英语六级考试写作高分技巧：如何增强语气

[导读]在英语写作教学中，如何增强语句表现力的问题必须引起我们足够的重视，以提高学生写作的表达质量。
　　观多年来国家大学英语四、六级作文考试，考生作文成绩欠佳的主要原因除了准确性和连贯性差之外，语句软弱无力也是不容忽略的一个方面。因此在英语写作教学中，如何增强语句表现力的问题必须引起我们足够的重视，以提高学生写作的表达质量。
　　一、避免使用语意弱的“be”动词。
　　1.把句中的表语转换为不同的修饰语。例如:
　　Weak: The trees are bare. The grass is brown. The l seems drab.
　　Revision:The brown grass and bare trees form a drab landscape. (转换为前置定语)
　　Or: The landscape, bare and brown, begged for spring green. (转换为并列结构作后置定语)
　　2.将作表语用的形容词或名词变为行为动词。例如：
　　1) Weak: The team members are good players.
　　Revision: The team members play well.
　　2) Weak: One worker’s plan is the elimination 1 of tardiness 2.
　　Revision: One worker’s plan eliminates tardiness.
　　3.在以“here”或“there”开头的句子中，把“be”动词后的名词代词变成改写句的主语。例如：
　　1) Weak: There is no opportunity for promotion 3.
　　Revision: No opportunity for promotion exists.
　　2) Weak: Here are the books you ordered.
　　Revision: The books you ordered have arrived.
　　二、多用语意具体的动词，保持句意简洁明了。
　　例如：
　　1.Poor: My supervisor 4 went past my desk.
　　Better: My supervisor sauntered (=walked slowly) past my desk.
　　2.Poor: She is a careful shopper.
　　Better: She compares prices and quality.
　　三、尽量运用主动语态。
　　例如：
　　1.Weak: The organization has been supported by charity.
　　Better: Charity has supported the organization.
　　2.Weak: The biscuits were stacked on a plate.
　　Better: Mother stacked the biscuits on a plate.
　　四、防止使用语意冗长累赘的词语。
　　例如：
　　1.Wordy: My little sister has a preference for chocolate milk.
　　Improved: My little sister prefers chocolate milk.
　　2.Wordy: We are in receipt of your letter and intend to follow yourrecommendations.
　　Improved: We have received your letter and intended to follow your recommendation.
　　3.Redundant 5: We had a serious crisis at school yesterday when our chemistry laboratory caught fire.
　　Improved: We had a crisis at school yesterday when our chemistry laboratory caught fire.
　　4.Redundant: My sister and I bought the same, identical dress in different stores.
　　Improved: My sister and I bought the same dress in different stores.
　　五、杜绝滥用陈旧词语或难懂的专业术语。
　　例如：
　　1.Weak: They will not agree to his proposals in any shape or form.
　　Improved: They will not agree to any of his proposals.
　　2.Weak: I need her financial input 6 before I can guesstimate our expenditures 7 next fall.
　　Improved: I need her financial figures before I can estimate our expenditures next fall.
