AEIS写作备考:10条准则快速提升你的作文水平

2019/07/10

  AEIS作文中一定要有自己的思想,有自己独特的视角。在有限的文字里面表达尽量多的信息,符合题意的创新,使文章更有深度。而句子的结构和长度也是由所要表达的思想来决定的。

  作文可以有多种形式来表达,但是切记不能跑题!

  TheThe Elements of Style,由康耐尔大学英语教授William Strunk撰写,被誉为英文写作的圣经,也几乎成了每个留学生必备的写作指南。下文引自书中,让我们用这10条准则来快速的提升自己的英文写作水平,让你在考试中拔得头筹。

  1.不同的段落构成文章,每个段落仅传递一个观点

  2.规则:每个段落均以主题句开头,并且首尾呼应。

  A. the topic sentence comes at or near the beginning;

  主题句前置

  B. the succeeding sentences explain or establish or develop the statement made in the topic sentence;

  段落围绕主题句展开,后面的句子对主题句进行展开解释

  C. the final sentence either emphasizes the thought of the topic sentence or states some important consequence.

  末尾句或者对主题句进行强调,或者阐述主题句带来的结果。

  3.主动句永远比被动句直接有力

  Eg: There were a great number of dead leaves lying on the ground

  = Dead leaves covered the ground. (清晰生动)

  Eg: The reason that he left college was that his health became impaired.

  = Failing health compelled him to leave college. (简洁有力)

  Eg: It was not long before he was very sorry that he had said what he had.

  = He soon repented his words. (简洁有力)

  4.以肯定的形式表达否定的意思, 避免使用平淡、毫无色彩,犹豫不决和含糊其辞的语言。

  Eg:He was not very often on time.

  = He usually came late.

  Eg: He did not think that studying Latin was much use.

  = He thought the study of Latin useless.

  Eg: The taming of the Shrew is rather weak in spots. Shakespeare does not portray Katharine as a very admirable character, nor does Bianca remain long in memory as an important character in Shakespeare’s works.

  = The women in The Taming of the Shrew are unattractive. Katharine is disagreeable, Bianca insignificant.

  5.删除冗词

  就像一幅画里不该有不必要的线条,一个机器不应该有没用的零件一样。句子里不要有没用的词,一段文字里避免不必要的句子。这不是要写作者写短句子、要他避免写主题大纲之外的细节,而是让每个词物尽其用,不说多余废话。

  有力的写作一定要简洁。

  Owing to the fact that

  =Since (because)

  In spite of the fact that

  =Though (although)

  Call your attention to the fact that

  =Remind you (notify you)

  The fact that he had not succeeded

  =His failure

  6.别写流水账,找找语言的逻辑关系,通过who, which, when, where, and while 这些词把句子串起来。

  7.平行结构讲究对称美:内容对等,结构一致。

  Eg: Formerly, science was taught by the textbook method, while now the laboratory method is employed.

  Parallel structure: Formerly, science was taught by the textbook method; now it is taught by the laboratory method.

  8.词的位置决定词的关系,所以遵循“物以类聚”,意思关联紧密的词放在一块。

  A: 主谓之间不分割,补充信息需前置

  Eg: Wordsworth, in the fifth book of The Excursion, gives a minute description of this church.

  Eg: In the fifth book of the Excursion, Wordsworth gives a minute description of this church. (状语前置,主谓毗邻)

  B:关系代词紧随先行词出现

  Eg: There was a look in his eye that boded mischief.

  Eg: In his eye was a look that boded mischief. (名词look先行,关系词that紧随)

  9.总结通常使用现在时态,如果使用过去时,请保持时态一致。

  10. 强调性的词汇放在后面,欲擒故纵的圆周句(periodic sentence)中,强调信息后置。

  Eg: Four centuries ago, Christopher Columbus, one of the Italian mariners whom the decline of their own republics had put at the service of the world and of adventure, seeking for Spain a westward passage to the Indies as setoff against the achievements of Portuguese discoverers, lighted on America.

  Eg: With these hopes and in this belief I would urge you, laying aside all hindrance, thrusting away all private aims, to devote yourselves unswervingly and unflinchingly to the vigorous and successful prosecution of this war.
