④ 英語四級作文經典句式
1． 結尾萬能公式一：如此結論
說完了，畢竟要歸納一番，相信各位都有這樣的經歷，領導長篇大論，到最後終於冒出個「總而言之」之類的話，我們馬上停止開小差，等待領導說結束語。也就是說，開頭很好，也必然要有一個精彩的結尾，讓讀者眼前一亮，這樣，你就可以拿高分了！比如下面的例子：
Obviously（此為過渡短語）, we can draw the conclusion that good manners arise from politeness and respect for others.
如果讀者很難「顯而見之」，但說無妨，就當讀者的眼光太淺罷了！
更多過渡短語：
to sum up, in conclusion, in brief, on account of this, thus
更多句型：
Thus, it can be concluded that…, Therefore, we can find that…
2． 結尾萬能公式二：如此建議
如果說「如此結論」是結尾最沒用的廢話，那麼「如此建議」應該是最有價值的廢話了，因為這里雖然也是廢話，但是卻用了一個很經典的虛擬語氣的句型。拽！
Obviously, it is high time that we took some measures to solve the problem.
這里的虛擬語氣用得很經典，因為考官本來經常考這個句型，而如果我們自己寫出來，你說考官會怎麼想呢？
更多句型：
Accordingly, I recommend that some measures be taken.
Consequently, to solve the problem, some measures should be taken.
寫作的「七項基本原則」
一、 長短句原則
工作還得一張一馳呢，老讓讀者讀長句，累死人！寫一個短小精闢的句子，相反，卻可以起到畫龍點睛的作用。而且如果我們把短句放在段首或者段末，也可以揭示主題：
As a creature, I eat; as a man, I read. Although one action is to meet the primary need of my body and the other is to satisfy the intellectual need of mind, they are in a way quite similar.
如此可見，長短句結合，抑揚頓挫，豈不爽哉？牢記！
強烈建議：在文章第一段（開頭）用一長一短，且先長後短；在文章主體部分，要先用一個短句解釋主要意思，然後在闡述幾個要點的時候採用先短後長的句群形式，定會讓主體部分妙筆生輝！文章結尾一般用一長一短就可以了。
二、 主題句原則
國有其君，家有其主，文章也要有其主。否則會給人造成「群龍無首」之感！相信各位讀過一些破爛文學，故意把主體隱藏在文章之內，結果造成我們稀里糊塗！不知所雲！所以奉勸各位一定要寫一個主題句，放在文章的開頭（保險型）或者結尾，讓讀者一目瞭然，必會平安無事！
特別提示：隱藏主體句可是要冒險的！
To begin with, you must work hard at your lessons and be fully prepared before the exam（主題句）. Without sufficient preparation, you can hardly expect to answer all the questions correctly.
三、 一二三原則
領導講話總是第一部分、第一點、第二點、第三點、第二部分、第一點… 如此羅嗦。可畢竟還是條理清楚。考官們看文章也必然要通過這些關鍵性的「標簽」來判定你的文章是否結構清楚，條理自然。破解方法很簡單，只要把下面任何一組的詞彙加入到你的幾個要點前就清楚了。
1）first, second, third, last（不推薦，原因：俗）
2）firstly, secondly, thirdly, finally（不推薦，原因：俗）
3）the first, the second, the third, the last（不推薦，原因：俗）
4）in the first place, in the second place, in the third place, lastly（不推薦，原因：俗）
5）to begin with, then, furthermore, finally（強烈推薦）
6）to start with, next, in addition, finally（強烈推薦）
7）first and foremost, besides, last but not least（強烈推薦）
8）most important of all, moreover, finally
9）on the one hand, on the other hand（適用於兩點的情況）
10）for one thing, for another thing（適用於兩點的情況）
建議：不僅僅在寫作中注意，平時說話的時候也應該條理清楚！
六、 多變句式原則
1）加法（串聯）
都希望寫下很長的句子，像個老外似的，可就是怕寫錯，怎麼辦，最保險的寫長句的方法就是這些，可以在任何句子之間加and, 但最好是前後的句子又先後關系或者並列關系。比如說：
I enjor music and he is fond of playing guitar.
如果是二者並列的，我們可以用一個超級句式：
Not only the fur coat is soft, but it is also warm.
其它的短語可以用：
besides, furthermore, likewise, moreover
2）轉折（拐彎抹角）
批評某人缺點的時候，我們總習慣先拐彎抹角說說他的優點，然後轉入正題，再說缺點，這種方式雖然陰險了點，可畢竟還比較容易讓人接受。所以呢，我們說話的時候，只要在要點之前先來點廢話，注意二者之間用個專這次就夠了。
The car was quite old, yet it was in excellent condition.
The coat was thin, but it was warm.
更多的短語：
despite that, still, however, nevertheless, in spite of, despite, notwithstanding
3）因果（so, so, so）
昨天在街上我看到了一個女孩，然後我主動搭訕，然後我們去咖啡廳，然後我們認識了，然後我們成為了朋友…可見，講故事的時候我們總要追求先後順序，先什麼，後什麼，所以然後這個詞就變得很常見了。其實這個詞表示的是先後或因果關系！
The snow began to fall, so we went home.
更多短語：
then, therefore, consequently, accordingly, hence, as a result, for this reason, so that
