雅思考试的句型变换分享

　　在雅思作文中，Grammatical range and accuracy作为四大评分标准之一，在大家的考研道路上占有者举足轻重的地位。对于语法这一项来说，大家往往认为长长的从句是体现自己语底的机会，但殊不知，一些灵活短小的句型更能吸引考官的注意力。那如何才能实现长短结合，短小精悍还能体现不同的语法结构呢？就让我们来学几个把普通的从句变化成更能体现语法能力的心机句型。
　　Many people hold the opinion that health care should be free. They argue that, if health care is free, people will not have to worry about the expensive health care expense. This is particularly important for economically disadvantaged people. With free health care, they can go to hospital whenever they find there is anything wrong with their health without worrying about money.
　　这是节选自类章节中一篇范文的语段，读起来是不是朗朗上口，不是从句套从句，没有审美疲劳。那大家发现什么替换方面的小技巧了吗？下面我们来一一揭秘。
　　去掉there be句型
　　There be 句型很容易使用，但也很容易被滥用。在考场作文中我们可以见到大量there be 引导的句子，但它们绝大多数可以精简。比如一、句，很多同学可能就会写：There are many people who hold the opinion that ...但是这个句型就可以精简为Many people hold the opinion that...
　　此外很多同学喜欢在小作文的一、段用there be句型来描述图画中的内容，例如：There is a line graph which illustrates the changes of temperature in China.我们可以将句子改为：The picture depicts changes of temperature in China.
　　there be 句型一般表示“某地有某物”，在修改时，可以使用一个恰当的动词进行替换（比如上面句子中的 abound ）。再比如：There were more foreign students in the classroom than the natives.可以改写为：Foreign students outnumbered the natives in the classroom.
　　除了去掉 there be 结构之外，这里还使用 outnumber 来代替 more...than... 这一个比较结构。类似的词还有 outlive, outshine, outclass, outgrow, outperform 等。
　　替换if从句
　　If从句意为“如果……那么……”，这一句型在雅思写作中有大量应用。比如范文中的if health care is free, people will not have to worry about the expensive health care expense. 但是如果频繁使用，效果就没有那么好了，那么就采用一些技巧将if从句进行变换，比如with 结构：With free health care, they can go to hospital whenever they find there is anything wrong with their health. 其实在很多同学脑子里的一、反应应该是if health care is free, they can go to hospital whenever ...
　　再举个例子：If we fail to solve environmental problems, future generations will suffer.可以将if we fail to do something替换为名词表达failure to do something，同时对相应的动词进行词性变换，这样可以让句子结构更加紧凑，表达效果更好：Failure to solve environmental problems will cause/result in the suffering of future generations.
　　再举个例子：If the government intervenes, house prices will decrease.可以将If the government intervenes改为名词形式government intervention，句子可以改为：Government intervention will push down house prices.

　　以上就是范文中提示我们在句型变换的两个小方法。此外，在雅思作文中although/even though从句也是一个同学们非常非常喜欢的表达方式。 但是受中文表达习惯影响，很多人容易将although/even though与but连用，避免出现这一问题的方法是对它们进行替换，这样在句式上也会更加多样。
　　举个例子：Although the city has many problems, it is still the best place for the young and ambitious.我们可以用despite/in spite of 名词表达的形式来代替although从句：In spite of / despite its many problems, the city is still the best place for the young and ambitious.
　　又比如：Although he did not receive formal education, he is a good actor and director.我们可以将它改为：He is a good actor and director in spite of his lack of formal education.
　　除了 there be 句型之外，定语从句在考场作文中的使用频率也非常高。我们可以使用非谓语形式来对一些定语从句进行替换。举个例子：Because of traffic congestion, commuters have to spend long hours on the road, which leads to lost productivity.可以将which leads to…这部分替换为现在分词形式leading to… 即：Because of traffic congestion, commuters have to spend long hours on the road, leading to lost productivity.在写作时可以尝试着将不必要的关系代词除，或者将其转换为分词结构或名词词组，这样会更加简洁有力。
