在考場(chǎng)作文中,如何在限定的時(shí)間和字?jǐn)?shù)要求內(nèi)有效地表達(dá)自己的觀點(diǎn),展示英語語言水平并贏得評(píng)卷老師的認(rèn)可,是考生備考書面表達(dá)時(shí)經(jīng)常遇到的難題。潤(rùn)色文章從而更好地顯示寫作水平,首先要從寫好每一個(gè)句子開始。若過多使用簡(jiǎn)單句,便削弱了句子的信息量和感染力,因此建議在寫作中盡量爭(zhēng)取寫復(fù)合句,合情合理地增加句子內(nèi)容。本文將介紹運(yùn)用“套句(sentence?pattern)+觀點(diǎn)(opinion)+適當(dāng)增加(addition)”(簡(jiǎn)稱SOA)的句子寫作思路,巧妙增加句子信息,豐富句子內(nèi)涵。
套句(sentence?pattern),是指根據(jù)寫作話題提前歸納相關(guān)高級(jí)句型。提前熟悉相關(guān)套句,避免語法錯(cuò)誤,在考場(chǎng)上碰到類似話題時(shí)便可得心應(yīng)手。常考話題所涉及的套句如下:
一、表達(dá)觀點(diǎn)
in?ones?opinion,?...
from?ones?perspective,?...
as?far?as?sb?be?concerned,?...
sb?believe/?argue/?consider?that...
sb?hold?the?opinion?that...
sb?be?of?the?opinion?that...
二、建議
sb?be?supposed?to?do?sth
suggest/recommend/advise?that?sb(should)do?sth
It?is?suggested/?recommended?/advised?that?sb(should)do?sth
It?is?high?time?that?sb?should?do?sth
It?makes?sense?for?sb?to?do?sth
It?makes?a?great?difference?to?do?sth
三、贊成
sb?be?in?favour?of
sb?be?for?the?idea?that...
sb?subscribe?to?the?view?that...?.
四、反對(duì)
sb?be?opposed?to?sth
sb?be?opposed?to?the?opinion?that...
sb?be?against?the?opinion?that...
五、目的
in?order?to?do?sth
so?as?to?do?sth
in?an?effort?to?do?sth
in?an?attempt?to?do?sth
with?the?aim/purpose?of?doing?sth
六、原因
because?of,?due?to,?owing?to,?thanks?to,?as?a?result?of,?as?a?consequence?of
for?the?reason?that...
because,?since,?as
七、闡述事物事件的優(yōu)點(diǎn)
sth?enable?sb?to?do?sth
sth?provide?sb?with?a?chance?to?do?sth
sth?play?an?important?role?in...
sth?have?a?positive?impact/effect/influence?on
(with?sth,)sb?be?able?to?do?sth
八、不能夠做某事,做某事遇到困難
sb?fail?to?do?sth
sb?be?not?able?to?do?sth
sb?have?difficulty?/?trouble(in)doing?sth/?with?sth
sb?be?faced?with?the?problem?that...
sth/sb?prevent?sb?from?doing?sth
sth?make?it?impossible?for?sb?to?do?sth
It?was?difficult/challenging?for?sb?to?do?sth
觀點(diǎn)(opinion),是指根據(jù)寫作話題所提出的主要觀點(diǎn)。
適當(dāng)增加(addition),是對(duì)主要觀點(diǎn)進(jìn)行聯(lián)想以及補(bǔ)充說明,從而使句子更有說服力,更好地幫助評(píng)卷老師了解該觀點(diǎn)。適當(dāng)增加是為觀點(diǎn)服務(wù)的,可以進(jìn)一步補(bǔ)充說明提出該觀點(diǎn)的理由、原因,或闡述該觀點(diǎn)的作用、影響等。對(duì)于同一內(nèi)容的表達(dá),所選擇的措辭不同,顯示出的寫作水平也有所不同。因此,建議考生積累高級(jí)觀點(diǎn)詞句,應(yīng)對(duì)不同話題。例如,對(duì)于“讀書的好處”這一話題,考生能使用enrich?ones?knowledge,?broaden?ones?horizons,便可凸顯寫作水平。
觀點(diǎn)和適當(dāng)增加這兩部分內(nèi)容,通常話題相近,兩者相輔相成。考生可以從積累的素材中選擇兩個(gè)詞組,構(gòu)成符合邏輯的“觀點(diǎn)+適當(dāng)增加”,爭(zhēng)取使用復(fù)合句言簡(jiǎn)意賅地完成寫作內(nèi)容??忌€可以運(yùn)用相關(guān)句型和語法知識(shí),巧妙整合“觀點(diǎn)+適當(dāng)增加”。常用的整合方法有定語從句,“so?+adj.?/adv.?that”的句型,非謂語動(dòng)詞結(jié)構(gòu),狀語從句等。
高級(jí)觀點(diǎn)大致分為兩類:
1.?與人物成就、精神、品質(zhì)相關(guān)的觀點(diǎn)。
achieve?ones?goal
realize?ones?dream
overcome?the?difficulty
face?the?challenge/problem
equip?sb?with?knowledge?/?skills
be?equipped?with?knowledge?/?skills
devote?oneself?to
apply?what?we?have?learnt?to?practice
further?ones?academic?study
spare?no?efforts?to?do?sth
remain?calm
stay?optimistic
hold?an?optimistic?mind
fulfil?ones?responsibility
shoulder?the?responsibility?to?do?sth
make?full?preparations?for
be?fully?prepared?for
be?awarded?+?prizes
2.?活動(dòng)或事件的作用和好處
develop/enhance/improve?practical?skills
build?up?ones?confidence
shape?ones?personality
broaden?ones?horizons
enrich?ones?experience?/?knowledge
raise?the?efficiency
cultivate?ones?interest?in
arouse?ones?awareness?of
deepen/promote?ones?understanding?of
relieve?ones?burden?of
strengthen?relationship?with?sb
be?well?received
earn?great?popularity
平時(shí)積累高級(jí)觀點(diǎn),在考場(chǎng)上便可靈活套用,提升句子檔次。以2021年新高考全國(guó)Ⅰ卷為例,要求考生寫一篇短文給報(bào)社投稿,內(nèi)容包括讀報(bào)的經(jīng)歷、喜愛的欄目、期待和祝福。談到“喜愛的欄目”的時(shí)候,可以適當(dāng)運(yùn)用從句闡述欄目的內(nèi)容以及喜歡該欄目的原因,高級(jí)觀點(diǎn)便可充實(shí)句子,為文章增添色彩。例如:In?my?opinion,?my?favorite?section?is?scientific?research?simply?because?the?information?provided?broadens?my?horizons?and?equips?me?with?the?updated?knowledge?about?science.
As?far?as?I?am?concerned,?I?like?the?column?where?some?inspiring?stories?of?the?youths?are?told,?in?which?case?I?am?able?to?learn?from?my?peers?and?build?up?courage?to?overcome?difficulty?in?my?study.
2021年廣州一模,考生就主題為“勞動(dòng)創(chuàng)造美好生活”的生活技能云端展示活動(dòng)寫一篇報(bào)道,內(nèi)容包括:活動(dòng)主題、展示內(nèi)容(烹飪、急救等)以及活動(dòng)反響。關(guān)于“活動(dòng)主題”和“活動(dòng)反響”,題目并沒有給出具體的寫作信息,而“展示內(nèi)容”部分,題目也僅提供了關(guān)鍵詞作為參考,考生必須自行聯(lián)想發(fā)揮,才可以充實(shí)文章。
對(duì)于“活動(dòng)反響”,套句部分可在“闡述事物的優(yōu)點(diǎn)”中選用,如sth?enable?sb?to?do,?sth?provide?sb?with?a?chance?to?do等。觀點(diǎn)和適當(dāng)增加部分均可在“活動(dòng)或事件的作用和好處”選取,如enrich?ones?knowledge,?arouse?ones?interest?in,?arouse?ones?awareness?of等。該部分內(nèi)容套用SOA公式,可整合如下:
(1)The?activity,?which?has?earned?great?popularity?among?students?(適當(dāng)增加),?has?enables?students?to?enrich?their?knowledge?and?improve?practical?skills?(套句+觀點(diǎn)).
(2)The?great?event?has?a?great?impact?on?students?life(套句+適當(dāng)增加),?since?students?are?able?to?arouse?their?awareness?of?acquiring?hands-on?skills.?(套句+觀點(diǎn))
“活動(dòng)主題”:With?the?aim?of?enhancing?students?life?skills?(套句+觀點(diǎn)),?a?meaningful?event?themed“Work?Creates?a?Better?Life”was?held?online?in?our?school?last?week.
“展示內(nèi)容”:A?chief?cook?was?invited?to?share?with?us?cooking?skills,?which?cultivated?students?interest?in?preparing?delicious?food?in?their?daily?life.(觀點(diǎn)+適當(dāng)增加)
The?first?aid?activity?was?so?impressive?that?(套句+適當(dāng)增加)students?were?provided?with?a?chance?to?perform?first?aid?under?the?guidance?of?the?doctors.(套句+觀點(diǎn))
Senior?doctors?were?invited?to?give?lectures?on?how?to?conduct?first?aid?in?the?emergency,?allowing?students?to?pay?more?attention?to?life?skills?in?their?daily?life.(套句+觀點(diǎn)+適當(dāng)增加)
再以2021年八省聯(lián)考為例,李華準(zhǔn)備參加學(xué)校組織的英文詩朗誦比賽,寫信給外教求助。其中,“請(qǐng)求外教推薦英文詩”部分可以這樣表達(dá):I?wonder?if?you?can?recommend?me?some?English?poems,?in?which?case?I?am?able?to?make?full?preparations?for?the?coming?contest.(套句+觀點(diǎn)+適當(dāng)增加)
SOA也可以運(yùn)用在2020年高考全國(guó)Ⅰ卷書面表達(dá):以身邊值得尊敬和愛戴的人為題寫一篇短文,內(nèi)容包括人物簡(jiǎn)介和尊敬和愛戴的原因??忌x定人物后,便可在腦海里搜索積累中的素材,篩選出符合該人物的高級(jí)觀點(diǎn)。例如,考生介紹抗擊新冠病毒的英雄人物鐘南山院士,與介紹鐘院士匹配的觀點(diǎn)可以有:shoulder?ones?responsibility,?overcome?the?difficulty,?face?the?challenge/problem,?spare?no?efforts?to?do?sth?,?be?equipped?with?knowledge?/?skills,?devote?oneself?to,?apply?what?we?have?learnt?to?practice,?spare?no?efforts?to?do?sth等。整理了符合該文的觀點(diǎn)素材后,便可以結(jié)合套句充實(shí)每一個(gè)句子。
From?my?perspective,?the?great?man?deserving?my?respect?is?Doctor?Zhong?Nanshan,?who?devotes?all?his?effort?to?saving?peoples?life?in?the?face?of?COVID-19.
I?admire?him?for?the?simple?reason?that?he?spares?no?effort?to?overcome?the?difficulty,?which?sets?us?a?good?example?of?shouldering?social?responsibility.?Equipped?with?professional?medical?knowledge,?he?applies?what?he?has?learnt?to?practice?and?achieves?great?success?in?the?battle?against?the?disease.
有了SOA的句子寫作意識(shí),在寫作時(shí)便可以靈活使用該公式,快速寫出一個(gè)句式優(yōu)美、內(nèi)容充實(shí)的句子。若偶爾遇到比較陌生的話題,臨場(chǎng)發(fā)揮沒有想出很好的高級(jí)觀點(diǎn),也有積累的套句以及整合“觀點(diǎn)+適當(dāng)增加”的句型和語法結(jié)構(gòu)可以派上用場(chǎng),句子依然會(huì)有亮點(diǎn)。此外,考生還聯(lián)想課本相關(guān)話題素材,并有機(jī)結(jié)合曾經(jīng)寫作的文章,不斷積累不同話題的套句和觀點(diǎn)。在練習(xí)中多運(yùn)用SOA原則,便能熟能生巧,避免文章空洞、觀點(diǎn)膚淺,展示寫作水平。
