熟悉托福口语考试的小朋友们,有没有发现,即使自己答题时给出十分充分的论据,内容有声有色,答题流畅又生动,还是无法突破万年23分的瓶颈期呢?这时候,我们可以回顾自己答题的方式,来审视一下,是不是自己给出的简单句式过多?词汇又太基础,太刻板呢?
如果有类似的问题,今天小编带来的提升句式的小技巧,一定能够帮到你们哦。
技巧一: 改变词性
我们来看一个例子:A is very important.
我们可以将句中的形容词转化为名词:(be)+ of + 抽象名词=名词所对应的形容词的意思。
important—importance
A is very important. = A is of great/considerable /remarkable importance.
Of后常跟的抽象名词有:use / importance/ help / value / interest / significance / necessity / quality.
E.g.:It is of necessity that we raise people`s awareness of protecting the environment.
让人们有意识的去保护环境是非常必要的。
技巧之二: 巧妙使用副词,给句子增添色彩
明显地:
clearly, obviously, apparently
完全地:
completely, totally, utterly, absolutely
非常地:
extremely, incredibly, unbelievably, significantly
毫无疑问地:
undoubtedly
毫不犹豫地:
unhesitatingly
其它:frequently, practically, generally,especially, primarily,certainly,interestingly
E.g.:
1. The ability to speak English is increasingly important in a global society.
在国际大环境下,具备英文表达能力越来越重要了。
2. The fact is incredibly exaggerated.
事实被过分夸大了。
3. My knowledge of the subject is practically nil.
我对这个话题几乎完全不了解。
PS: 如果考生具有强大的词汇储备,可以尝试副词排比的结构,让考官眼前一亮。
E.g.: Athletes tend to move gracefully, energetically and powerfully.
运动员们的一举一动,都是优雅地,朝气蓬勃地,有力量地。
技巧之三:巧妙应用状语前置:有一种非常简单易懂的句式变换手法,是将副词,介词,动词不定式,现代分词提前,放在句首,使得句子产生一定节奏感,并且加入了修饰成分,就是状语前置。
我们一起看几个例子:
1) Undoubtedly, it is a positive alternative to motivate children.
毫无疑问,这是一种很积极的鼓励孩子的备选方案。
2) Recently, several nations have begun seriously discussing a manned mission to Mars.
最近,几个国家已经开始严肃的讨论载人登陆火星的计划了。
3) Eventually, all these elements combined to create a harmonious atmosphere.
最终,这些元素组合在一起,构成了一个和谐的气氛。
4) In general, it is motivating for students to receive feedback from their teachers.
总体而言,让学生从老师那里得到反馈有很有激励性的。
5) In light of the recent incidents, some cities canceled New Years Eve fireworks.
鉴于最近几起意外,一些城市取消了新年烟火表演。
6) Apart from the cost, it is not a bad option.
抛去成本不说,这并不算是一个糟糕的选择。
7) Not surprisingly, all of the students showed up on time in celebrating the Teacher`s Day.
毫无意外,所有的学生都准时出现,共同庆祝教师节。
其他常用语状语前置的副词或者词组还有:
basically, realistically, evidently, apparently, traditionally, specifically, essentially, in essence, ultimately, frankly, fortunately, indeed, undeniably, indisputably, on the whole, as a rule, consequently 等。
技巧之四:限定关系
限定关系目的是展现讨论对象的具体范围,或适用范围,可以体现出作者思维的严谨性。
例如:
in terms of :从….的意义上来讲
as for :谈起…..
when it comes to :谈及…..
regarding / concerning / with respect to / with regard to:关于…..
E.g.:
1. When it comes to education, a lot of people think it is a lifelong process.
当谈及教育时,很多人认为它是一个持续一辈子的学习过程。
2. It is difficult to express it in terms of science.
从科学的角度来表达它,是十分困难的。
3. They have set up a new opinion with regard to this case.
关于这个案子,他们有了新的观点。
