2024年高考英语:如何写好英语段
落5
Bob Geldof was born in Ireland in 1954. When he was fourteen he became
interested in pop groups. He left school and worked first in a food factory and later he worked as a worker of building roads. He went to Canada where he wrote about music for a newspaper. In 1975 he returned to Dublin, the capital of the Irish Republic, where he formed his own pop group. From 1979 to 1982 they were the top group in Britain, but in 1982 the group stopped playing together.
该段落虽没有主题句,但都围绕着Bob Geldof(其简历或所从事的职业)来写,句与句之间按时间顺序依次写出,更突出的是,在写作中使用了过渡性词语,如first,…later…; but, and及省略等手段。
合理使用过渡性词语能够增加句与句之间的联系。下面把常见的过渡性词语大体归类举例如下:
(1)表示列举和顺序的连接词:first(firstly), second(secondly),
third(thirdly)…(首先,其次,再则……); for one thing…, for another
(thing)(一方面,另一方面); for one thing…also…(一则……再则……), then; finally, last, lastly(最后)等。如:
I can’t go. For one thing, I have no money, also I have no time. 我不能去,一则我没有钱,二则我没有时间。
(2)表示增补或引申意义的连接词:besides, furthermore(而且), then, above all,
what’s more, what’s worse(更糟糕的是), indeed, in fact, naturally(自然地)等。如:
Tom shows great interest in physics, furthermore, he wants to be an astronaut in the future.汤姆在物理方面很感兴趣,而且他想以后当一名宇航员。 (3)表示概括或总结的连接词:then, in brief(简言之),in a word, generally speaking, in short等。如:
It’s a long letter; but in brief, he says “No”. 这是一封长信,但简言之,他拒绝了。
