可以说写作部分对于很多同学来说，都是拿分弱项，其实除了平时的练习外，我们除了了解词汇和短语如何灵活使用，句型也不要忽略。

而有些同学想展现自己的写作实力，特别想写一些长难句，但没有写好或写到位，不仅不能加分，也有可能会扣分。也有同学有不少语法错误，真的就有些得不偿失了。

在托福官方评分标准中语法部分强调两点∶展示syntactic variety(句法的多样性)和errors(错误)越少越好。

其实托福考察的是学生是否能灵活叙述，并且用能表达内容的句型来恰当描述，其中就不难涉及到复合句型。

接下来，小编就为大家介绍6种比较常见的复合句型，以及最新出的2023USNews排名中的院校对托福成绩要求水平，希望能帮助大家做好备考准备，尽早规划~

什么是复合句?

从结构上说，句子分为三类∶

简单句 (Simple Sentences)——句子成分都由单词或短语担任，且只有一个主谓结构。

例∶ I love you.

并列句(Compound Sentences)——句子成分都由单词或短语担任，但有两个或更多的互不依从的主谓结构。

例∶ I lover you, and you love me.

复合句 (Complex Sentences)———从句担任句子成分。

例：I believe that you love me.(从句担任该句宾语)

中国考生熟悉的从句是宾语从句(I think that…)、状语从句(If/because…)和定语从句(… people who..)。不熟悉的从句是主语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。

快速学习6种复合句

宾语从句

下面例句中∶第一句包含两个从句;第二句是介词后的宾语从句，会写的考生不多，要重点学习。

· While there are both benefits and drawbacks to a multicultural society,it is safe to say that the pros outweigh the cons.(while 引导状语从句，that 引导宾语从句)

· Traditionally, the approach has been to punish criminals by placing them in prisons to pay for what they have done.(what 引导宾语从句，作为介词 for 的宾语)

状语从句

状语从句花样很多，除了人人都会的 because 以外，还要求大家复习两种∶if引导的条件状语从句和 while (虽然、尽管)引导的让步状语从句。

1. If

· If a person loses a job but can get assistance,or a minority still has an equal opportunity of success, then we can say this country is advanced.

· Many medications and procedures currently in use would not exist if animal testing was banned.(当表示可能性很小或想象中的事情时，用虚拟语气)

2. While

· While the economic development has made our life more comfortable, it has also polarized the society in the distribution of wealth.

· Whie traditional buildings might look nice from the outside，they are often not very user-friendly.(有时可用 although 代替)

定语从句

1. who 引导，修饰"人"Those who…，……的人……Students who…，……的学生……Children who…，……的孩子…….

· Those who feel that sports stars' salaries are justified might argue that the number of professionals with real talent are very few.

· Students without teachers will surely be lost; but students who simply rely on teachers for knowledge aren't really learning.

· Chidren who enter school at an early age are generlly more confident and independen than children who stay at home with their parents.

2. that 引导，修饰"物"

· How to handle criminals is a problem(that)all countries and societies face.(that 在定语从句中作宾语，可省)

· Advertisement is an effective marketing tool(that)almost every company uses.(同上)

3. 逗号后加 which 引导，修饰前面的整个句子 (非限制性定语从句)

· Demand for various commodities creates a huge market for the local and international businesses,which in turn increases demand for the labor market.

· Governments should develop and launch a good traffic control system, which can monitor and facilitate traffic flows on major roads for better and safer road usage,reducing the chances of acidents.

主语从句

用that或wh-词引导的从句作为主句的主语名词。在写作中我们只需要会写下面3个主语从句∶(下划线部分为句子主语)

1. Whether 引导的主语从句

· Whether the increase of fuel price can solve the world's environmental problem is a controversial issue.

· Whether universities should provide students with practical skills or academic knowledge is a controversial issue.

2. 先行词 it 开始的主语从句

· It is obvious that investing in education is investing in one's future.

· It is obvious that human activities have the greatest impact on environment.

3. 在文章中辩论时，要强调自己观点的正确性并同时驳斥反方观点，我们有一种强大的句型武器∶what 引导的主语从句 + not… but…. 搭配。

· What most companies and workforces need are not robots, but creative people who can contribute ideas.

· What the poor countries need most is not money,but advanced technologies and talents in some key areas.

同位语从句

同位语从句实际上是 that 前面那个名词的解释或具体内容。that在这里相当于破折号(——)的作用。

· Nowadays,an increasing number of people are concerned about the phenomenon that our kids are spending more time watching TV.(第一段第一句用到)

· I agree with the view that not only governments but every single citizen should do one's part to fix this problem.(第一段最后一句用到)

表语从句

· This means that change is not always a personal option, but an inescapable fact of life.

· This is because it is the rich and powerful people in our society who are able to impose changes.

· Another reason for this is that old buildings, like native language,form a cultural identity and keep a unique record of a country.

融会贯通以上的从句，你就拥有了托福写作25分以上的语法功力。再在作文中点缀一些花俏招式，比如not only…but also…;neither…nor…;too…to…;not to mention;regardless of 等，这样写作内容会更丰富精彩了。
