嗨,今天新航道的小编来教大家怎么修饰托福写作文章,从此告别大白话。
A:状语前置
在英文写作里,状语前置是一种相当常用的句式变换手法。

Clearly, this is a positive alternative for motivated parents and their children.
Undoubtedly, the most basic elements of writing are to be found in pictures.
B 句中做手脚
同理,在新托福作文的句中也经常可以引入小短语,它会让句子显得更加灵活多变。
Shopping, a necessary part of daily life, is increasingly time-consuming (消耗时间的 ) in North America.

C副词领路人
有些表示幅度或者范围的副词,如果放在形容词的前面引导形容词,经常可以起到让它们后面的形容词更加明确的作用。
例如: The ability to speak English is increasingly important in a global society.
The medicine doesn’t cure the illness. It merely ( just) stops the pain.
The product’s success can’t be solely(- only,但注意solely只能作副词)attributed to the advertising.
类似的副词还有:approximately(大约),markedly (显著地),substantially(大幅度地,显著地,在比较正式的文章和演讲中异常常用),considerably(显著地,可观地),slightly 微小地,marginally c略微地,和fractionally 本意是分数地,但一般就近似“微小程度地”意思。
D倒装

Strange as it may seem, parents’ attention sometimes hinders (阻碍) students’ academic progress.
近义词: hinder / impede / obstruct

E强调句
用It is… that..或者It is… who…

F虚拟句

G of的用法
Importance / help / value / interest / significance / necessity / quality等。 比如 :

It’s observed that..
It’s believed that…
It’s commonly accepted that…
It’s generally recognized that…

I变性表决心
请注意这里的变性是指“改变词性”的句式变换手法。写作中的变性主要有三种:
改变前: People are concerned because the traditional values are gradually disappearing from the tribes.
People are concerned about the gradual disappearance of the traditional tribal values.
改变前: Some people don’t fulfill their responsibilities as parents.
改变后: Some people don’t fulfill their parental responsibilities.
