第二十五章如何用语法提高写作能力

语法学习最终要服务表达。写作时可从简单句开始，再逐步增加结构。

25.1 从简单句开始

English is important.
I study English every day.
Reading helps me learn new words.

English is difficult, but I enjoy learning it.
英语很难，但我喜欢学。

原因：

I study English because I want to communicate with more people.

条件：

If I practice every day, I will make progress.

定语：

I like books that teach me useful skills.

名词性从句：

I believe that practice is the key to language learning.

普通表达：

I read English articles every day because I want to improve my vocabulary.

更简洁：

I read English articles every day to improve my vocabulary.

普通表达：

When I listen to English podcasts, I write down useful expressions.

更紧凑：

Listening to English podcasts, I write down useful expressions.

注意：分词结构的逻辑主语要和主句主语一致。

错误：

Walking down the street, a car hit me.

这句话字面上像是“车走在街上时撞了我”。应改为：

Walking down the street, I was hit by a car.

或更自然：

As I was walking down the street, a car hit me.
