句子美化

A：状语前置

在英文写作里，状语前置是一种相当常用的句式变换手法。

状语前置就是把一个由副词、介词、现在分词或者动词不定式形成的小短语放在句首。这种句式最大的好处是让你的句子产生了一种长短结合的跳跃的节奏感。

C副词领路人

有些表示幅度或者范围的副词，如果放在形容词的前面引导形容词，经常可以起到让它们后面的形容词更加明确的作用。

例如: The ability to speak English is increasingly important in a global society.

merely ( just) stops the pain.

The product’s success can’t be solely（- only，但注意solely只能作副词）attributed to the advertising.

类似的副词还有：approximately（大约），markedly (显著地)，substantially（大幅度地，显著地，在比较正式的文章和演讲中异常常用），considerably（显著地，可观地），slightly 微小地，marginally c略微地，和fractionally 本意是分数地，但一般就近似“微小程度地”意思。

倒装这种语法现象同学们都学过，但经常想不到去积极使用。在新托福作文里如果找准机会用一次，会让考官感到一股暖流涌上心头。
