如何增加文章的亮点？写作时，如果仅局限在把内容交代清楚的水准上，只选用一些普通的、直截了当的词，或一律使用简单句平铺直叙，那么写出来的文章就会像一碗白开水，呆板、单调，没有可读性。要想把一篇文章写好、写完美，使文章耐人寻味，有深度，上当次，同学们不仅要注意文章的通顺与连贯、过渡与衔接等，而且还要尝试使用高级词汇和复杂句型，以凸显文章的亮点，使文章增添文采，给读者（尤其是阅卷者）留下深刻的印象。具体说来，同学们可尝试以下方法：1. 交叉使用长句与短句在英语写作中，过多地使用长句或过多地使用短句都不好，正确的做法是，根据实际情况在文章中交替使用长句与短句，使文章显得错落有致，这样不仅使文章在形式上增加美感，而且使文章读起来铿锵有力。 例 中午我们晒着太阳吃野餐。休息一会儿后，我们唱歌的唱歌，跳舞的跳舞，还有的讲故事、下棋，大家玩得很开心。一般句At noon we had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. Then we had a short rest. Then we began to play happily. We sang and danced. Some told stories. Some played chess.优秀句At noon we had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. After a short rest, we had great fun singing and dancing, telling stories and playing chess. 2. 避免同一词语的重复使用为了使文章更生动、更富表现力，同学们在写作时应尽量避免重复使用同一词语来表示同一意思，尤其是一些老生常谈的词语。如有的同学一看到“喜欢”二字，就会立刻想起like，事实上，英语中表示类似意思的词和短语很多，如love, enjoy, prefer, appreciate, be fond of, care for等。例 我喜欢读书，而我的弟弟喜欢看电视。一般句I like reading while my brother likes watching television.优秀句I like reading while my brother enjoys watching television.3. 适当使用短语代替单词例1 他已决定长大了当老师。一般句He has decided to be a teacher when he grows up.优秀句He has made up his mind to be a teacher when he grows up. 例2 他不大喜欢音乐。一般句He doesnt like music.优秀句He doesnt care much for music. 例3 有时我在超级市场碰见简。一般句Sometimes I met Jane in the supermarket.优秀句Sometimes I came across Jane in the supermarket. 例4 他告诉我问题现正在讨论中。一般句He told me that the question was now being discussed.优秀句He told me that the question was now under discussion. 4. 恰当套用某些固定表达例1他太累了，不能再往前走了。一般句He was very tired. He couldnt walk any farther.优秀句He was too tired to walk any farther. 例2这电影很有趣，学生和老师都很喜欢。一般句The film was very interesting. Both the teachers and the students liked it.优秀句The film was so interesting that both the teachers and the students liked it. 例3你的儿子已经长大，现在可以自己照顾自己了。一般句Your son is old. He can look after himself now.优秀句Your son is old enough to look after himself now. 5. 灵活改变句子开头在通常情况下，英语句子的排列方式为“主语+谓语+宾语”，即主语位于句子开头。但若根据情况适当改变句子的开头方式，比如使用倒装语序或以状语开头等，就会增强文章的表现力。 例1只有这样你才能把它做好。一般句You can do it well only in this way.优秀句Only in this way can you do it well. 例2门开了，史密斯先生走了进来。一般句The door opened and Mr. Smith came in.优秀句The door opened and in came Mr. Smith.例3在小山顶上有一座古庙。一般句There stands an old temple at the top of the hill.优秀句 At the top of the hill there stands an old temple. 例4窗户边坐着一个年轻妇女。一般句A young woman sat by the window.优秀句By the window sat a young woman. 6. 合理使用省略句合理恰当地使用省略句，不仅可以使文章精练、简洁，而且会使文章更具文采和可读性。如：例1 他可能很忙，要是这样，我以后再来拜访。要是不忙，我现在可以见他吗？一般句He may be busy. If hes busy, Ill call later. If he is not busy, can I see him now?优秀句He may be busy. If so, Ill call later. If not, can I see him now? 例2 如果天气好，我们就去，如果天气不好，我们就不去了。一般句If the weather is fine, well go. If it is not fine, well not go.优秀句If the weather is fine, well go. If not, not. 例3 她本可申请那份工作的，但她没有。一般句She could have applied for that job. But she didnt do so.优秀句She could have applied for that job, but she didnt. 7. 适当运用非谓语结构非谓语结构通常被认为是一种高级结构，适当运用非谓语结构，会给人一种熟练驾驭语言的印象。 例1听到这个消息他们都高兴得跳了起来。一般句When they heard the news, they all jumped for joy.优秀句Hearing the news, they all jumped for joy. 例2由于不知道她的地址，我没法和她联系。一般句As I didnt know her address, I wasnt able to get in touch with her.优秀句Not knowing her address, I wasnt able to get in touch with her. 例3他出生农民家庭，所以只上过两年学。一般句As he was born into a peasant family, he had only two years of schooling. 优秀句Born into a peasant family, he had only two years of schooling. 8. 注意文章的过渡与衔接书面表达的评分标准是把衔接和连贯作为核心标准来要求的。之所以如此强调衔接和连贯，是因为这是构成语篇的最基本的条件。语句间的连接成分是衡量衔接与连贯很重要的标准之一。构成语篇连接成分的过渡词语，被称为“篇章纽带”，其语篇衔接作用是不言而喻的，学生要学会正确恰当地使用这些表示逻辑关系的关联词语，使文章前后连贯，结构紧凑，过渡自然。表示过渡与衔接的常用表达有：表示顺序的：first, then, finally, in the end 等。表示转折的：but, however, meanwhile, at the same time, instead, on the contrary, unfortunately, after all等。表示并列的：bothand, as well as, neithernor, eitheror, somesome等。表示递进的：besides, even, moreover, whats more, furthermore等。表示时间的：now, then, in the past, at present, in the future等。表示对比的：while, on one hand, on the other hand, in the same way, just as等。表示因果的：because, as, now that, so, therefore等。表示程度的：first of all, above all, again and again等。表示强调的：indeed, surely, certainly, of course, above all等。表示列举的：for example, such as, for instance等。表示总结的：in a word, in short, in brief, in all, in conclusion等。9. 合理安排句型注意把意思相近、相似、互为补充的句子合为一个复杂句，使重点突出，并且要明确内在的逻辑关系。 When it is my birthday, my mother will cook some dishes to celebrate my birth, or she will give me some money to buy whatever I want.改为：To celebrate my birthday, my mother always cooks some dishes or gives me some money to by whatever I want.改后的句子由两句变为一句，句义更易理解，逻辑更清楚。注意中文和英文两种语言结构上的差别。英文常用被动语态，而中文常用主动语态。 The problem will be discussed tomorrow. 明天讨论这个问题。中文中主语多为人称代词，而英语中，人称代词、名词、动名词短语、不定式、从句等都能作主语。 Its important to
