3.通过分句和合句,增强句子的连贯性和表现力。如:

③总结:finally(最后),at last(最后),in brief(总之),in conclusion (最后)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:

[修正]A new railway is under construction in my hometown.
2.使用一些很有“洋味"的单词。如:

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.
