  根据例子中每句话的实际作用,巧妙的写出规范的复合句。
  托福独立写作对于句子的要求,是要高于我们在国内英语课堂上所熟悉的英语写作习惯的。一般来说,中国的学生更习惯大量的运用简单句,而托福的写作要求中明确规定了syntactic variety,即句式的多样化。因此,如果不能熟练的运用各种不同的句式,而依然是采用大量的简单句的罗列,学生是不容易拿到高分的。
  所谓“句式多样化”,其实理解起来并不难,无非是熟练的使用从句(名词性从句、状语从句、定语从句等)、同位语、介词短语,而更高级别的要求,则可以尝试使用强调句、倒装句、虚拟语气等更复杂的表达方式。上述这些句式,其实大部分中国的学生在高中阶段就已经完全熟悉,然而因为高中的英语教学往往忽视英语写作中不同句式的应用,而过多的强调词汇,因此很多学生并不能熟练灵活的运用这些他们原本熟悉的语法知识。
  写作的提高并非一日之功,复杂句式的使用当然更依赖大量的阅读和联系。然而想要写出比较好的从句,其实也是有技巧的。就拿一位同学写过的一篇作文来举一个例子,去年的北美考场上有这样一道题:
  Some people like to record their life by sharing pictures and other information on social networking sites. Others keep this information to themselves and never share it online. Which do you prefer?
  有一位同学其中一段的观点是,通过在社交网站上分享个人信息,人们可以更好的留存自己的记忆。其中例子部分他时这样写的:
  Last year is my parents’ 20th anniversary 1 of marriage. I gave them CDs and photos as gift. These CDs and photos are collected from their Facebook home pages. After receiving my gift, they were deeply 2 impressed.
  可以看出,这个段落犯了许多同学容易犯的问题——依然是简单句的大量堆砌。然而,想要把这段文字改正比较好的复合句,其实并不难,首先我们要从每一句话在这个例子中所起的作用是什么:
  Last year is my parents’ 20th anniversary of marriage. 这句说的是时间发生的时间
  I gave them CDs and photos as gift. 这是整件事的核心。
  These CDs and photos are collected from their Facebook home pages. 这是对礼物的句子描述,也就是定语
  After receiving my gift, they were deeply impressed. 这句说的是时间发生之后的结果。
  这样分析就非常简单了,只要把每一个部分起到的作用后面加上“从句”两个字,这个句子的改写方法就呼之欲出了。
  Last year is my parents’ 20th anniversary of marriage. 可以改成时间状语从句,加上when
  I gave them CDs and photos as gift. 不变
  These CDs and photos are collected from their Facebook home pages. 可改成定语从句,加上which
  After receiving my gift, they were deeply impressed.可改成结果状语从句,也可以选择用非谓语动词表示结果。
  把这些句子重新组合在一起,就可以这样写:
  For instance 3, when it comes to my parents’ 20th anniversary of marriage last year, I gave them CDs and photos, which were collected from their Facebook home pages, as gift, impressing them deeply.
  由此我们可以看出,只需要适当的修改,刚才还是简单句的罗列,现在已经成为了比较规范的复合句。自然这些句子还可以写得更好,如可以选择更贴切的词汇。但对于许多还不习惯使用复合句的学生而言,这已经是符合ETS要求的规范的句式。
  因此,对于许多写不好复合句的学生而言,通过分析每一个句子的具体作用把简单句组合成一个规范的复合句,这不失为一种好方法。

n.周年(纪念日)
  • They celebrate their wedding anniversary annually.他们每年庆祝一番结婚纪念日。
  • Today is my parents'30th wedding anniversary.今天是我父母结婚30周年纪念日。
adv.深刻地,在深处,深沉地
  • I do feel deeply the strength of the collective.我确实深深地感到了集体的力量。
  • We're deeply honoured that you should agree to join us.您能同意加入我们,我们感到很荣幸。
n.例,例证,实例
  • Can you quote me a recent instance?你能给我举一个最近的例子吗?
  • He's a greedy boy,yesterday,for instance,he ate all our biscuits!他是个贪吃的孩子――比如,他昨天把我们的饼干都吃了!
