如何写出满分作文

一、写出正确句子

观察下面的句子

错句：It was raining hard, they could not work in the fields.

修改：

It was raining hard; they could not work in the fields.

It was raining hard. They could not work in the fields.

It was raining so hard that they couldn’t work in the

fields.

They couldn’t work in the fields because it was raining hard.

It was raining hard, so they could not work in the fields.

（Which one is preferable depends on the context and the writer’s intention.

）

二、简单句、并列句与复合句的转化

一篇文章含有的句子具有种类的多样性, 可以是简单句、并列句与复合句。三种句式配合使用会产生错落有致的美感。我们了解一下它们的特点：

简单句、并列句与复合句的特点

句子优点缺点

简单句强劲有力, 意思清晰, 与长句子配合使用会产生句式的多样性美感如果全文是简单句, 评卷教师可能认为语法水平有限

并列句意义对称、对比、对仗、对偶, 读起来错落有致用多了显得枯燥

复合句主要意义在主句, 次要意义在从句, 逻辑泾渭分明, 语言读来有气势语法容易错, 即使对了, 句子太长读者理解有困难

结论三种句式配合使用会产生错落有致的美感

1. 合并简单句成为复合句或并列句
