雅思官方对于写作的评判遵循global scoring的原则,如何提高句子的表现力,使考官能够impressive,来提升自己的写作level当属学生最感困惑之处,往往加倍的努力并不一定收效显著,还会在具体写作时捉襟见肘,错误叠出,这大部分是由于平时积累欠缺,对西方写作风格掌握不够的缘故。针对大部分考生备考时间短的现实,分析认为,除了加强练习不同的写作话题,积累观点,储备功能性套句以外,若能从定语从句的角度具体细致地进行练习,也不失为良策。因为它具备如下特点:

一、简单易操作

定语从句是中学语法内容中的重要部分之一,大部分同学只是对其用法模糊而已,不够细致和确定而已,不存在对根本概念的输入难度。但正因为如此,也使得考生容易掉以轻心,此时教师应充分强调其重要性。

由于大部分学生手中都有现有的语法书,只需要提醒学生关注相应定语从句的章节即可,简单易行。笔者以下列‘常用that 不用which ’的用法举例,归纳为11点,方便学生在练习时查对。
