“書面表達”題是英語考試中的重頭戲。為了幫助同學們提高書面表達得分率,本文特提供一些贏得高分的技巧,供大家參考。
一、恰當使用詞匯
用詞正確與否是衡量考生英語水平高低的一個重要標志。詞匯使用得好,就能為你贏得高分。下列每組中的第二個句子就較好地使用了英語詞匯。例如:
1. Because the weather was good,our journey was comfortable. →
Thanks to the good weather,our journey was comfortable.
2. We all think he is a great man. →
We all think highly of him.
3. Suddenly I thought out a good idea. →
A good idea occurred to me. /A good idea suddenly struck me.
4. The students there neednt pay for their books. →
Books are free for the students there.
5. As a result the plan was a failure. →
The plan turned out to be a failure.
二、使用多種多樣的句式或結構
句子結構運用得當可以使文章增色。在一篇文章中,我們可以根據意思上的需要,交替使用下列句式或結構。
1. 感嘆句:
How happy I was when I received your letter!
What a kind boy he is!
How disappointed he was!
2. 強調句:
It was this young boy that helped the old granny.
I do hope you can come if possible.
3. 倒裝句:
Only in this way can you solve this problem.
Hardly had they got to the station when they met the young man.
4. 省略句:
They read while walking or riding on a bus.
Come to me if necessary.
5. with短語:
I saw a young lady walking slowly in the street with a handbag in her hand.
6. 定語從句:
In my opinion,cyber cafes should be a place where we can find much useful information.
Lets come to the main teaching building,at the back of which stands the school library.
7. 各種名詞性從句:
Thats what I should do.
We should do a favour to whoever needs help at present.
8. 各種狀語從句:
Time passed quickly before we knew it.
The moment we reached the farm,we got down to harvesting.
So long as we work harder at our lessons,well catch up with others sooner or later.
Do call me beforehand so that I can meet you at the airport.

三、使用恰當的連接詞語
恰當的連接詞語能幫助你寫出一篇有“英語味”的文章,也能使你的文章上下銜接自然、緊湊。
常用的連接詞語有以下幾種:
1. 表示遞進意義(即在同一話題上補充內容)的連詞
what is more; besides; also; moreover; in addition(另外,還有)
2. 表示轉折意義的連詞
but; however; yet; instead; on the other hand; on the contrary(但是,然而,相反)
3. 表示因果意義的連詞
since; as; because (of); so; thus; therefore; as a result(因為,因此,所以)
4. 表示條件意義的連詞
if; as long as(如果,只要); unless(除非)
5. 表示時間意義的連詞
when; while(當……的時候); after(在……之后); before(在……之前); until(直到); as soon as(一……就……); since(自從……)
