【范文】 Dear John, How is everything going? You know,I’m in Senior Three now.A selective test is going to be held next week in our school.Those who pass the test will have a chance to join a winter holiday camp in Oxford University.It has long been my dream to travel abroad and learn authentic English.And the winter camp is officially organized by the British Council.So I treasure the opportunity very much. Now I would like to enter for the test.However,my family are all against it. As far as I’m concerned,what they care more is the college entrance exam- ination,which I should concern the most.I don’t think it’s a waste of time to take part in the camp.Could you give me some advice? I believe I will benefit a lot from your valuable and timely advice. I’m looking forward to your reply.

B.There is a great demand across the country for all kinds of nutritious food. 第二句用“there be句型”开头,这样既改变了“主语+谓语+宾语”的单 调句型,又把想强调的意思突显出来。实际上,为了把文章写得生动活泼, 除了用主语开头外,还可以用句子的其他成分开头。 1.用状语开头 Too often,students stray into the habit of cheating on tests. Dark and empty,the house looked very different from the way I remembered it. 2.用同位语开头 Air,water and oxygen,everything is necessary for life. 3.用表语开头 Equally essential to the highest success in learning a language is intense in- terest plus persistent effort. 4.用宾语开头 My advice you would not listen to;my help you laughed at.Now you will have what you asked for. 5.以短语修饰语开头 (1)以介词短语开头 To me the news was very interesting,but to my wife very boring. (2)以分词短语开头 Disturbed by the discord of American life in recent decades,John took flight for the Pacific islands. (3)以不定式短语开头 To pass the exam,you should work very hard. 句式变化二:巧用连词 有的考生在作文中过多地使用简单句,成了简单句堆砌;有的写复杂 句时,动辄就用so,and,then,but,or,however,yet等,这样非但达不到丰富表 达方式的目的,反而使句子结构松散、呆板。为了避免这种现象,可以通 过使用其他连词,尤其是一些表示从属关系的连词,如 that,because,since, although,after,as,before,when,whenever,if,unless,as if等,不仅能够丰富句 型,而且还能够把思想表达得更清楚,意义更连贯。如: Natural resources are very limited.They will be exhausted in the near future. It is not true.But it becomes a major concern around the world.This is a widely accepted fact. 这段文字用几个简单句表达,它们之间内在的逻辑关系含糊不清,意思支 离破碎。如果使用连词,将简单句与其前后合并,形成主次关系,就把一个 比较复杂的内容和关系表达得层次清楚、结构严谨。如: It is a widely accepted fact that there is a major concern around the world for |
