作文是各類英語考試中得分較低的一種題型，究其原因，除了平時缺少練習之外，同學們還缺乏作文得分技巧。同學們需要掌握一定的作文模板和熟悉大量的話題作文，純模板會很僵化缺乏彈性，而話題作文可以更好的拓展思維。考研英語寫作的提高需要大量細節的分析和磨練，其中一個重要的主題是關於英語創作的重要規律--seeking variety (追求語言豐富多變)。如何追求變化?下面舉幾個具體的`例子，從各種角度給出句型轉換的方式，提供一些思路。如果能在作文中設定一些詞彙和句型的閃光點，必定使你的作文如虎添翼。
一、注意段首句式的變化
圖畫作文的段首句往往是"如圖所示"或"從圖畫中可以看出"之類，下面為經常採用的一些句型：
As is shown in the picture,
As can be seen from the picture,
It is vividly shown in the picture that......
We can see in this picture that ......
It is of considerable interest to see in the bizarre picture that......
二、適當用被動替換主動，這樣能更客觀地反映事實。
句子開頭不要總是用we / I (比如寫結尾時不用we should pay attention to而用Attent
ion should be paid to. ) 舉個經典結尾的例子：It is, therefore, high time that some applicable approaches were implemented by the service industry like that. By doing so，its competitive edge will be sharpened effectively。
三、一句話用不同的句式來表達
為了加強同學們對語法知識在寫作中的靈活應用，下面給出一句話的14種句式及語言
調整的效果，內容上沒有太大差異，但是請同學們仔細辨別每句話所側重的句式：
1.使用表語從句
The picture shows two people reading the announcement on a billboard, and being shocked at the message. The reason is that the billboard is advertising a "sale of the dead bodies"。
2.使用介詞短語
In the picture, two people are reading the announcement and they are being shocked at the message of "a sale of dead bodies" on a billboard。

句中使用的片語包括：be of considerable interest, a couple of, taken aback, as a result of, inform sb. of
長句採用的特殊語法包括：賓語從句+分詞結構做插入語+分詞作後置定語(issued)+被動語態+原因短語+定語從句。

tive, favorable, rosy (美好的)，promising (有希望的)，perfect, pleasurable , excellent, outstanding, superior替換good
