很多初次接触考试的学生总是非常担心写作的综合写作部分,也就是小作文。他们常提出这样的疑问:“怎么考得这么变态啊?读了又听再写!”其实大家完全不必为此如此焦虑,等看完下面的文章,读完下面的四大必杀技,我相信你一定会豁然开朗!

首先,summarize,也就是概括阅读和听力文章的主要内容和各三个分论点。

这其实就是Introduction要写的内容,掌握了概括,第一段就不成问题咯!

其次,Paraphrase,也就是改写。掌握好了改写句子,你写起文章来将会达到如鱼得水,游刃有余。改写其实主要有下面的两种方法:

第一,使用不同的词汇

a.使用同义词,比如以下的一些写作高频词汇的同义词,你一定要掌握,出现的尤为频繁。

important→essential, crucial, vital, significant,

think→claim,believe, consider, deem, figure out

nowadays→currently, at present, now, recently, in recent years,these days

b.改变词性,这是一种稍微难一些的方法,要求你的语法基础非常好,你才能灵活自如的运用。

n. → v.

Eg:When we lookat a comparison between A and B…

When we compareA and B…

Adj. → n.

There are avariety of solutions to the problem.

There arevarious solutions to the problem.

c.使用不同的承接词。承接词在文章当中的使用相当频繁,不仅是段落和段落的连接,还包括句子和句子的连接。背住一些常用的承接词比你的改写将会有极大的作用。

because of → dueto, owing to, because, as, since, for

but → however,nevertheless, nonetheless, whereas

so → therefore,hence, thus, consequently

d.形容词的逆向表达。在某些形容词上进行修改,会达到非比寻常的效果。

Eg: not as easyas…→more difficult than…

Notuncommon→common

The cheapest →the least expensive

第二,使用不同的句型

a.改变词序。这是非常简单的一种方法,完全不用动脑筋就可以进行改写。常常将句子中的状语(包括状语从句)换位置。

Eg: For manyyears, people have believed ….

→Peoplebelieved… for many years.

After thisprograms has been solved, work on …can continue.

b.主动语态和被动语态的互相替换Eg: Trained scientists performed this research.

→This researchwas performed by trained scientists.

c. 使用“there be”句型,可以将一个简单句,马上变成一个加入定语从句或者分词的复杂句。Eg: Several computer programs canbe used to solve this problem.

→There areseveral computer programs that can be used to solve thisproblem.或There are several computer programs used to solve thisproblem.

d.定语从句,分词和插入语的互相替换

Eg: Study…,conducted by sociologists in 2004, shows that…

→Study…, whichwas conducted by sociologists in 2004, shows that…

Eg: This…, whichis one of the most powerful …in the world, has…

→This…, one ofthe most powerful… in the world, has…

接下来,Cite,即引用。综合写作乃客观写作,只是一个旁观者的角度对这两篇文章的内容进行描述,因此,某观点是出自哪篇文章一定要说清楚。所以,下面的这些句型在综合写作中必不可缺。

a.Accordingto+noun.

Eg: According tothe passage/lecture/author/professor,…

b.Subject+verbsof reporting +that clause

Eg: The authortells/reports/suggests/explains/says/argues/states/indicates/claims/pointsout/thinks/believes that…

或The speakeragrees/disagrees/rejects/disputes/challenges/takes a differentview….

c. As isindicated/displayed/illustrated in the passage/lecture,...

最后,Synthesize,也就是连接,承接词的使用是相当重要的,将文章当中的重要信息连接起来,体现作者对于两篇文章的理解正确,说明作者的思路清楚。由于综合写作是对两篇文章的比较,所以下面表对比和递进的承接词使用的最频繁。

a.Transitionalwords showing contrast: however, on the other hand, in contrast, onthe contrary

b.Transitionalwords showing addition: moreover, furthermore, in addition,besides, as well
