考前冲刺:大学英语四六级高分作文亮点词汇总结
大学英语四六级高分作文亮点心经:
1、是否长短句交叉;
2、是否会使用插入语;
3、用词是否多样,切确,形象,尽量使用能够吸引阅卷教员眼球的闪光词;
4、关头词是否换用,切勿老用一再词;
5、句型使用是否切确、地道。
下面给出写好一篇作文的注重事项:
1.恰当用被冻╂换自动,这样能更客不美观的反映事实,句子开首不要老是用we / I(好比写结尾时不用we should pay attention to而用Attention should be paid to.)举个经典结尾2004年六月六级作文的最后一段:It is ,therefore, high time that some applicable approaches were implemented by the service industry like that.By doing so, its competitive edge will be sharpened effectively.2.长于使用插入语,好比说把副词、毗连词等,作插入语放在中心,一般放在趾笫览ヒ幄动词或者助动词后,双方分袂加上逗号。
如however / therefore /for example/I believe 做插入语放在中心,一般放在动词,助动词后,双方分袂加上逗号。
好比说: Other individuals, however, take the attitude that „
3.必然要学会换词,换形象,具体的替代太宽泛的。(考试一一般不要呈现good, bad , many, thing, think,people, opinion 等等)好比膳缦沔例子中,applicable替代proper, approaches替代ways, implement替代carry out, sharpen one's competitive edge替代enhance one's competitiveness(提高某物竞争力)
