定語從句在雅思寫作中的運用
雅思官方對于寫作的評判遵循global scoring的原則,如何提高句子的表現力,使考官能夠impressive,來提升自己的寫作level當屬學生最感困惑之處,往往加倍的努力并不一定收效顯著,還會在具體寫作時捉襟見肘,錯誤疊出,這大部分是由于平時積累欠缺,對西方寫作風格掌握不夠的緣故。針對大部分考生備考時間短的現實,分析認為,除了加強練習不同的寫作話題,積累觀點,儲備功能性套句以外,若能從定語從句的角度具體細致地進行練習,也不失為良策。因為它具備如下特點:
一、簡單易操作
定語從句是中學語法內容中的重要部分之一,大部分同學只是對其用法模糊而已,不夠細致和確定而已,不存在對根本概念的輸入難度。但正因為如此,也使得考生容易掉以輕心,此時教師應充分強調其重要性。
由于大部分學生手中都有現有的語法書,只需要提醒學生關注相應定語從句的章節(jié)即可,簡單易行。筆者以下列‘常用that 不用which ’的用法舉例,歸納為11點,方便學生在練習時查對。
