1、多运用动词和主动语态
▶ 在文章中把一个主要的名词换成动词
例:
Verb to be :the use of leaf blowers before 8 am is a violation of local noiseabatement laws.
Action verb :the use of leaf blowers before 8 am violates local noise abatementlaws.
▶ 用动词替代句子中的某一个重要的名词或形容词
例:
Verb to be :The quarterback’s wretched performance was a disgrace to his team.
Action verb :The quarterback’s wretched performance humiliated his team.
▶ 如果不知如何更改动词,可以重新整理语句形式
例:
Verb to be :Jamie was happy to be part of the all-star soccer team.
Action verb : Being a part of the all-star soccer team thrilled Jamie.
▶ 主动语态
例:
Passive Voice :the main idea for my essay was stated as the first sentence in thefirst paragraph.
Active Voice : I stated the main idea of my essay in the first sentence in thefirst paragraph.
Passive voice : money for the new recreation building was raised quickly.
Active voice: the recreation committee quickly raised money for thenew building.
2、在文章中使用specific words
少general words,多增加specific images。这两者怎么区别呢?我们来举个例子,car就是general words,因为车的种类有很多,而Benz SUV 就是specific words。在考试的中,多使用specific words可以帮助把物体解释的更清楚,读者也会获得更多的信息,使他们对你的文章更方便了解。
例1:
General :Tom got into his car and drove off.
Specific :Tom leaped into his SUV and roared off.
例2:
General: My coach illustrates the point about playing fairly.
Specific: My basketball coach, Ms Berry, illustrates the essay- ist’s pointabout playing fairly.
例3:
General: At the end of the day, the workmen walked up thesnow-covered road.
Specific: At the end of the day, the tired workmen trudged wearilyup the snow-covered road.
