雅思基础写作第四讲动词与非谓语动词

动词概况

定义：

表示动作或状态的词叫做动词。

可分为四类，分别是：实义动词、系动词、助动词、情态动词。有些情况下，有些动词是兼类词：We are having a meeting.

He has gone to New York.

分类：

1.实义动词--- play, eat, murder, investigate

2.系动词

本身有词义，系动词后面必须接表语，用来

说明主语的状况、性质、特征等。

be;

seem, look, appear;

remain, keep, stay;

feel, smell, sound, look;

become, turn, grow, fall;

prove, turn out

翻译：

这谣言证明有假。

他开会时总是保持沉默。

他看起来很生气。

这花闻起来很香。

他梦想成为一名保安。

3.助动词---be, have, do, shall, will, should, would

协助主要动词构成谓语动词的词叫助动词。

助动词自身没有词义，不可单独使用：

He doesn't like English.

助动词协助主要动词完成以下功用，可以用来：

a. He is singing.

He has got married.

b. He was sent to England.

c. Did you study English before you came here?

d. I don't like him.

条件状语从句在雅思写作中的应用

大作文举例只会用if？是时候换换啦 ——条件状语从句在写作中的应用王洪亮今天跟大家分享一个老生常谈的知识点，什么叫做条件状语从句呢？通俗来讲，往往由引导词if或unless引导的状语从句叫做条件状语从句。在英文中，条件是指某一件事情实现之后，其它事情才能发生，通常译作“假如”。在写作中，条件状语从句十分好用，拿过来就能用，可以起到很好的突出强调作用。一提到条件句，很多同学马上就会想用if来引导。首先，我们一起来看以下七个句子：Part A： 1 You can borrow my dictionary if you return it before you go home. 2 You cannot go to university if you do not have good grades. 3 Pollution will get worse if we continue to live in a throwaway society. 4 Many developed countries are willing to waive the Third World debt if the mon-ey is reinvested in education and medicine. 5 Some countries will never be able to rectify their deficits even if they work hard. 6 Computers are difficult things to understand, even if you read a lot of books about them. 7 Crime is a problem, even if you go to relatively safe countries. 这些句子都是由if 引导的条件句（ even if 可以是条件也可以是让步状语从句），这些句子固然很好，但是是不是有些千篇一律呢？条件状语从句不仅仅限于if，下面给大家介绍一些可以替换if 的方式。我们分别用以下短语来替换上面七句话中的if ： providing that （假如） / unless (除非） / as long as （只要） / on condition that （如果，条件是）/ no matter how （不管怎样）/ however many （无论多少）/ wherever （无论什么地方）第一句话可以直接用providing that ( 也可以用provided that ) 来替换if 1 You can borrow my dictionary providing that you return it before you go home. 第二句话可以把if not 换成unless 2 You cannot go to university unless you have good grades. 第三句话可以直接用as long as 替换if 3 Pollution will get worse as long as we continue to live in a throwaway society. 第四句话可以直接用on condition that 替换if 4 Many developed countries are willing to waive the Third World debt on condi-tion that the money is reinvested in education and medicine. 第五句话用no matter how 直接替代if 5 Some countries will never be able to rectify their deficits even if they work hard.

雅思大作文范文三篇雅思大作文写

雅思大作文范文三篇雅思大作文写正题： ESSAY分为三部分： 1.Introduction 2.Body 3.Conclusion 一篇学术性论文当中，这三部分是必须要有的，同理在考试中才能得高分。那么什么是introduction呢，之前看书说是把题目用替换词带入照抄，后来发现这是傻瓜式写法，对于要求写作7分以上的同学并不适用。真正的introduction是“present your viewpoint”那么怎样来present呢？继续。第一步：lead-in background information即导入背景信息。看这个例子：

Some people think visitors to other countries should imitate local custom and behaviors. Some people degree. They think the host country should wele culture different. Discuss the two views，and give your own opinion.. 这个论文题目里， tourism 就是一个背景信息，所以我们introduction里第一句就该来介绍或者叫导入背景信息，即 tourism的信息。例如： Tourism has became an indispensable part in our modern world.或者Tourism is gradually considered to be a hot topic 第二步：narrow down information即从大背景信息里提出你要去论证的方面。还是上面给出的题目，你要narrow down出来的就是：“people show more concern to their two views. Some of them think visitors to others nations should imitate local custom and behaviors，but others argue that the host nation should wele various cultures” 第三步：your viewpoint即给出你自己的立场。例如上题你就可以说：“As far as I am concerned，I side with the former”

朗阁-雅思写作中如何利用状语从句拿分

雅思写作中如何利用状语从句拿分朗阁海外考试研究中心在雅思写作考试中，状语从句的使用能起到非常明显的强调突出作用，如何利用状语从句拿高分呢？本文中，朗阁海外考试研究中心的专家将重点讲解在雅思写作中容易拿分的四大从句。状语从句在从句中充当状语成分，也就是在文章排除主谓宾的情况下所存在的成分。状语在一个句子里的作用有时间、目的、地点、原因、结果、让步、条件、方式等，所以状语从句就是表示上述作用的从句。一、原因状语从句能引导原因状语从句的词汇有：because，as，since，in that 例如： World food output per head has risen by 4 per cent between the 1970s and 1980s mainly as a result of increases in yields from land already in cultivation but also because more land has been brought under plough. 在20世纪70以及80年代，平均每人的食物产量增加了4%，主要是因为现有的耕地食物产量增加，还有一个原因是越来越多的土地被用来耕地。 The removal of subsidies stopped land-clearing and over-stocking, because they in the past had been the principal causes of soil erosion. 因为津贴的废除，导致开荒毁林以及过度放牧的停止，曾经这是水土流失的主要原因。 Such fuel crops are less likely to contribute to the greenhouse effect as they produce far less carbon dioxide, and absorb carbon dioxide as they grow. 这样的燃料作物相比之下更不太可能导致温室效应，因为燃烧他们产生的二氧化碳更少并且在这些作物的成长过程中会吸收二氧化碳。从以上句子中可以看出，原因状语从句的引导词后面接的是一个完整的句子，不能缺少任何
