有些同学在SAT写作练习中为了凑文章的单词数总是喜欢把简单的句式复杂化,把一个本应该简洁的表达方式写得很罗嗦,甚至把一个意思用几个相近的单词反复说明,我们一定要在SAT写作练习中避免这些重复。
1. 尽量避免重复使用同样的词汇。或者有的时候虽然词汇没有重复,但意思却有重复。这时候可以做一些简化的工作。例如下面这个例子:
The farm my grandfather grew up on was large in size. Large 对一个farm来说就是size方面的large,所以in size可以去掉,改为:The farm my grandfather grew up on was large.
更简洁的表达方式为:My grandfather grew up on a large farm.
2. 有时一个词组可以用一个更简单的单词来替换,例如: My grandfather has said over and over again that he had to work on his parents farm.
这里的over and over again就可以改为repeatedly,显得更为简洁: My grandfather has said repeatedly that he had to work on his parents farm.
以上提到的问题在很多同学的SAT写作练习中都有发生,复杂的句式让人读起来都觉得很绕口,SAT写作中我们可以通过多举例来说明问题,而不应该发生这种重复现象。
