If you are aiming for a high band score, it is not simply enough not to make mistakes, you also need to show that you can use a number of different grammatical constructions. First of all, I talk you through some principles and then I give you some practical suggestions on what sort of grammar can help and, just as importantly, how to use it.Test yourself firstBefore you read on. You might want to ask yourself these questions:往下看之前先想三个问题：∙∙Am I going to impress more with longer sentences? 我是要写长句子来让人印象深刻吗？∙Do I have a strategy for when I use simpler grammar and more complex grammar? 我有没有策略：什么时候用简单语法什么时候用复杂的语法结构？∙When and why do I use complex grammar like relative and conditional clauses? 什么时候要用复杂的语法结构，比如从句和条件句，为什么呢？An essay should combine simple with complex grammarThis is the starting point. A well-written essay should be relatively easy to read. This means that you need to combine the simple with the complex. Where you have straightforward to say, you should not try and show off your grammar by making it seem complex –indeed, that‟s a very common mistake.首先，一篇好文章应该是读起来相对容易的。

因此，简单和复杂的结构要结合使用！如果你能直接一点表述，不要想着炫耀自己的语法而把句子写得很复杂！这是很多烤鸭的一个通病！Typically, you should aim for:其实你应该做的是：∙∙simple structures when you are making main points –often in the opening and/or closing sentences of your paragraphs段落的开头和结尾尽量用简洁的结构表明观点！∙∙more complex structures when you are explaining/developing those main points in the body of your paragraphs稍微复杂的结构用来在段落中间解释或拓宽论点∙∙ a movement from the more simple to the more complex从简单到复杂要有一个过渡When you have something simple to say, say it simply. Only use complex structures for more complex thoughts.记住：要表达简单的东西，就用简单的话来说；只有复杂的观点才需要用复杂结构来表达。

An example of the simple and the complexThis paragraph expresses some complex thoughts, but it starts off simply to make the main point.The major argument against hosting international sporting events is financial.Typically, it can cost several million pounds to build the arenas and modernise the infrastructure so that it can cater for the athletes and the spectators. This money, it is argued, would be better spent on welfare and education programmes that provide direct support for the population.Indeed, some governments have incurred so much debt through hosting the Olympic Games that they have had to reduce spending on other social programmes. The first sentence of this paragraph is simple. All I want to do is make clear that the main reason is financial. I use simple clear English so that reader gets the main point. The grammar is “It is financial”.The next sentences are more complex and use complex structures to express more complex thoughtsso that：because I am talking about resultswould be better spent：because I am talking conditionallythat provide direct support for the population：because I am defying my terms An essay should combine longer and shorter sentences一篇文章应该长短句结合In many ways this is the same point. It is absolutely not the case of long sentences good, short sentences bad. There will be times when a short sentence is more effective than a long sentence. In general, though, you should avoid the extremes of very long and very short. Also, you need to ask yourself how complex your sentences are.长句子就好，短句子就不好，这并不是绝对的！有时候短句子比长句子更能表达清楚。

但是，基本上要避免超级长或是超级短的句子，而且你要清楚自己写的句子会有多复杂。

Shorter sentences can work:短句子可用在：∙∙if they are used in combination with longer sentences, or 如果用来连接稍长的句子∙if they are relatively complex 或者句子之间相对关系复杂。

Longer sentences can work:∙长句子可用在：∙if they are used with shorter sentences, or 和短句子一起用∙if they are simpler in structure (using “and” and “but”) 或者是结构上比较简单。

Be careful of too many long, complex sentences and too many short simple sentences总之，不要写结构复杂的长句子或是结构过于简单的短句子。

A paragraph with different sentence lengthsNone of the sentences in this paragraph are particularly long for short.Another way in which free public transport could improve our quality of life relates to congestion. Currently, the trend is for increasing numbers of people to choose to drive to work. This means that in many cases the rush hour is several hours long and it is sometimes almost impossible to travel across a city.It is probable that this level of congestion would be reduced by making public transport free.The first sentence is shorter because it is the opening sentence of the para and it also includes the complex “in which” construction.The second sentence is shortish again because it is merely stating a fact – no need to make it more complexThe third sentence is a lon ger sentence, but it is simply linked using “and”The final sentence is again relatively short/simple sentence but it does contain a conditional “would” and a “by” structure.Examples of grammar that can workThis is not intended to be a list of advanced grammar points that will guarantee you a band score 8.0. Rather, the idea here is to show you grammar connects to meaning. You should never just use a structure because it is “good” grammar. Instead, you need to ask yourself what is the best way I can express this point.下面这些为大家介绍的语法结构并非能保证你的8分，只是告诉你表达什么样的观点适合用什么结构，绝对不要只是因为这个结构好才用它，而是要问自己：用什么结构可以充分表达自己的观点？The best writers use these structures when they need to, not because they think they have to1. the passiveI start with the passive because it is so often misused. It is not the case that the passive is an academic structure that should be used in essays. We use it all the time in all sorts of contexts. Here, though, is one way you might find it helpful in writing: to avoid repeating words –especially nouns/pronouns.You may want to avoid using some words too much –especially words from the question. Here the passive can help you.被动语态主要是用来避免名词或代词不停地重复。
