第二篇：英语考研作文词句闪光点提升的方法
1、强调名词【very+名词】
有同学说名词的强调直接用 it is…that不就搞定了么？这里介绍的是一个更地道的用法，就是用very+名词的形式。比如：03年温室花朵的范文
The set of drawings above vividly depicts the destiny of a flower in different circumstances. As is shown in the first cartoon, the very flower is placed in a comfortable greenhouse which shelters it from the threatening lightening and storm.
Very一词用的很地道，如此这样的一个花朵，被保护起来。如果这句用强调句it is …that来写，估计你自己把句式结构都弄乱了。有时候要长短句结合，通篇文章全都是复合句老师也会看腻的，要长短句结合，才是最好的有节奏感的文章。
2、强调动词【do/does/did+动词原形】
The picture does state that they will travel extensively from north to south together with their combined legs.
有同学问了，你说的这两个强调有什么用。强调句显得你的用词更加地道，让你文章的节奏感更强。庖丁解牛中的一、1也是一个强调动词的用法。
3、 强调形容词 副词+形容词
4、 定语从句的介词前置提升
5、 当用到相同意思的词的时候，先写高级的用法，后写一般的用法。
3～5这三条和在一块说，因为要用到同一个例句。副词+形容词？这个我们都知道啊，还用你金翅告诉我们。这里的副词不是一般的副词，而是和形容词同义的副词。可能说的太抽象，举一个例子，也是超级华丽的一句话，加到你的模板中。
Although live of citizens has been greatly changed，there is no denying the fact that the problem of internet，with which Chinese people are faced，becomes severely serious. 随着人们的生活发生了巨大的变化，这个事实是不可否认的：网络问题，中国人民所面对的这个问题，变得非常的严重。
3：这里用severely来强调 serious，因为两者是同义词，一个是副词形式、一个是形容词，强调的效果更强。比becomes very serious效果强的不是一倍两倍。另建议作文中尽量少出现very，因为very是一个很主观的词，你要阐述你的观点，摆事实讲道理，要客观、要有理有据。Very这个词太主观，基本没有说服力。怎么提升文章的说服力，后文有交代，先别着急。
4：with which Chinese people are faced，用得非常地道，把with提前到引导词which前，让句子的结构平衡。如果说which Chinese people are faced with，这样也可以，但是哪个更有技术含量大家一眼也能看出来。
5：这句话中两次出现“人们”这个词，如果你用两个people那你真是傻到家了，让老师感觉你的词穷了，露怯了。所以平时多积累些同义词，到时候尽情的卖弄吧。不要通篇都是I think ，哪怕是有一个I believe也好很多。不要在老师面前显得你的词汇很薄弱。这句话中，用了citizen和people，把高级的放前面，一般的放后边，惯用法。
6、谚语的使用
有些意志品质类的文章，如果加入一句相关的谚语会让你的文章大放光彩。但是不能直接写句子。加一个模板句型：An ancient oriental philosopher said，“谚语”.一位古老东方的先哲曾经说过，…有同学说西方的谚语为什么用东方的先哲呢？比如：Where there is a will,there is a way.是西方的谚语，中国也有有志者，事竟成的语句。文化都是相通的，可以放心来用。以下是英语作文中常用的一些谚语。
7、你不得不知道的there be
there be是一个非常有用的句型，不要以为简单句就是低级的。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。通篇的简单句、陈述句，没有句式变换的文章是得不到高分的。如何把一个简单句变成复合句呢？举个例子：
Internet provides us with convenience.网络给我们提供便利。只是一句普通的陈述句，可能不会吸引老师的眼球。如果把它变成there be的结构并且引导一个定语从句那就太给力了。there is the very Internet which provides us with convenience.要善于利用陈述句>>there be+定语从句的结构变化，多练几遍，考试时用一次。
