“不简单”的Simple sentence
相信对雅思写作评分标准有所了解的资深“烤鸭”应该对于大小作文中皆出现的“语法多样性及准确性”(Grammatical Range and Accuracy)不陌生。在雅思官方公布的写作评分标准中,这一评分维度若要获得6分,需满足能“综合使用简单句式与复杂句式”。那么考生们首先需要明白,根据句子的内部结构划分,英文当中总体来说包含四大类句式,分别是“simple sentence”(简单句),”compound sentence” (并列句),”complex sentence” (复合句)以及“compound-complex sentence” (并列复合句)。
那么到这里,有不少曾经听闻过这几类句式的同学都会对简单句产生一定的偏见,认为简单句应该是最不需要语言水平的一种句型,甚至不少基础不错的学生可能仍笃定地认为简单句就是长度不过一行的句子。实际简单句指的是句中只包含有一个主语和一个谓语动词的句子,如“This is problematic”。这种类型的句子确实是从我们学英语之初就开始接触和练习的句子,随着我们对英语句子的掌握和运用越发熟练,在我们严重操作起来的难度也就越发降低了。但是其实,我们也不要忽略了一个重要的事实,那就是简单句也可以写出不那么简单的效果。那么我们来试借助几个例句,具体了解学习几种稍复杂的简单句式吧。
l 不定式及动名词做主语、表语
• However, learning to understand and share the value system of a whole society cannot be achieved just in the home. ---C8T2TASK2
我们可以看到这个句子的主结构其实只不过运用了“sth cannot be achieved”这样一个简单的被动语态句式,但是考官却在主语位置使用了一个动名词短语,将“learn to do sth”表达中的”learn”加“-ing”名词化,最终形成了动名词短语作主语的句式,使得原本比较简单的句式从长度以及信息丰富程度上都得到了提升。
• But to be a valuable member of any community is not like learning a simple skill. ---C8T2TASK2
同样来自剑8test2大作文,这句话考官原句的主结构为“A is not like B”,然后这个句子的主语以及表语位置的A和B都不是简单的名词或名词短语,而是分别使用了动词不定式”to be a …”以及动名词短语“learning a simple skill”。
因此,我们不难看出,为了使得简单句写得更加丰富,大家可以不妨多尝试将原句中一些简单的名词替换成达意更具体的动作性描述,但是,大家一定要注意的是,做主语或者表语时切记将动词变成动名词或者动词不定式的形式
l 分词及分词短语做定语
不止是雅思大作文中能找到“不简单”的简单句的身影,小作文中同样也不乏这样一些高水平的简单句操作:
• The consumption of chicken, on the other hand, showed an upward trend, overtaking that of lamb in 1980 and that of beef in 1989. ---C7T2TASK1
这个句子使用的语言现象是现在分词(V-ing)做定语修饰句子主语”the consumption of chicken”。换句话说,其实这个句子包含了两层含义,大部分学生可能都会本能考虑用两个简单句来完成如:“The consumption showed an upward trend. It overtook that of lamb in 1980 and that of beef in 1989.”而事实证明,如果我们能效仿范文,在第一个简单句的基础上,将第二个简单句中的谓语动词分词化,引出其后的整个谓语及宾语成分,就可以写成一个“不简单”的现在分词做定语的句式了。值得注意的是,这两个简单句能合并成分词结构做定语的句式的前提是原本的两个简单句的主语是同一个。
• In 1979 beef was by far the most popular of these foods, with about 225 grams consumed per person per week. ---C7T2TASK1
同理,我们也可以在小作文中运用过去分词做定语的句式,如这句中的consumed为修饰数量名词“225 grams”的后置定语。不少学生可能宁愿用两个简单句保守地分别介绍特点和数据信息:“In 1979 beef was by far the most popular of these foods. About 225 grams (of beef) were consumed per person per week“。但是参考考官的例句,我们完全可以使用分词结构作定语结构将这两个原本普通的简单句合并,完成一个更为复杂的简单句的操作。
综上,大家只要在大小作文中多尝试将自己写的最简单的句式稍加处理,运用一些上述描述方法进行写作练习,长期下来对于雅思写作的第四项评分标准的得分一定会有帮助的。

Sentence Length
After World War II the wire services asked readability experts to examine their stories in an effort to improve them. Briefly, the experts determined that, on the average, short sentences (17 to 20 words) of short or common words built around active verbs are the best. What resulted was the popular idea that all sentences could be no more than 20 words. Many people ignored the word “average.”From The Bulletin in Bend, Ore., comes a good example--a story with sentences averaging 18.6 words. The writer, Dave Swan, achieved that by writing only 10 of 37 sentences longer than 20 words. Here are four unrelated paragraphs to show some of Swan's pace:
Henry “Hank” Bostleman, 532 NW Riverside, Bend, has been blowing glass for 25 years. He is now 70.
Bostleman is a neon sign blower. He works for the Carlson Co., 1605 NE Forbes Road.
“I really enjoy having something to do,” he said. “A lot of people my age don't have enough to keep them busy.”
“The new modern equipment has quite a few refinements on it,” he said. “But I've used this for years and it still works. In fact, I just had a sign come back in for repair that has been working for over 17 years. I think that's pretty good!”
What should not escape you--whether you are in print or broadcast journalism--is that some of the most effective sentences are direct quotations. People don't talk in long sentences. A sentence is too long if it can't be spoken in one deep breath. If your sentences make people gasp for air between the beginning and end, they are too long. Stop run-on sentences, such as this one:
And yet, at this writing, there are only nine days left before the fiscal year runs out and the state is still without the essential financing to
make it run efficiently and without the complete waste of funds which might result if there's no budget and revenue plan before July 1 and
institutions will have to borrow money at high interest rates in order to keep going.
The run-on sentence stumbles because by saying so much it ultimately says nothing. The reverse of the run-on is a string of short sentences say, 10 words and
under. A story built on such short sentences will read like a parody of journalistic
writing. A good journalist can let fly with a length of words that have flow, rhythm and stamina and that count toward a meaning rather than a quota.
Cutting the Length Naturally, when writing against a deadline, you cannot measure the length of your sentences. The secret is learning to write sentences of the right length before deadlines become a part of your life. Compute the average length of your sentences. If the average is high, find ways to reduce it.
Look at what you write; do you go on and on without putting in periods while at the same time ignoring commas, semicolons and other devices that might make reading your sentences easier or do you spot natural breaks in your long sentences and stop the sentences before they get out of hand? The preceding sentence is 53 words long. To make it read comfortably, change it to three sentences.
Look at what you write. Do you go on and on without putting in
periods while at the same time ignoring commas, semicolons and other devices that might make reading your sentences easier? Or do you spot natural breaks in your long sentences and stop the sentences before they get out of hand?
The paragraph has been reduced to an average of slightly more than 17 words a sentence by inserting punctuation marks that indicate full stops--periods and question marks--rather than punctuation marks that merely slow the reader down--commas and semicolons. This sentence should become two:
The agency said Moscow had also bolstered its military presence in Cuba by sending increasing numbers of military advisers and
constructing bases and using the island “as a bridgehead for contention
with the United States, and for infiltration in the Western Hemisphere, especially the Caribbean.”
That sentence contains 45 words for the reader to grasp in one breath. A period after bases and some editing would have made the preceding marginally digestible.
Plodding Sentences Trying to say too much at once creates long sentences, as evidenced by these examples from a student's paper:
Bugliosi, a former deputy district attorney for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office, made the statement in response to a question from the audience after his speech on the Tate-LaBianca murders for
which he successfully prosecuted Charles Manson and four members of his family.
Although he had been called in 1967 to prepare a search warrant for Sirhan's car, Bugliosi said he had no further involvement with the
case until late 1975 when one of the bystanders accidentally shot during
the REK assassination petitioned to have the murder weapon test-fired again.
More importantly, a number of individuals who were present at the hotel where Kennedy was shot in the hours and days after the killing,
among them hotel employees, Los Angeles police officers and a former FBI agent. say that bullets were found there which were never
mentioned in the state's case.
My advice to the student: Provide more bam-bam-bam and less plod-plod-plod. Here's a rewrite. It begins one paragraph later than the original because the first paragraph in the original is a throwaway:
Bugliosi, who in 1967 prepared a search warrant for Sirhan's car, said he became involved in the case again when a bystander at Kennedy's assassination asked to have the murder weapon test-fired again. The
request was made in late 1975.
More important, Bugliosi said, some of the witnesses and
investigators contend bullets were found at the scene of the assassination but never mentioned in Sirhan's trial. Among those making that claim
are a former FBI agent, some Los Angeles police officers and some hotel employees, Bugliosi said.
The rewrite's longest sentence is 33 words. The original's shortest is 45 (the throwaway sentence). And while some of the rewrite's brevity was reached by eliminating extraneous or redundant information, the main work of shortening the sentences came by not cramming too much between periods. Note that the date of the request rates a sentence to itself, as does the explanation of who said there were unmentioned bullets.
Natural Breaks Transitional areas in sentences provide ideal places for windy writers to insert periods. Make sure, however, that you're not putting a period in an unnatural spot. Don't, for the sake of brevity, punctuate this sentence
He drank 15 gin and tonics and 17 glasses of beer at the fraternity house party and then passed out.
like this
He drank 15 gin and tonics. And 17 glasses of beer at the fraternity house party and then passed out.
when what you could do is
He drank 15 gin and tonics and 17 glasses of beer at the fraternity house party. And then he passed out.
Not . . .but Be careful when dealing with not . . . but constructions, which can not be separated between two sentences.
What you need is not a profound knowledge of the terminology of the English language's grammar, but a sensitivity to how the language
operates.
To replace the comma (which some writers would not use anyway) with a period would foul the meaning of the sentence by creating two very fuzzy fragments.
Pace While working on reducing the length of your sentences, also try to vary their length. It is not enough to vary structure; you've got to work on your pace too. If you stick to one main thought a sentence, you will vary your sentence length naturally. Here are sentences of virtually unvaried length:
He said a president should lead this country and that right now there is a lack of leadership.
“Never has a president vetoed so many bills since the Civil War,” O'Neill said.
Ford defended himself, saying the vetoes have saved millions of dollars in deficits.
Of the 56 bills Ford has vetoed, Congress has sustained 42 vetoes, he said.
Earlier this year Ford vetoed a $3.7 billion appropriations bill for public works jobs.
He said the extra billions were not enough to make jobs where the jobs really are needed.
The length of those sentences is 18, 14, 13, 14. 14 and 17 words, which is hardly variety. This is readily apparent when you look at the sentences. Each is virtually the same length; each ends around the same place in a line. Sight alone indicates there is a problem. As an exercise, rewrite those six sentences with a more varied structure. The secret: tighten arid subordinate.
Avoiding Sentence Fragments
A sentence is defined as a group of words containing a subject, a verb, and a complete thought. If any of these elements is missing, then the group of words isn't a sentence. A fragment is a group of words that is punctuated like a sentence and that is trying to function as a sentence, but one of the necessary elements is missing.
There are several ways to find and correct fragments. Any group of words functioning as a sentence should be checked for the basics. Does it have a subject? Does it have a verb? Does it start with a subordinating conjunction or a relative pronoun that keeps the thought from being complete? If the answer to any of the questions is no, it is a fragment.
Correcting fragments is fairly simple and you have several options. For a fragment that is missing a subject or verb, add the missing element. If the problem is a subordinating conjunction, the conjunction can be removed which would make the fragment a complete sentence. Another option is to join the fragment to another sentence either before it or after it in the paragraph creating a complex sentence.
No matter how you choose to correct the fragment, it is important for you to eliminate them from your writing. Fragments are considered to be a major grammatical error in writing because they indicate that the writer isn't sure what a sentence is. Readers will often not pay attention to the point a writer is making if the reader thinks the writer doesn't even understand how to write a complete sentence.
Beyond the Simple Sentence
This chapter is about how to move past using simple basic sentences into using compound sentences. When sentences are combined they give a natural flow and rhythm to your writing that using all short sentences doesn't create.
Compound sentences are created through coordination. Coordination is taking two or more independent clauses and putting them into the same sentence using either a conjunction or a semicolon or both.
The most important element to making coordinated sentences is to be certain that you are joining two independent clauses instead of clauses and phrases. In addition to studying the conjunctions, you will also study the punctuation patterns for compound sentences. This chapter will cover three different methods for combining sentences: using a coordinating conjunction, using a conjunctive adverb, or using just a semicolon. By the time you have completed this chapter you should be able to write sentences that varying in length so that your writing has a more flowing style.
