高分作文的重要特征之一就是句式多变,语法活用。 因此,考生在写作时要善于合理升级句式,熟练掌握润色句子的技能,交叉使用不同句型,增加句子的层次感和多样化。考生可以通过以下十大技巧升级句式,写出高分句子。
一、 变成被动句
被动句在英语中使用广泛,在陈述一个客观事实时,相对于主动句,使用被动句更能够增强文章的说服力。

→ 升级表达:It is suggested that you should learn and sing Chinese songs.

(感谢信)I will never forget your kindness and generosity.
→ 升级表达:Never will I forget your kindness and generosity.

2. 以 “ Only+ 状语” 开头的部分倒装。
(建议信)You can learn Chinese well only if you could take the above suggestions.

3. so/such... that 句型中的 so/such 位于句首时,主句要部分倒装。
