星期二 如何合理搭配长短句
在实际写作中， 一味地采用长短句都是不可取的，长短句应交替使用。英语的句子主要可分为简单句、并列句和复合句三种。一般来说，写作中是以简单句为基础，配以适当的并列句和复合句。简单句也可长可短，一般会加些附属成分，如分词短语、不定式短语、介词短语和副词短语等。
一、长句的用法
长句含有许多修饰语，适合表达准确而复杂的思想，解释观点或理论，描写细致的事物。写作时，考生要注意前后句子之间是否存在联系，善于发现简单句之间的关联，用恰当的连接词将简单句连接起来，组成准确地道的复杂长句，增加文章的气势。
如：
原句：Lies do harm to those who are being told . Lies
also do harm to those who tell them .
优化：Lies not only do harm to those who
are being told , but also do harm to those who tell them .
原句：Natural
resources are very limited . They will be exhausted in the near future . It is
not true . But it becomes a major concern around the world . This is a widely
accepted fact .
优化：It is widely accepted fact that there is a major concern
around the word for the exhavstion of limited natural resources in the near
future , though it is unlikely to be true .
