　　高考英語寫作部分在語言方面的要求中有：能盡量使用較高級詞匯。英文寫作中若有高級詞匯，是獲取高分的重要條件之一，但如何使用高級詞匯？

　　1．注意使用詞組、習(xí)語來代替一些單詞以增加文采。如：用catch sight of代替see，用care nothing for代替dislike等。 2．使用一些很有“洋味”的單詞。

　　Thank you for sharing the time with us. (用share而不用spend)

　　The noise nearly drove me mad. (用drive而不用 make)

　　Tom had his leg broken last week. (用have his leg broken而不用break his leg) 3．避免重復(fù)使用同一單詞或短語。

　　如：用We have built a new classroom building besides the old one and we have also set up a library where the old one used to be.

　　比用We have built a new classroom building besides the old one and we have also built a library where the old one used to be. 好。

　　英文寫作中，不同的思想內(nèi)容要用不同的句式來表達(dá)；而同一思想內(nèi)容也可以用不同的句式來表達(dá)。句式不同，表達(dá)效果也就不同。只有句式多樣化，文章才會生動有趣，充滿活力。

　　可是，在實(shí)際寫作中，初學(xué)寫作的學(xué)生往往一篇文章都是千篇一律的簡單句，文章單調(diào)乏味，毫無生氣。筆者認(rèn)為，恰當(dāng)?shù)厥褂媚承┓椒ɑ蚴侄斡兄趯?shí)際表達(dá)形式的多樣化，增強(qiáng)表達(dá)效果。下面將常用方法簡單介紹如下： 1．改變句子的開頭方式。不要一味地都是主語開頭， 可以把狀語置于句首等。如：

　　(原) He was still absorbed in his work deep into the night. (改) Deep into the night, he was absorbed in his work. 2．學(xué)會運(yùn)用特殊句式。

　　省略句： If necessary, we shall send a telegram home.

　　倒裝句： Not only did he refuse the gift, he also severely criticized the sender.

　　強(qiáng)調(diào)句： It was at that moment that he changed his mind. 3．學(xué)會使用復(fù)合句、分詞狀語、感嘆句、with的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)、獨(dú)立主格、it句型等多種句式。如：

　　(原)Yesterday my father went to Tianhe Mall. He bought us a lot of gifts. (改)Yesterday my father went to Tianhe Mall where he bought us a lot of gifts. (原)There was nothing else to do. We went home.

　　(改)There being nothing else to do, we went home.

　　英語的句式是多種多樣的，只要從要表達(dá)的內(nèi)容出發(fā)合理選用，文章的句式就會富于變化。在學(xué)習(xí)寫作的過程中，學(xué)生應(yīng)不斷練習(xí)構(gòu)造各種各樣的句式，以提高語言表達(dá)能力。 活用
