(l) The young pilot was on his first overseas training, so that he felt very uneasy. 在上述 12 个句子中, (a)-(g)是简单句; (h)是并列句; (i)-(l) 是复杂句。
简单句除 (b)和(g)之外,其他五样,用的人并不多人们最喜欢采用复杂句,尤其是(j) 和(k)这两款;接着便是并列句(h)如果大多数人的句子只限于(b),(g), (h), (j) 和(k)这五种, 而其他的则弃如敝屣,不是很可惜吗?专四写作高招 1:巧用连接词有的学生在作文中使用过多简单句,成了简单句堆砌; 有的写复杂句时, 动辄用 so, and,then,but,or,however,yet 等非但达不到丰富表达方式的目的,反而使句子结构松散、呆板为了避免这种现象,可以通过使用连接词,尤其是一些表示从属关系的连接词,如 who,which,that,because,since,although,after, as,before,when,whenever,if,unless,as if 等,不仅能够丰富句型,而且还能够把思想表达得更清楚,意义更连贯例如:Natural resources are very limited. They will be exhausted in the near future. It is not true. But it becomes a major concern around the world. This is a widely accepted fact. 这段文字用简单句表达,它们之间内在的逻辑关系含糊不清,意思支离破碎。
如果使用连接词,将单句与其前后合并,形成主次关系, 就把一个比较复杂的内容和关系表达得层次清楚、结构严谨例如:It is a widely accepted fact that there is a major concern around the world for the exhaustion of limited natural resources in the near future, though it is unlikely to be true. 再如:The Mississippi River is one of the longest rivers in the world , and in spring time it often overflows its banks ,and the lives of many people are endangered. 此句用 and把三个分句一贯到底,既乏味又可笑如果使用了关系代词which ,语义就会更连贯,语言也会更流畅:The Mississippi River , which is one of the longest rivers in the world , often overflows its banks in the spring time,endangering the lives of many people. 便条写作:一 TEM4 便条的基本要求(一) 格式 (format) 正确TEM4便条的格式与普通英文书信格式基本相同。
具体来说,它应有日期(date)、称呼(saluwfion) 、正文 (body)及 结尾 (ending),结尾包括结尾套语(complimentary close) 和签名(signature)1. 日期精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 13 页,共 15 页精品资料欢迎下载指写便条的日期英文便条与汉语便条的日期写的地方有别,前者的日期一般写在便条的右上角, 偶尔也见写在便条的左上角,而后者的日期则写在便条的右下角,即写在签名的下面英文日期与汉语日期的写法也有不同,汉语一般先写年,然后再 写月、日,而英文则一般把年份写在月、日的后面另外,英文日期的月、日与年之间通常用逗号隔开例如,2008 年 4 月 21 日通常写成April 21 ,2008 或April 21 st ,2008;当然,由于是非正式书信,也可以去掉年份,写成Ap l 2l 或 April 21st(不过,这种写法,只是最近两年才被TEM4 接受 ),或者写成21/4/2008 或 4/21/2008日期能说明便条的有效度,没有日期,则会使人感到茫然。
2.称呼称呼是指写便条人对收便条人的称谓,一般都以Dear 开头,写在日期下一两行、留出左页边空白,顶格写TEM4 试卷中一般对写便条人与收便条人之间的关系作了提示提示中的“you” 指的是写便条人,提到的另一方便是收便条人称呼时,一般只需在其名字前加Dear 即可,如 Dear Susan,Dear Tom若此人有头衔 (social title) ,称呼时,便要保留其头衔,例如Dr.Herce,要称 Dear Dr .Pierce,不称 Dear Pierce如果提示中的另一方是以Mrs Wang 或 Mr Wang 出现, 称呼时也只需在其前加Dear 便可,即称 Dear Mrs Wang 或 Dear Mr Wang ,若只称Dear Wang 则视为不妥当对方为亲属时,在 Dear 后面加上表示亲属关系大写的字眼即可,如Dear Grandpa,Dear Aunt 值得一提的是,近年来TEM4 也接受不带 Dear 的称呼称呼后面可用逗号,也可用冒号3.正文2. 正文是写便条人要叙述或谈论的事情,是便条的主要组成部分一般书信是在称呼下方隔两行处开始写正文但就TEM4 便 条而言,一般在称呼的下一行开始写正文便可。
正文的首行左边一般留约4 个字母宽的空白,但也可顶格写便条的内容简单、字数少,因此,正文一般只需写一段或两段若有两段,第二段的首行应与第一段的首行对齐写4.结尾如前所述,结尾包括结尾套语和签名1)结尾套语结尾套语的位置一般是在正文最后一行的下面,从便条的中央部分开始,稍向右缩进开头字母要大写,末尾要用逗号结尾套语为写便条人对收便条人的谦称或客套以示礼貌,措辞的变化按照不同的关系而定现分述如下:① 致不熟悉的人,宜用较庄重的套语,如Yours sincerely,Sincerely yours,或 Sincerely 等② 对上级、长者,除了可用上述较庄重的套语,也可用Yours respectfully 或 Respectfully yours ③ 对一般朋友或熟人可用①中提到的较庄重的套语,也可用 Yours 等较为随便的套语④ 对密友则采用较随便的套语为宜例如,Yours,Love,With love ,Best wishes,Best regards 等等⑤ 对亲属可用下列任何一种:Love,With love ,All my love ,Yours afectionately ,Affectionately yours ,Lovingly yours ,Yours lovingly ,Your loving son(Dad ?) ;但对亲人,不宜用Sincerely 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 14 页,共 15 页精品资料欢迎下载yours~ 由于 TEM4 便条写作一般是针对考生日常生活或学习相关的事情,写作的对象一般是其朋友、老师、熟人,因此,TEM4 通常只接受Yours sincerely,Sincerely yours ,Sincerely,或 Yours这几种结尾套语。
2)签名即写便条人署名,位于结尾套语下,偏右 签名也由写便条人和收便条人的关系和亲疏程度而定有时TEM4 指定了写便条人的名字,签名时应采用那个名字若无指定名字, 考生也不宜用自己的真名 一般只需写名不写姓,但若用了较庄重的结尾套语,此时可签全名二)内容完整一般而言, 一封理想的TEM4 便条应包括以下三点:(1)写便条的原因;(2)要告诉的事情; (3)有关的希望、建议或要求等便条写作提示的情况都是与人们日常生活或学习相关的事情例如,对别人提供的帮助表示感谢,邀请朋友参观书展,因不能准时赴约而表示道歉, 把信息转告给朋友等所提示的内容就是考生要表达的思想内容思想内容有先后之分,要讲究其逻辑性,还得注意其完整性生活中有些约定俗成的东西,写作时,应考虑这方面的因素例如,写道歉信时,一般都先向对方表示歉意或内疚,同时说明发生疏忽、过失、或错误的原因,提出弥补的办法,这样有利于取得对方的谅解现以近年一次英语专业四级考试便条写作为例加以说明:该提示是: Yesterday you failed to turn up for the appointment with your teacher,Professor Wang.Write him a note of apology an d make a request for another meeting.You should also suggest the time for the requested meting.仔细阅读这一提示,你就会发现,第一句为第二旬所要求的道歉确定了内容;为了求得对方的谅解,获得另一次会面的机会,你就必须说明前次未能赴约见面的原因。
因此,本便条的内容必须包括以下四项:(1)apologizing for failure tOturn upforthe appointment,(2)the rea~nforfailuretOturn叩,(3)making a request for another meeting ,(4)suggesting the time for the requested meeting 其中 (3)、(4)为提示中明确要求表达的内容, (1)、(2)则是根据道歉类书信特点而必须表达的内容内容为便条写作的重头戏写作时,切莫忽视提示中的任何信息,同时要关注交际中所需的相关信息当然,在注意提示中的信息时, 特别是首句,要注意用自己正确的语言来表达,不能完全抄提示,否则会扣分三)语言得体内容和语言是一个统一体内容抓住后,应以恰当的语言来表达 一般来说,便条的语言要简单,用词平易当然,语言风格还应与情景一致,不同的对象,所使用的语言应有所不同相对来说,对上级、长者、不熟悉的人的语言较为正式,对亲朋好友的语言则较为随便不过, 不管对方是谁, 行文中都应体现态度诚恳礼貌四)字数符合要求TEM4 便条总字数 (包括日期、称呼、结尾在内)的要求是约 50—60 个字。
尽管在这数字之间还可以少l0 字,或多 20 字,即 40-80 字,不过,还是篇幅适中为好,以免因显得太短或太长而扣分精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 15 页,共 15 页。
