雅思写作套句

朗阁海外考试研究中心 赵平江

说到雅思写作，很多考生会不约而同地想到词汇和语法。的确，在写作的四项评分标准中，这两项指标占据了半壁江山。对于前者，考生们往往不敢怠慢，备考过程中的很大一部分时间和精力都是花在词汇积累上的，而对于后者，却因为单调、枯燥而常常被有意无意地忽视。实际上，“磨刀不误砍柴工”，只有把“语法”这把刀磨得亮亮的，才有可能连词成句，连句成段，又快又好地完成雅思写作任务。

然而在平时的教学过程中，我们发现，语法问题成为了不少考生提高雅思写作成绩的绊脚石，甚至一些英语水平相对不错的考生或是为了追求句子的复杂性或是由于粗心大意也会出现类似的问题，因此我们整理了雅思写作中常见的语法问题，以期提醒广大考生注意。

1、 串句
No one can deny the fact that air pollution is an extremely serious problem the city authorities should take strong measures to deal with it.

There is a general discussion there days over education in many colleges and institutes, one of the questions under debate is whether education is a lifetime study.

修改和避免串句错误的常见方法：

①用句号把原句分成两个独立的句子；

②用连词连接两个句子；

③用分号连接两个句子。

2、 破句

以下是常见的几个破句的例子：
Students should be encouraged to take part-time job. Because it will benefit students and their family, even the society as a whole.

修改后：Students should be encouraged to take part-time job because it will benefit students and their family, even the society as a whole.

修改后：Many sociologists point out that rural emigrants are putting pressure on population control and also threatening to take already scarce city jobs.
3、 错误的平行结构
所谓平行结构，就是指两个（或以上）意思并列的成份（包括单词、词组、从句和句子）在写作时要用同等的语法形式表达，并保证逻辑上的一致，否则就破坏了其平行结构。
①错误的并列
In order to attract tourists, a lot of artificial facilities have been built and which have certain unfavorable effects on the environment.
修改后：In order to attract tourists, a lot of artificial facilities have been built, which have certain unfavorable effects on the environment.
②一系列平行结构上的不正确使用
Many people choose air transportation because it is fast, offers convenience and it is not very expensive.
修改后：Many people choose air transportation because it is fast, convenient and inexpensive.
③错误的省略
It is commonly thought that modern technology has and will dramatically change our society.
修改后：It is commonly thought that modern technology has dramatically changed our society and it will continue.
