应试作文的评分标准尽管描述语言不同,但都可以分为内容、组织和语言三个方面,如果是应用文,还要看语域(主要指语言使用是否符合场合)和格式。新四级作文的评分标准也不能脱离以上三大方面:内容按照题目提纲扩展即可;组织除了要注意段与段之间的连贯与衔接之外,还要特别注意考生最容易忽略的句与句之间的逻辑性;最难提高的是语言,即用词的丰富性和句子的复杂性。要拿到新四级写作高分,就必须在语言上有所起色,语言是绕不过去的一个心结,那么语言突破之路,到底在何方呢?答曰:简单句。
这是从广大考生的实际出发给出的回答。因为学了很多年的英语,大部分考生还是能够写出一些东西的,最起码能够写出一些英语的简单句吧。简单句包括S+V(主谓句),S+V+O(主谓宾), S+V+O+O(主谓宾宾),S+V+O+C(主谓宾宾补), S+V+C(主系表),复杂一些的句子无不是由这些简单句演变而来的。
①每年,都有很多大学生毕业。
②他们都想找到工作。
③这些工作可以给他们很多钱。
④这是不可能的。
我相信这样的句子大部分考生很快就可以写出来:
①Every year, many college students graduate.
②They all want to find jobs.
③These jobs can give them a lot of money.
④This is impossible.
第一句话属于五种简单句中的主谓句,第二句是主谓宾,第三句是主谓间宾直宾,第四句是主系表。
下面我们看看能不能润色一下:第一句话我们将熟悉的many改为heaps and heaps of (一批一批的),这是换词;然后?:from universities;又想到还有独立的学院,再加上and institutes.第一句话变成:Every year, heaps and heaps of college students graduate from universities and institutes.
这句话这样一改,便成气候了。
第二句和第三句可以用定语从句连接起来,因为第三句的主语是第二句最后jobs的重复,所以②+③成为:They all want to find jobs,which can give them a lot of money. 再润色,我们发现give可以改为offer,a lot of money可以改为handsome salaries.利用学过的语法知识我们可以让这个句子更加复杂,给定语从句中加一个插入语:they hope,放在which后面,这样这句话就成为:They all want to find jobs,which they hope can offer them handsome salaries.
第四句话也可以和前两句连在一起,这次不采用主从复合句,而采用并列句,因为意思发生转折,故用but连接,而impossible太绝对了,改为hardly possible,于是成为:They all want to find jobs,which they hope can offer them handsome salaries,but this is hardly possible.
所以最初的那句话,经过拆解、加工(换词和连句)形成了下面的一组句子:Every year, heaps and heaps of college students graduate from universities and institutes. They all want to find jobs,which they hope can offer them handsome salaries,but this is hardly possible.
上文总共32个词,与我们刚才认为很难达到的那个句子It is impossible for newly-graduated students to find well-paying jobs (10个词)相比,气势上毫不逊色,但是哪一种写法更适合广大考生的情况呢?当然是从熟悉的东西着手改造更为可取,像newly-graduated和 well-paying这样的天外来客式的词组需要积累,或者自己有意去搜寻。再强调一下:上面这组句子是我们从简单句变过来的。这说明:简单句这只丑小鸭也可以变成白天鹅!这是对四级考生写作应试方面最大的启示!
笔者坚定地认为,写好四级作文,切勿好高骛远,一下子就想写出来很复杂的句子可能会搞得遍体鳞伤。所以,要从可以掌控的东西出发,即将复杂的汉语思想分解成为简单句,或者说,学会想简单的句子,然后表达成为简单句,进而对之进行再加工,要么换词,要么连句,如此润色,写作可成矣!
简单句写作思路
英文写作的思维就像一个黑洞,似乎深不可测,但如果我们将写作的过程视为一个看不见的汉译英的过程就会简单明了得多。根据笔者的经验,英文写作一般是先想主语,因为主语是一句话的开头;再想谓语,谓语中应该会先写助动词,所以先想用什么时态、语态、情态;接下来是动词,动词要考虑的是用及物动词还是不及物动词,是系动词还是实义动词。如果是及物动词就要考虑跟宾语,系动词就要考虑跟表语。如下图所示:
系动词跟表语
下面,我们一起来写几句话。
例一: 国际旅游业创造了很多就业机会。
这句话比较简单。首先想想写这句话主语应该是什么?应该是“国际旅游业”,谓语应该是“创造”,还要带一个宾语 “就业机会”。这句话的主干应该是:旅游业创造就业机会。对应的简单句句型应该是主谓宾S+V+O.先写主语:International tourism;下面考虑时态,这应该是一个经常反复发生的动作,故用一般现在时,create这个动词应该加s;create是及物动词,所以后面加上 many job opportunities, 写成:International tourism creates many job opportunities.
例二:外出工作让母亲们没法照顾好孩子。
这是一个稍微难的句子,先想主语,是“外出工作”,在主语的位置要用动名词,写成Working outside:“让”不能写成let,要用make, 时态用一般现在时,故make要加s;make是及物动词,后跟宾语mothers, “没法照顾好孩子”就成为宾语补足语,构成S+V+O+C的句型,宾语补足语用形容词,写成unable to take good care of their children, 全句成为:Working outside makes women unable to take good care of their children.
当然还可以写成:
Working outside makes it impossible for women to take good care of their children.
这句话将原句进行了适当变通,使之成为“外出工作让母亲们照顾好孩子成为不可能”,然后活用了it作为形式宾语,将不定式后置。相比之下第一种写法稍显生硬。
第三种写法:Working outside deprives women of the chance to take good care of their children.
这句话将原句进行了适当变通,使之成为“外出工作剥夺了母亲们照顾好孩子的机会”,活用了deprive sb. of 这个句型。所以英语写作有很多可能,可选择自己最有把握的句子写出来。
例三:五月到九月份,公司的营业额极不稳定。
这句话在图表写作时可能遇到。五月到九月份可以理解为在五月到九月份,作时间状语,写成between May and September;主语选择“公司的营业额”,将这句话理解为“是极不稳定的”;谓语动词选择系动词be的过去式,为was:“不稳定的”用形容词 erratic, 这句话可以写成主系表结构S+V+C:Between May and September, the turnover of the company was fairly erratic.注意系动词所表示的“是”,经常在汉语思维中隐藏。
结束语:简单句需要同学们好好训练,因为简单句是走向更复杂句子结构的基础,也是新四级考生在临场考试时最能够有把握写好而不犯错的句型。

中国学生用英语写作文时,会有意无意地用汉语指导整个写作过程。由于英汉分属不同语系,在语义、语法、语用以及逻辑思维等方面存在较大差别,学生作文中出现许多错误。而简单句是英语写作中的常用句型。下面是读文网小编整理的英语写作中写简单句的方法,欢迎大家阅读!
1. “主语 + 谓语”(即“主谓”句型)
这一句型英汉语言结构形式完全相同,说明“某人或某物如何动作”,或者说“某人或某物自身怎样运动”。
例:They arrived in Harbin yesterday morning.
分析:“他们”(主语)“到了”(谓语动作)。
The earth turns around the sun.地球围绕太阳转。
The sun rises in the east, and sets in the west.太阳东升西落。
2. “主语 + 谓语 + 宾语”(即“主谓宾”句型)
这一句型英汉语言的结构形式完全相同,用以说明“某人或某物做什么事情”,或者说“某人或某物发出了动作,并且其动作涉及到另一个人或物”。
例:I study English.
分析:“我”(主语)“学习”(谓语动作)“英语”(宾语即动作涉及的对象)。
I like swimming.我喜欢游泳。
3. “主语 + 谓语 + 间接宾语 + 直接宾语”(即“主谓双宾”句型)
这一句型英汉语序结构相同,说明“某人为谁(间接宾语为人)做某事”,或者说“某人或物的运动涉及到两个对象,其中一个间接对象为人,另一个为物”。
例:Our teacher taught us English.
分析:“我们的老师”(主语)“教”(谓语动作)“我们”(间接宾语)“英语”(直接宾语)。
4. “主语 + 谓语 + 宾语 + 宾语补足语”(即“主谓宾补”句型)
这一句型说明“某人或某物要求(使、让)某人做什么”或“某人感觉某人或物怎么样”。
例: He asked her to go there.

She felt very tired. 她感觉到很累。
He became an engineer.他成为了一名工程师。
You look pale today, are you ill? 你今天脸色看起来苍白,病了吗?
8. 比较句型
这一句型用以比较物质甲与乙之间的异同。

古人的智慧对文明总是大有裨益。在电视情景喜剧、纽约式的机智问答和即兴的单句俏皮话大行其道的时代,现代意义上的西方智慧更像是一出美国情景喜剧里对白之类的东西。以下是近来在西方社会流传的一些具有代表性的单句睿语:
我每天只能取悦一个人。今天轮不到你。明天看上去也不太妙。
我喜欢最后期限。我尤其喜欢它们飞驰而过时发出的嗖嗖声。

接受这一事实--有时你是在雕像上随意排泄的鸽子,有时你是那倒霉的雕像。
需要某个人就像需要一顶降落伞。如果他们第一时间不在场,你就可能再也没有需要他们的机会了。

你比一群在花生酱中乱窜的海龟还要慢。
不要插手凶龙恶兽的事,因为你是松脆的,而被涂上番茄酱后味道好极了。
每个人在别人眼中都是怪物。
千万别和白痴争论。他们会把你拉低到和他们同等的水平,再用经验击败你。
切勿成为不可替代的人--如果没人能取代你,你便无法得到提升。
如果早晨第一件事就是吃一只活青蛙,那么余下的一天便不会有更糟的事发生了。
每件东西都可归入杂项。
老板偶然来到你的办公桌时,你总是在做一些无关紧要的事。

出租车,台湾称作计程车,广东及港澳地区称为的士,新加坡及马来西亚一带则称为德士;是按表收费的交通工具,收费一般较其它交通工具高。出租车英文“TAXI”为“taximeter”之略称,即为“计程表”或 “里程计”。其实TAXI在九国语言中拼法都一样:英语、法语、德语、瑞典语、丹麦语、挪威语、西班牙语、荷兰语、葡萄牙语。

你要去哪儿呢?再接上一句,you in a hurry?你急吗?当然,你可以直接先说一句。 I am in a hurry.
好了,其他的我们就不多说了,来学学地道的表达吧。
What intersection is that near? 哪个十字路口近?
The Central Hotel, please. I have to be there by 6:00. 请到中央旅馆。六点钟前我必须那里。
We shouldn’t have any trouble if the traffic isn’t too heavy. 只要交通不太拥挤,应该是没问题的。
Around 20 minutes, but it all depends on the traffic. 大约20分钟左右,不过要看交通状况如何。
I am leaving for Boston at 1:20 pm on a Greyhound. I will have to go back to the Consulate General to pick up my baggage. 我将乘坐1点20分的灰狗汽车去波士顿。我必须先回总领事馆取行李。
如果你遇到一些交通堵塞traffic jam,可能你会很紧张时间问题,所以可以问一句,Can we get there in half an hour, sir? 我们能在一小时之内到那儿吗?
Goodness me. We are really in a hurry.天哪,时间还真的很紧呢。
在西方的大小城镇中,出租车随处可见。要乘出租车只要在街边一站,把手一扬或加上一句“Taxi”就行了。当然,为了方便或其他需要,也可以到专门出租车站叫车或是打电话订车(or-dering a taxi)。即使在自己土生土长的国家中搭出租车,都常有和司机发生麻烦(trouble)的事发生,更何况到了国外,再加上语言的障碍,就更有可能与出租车司机纠缠不清了。所以,在搭出租车之前,至少要懂得如何讲目的地及到达目的地(destination)的方法。

下面是读文网小编整理的双语美文:年轻一代现代生活单句睿语,欢迎大家阅读!
IN This ARTICLE: Wisdom today meanssomething different for the young, modem Westerngeneration.
Wisdom of the ancients always served civilisationwell. In the age of the TV sitcom , witty New Yorkrepartee and the instant one-liner, Western wisdomin the modern sense can mean something more likethe dialogue from an American sitcom. Here’ssampling of the some of the wittier one-linescirculating through Western society circles these days:
I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow is not looking goodeither.
I love deadlines. I especially like the wooshing sound they make as they go flying by.
Tell me what you need, and I’ll tell you how to get along without it.
Accept that some days you are the pigeon and some days the statue.
Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If they aren’t there the first time, chances areyou won’t be needing them again.
On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the escape key.
You are slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter.
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, because you are crunchy and taste good withketchup.
Everybody is somebody else’s weirdo.
Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Don’t be irreplaceable--if you can’t be replaced, you can’t be promoted.
Eat one live frog the first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you for therest of the day.
Everything can be filed under miscellaneous.
You are always doing something marginal when the boss drops by your desk.
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to thequestion "how would adventure star Indiana Jones handle this?"
I don’t have an attitude problem. you have a perception problem.
本文简介:对今天西方的年轻一代来说,智慧别有一番含义。
古人的智慧对文明总是大有裨益。在电视情景喜剧、纽约式的机智问答和即兴的单句俏皮话大行其道的时代,现代意义上的西方智慧更像是一出美国情景喜剧里对白之类的东西。以下是近来在西方社会流传的一些具有代表性的单句睿语:
我每天只能取悦一个人。今天轮不到你。明天看上去也不太妙。
我喜欢最后期限。我尤其喜欢它们飞驰而过时发出的嗖嗖声。
告诉我你需要什么,然后我会告诉你没有它怎么过。
接受这一事实--有时你是在雕像上随意排泄的鸽子,有时你是那倒霉的雕像。
需要某个人就像需要一顶降落伞。如果他们第一时间不在场,你就可能再也没有需要他们的机会了。
在生活的键盘上,始终要把一个手指按在“退出”键上。
你比一群在花生酱中乱窜的海龟还要慢。
不要插手凶龙恶兽的事,因为你是松脆的,而被涂上番茄酱后味道好极了。
每个人在别人眼中都是怪物。
千万别和白痴争论。他们会把你拉低到和他们同等的水平,再用经验击败你。
切勿成为不可替代的人--如果没人能取代你,你便无法得到提升。
如果早晨第一件事就是吃一只活青蛙,那么余下的一天便不会有更糟的事发生了。
每件东西都可归入杂项。
老板偶然来到你的办公桌时,你总是在做一些无关紧要的事。
碰到难题时,把它简化成这样一个问题——“惊险片明星印第安那·琼斯会怎样处理?”--你就能比较容易地解决它了。
不是我的态度有问题,而是你的感觉有问题。

托福听力是很多考生应对考试的难点所在。今天与大家分享托福听力练习技巧——记住单词的声音形象,帮助大家有效攻克托福考试。
在托福教学的过程中我们发现,很多同学在听听力的过程中,对于很多单词的意思难以及时反应出来。然而在之后的原文分析过程中,这些同学又往往能通过视觉输入单词的拼写而认出单词。造成这种普遍现象的原因是什么呢?经验丰富的Edward老师将为大家就此问题详细解答。
简单来讲,这是考生对于单词的声音形象不熟悉造成的。很多考生在备考背单词时,遵循的方式往往是单纯看-背-拼写,诚然这种方式对于记住单词来说是最快的,然而这种背单词方式忽略了语言中非常重要的发音部分。英语与其他语言一样,拥有三个主要的成分:语音、书写、含义。语音是单词学习中非常重要的一部分。同时对于听力来讲,这是非常关键的,即便你认识很多单词,但是难以在听听力的时候将他们准确识别,听力考高分当然会不变得容易。
为了解决这个问题,有的考生会在背单词时候根据音标默念单词,然而由于大家的音标知识并不牢固,而且更多的人并不清楚美式发音与英式发音的区别,默念单词导致的实际上是更坏的结果-印象中的声音形象与实际相差太远,甚至难以纠正。
这个问题正确的解决方式应该是在背单词的时候辅以听随单词书附带的词汇录音,好的单词书比如红宝书和词以类记都带有纯正美式发音的词汇录音。在背单词时候听录音能够让考生对于单词的声音形象有一个正确的认识,同时由于多器官共用,考生也能更轻松的记住单词。
在检查自己是否已经对于一个单词的声音形象是否足够熟悉时,我们也可以使用录音:听一个单词然后测自己在多长时间内能够反应出来单词的中文意思。当反应时间超过两秒时,这个单词的声音形象就可以被判定为不熟悉了。虽然两秒时间听起来很短,然而实际上在听听力的过程中,由于托福听力材料语速较快,每一个单词能分到的时间还不到一秒。如果听完一个单词单独两秒还没有反应出来,在实际考试过程中就更难反应出来它的意思了。
最后,希望大家多加练习,克服单词学习中的语音困难,轻松记住单词,成功拿下托福听力。
托福听力--掌握这7大技巧想在托福听力提分 so easy !
1.已真题为本
没有完全了解和熟悉托福听力真题前,不要去听friends,voa,空中美语,等,特别是不要听疯狂英语。也许我的能力不够,依照我看疯狂英语要是你能听懂2/3,那么你听力已经不是一般水平了,所以你能够熟悉所有真题,耳熟能详,就已经算是功力高深了,千万不要好高骛远。
2.听4次ok,再不懂就看文章
全部听完真题,你可以试着背托福听力里面一些句子,有些人主张听不出就死听,直到听懂,我不是很理解
听力听不懂原因有三:
a、连读
b、词汇不认识
c、习语不懂。
试问听力也是一个积累口语词汇的过程,如果你听多次不懂,也不肯翻文字出来背,那么这些就是不懂的东西,甚至你查字典才能明白的东西,又如何指望自己在一遍遍听中搞懂呢?其实你认真背一下,再结合磁带读几次,这个东西就是你自己的,何必反复听,听到最后还是不懂,费时费力。
3.重视名词
我建议大家把历年托福听力中出现名词背一下,很管用,这些词汇都是长对话里的重要特征,其实听懂这些往往对你猜测答案有意想不到的效果,其实托福听力中长对话一般不会说和我们常识相反的事物,你能够听明白在说个什么东西,即使后来很多不懂,连蒙带猜也可以做对3-4个。
4.简短答案不忽视
托福听力中对于四个选项都很简短的长对话答案,要先有印象,这些答案往往是时间,比值,问题顺序和文章顺序基本一致,如果出在第二题,则答案基本在对话开头,你就盯住选项,听到哪个选哪个,尽管放心不会错,否则一旦你漏听,神仙也救不了你,因为答案短,则对话提及的时间也短。
5.一边听对话一边做题
首先,容易造成听后不反应文章意思的恶习,的确大部分你能够听懂,基本都可以做对题,那么你是否想过有些你似乎理解意思,其实根本是错误的,只有做过题目对过答案才能够纠正,就算不存在以上问题,虽然听力选项答案简单,但是个体浏览和理解速度有差异,长期只听不作题必定导致你扫描答案速度降低。其次,托福听力答案偶有陷阱,D比A好,可是一上来就选A,所以这种细心和灵感是需要平时养成的。
最后,在你万一听不懂的情况下,你看着选项必须猜题,这个猜其实包含了你使用一些听到的词汇来推测答案,这也是能力,试问你平时不猜,考试的时候怎么会猜对?
6.不用诵读,重点在听和背
托福听力练习时要求大家跟读,除了一些连读需要跟读几次,一些词汇习语背一下以外,听一次的效果远比读一次好,首先,这是听力不是朗诵会,第二很多人很多单词读音不标准。我这样说是为表明听一次效率比读一次好,比较实战。
7.加入激情到学习中
我主张在托福听力中要精听,少泛听,特别是傻坐着,以为带着耳机听到耳朵疼就出效果了,你如果没有激情,不去想想对话的场景,我在什么时候可以使用,那么还不如去做语法和阅读,毕竟时间有限。所以你不要希望听磁带和MP3次数多了就可以达到融会贯通的境界-不可能。
托福听力中跟读有利于培养和提高学生学习英语兴趣,但要持之以恒。如果过程中你实在觉得这个复杂,那么就听N遍之后跟着感觉走吧。托福听力学习中,不仅要有耐心,更重要的是有信心。

托福阅读部分中的句子插入题相对于词汇题、句子简化题、事实信息题,它在每篇文章都会出现一道题,而且位置是固定的,一定在最后一题内容小结题之前的倒数第二题,如此一来若是答错了也不影响考生对文章的理解和做题。那么如何应对该类考题呢?读文网小编接下来就跟大家分享toefl阅读句子插入题的解法。
既然这句插入的话对文章本身是没有影响的,那么插入的句子插在某段段首的几率大么?答案明显是否定的。原因呢?因为外国人的思维模式比较直截了当,不会像中国人那样藏着掖着,抛砖引玉或是画龙点睛。所以往往在某段第一句的句子在该段都起着至关重要的角色:主题句,它会总结上文,而更多的情况是引领下文。
我们排除了一个答案:就是段首的位置,但是还有三个干扰选项啊!!!句子插入题到底在考察什么呢?答案是:上下文的衔接。插入的句子一定要和上下文衔接得当。下面环球托福老师就带广大的托儿们了解句子插入题解题方法。
步骤一:先阅读要插入的句子。
步骤二:关注插入的句子主语部分,要在该插入句子之前得以重复。
以TPO4 Deer Population of the Puget Sound的句子插入题为例。
Paragraph 2-3: Nearly any kind of plant of the forest understory can be part of a deer's
diet, where the forest inhibits the growth of grass and other meadow plants,
the black-tailed deer browses on huckleberry, salad, dogwood, and almost any other shrub
or herb. But this is fair-weather feeding. What keeps the black-tailed deer alive in the harsher seasons of plant decay and dormancy? One
compensation for not hibernating is the built-in urge to migrate. Deer may move from high-elevation browse areas in summer down to the lowland areas in late fall.
Even with snow on the ground, the high bushy understory is exposed;
also snow and wind bring down leafy branches of cedar, hemlock, red alder,
and other arboreal fodder.
The numbers of deer have fluctuated markedly since the entry of Europeans
into Puget Sound country. The early explorers and settlers told of abundant
deer in the early 1800s and yet almost in the same breath bemoaned the lack of
this succulent game animal.
Look at the four squares [] that indicate where the following sentence could
be added to the passage.
There food is available and accessible throughout the winter.
Where would the sentence best fit?
插入的句子主语部分出现两个单词there 和food, there是地点状语,说明插入的位置之前出现了地点和食物。而文中的四个插入的句子只有第二处之前提到了high-elevation browser和lowland areas, 并且还提到了鹿吃的browse。所以答案是第二处。
步骤三:注意插入句子的逻辑关系词:转折,递进和因果关系表示结果的词。
下面以TPO 3 Long-term stability of ecosystem为例。
Paragraph 6: Ecologists are especially interested to know what factors
contribute to the resilience of communities because climax communities all over
the world are being severely damaged or destroyed by human activities. The
destruction caused by the volcanic explosion of Mount St. Helens, in the
northwestern United States, for example, pales in comparison to the destruction
caused by humans. We need to know what aspects of a community are most
important to the community’s resistance to destruction, as well as its
recovery.
Look at the four squares that indicate where the following sentence could
be added to the passage.
In fact, damage to the environment by humans is often much more severe
than damage by natural events and processes.
Where would the sentence best fit?
插入的句子主语部分是:damage to the environment by human, 要和原文得以重复,我们不难发现在第二处和第三处都有提到,但是插入句子的开头出现了一个逻辑关系词:in fact。这个词的意思是:事实上,在托福阅读插入句子中表示递进。如果发现逻辑关系词,问题似乎就迎刃而解了,我们发现第六段的第二句是个例子,也就表明第二句话一定是为前面一句话服务的,这句话的意思是:火山爆发所造成的破坏比起人类造成的破坏显得苍白无力。但是我们发现第一句话中完全没有提到自然灾害所造成的破坏,只是提到了人类活动所造成的破坏。所以我们应该把插入的句子放在第二处,它对第一处进一步阐明作者思想。
环球托福老师也帮助大家总结了常出现在句子插入题中的逻辑关系词:
表示转折:however, but, nevertheless, nonetheless
表示递进:in fact, actually, indeed, furthermore, additionally, besides
表示结果:as a consequence, as a result, thus, hence, so
除了上述三点做题方法,环球托福老师还总结了插入句子中的表示持续性的动词,例如:continue to, keep on, go on, again, 这些单词和词组都有一个共同的特点,都和再一次有关。换句话说,既然它说了“继续,再一次,持续”则意味着“原来有过,所以才能继续”,所以在找插入点时,只要把持续做的事,在段落中找到即可,插入的句子一定插在它的后面。
环球托福老师建议我们考生一定要对以上三种做题方法进行掌握,相信托儿们一定能秒杀句子插入题。
