加拿大語言考試雅思寫作使用repetition有哪些好處

加拿大語言考試，雅思不管在大作文還是小作文中，有效段落的一個重要特征是統(tǒng)一性（unity）。一個統(tǒng)一的段落從頭到尾都堅持一個主題，每個句子都對該段的中心目的和主旨有所貢獻。雅思備考

但是，在一個強有力的段落不僅僅是一些松散的句子的集合。這些句子需要有明確的聯(lián)系，以便讀者or考官能夠跟上，能領(lǐng)悟到句子中的一個具體信息如何過渡到下一個具體信息。因此，一個段落中有明確聯(lián)系的句子被認(rèn)為是有凝聚力的。

上篇文章中，我們講到了如何利用簡單的代詞提高文章的連貫性，但有些情況下，當(dāng)使用代詞時，有時代詞的指代對象并不總是能表述的非常清楚。這個時候，通過重復(fù)一個關(guān)鍵的名詞或它同義詞就可以達到清晰表意的目的。在雅思寫作中，不管是大作文還是小作文自我重復(fù)也是一種體現(xiàn)文章連貫性的重要手段手段。

讓我們先來做一個小測試熱身一下 在下面的文本中，下劃線處填入it或者English

English has almost become an international language.Except for Chinese,more people speak

---than any other language.Spanish is the official language of more countries in the world,but more countries have---as their official or unofficial second language.More than 70%of the world's mail is written in---.---is the primary language on the Internet.

答案：

English has almost become an international language.Except for Chinese,more people speak it(clear reference;retain)than any other language.Spanish is the official language of more countries in the world,but more countries have English(it is replaced with a key noun)as their official or unofficial second language.More than 70%of the world's mail is written in English(it is replaced with a key noun).It(clear reference;retain)is the primary language on the Internet.

如果在做這個測試的時候你有選錯答案，或者做題過程中感到了困惑，請接著往下看吧！

什么時候使用重復(fù)？

當(dāng)代詞無謂的重復(fù)，造成表意不清或單調(diào)時。

有時，即使指代明確，也喜歡重復(fù)一個比較重要，需要我們在文中強調(diào)的名詞。在下面的這段文本中，很明顯是指關(guān)鍵名詞gold，但如果在整個文本中使用代詞，風(fēng)格就會變得很單調(diào)。

比如這個

Gold,a precious metal,is prized for two important characteristics.First of all,it has a lustrous beauty that is resistant to corrosion.Therefore,it is suitable for jewellery,coins and ornamental purposes.It never needs to be polished and will remain beautiful forever.For example,a Macedonian coin remains as untarnished today as the day it was minted 23 centuries ago.Another characteristic of it is its usefulness to industry and science.For many years,it has been used in hundreds of industrial applications,such as photography and dentistry.Its most recent use is in astronauts’suits.Astronauts wear heat shields made from it for protection when they go outside spaceships in space.In conclusion,it is treasured not only for its beauty but also its utility.

在這段內(nèi)容中，雖然可以根據(jù)語義推斷出所有的it全部指代的是黃金，但讀起來會覺得單調(diào)乏味，因此，我們可以將部分It換成gold，如下：

【總】Gold,a precious metal,is prized for two important characteristics.【分1】First of all,gold has a lustrous beauty that is resistant to corrosion.Therefore,it is suitable for jewellery,coins and ornamental purposes.Gold never needs to be polished and will remain beautiful forever.For example,a Macedonian coin remains as untarnished today as the day it was made 23 centuries ago.【分2】Another important characteristic ofgold is its usefulness to industry and science.For many years,it has been used in hundreds of industrial applications.The most recent use of gold is in astronauts’suits.Astronauts wear gold-plated shields when they go outside spaceships in space.【總】In conclusion,gold is treasured not only for its beauty but also its utility.

那么我們要把哪些it替換成gold呢？通讀全部內(nèi)容后，我們來劃分一下段落結(jié)構(gòu)，總分總結(jié)構(gòu)，主要介紹了黃金的兩個特征，因此在每引入一個特征的時候我們通常會直接重復(fù)gold；在結(jié)尾總結(jié)的時候也直接使用了原詞，以起強調(diào)作用，同時也可以引起讀者的注意，加強讀者印象。

如何能再使用重復(fù)的基礎(chǔ)上，讓文章更加流暢自然？

我們除了使用相同的詞進行重復(fù)，也可以使用代詞+重復(fù)詞的同義詞

In the two main studies,no dramatic change was found in the rate of corrosion.

只使用代詞：In the two main studies,no dramatic change was found in the rate of corrosion.It could be due to several reasons.這句話中的it無法說明清楚接下來要交代的原因是什么。雅思寫作

只使用重復(fù)：In the two main studies,no dramatic change was found in the rate of corrosion.No dramatic change could be due to several reasons.雖然使用重復(fù)說明清楚了指代事物，但讀起來會覺得句子有些啰嗦

使用代詞+重復(fù)詞的同義詞：In the two main studies,no dramatic change was found in the rate of corrosion.This finding could be due to several reasons.我們把No dramatic change替換為this finding既說明清楚了內(nèi)容所指，同時讓前一句話更自然地過渡到下一句話。
