【托福培训-写作】神一样存在的那些词 (4)

今天我们介绍一下托福写作中句子扩展的“终极”方法。武侠中最简单的招式往往最具有杀伤力，所以经常在句子中使用我们再熟悉不过的 and，对于句子扩展而言，“谁用谁说好”。

我们首先来看下面的例句：

The use of land is of essential importance to the survival of mankind.

是否可以通过在the survival of mankind后面加上and, 后接一个名词 ，构成和前者的并列呢？

The use of land is of essential importance to the survival of mankind and the development of modern society.

>>> 友情提示：对于可以熟练使用including的小伙伴来说，这个方法就是“小case”。

又如：An appealing restaurant is featured by a convenient location, a variety of food choice, and a comfortable dining atomosphere.

>>> 友情提示：例句中and之前的逗号，我们称之为 oxford comma, 主要是在列举多个对象时，在最后的and前加上逗号，以减少可能的歧义。Oxford comma 也可省略。

我们同样可以用and来连接形容词和副词，如：

Books written on the basis of realities are valuable and helpful to most people.

It is the responsibility of parents to teach their children how to become diligent, skillful, and knowledgable.

Experienced workers would complete a competitive duty smoothly and successfully.

Machines are definitely a better way for each individual to work efficiently, proficiently, and enjoyably.

最后也是最重量级用法登场的时刻——其是托福写作高分范文的必备“神器”：and连接的动词短语并列，如：

According to psychologists, listening to gentle melodies relaxes people's minds and erases their nerves.

"Never give up" helps students maintain courage in the face of difficulties and inspires them to continue with their efforts persistently.

Tremendous investments are being made to construct more roads, build more overpasses, and develop new bus and subway lines.

在托福写作中，经常使用 and来连接下列的动词短语：broaden one's knowledge base and enrich one's social experience, overcome numerous difficulties and achieve great success, hone one's skills and fulfill one's potentials等等。我们需要在平时的写作中多多注意总结和积累。

>>> 大家可以尝试and下面的句子，并将答案和大家一起分享：

Moving to a different place grants one a new neighbourhood in which to reside.

Once athletes start their sports endeavors, intensive training is unavoidable.

A person with a good sense of humor is able to help his friend lift a cloudy mood.

熟练掌握 including , especially , with 和 and 这些“神词”可以使我们在扩展托福写作句子的过程中达到“信手拈来”的境界。
