在SAT写作考试中,SAT写作经验语法结构也是很重要的。
1、强调宾语的时候,再用被动语态
虽然长难句能够表明写作水平,但是清晰明了的表达才是关键。例如:
In the fall, not only did the cows have to be milked, but also the hay was mowed and stacked by my grandfather"s family.
本句不够简洁的原因是本句的重心应该是忙碌的家庭-my grandfather"s family”,而使用了被动语态后,仿佛重心变成了cows和hay。
下面的表达方式是主动语态,相对来说更简洁一些:In the fall, my grandfather"s family not only milked the cow but also mowed and stacked the hay.
2、 一个句子的主语和谓语动词应该能够反映句子中的最重要的意思
例如:The situation that resulted in my grandfather"s not being able to study engineering was that his father needed help on the farm.
从意思上来分析,上面这句话需要表达的重要的概念是grandfather"s not being able to study”,而在表达这个概念时,原句用的主语是situation,谓语动词是was,不能强调需要表达的重点概念,可以改为下面这句话:
My grandfather couldn"t study engineering because his father needed help on the farm.
就SAT写作经验而言,同学们要记住并不是越复杂的语法结构就能够拿到高分,除非您能够在SAT写作学习中完全掌握这类句型,否则很容易画虎不成反类犬,SAT写作与高分无缘了。
3. 避免频繁使用there be”结构
例如下面的句子:There were 25 cows on the farm that my grandfather had to milk every day. It was hard work for my grandfather.
可以改为:
My grandfather worked hard. He had to milk 25 cows on the farm every day.
更简洁的句式为:
My grandfather worked hard milking 25 cows daily.
4. 把从句改为短语或单词
例如:Dairy cows were raised on the farm,which was located100 kilometers from the nearest university and was in an area that was remote.
简介的表达方式为:
The dairy farm was located in a remote area,100 kilometers tothe nearest university.
5. 用更为精确的一个动词来代替动词短语
例如下面这句话:My grandfather didn"t have time to stand around doing nothing with his school friends.
Stand around doing nothing其实可以用一个动词来表达,即loiter:
My grandfather didn"t have time to loiter with his school friends.
