小升初英语写作的技巧指导

　　我们都知道，想在小升初英语写作拿高分，就要摸透老师的喜好，引起“读者”的注意。而在写作中句子偏长恰恰会适得其反，很容易让人漏听一、两个单词，影响对整个句子的理解，所以我们要教大家一些化繁为简的技巧——

　　1、巧用单个词：即用一个单词代替一组意义相同的单词。比如：

　　用forget(忘记)代替do not remember(没有记住)

　　用ignore(忽视)代替do not pay attention to(不注意)

　　用now(现在)代替at this point in time(此时此刻)

　　用because(由于)代替due to the fact that(鉴于下列事实)

　　2、省略同义词或近义词。比如在下面例句中，形容词important(重要的)和significant(有重要意义的)，就是两个同义词(也可以说是近义词)，我们可以省略important，只保留significant。

　　The government project is important and significant.(这项政府计划是重要的，有重要意义。)

　　The government project is significant.(这项政府计划有重要意义。)

　　3、在不改变句子含义的前提下，省略所有可以省略的单词。比如在下面例句中，the cover of the book(书的封面)可以省略成the book cover，is red in color(是红色的.)可以省略成is red。

　　The cover of the book is red in color.(书的封面是红色的)

　　The book cover is red.(书的封面是红色的)

　　现在我们把这三种方法结合起来，将一个冗长、绕嘴的句子，改写成一个简短、易懂的句子。

　　University malls must be accessible and free from congestion in order that students, faculty and employees may have unobstructed passage through those areas of the campus.(校内道路必须是便于通行的，不拥堵的，以便让学生、教师和职员能够无阻碍地通过，到达校园的各处。)

　　University malls must be free enough from congestion to allow people to walk through easily.(校内道路不应当拥堵，以便人们顺利通行。)

　　4、用介词短语替代从句。比如：

　　原句：While they were playing tennis, she started an argument that lasted all morning.

　　修改后：During tennis she started an argument that lasted all morning.

　　原句：When you come to the second traffic light, turn right.

　　修改后：At the second traffic light turn left.

　　5、删除诸如"who is”或"that is"之类的关系代词，变从句为短语。比如：

　　原句：The novel, which is written in three parts, told a story that took place in the Middle Ages.

　　修改后：The three-part novel told a story set in the Middle Ages.

　　注：把句中的"three parts"改用形容词来表达，节省了四个不必要的单词"which is written in"。我们经常可以将关系代词如"that"去掉，这只会引起最少的变动。
