如何靠擴充句型拉高分數？

[wilyuno 10]

離大考不遠，想拉高作文分數有幾個方法，其中之一是擴充簡單句(只有主詞、動詞或受詞)的長度，搭配其他簡單句，創造長、短句混合的段落，這就足夠讓原本單調的寫法夠味。請看下面一段的描述︰

My best friend is my mother. She is knowledgeable She is helpful. She is supportive. She is easy to talk to. She is interested in watching sports games like I. Therefore, she is my best friend. (

36個字

)

這樣子寫雖沒錯，但好像在列清單，不吸引人，而且字數少的可憐，若以這種長度，寫四段都不到150字，分數當然不會高。

記住，寧可犯文法、拼字錯誤，都要塞爆各段，尤其是作文分數還在個位數的同學，以200個字為奮鬥目標，沒有功勞，會有苦勞。內容自己掰，讓我教你如何創造長、短句混合的寫法。

首先，在每一個理由後面加個說明，你可以在原句加入but, and, or, so或when/even when, if, although/even though, because, as +形容詞+ as等部分的句子，或創造新句，請看下面藍色部分的示範：

理由+說明1：She is knowledgeable

BECAUSE she has all the answers to my questions

.

理由2：She is helpful.

說明2：She gives me help

WHEN I need one

.

理由3：She is supportive.

說明3：She never criticizes me

EVEN WHEN I make the same mistake

.

理由4：She is easy to talk to.

說明4：

IF I have trouble with my classmates

, I want to tell her about it

BECAUSE she is a very good listener

.

理由5：She is interested in watching sports games like I.

說明5：My mother is

AS

crazy

AS I am

about sports,

AND we often have fun by watching together tennis, baseball and basketball games on TV

.

每個理由加上說明，內容更生動，字數更是爆增，而且句子擴充概念，大幅提升句子的複雜度，這是高分必備條件。還原成整段變成：

My best friend is my mother. She is knowledgeable BECAUSE she has all the answers to my questions. She is helpful. She gives me help WHEN I need one. She is supportive. She never criticizes me EVEN WHEN I make the same mistake. She is easy to talk to. IF I have trouble with my classmates, I want to tell her about it BECAUSE she is a very good listener. She is interested in watching sports games like I. My mother is AS crazy AS I am about sports, AND we often have fun by watching together tennis, baseball and basketball games on TV. Therefore, she is my best friend. (

注意到，理由句比說明句短所產生長、短句交錯的效果，是不是非常適合閱讀？

如果你認同上述的作法，大量練習擴充簡單句，而減少花在補強單字或文法的時間上，這才是臨陣磨槍的高分策略。
