2)接连句
所谓接连据,就是两个句子直接连在一起,既未使用连词,也未使用正确的标点符号。
接连句:Professionals such as lawyers or accountants usually work longer hours than factory workers they have greater freedom in planning their time.
正确句一:Professionals such as lawyers or accountants usually work longer hours than factory workers. However, they have greater freedom in planning their time.
正确句二:Professionals such as lawyers or accountants usually work longer hours than factory workers; however, they have greater freedom in planning their time.
3)句子连接不正确
所谓句子连接不正确,就是两个独立的句子之间以逗号连接,这是不合英语语法的。正确的做法是以连词、分号、冒号、句号等连接两个句子。
不正确句:Breaking chalk into two pieces is a physical change, there is no change in the composition of the chalk.
正确句:Breaking chalk into two pieces is a physical change, so there is no change in the composition of the chalk.
II 高分表达
除了在句式上长短句相结合准确表达外,新东方托福考试网建议新托福考生要使用一些特殊的句式,以使句型多样化。句型多样化也是作文得到高分的条件之一。除了我们之前经常提到的高分句式,如倒装句、强调句、状语前置、插入语等,笔者还提出另外一个句式的多样变化,即主语多样化。下面笔者将列举几个句子概括介绍前面四种句型,而重点分析主语多样化。
正常句: Luck only works in extreme cases.
倒装句: Only in extreme cases does luck work. (否定词位于句首的倒装。)
正常句:The internet provides people access to the latest information.
强调句:It is the internet that provides people access to the latest information. (强调the internet)
正常句:The environment has been deteriorating severely along with the development of industry.
状语前置句:Along with the accelerating development of industry, the environment has been deteriorating severely.
正常句:However, new zoos try to duplicate animals’ natural habitats as much as possible and give animals a comfortable amount of space.
插入语:New zoos, however, try to duplicate animals’ natural habitats as much as possible and give animals a comfortable amount of space. (连词however做插入语)
