一、以下四种手段是增加句子复杂性的常见方法，也是得高分的“亮点”。
1.改变句子的开头方式，不要一味地都是主语开头，接着是谓语、宾语，最后再加一个状语。可以把状语置于句首，或用分词做状语等。?
［原文］we met at the school gate and went there together early in the morning.
［修正］early in the morning we met at the school gate and went there together.
［原文］the young man couldn't help crying when he heard the bad news.?
［修正］hearing the bad news，the young man couldn't help crying.?
2.在整篇文章中，避免只使用一两个句式，要灵活运用诸如倒装句、强调句、主从复合句、分词状语等。
①强调句?
［原文］my parents praised ah fu warmly. it had saved my little sister bravely.
［修正］my parents praised ah fu warmly. it was our brave ah fu who had saved my little sister bravely.?
②由what等引导的从句，此处的what相当于中文的“所……”，有很大的概括力，如：?
［原文］we had to stand there to catch the offender.?
［修正］what we had to do was (to) stand there， trying to catch the offender.?
what china has achieved in recent years is known through the world.
china is no longer what it used to be.?
③由with或without引导的短语。如：?
he sat in a chair with a newspaper in the hand.?
④分词短语。如：?
satisfied with the result， he decided to go on with a new experiment.?
⑤倒装句。如：?
only in this way can we achieve our goal.?
never before have i seen such a wonderful film.?
⑥省略句。如：?
if so， victory will be ours.
you can make some changes wherever necessary.?
⑦对比，这是中文中也常用的方法。如：?
failure is not a crime， but failure to learn from failure is.?
when i play， i feel excited， and after it i feel relaxed.?
3.通过分句和合句，增强句子的连贯性和表现力。?
［原文］he stopped us half an hour ago. he made us catch the next offender.?
［修正］he stopped us half an hour ago and made us catch the next offender.?
［原文］we had a short rest. then we began to play happily. we sang and danced.?
some told stories. some played chess.?
［修正］after a short rest， we had great fun singing and dancing，telling jokes and playing chess.?
4.学会使用过渡词。如：?
①递进： then(然后)， besides(还有)， furthermore(而且)， moreover(此外)等。?
②转折： however(然而)， but(但是)， on the country(相反)， after all(毕竟)等。?
③总结： finally(最后)， at last(最后)， in brief(总之)， in conclusion(最后)等。?
④强调： indeed(确实)， certainly(一定)， surely(确定)， above all(尤其)等。?
⑤对比： in the same way(同样地)， just as(正如)， on the one hand…on the other hand(一方面……另一方面……)等。?
5.注意使用不同长度的句子。?
二、对于“较复杂的词汇”，可以从以下几个方面着手。?
1.注意使用词组、习语来代替一些单词，以增加文采。如：?
［原文］a new railway is being built in my hometown.?
［修正］a new railway is under construction in my hometown.?
2.使用一些很有“洋味”的单词。如：?
thank you for sharing the time with us.?
the way he views the world is very practical.?
3.避免重复使用某一单词或短语。如：?
［原文］i like reading while my brother likes watching television.
［修正］i like reading while my brother enjoys watching television.
