(一)句子的写法
英语句子的形成主要根据结构搭建,和以意构(根据意义、逻辑时间等顺序安排
句子) 为特征的汉语相比,英语的结构显得严谨。英语的任何句子都以主谓语为
主干,遇到从句,如果从连接词入手进行分析也会比较容易。我们在本教材的
第一部分列出的几大语法现象可以帮助考生掌握英文中的主要句子结构。考生
在写作过程中应力图避免我们中国人易犯的英语语法错误,注意,英语写作核
查清单就是对这一问题的 总结 。需要特别指出的是,在英文写作中,考生应避
免使用过长的句子。

英文写作中应注意用词的准确性和简洁性,要避免使用不必要的词或过时的表
达方式。

division vice president and the subordinate departments,because although all of them are under
