3. 通过分句和合句,增强句子的连贯性和表现力。例如:
(原文) he stopped us an hour ago. he made us catch the next offender.
(修正) he stopped us half an hour ago and made us catch the next offender.
(原文) we had a short rest. then we began to play happily. we sang and danced.
(修正) after a short rest, we had great fun singing and dancing.
4. 注意连接词与句子的运用。
以2001年高考作文为例,在信的开头,可加上“you want to know something about what is going on in schools in china?”这句话起承上启下的作用,使文章过渡自然;再如,用“what was worse?”引出减负前,晚上还要做作业,就寝时间11:30等要点。又如,“now i have more free time...” 可引出减负后的情况。另外,在信的结尾,可用“how about you? i’m looking forward to hearing from you.”来自然地结束这封信。
5. 使用过渡词语。
写好了每个句子,并不一定就是一篇好文章,因为作为一篇文章,还必须行文连贯。那么,如何使文章行文连贯呢?这就要求我们在组成篇章时,要用好过渡性词语,过渡性词语就像是我们组装机械时使用的润滑剂一样,起着润滑的作用。常用的过渡词语主要有:
并列递进:and, also, as well as, besides, what’s more, furthermore, moreover, etc.
