書面表達(dá)六大高分策略
甘肅 李艷麗
要想書面表達(dá)得高分,除了要點齊全、基本語法和常用單詞拼寫無嚴(yán)重錯誤之外,還要在表達(dá)的多樣性、復(fù)雜性以及上下文的連貫性上下工夫,要寫出有特色、有亮點的文章去主動創(chuàng)造得分點,才能獲取高分。
“良好的開端是成功的一半。”每篇文章的首句往往是文章的窗口,會讓閱卷老師對考生的作文形成第一印象,所以必須讓老師在第一時間判斷你是否讀懂了題意;同樣,好的結(jié)尾也是十分重要的,尤其是用倒裝句、強(qiáng)調(diào)句等高級語法結(jié)構(gòu)結(jié)尾,會給文章增色不少。例如:
1.(2014·全國新課標(biāo)卷Ⅱ)I often imagine what life will be like in the future. I think my life will be very different in ten years.(第一、二句統(tǒng)領(lǐng)全文,提綱挈領(lǐng))
2.(2014·浙江卷)Knowing that our library is going to buy books,I’d like to give some suggestions.(開篇用非謂語動詞短語作狀語,正式、高級)
3.(2014·福建卷)This quotation from Sir Winston Churchill tells us that we shouldn’t get discouraged right after failures. Rather,we should keep trying with enthusiasm.(開門見山,點明主題)
4.(2013·陜西卷)Tired as I was,I never felt so happy.(用as引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句結(jié)尾)
5.(2013·江蘇卷)Only when we match our words with actions can we make a difference in whatever we hope to accomplish.(用倒裝句結(jié)尾)
6.(2014·安徽卷)I hope you’ll soon feel calmer and carry on as normal.(結(jié)尾處表達(dá)美好的希望,突出寫作目的)
7.(2014·福建卷)What’s important is that we should stick at it.(用主語從句和表語從句結(jié)尾,句式多變、高級)
在書面表達(dá)中使用恰當(dāng)?shù)某烧Z或諺語,會給文章增色不少。常用的成語或諺語如下:
A friend in need is a friend indeed.患難見真情。
Where there is a will,there is a way.有志者事竟成。
Practice makes perfect. 熟能生巧。
No pains,no gains.一分耕耘,一分收獲。
Nothing is impossible.一切皆有可能。
Actions speak louder than words.事實勝于雄辯。
Don’t cry over spilled milk.別為灑了的牛奶哭泣(覆水難收)。
Heaven helps those who help themselves.自助者得天助。
One hour today is worth two tomorrow.爭分奪秒效率高。
Well begun is half done. 良好的開端是成功的一半。

Knowledge is power.知識就是力量。
Strike while the iron is hot. 趁熱打鐵。
情感類詞匯是指那些表達(dá)某種情緒感覺的詞,如高興、憤怒、同情、厭惡、樂觀、悲傷等,以形容詞、副詞居多,也有名詞、動詞、短語等。如:glad,pleased,delighted,interested,bored,happy,angry,optimistic,satisfied,be glad to do sth.,love,warm,lucky,luckily,sincerely,rush,keep calm 等。在書面表達(dá)中使用恰當(dāng)?shù)那楦蓄愒~匯,可使讀者體會到文章的內(nèi)在情感,實現(xiàn)表情達(dá)意的目的,同時也是讓閱卷老師眼前一亮的地方。
1.(2012·江西卷)Reading is my favorite hobby. I can never stop the love for reading because books are like wise teachers as well as good friends in my life.
2.(2012·湖北卷)Disappointed as I felt at the shabby campus and poorly-equipped classroom,I found the teachers patient and considerate. Besides,I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere in class.

一篇優(yōu)秀的文章離不開短語、句型以及修辭手法的支撐,如keep in one’s mind,not only...but also...等短語、強(qiáng)調(diào)句、with復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)、非謂語動詞、復(fù)合句、感嘆句和倒裝句等。

5.(2014·安徽卷)The truth is everyone will have one of those periods when things seem to be going wrong,so you don’t have to worry so much.( 定語從句 )
能清楚、連貫地表達(dá)自己的思想是考綱對考生的書面表達(dá)能力的要求之一。要做到文章上下連貫、邏輯嚴(yán)密,可以使用適當(dāng)?shù)倪^渡性詞匯,因為過渡性詞匯能增加句與句、段與段之間的連貫性。書面表達(dá)中常用的連接詞歸納如下:
1.表示并列補(bǔ)充關(guān)系的過渡性詞匯:besides,also,what’s more,what’s worse,more over,further more,in addition(to), as well as等。例如:

1.高級詞匯、高級用法創(chuàng)造亮點
書面表達(dá)的評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)鼓勵考生使用較高級的詞匯,這就意味著考生應(yīng)在力所能及的情況下嘗試使用高級詞匯,通過高級詞匯來展示自己的寫作水平,從而提高書面表達(dá)的得分檔次。
例一:在周末我們有很多作業(yè)。
普通表達(dá):At the weekend,we have a lot of homework to do.
高級表達(dá):At the weekend,we have endless homework to do.
例二:聽到這個消息,我感到很失望。
普通表達(dá):Hearing the news,I felt very discouraged.
高級表達(dá):Hearing the news,I felt kind of discouraged.
例三:他們幫助我們更好地了解自然科學(xué)并且喚起我們對科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)的好奇心。
They help us understand science subjects better and arouse our curiosity about scientific discoveries.
其實,一些普通詞匯如果使用了較新穎的表達(dá)形式,或在特定的語言環(huán)境下將其運(yùn)用得恰到好處,也可視為高級用法。
例一:他低著頭,一言不發(fā)地站在老師的面前。
He stood before his teacher silently,with his head down.(with這個普通詞匯用在復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)中,產(chǎn)生了高級表達(dá)的效果)
例二:貓?zhí)^矮墻,爬上樓梯,然后鉆進(jìn)角落里的一個洞里去了。
The cat jumped over the short wall,up the stairs and then into a hole in the corner.(句中的over,up,into都是普通詞匯,但是用在這樣一個特定的語境里,準(zhǔn)確而生動,也可將其視為高級用法,從而提升了表達(dá)的檔次)
2.最優(yōu)表達(dá)創(chuàng)造亮點
important—be of great importance
be admitted to... —be a member of
I want to know—I’m eager to know
I wonder—I’m curious about...
I don’t understand—I have no idea about
Could you—Would you be so kind as to...
3.句式多樣,活潑生動,亮點頻出
(1)(2014·福建卷)So excited was I that I couldn’t wait to try my hand at riding it.(“so+形容詞/副詞”置于句首時要使用部分倒裝)
(2)(2014·湖北卷)Compared with the escaped driver,I am proud of what I did.(句首使用非謂語動詞短語作狀語,句尾使用what 引導(dǎo)的賓語從句)
(3)(2014·湖北卷)As a member of the society,I am aware that being responsible is what it takes to make a better society.(-ing形式短語作主語,緊接著使用了what 引導(dǎo)的表語從句)
(4)(2014·遼寧卷)Everyone of you is expected to be part of the event which encourages creative minds and gives full play to your DIY skills.(句中使用了“be expected to do sth.”結(jié)構(gòu),句末使用了由which 引導(dǎo)的定語從句)
