,希望对大家有所帮助。

  1. 过渡词句

  过渡词句对于引导和联接上下文十分重要,想要让一篇文章的整体结构连贯通顺,考生就必须要学会使用过渡词句。比较常用的过渡词一般可以分为三类,分别是转折、条件和递进。

  转折用过渡词:

  however(无论如何,不管怎样)/on the other hand/despite(不管,尽管,任凭)/in spite of(虽然;不管;不顾;纵使)/though/although/but/on the contrary(正相反)/otherwise(否则,不然)/yet/instead of/rather/whereas(反之;却;而)/nonetheless(但是;仍然)/in contrast (相反,大不相同)

  条件用过渡词:

  if/unless/whether/provided that(倘若;以...为条件)/Given that (只要是,考虑到;假定,已知)/for/so that/whether/depending on

  递进用过渡词:

  and 而且;both…and 不但……而且;also 此外,而且;not only…but also 不但……而且;as well(as) 不但...而且...;at the same time 同时;besides 况且;further more 更进...

  2. 长难句

  GRE写作要不要用长难句一直是很多人纠结的问题,不用会担心文章句式太简单,用又怕用不好出错。小编的看法是要用,但也要适量不能滥用。毕竟长难句哪怕对于老外来说也是难写难看不易消化的产物,偶尔为之可以体现水平,但故意堆砌就容易弄巧成拙了。比如:

  Yet Waltzer’s argument , however deficient , does point to one of the most serious weaknesses of capitalism-namely , that it brings to predominant positions in a society people who ,no matter how legitimately they have earned their material rewards , often lack those other qualities that evoke affection or admiration.  这样一句长难句,本身长度就相当于一个段落了,虽然句式看上去很高大上,也涉及到了复杂的语法和难词,但其实对考官来说并不友好。想象一下整篇作文全都是这样的句子,即使是专业批作文的考官可能也会觉得头疼。

  3. 体现专业性和地道性的词句

  很多考生写GRE作文,比较大的一个问题就是用词贫乏重复,翻来覆去就是常用的那几个形容词动词,而想要体现文章的专业性,考生就必须用一些更地道的词句。比如:

  原句:That China is increasingly participating in regional affairs shows that it is a responsible country.

  改写:China's increasing regional involvement shows that it is a responsible country.

  这句话其实并没有做太大的改变,只是把从句改成了名词就让句子变得更加地道了。其实想要做到这一点,大家平时需要多积累,在看原版书籍和视听资料的时候揣摩美国人的说话和书写习惯,以此为依据进行模仿练习,自然就能提升自己文章的专业性。

  4. 避免中式英语

  GRE写作词句方面还有一个需要特别注意的地方就是所谓的中式英语。这些用法我们自己看着也许觉得很好理解,但在老外眼里就会显得非常别扭。比如:

  原句:If we agree to say that school offers us the best book knowledge acquisition then our society offers us the best surviving techniques in a hard way.

  改写:If we agree that school offers the best method for the acquisition of book knowledge, then our society offers us the best method for acquiring common sense or “street smarts”.

  原句中的agree to say就是个明显的中式英语。实际上agree that就能充分表达这个意思。考生一定要学会避免中式英语的表达方式。在一些用词不确定的情况下先通过词典查找一下相似的句式进行确认,最大程度上避免写作中中式英语的出现。

  5. 英语不是母语也能写出高分精彩词句

  有些考生总觉得英语不是母语,因此GRE作文写不出高分情有可原。这个说法小编是不赞同的,不管是不是母语,所有语言都是可以通过后天学习并精通的,中国考生中能够在GRE写作上写出精彩词句拿到高分满分的也大有人在,他们的一些优秀句式完全能媲美英语母语国家考生的水平。比如:

  Although many people claim that, along with the rapidly economic development, the number of people who use bicycle are decreasing and bicycle is bound to die out. The information I've collected over the recent years leads me to believe that bicycle will continue to play extremely important roles in modern society.
