写作前 写作时 Is this you while writing? 今天的写作,我们不谈逻辑,不谈思维导图,不谈句法。我们来聊一个非主流小清新的话题:标!点!符!号! 是的,你没有听错! 不要看它们小,细节决定成败,它们和雅托成绩的关系大了去了~ 以上是IELTS写作评分标准中,7分和6分段对应的“Grammatical Range and Accuracy"中的详细描述(完整版的写作评分标准,可联系我们获得哦),其中那个最扎眼的词 "Punctuation", 就是标点符号没错了。 在托福的写作评分标准钟,虽然没有明确点出punctuation的使用,但是无疑punctuation是达到 “consistent facility in the use of language"和语言的"idiomaticity"要求的一个重要途径。 那么,英语语法中共有多少种标点符号呢? 答案是十四种—— * Period (.) * Question mark (?) * Exclamation point (!) * Comma (,) * Semicolon (;) * Colon (:) *Dash (-) (e.g. 1880 - 1945 or Princeton - New York Trains) * Hyphen (-) (e.g. part-time job; well-known) * Brackets ([]) *Braces ({}) *Parenthesis (()) * Apostrophe (') *Quotation marks (" ") * Ellipsis (...) 今天,让我们来深度学习一下 Semicolon (;) 在托雅写作中的正确使用。 首先给手机屏前的你引用几个选自托雅阅读的句子(托福阅读尤其的多),大家不妨通过这几个例句去思考一下,";"适用于什么地方 。 They wanted the wealth that the market offered without the competitive, changing society; the complex dealing; the dominance of urban centers; and the loss of independence that came with it. from Reading of TOEFL OG Practice Test1 Nonruminants cannot extract much energy from the hard parts of a plant; however, this is more than made up for by the fast speed at which food passes through their guts. from Reading of TOEFL OG Practice Test 2 The goal was to measure the AU; then, knowing the orbital speeds of all the other planets round the Sun, the scale of the Solar System would fall into place. from Reading Passage 2 of Test 2, Cambridge IELTS 9 The Voyager spacecraft transmitted data using codes which added one extra bit for every single bit of information; the result was an error rate of just one bit in 10,000. from Reading Passage 3 of Test 3, Cambridge IELTS 9 根据这些例子,机智的你推断出semicolon的使用规则了吗?来看看下图这个比较完整的用法详解 图来源:https://writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/Semicolons.html 总的来说,semicolon是一个很安全的标点符号,很多地方都是可以使用的(具体使用情境可以参考上面的例子)。 它介于comma (,)和period (.)之间。用comma连接从句往往让信息有主次之分,而period隔开使得两个句子之间关联十分微弱,这样一来,在当我们想要连接起两个重视程度均等且联系较紧密的句子时,不妨考虑适当使用semicolon,来增加我们语言的idiomaticity (地道性),成为我们写作中的一个亮点! 接下来,我们来看看如何在写作实战中用到它: 在一个要证明“因为现在的消费者已经了解广告的欺骗性了,所以广告没啥用”的主体段中,我们想要举出两个例子,咱们可以这样写—— There are frequent cases from TV reports or newspapers in which a beautiful young lady is disfigured by a make-up product; or a situation in which a vigorous person becomes hospitalized after taking a so-called nutritional supplement. 你,get到了吗? 有什么疑问欢迎留言下方和联系我们哟~ 联系方式:028-83207757 微信号:AlexLiang1220
