高頻運用在陳述意見、解釋原因、表達因果關係、重述論點的重要性或強調重點和舉例(提供細節),除了欲展現更強烈的表達句意的語氣外,也希望增加文章的流暢度跟所謂作文中起承轉合的串連。 |
英文寫作中,學生們常使用所學的片語(慣用語)在各段落中當作一個句子的起頭,高頻運用在陳述意見、解釋原因、表達因果關係、重述論點的重要性或強調重點和舉例(提供細節),除了欲展現更強烈的表達句意的語氣外,也希望增加文章的流暢度跟所謂作文中起承轉合的串連。但文喬老師教學數年來,常看到的不僅是同學們重複的不斷使用General(一般用字)的字詞,如:I believe、I suggest、In general、First of all…Second…Next…Lastly…,卻不懂得使用Advanced alternatives(進階選擇替換語)。 文喬老師簡略整理16大類寫作常用訊號字比較,讓同學們在寫作中可以輕鬆運用! |
