一、句子开头的技巧

　　改变句子的开头方式，不要一味地都是主语开头，可以把状语等置于句首。如以下各个原句显得平淡乏味，而改动句子开头后的句子则生动有趣，充满活力，自然就能提高作文档次。

　　(1) 以作状语的介词短语开头。如：

　　【原】We met at the school gate and went there together early in the morning.

　　【改】Early in the morning we met at the school gate and went there together.

　　(2) 以作状语的不定式短语开头。如：

　　【原】If you want to pass the exam, you should work very hard．

　　【改】In order to pass the exam, you should work very hard．

　　(3) 以作状语的副词开头。如：

　　【原】Students often stray into the habit of cheating on tests．

　　【改】Too often，students stray into the habit of cheating on tests．

　　(4) 以宾语开头。如：

　　【原】Now that you would not listen to my advice and you laughed at my helps, you will have what you asked for.

　　【改】My advice you would not listen to；my helps you laughed at．Now you will have what you asked for．

　　二、巧用非谓语动词

　　(1) 使用现在分词。如：

　　【原】We had a short rest. Then we began to play happily. We sang and danced. Some told stories. Some played chess.

　　【改】After a short rest, we had great fun singing and dancing, telling jokes and playing chess.

　　(2) 使用过去分词。如：

　　【原】He was satisfied with the result. He decided to go on with a new experiment

　　【改】 Satisfied with the result, he decided to go on with a new experiment.

　　三、灵活使用不同句式

　　灵活运用省略句、倒装句、强调句、感叹句、with的复合结构等多种句式。

　　(1) 省略句。如：

　　If so, victory will be ours.

　　(2) 倒装句。如：

　　【原】He didn't finish his homework until the teacher came.

　　【改】Not until the teacher came did he finish his work.

　　(1)名词性从句。如：

　　【原】We had to stand there to catch the offender. (from www.nmet168.com)

　　【改】What we had to do was (to) stand there, trying to catch the offender.

　　(2)定语从句。如：

　　【原】My aunt bought me a book. The title of the book is All about The USA.

　　【改】My aunt bought me a book, whose title is All about The USA.

　　此外，还需要注意长短句交替使用，体现表达节奏美。
