雅思写作亮点

　　雅思写作的过程中如果有些小语法能够用的很活、很巧妙的话，是能在阅卷老师那加分不少的，而介词短语在雅思写作中就算是个小语法，下面就简单介绍下如何巧妙的运用介词短语来为自己加分。

　　1. 介词短语作状语：

　　Example-1

　　我努力学习。

　　I study hard. (副词hard用作状语)

　　I study with diligence. (介词短语with diligence 用作状语)

　　第二句比第一句高明，不仅是因为字数优势，词汇独特，更重要的是它诠释了雅思写作中的一个语法亮点：使用介词短语(亦称介宾短语)with diligence 作状语，修饰谓语动词study。副词作状语可谓妇孺皆知，相当于公共插座，谁都能过来充电。

　　还需注意：以后各位在描述别人勤奋的时候，别再没完没了地使用“hard working”, “work hard”等曾祖母级别的词汇了，推荐如下词汇：

　　1) diligent diligence

　　adj. 勤奋的 n. 勤奋

　　2)industrious industriousness

　　adj. 勤奋的 n. 勤奋

　　下面是介词短语用作状语的例证：

　　Example-2:

　　美国老龄化人口的比例在1995年到1998年期间以最高速率增长 (增长最快)。

　　The proportion of aged population in USA rose with the highest rate during 1995 to 1998.

　　The proportion of aged population in USA rose the most rapidly during 1995 to 1998.

　　前者是介词短语作状语(下划横线标识)。同样，可以使用“with the lowest rate” 修饰动词增长或下降，表示以最低速率增长或下降。后者是副词用作状语(下划横线标识)。

　　Example-3:

　　瑞典老龄化人口的百分比被估计在2020年到2040年期间会持续增长。

　　The percentage of aged population in Sweden is estimated to increase on continuous basis from 2020 to 2040.

　　持续增长表述为increase on continuous basis，而没有使用公共插座级的表述increase continuously。介词短语 on……basis 用作状语，译为“以……为基础”，再加上中间那个形容词的倾情奉献，这个介词短语组合可谓特立独行，笑傲风月，向读者昭示：不是所有牛奶都叫特伦苏，不是所有状语都是介宾范儿。

　　还需注意：如果需要表达某数据稳定增长，亦可使用该词组。

　　例如：水力发电对于澳大利亚发电总量的贡献从1990年到2000年呈现平稳增长的态势。

　　The contribution of hydro power to the total elec...

　　二、形容词

　　形容词能够使表达的意思更具体更生动，经常和名词搭配使用。下面给大家列举几个例子。

　　e.g.

　　The issue of children doing paid work is a complex and sensitive one.

　　(This complex and sensitive question arouses the great attention among government and the general public all around the world.)

　　In better economic circumstances, few parents would choose to send their children out to full-time paid work.

　　(In better circumstances, authorities would greatly have the right to invest a large proportion of the government’s budget in constructing fascinating and fantastic theatres and sports stadiums.)

　　It seems that the experiences we have in life are so unpredictable and so powerful that they can boost or over-ride other influences, and there seems to be plenty of research findings to confirm this.

　　The reason for this trend may involve the recognition that a young adult who passes directly from school to university is rather restricted in terms of general knowledge and experience of the world。

　　常用形容词如下：

　　A.

　　absurd 荒唐的

　　addictive 上瘾的

　　affectionate 有感情的

　　aggressive 有上进心的

　　alert 敏锐的;警惕的

　　arduous 费劲的

　　artistic 艺术的

　　authoritative 权威性的

　　awkward 尴尬的

　　e.g.

　　If the public are more alert to the dangerous situations in their surroundings, there would be fewer victims of criminal behaviors.

　　Those children adapting t...
