小编:长安 1016 不管雅思考试还是未来出国之后的学术论文,对于学生开始了解和掌握一定的学术表达是必要的,所以宁波环球教育陈如成老师写这篇文章的目的是开启学生对学术表大的一些基本认识和运用。
Formal writing - using noun phrases
如何使你的论文或报告更正式:
Academic writing frequently uses nominalisations; that is, the noun forms of verbs. (动词的名词形式)
The process of nominalisation turns verbs (actions or events) into nouns (things, concepts or people). (把动词变成名词)
重点:简单归纳 能用名词的动词则以名词用法为主
例子如下:
例子 Companies (subject) enter (verb) different markets to increase (verb) their revenues.
学术表达如下:Companies looking for an increase ( noun) in revenues become new entrants (noun) in different markets
回应雅思话题: 题目- the quality of life in large cities is increasing.
正式表达:The increase of living quality has become increasingly common.
回应雅思话题2:in many parts of the world, crime is increasing rapidly among teenagers and the public is becoming concerned
正式表达:the rapid increase in crime among teenagers has caused concern among the public.
简单总结如下:一个动词如果决定了一句话核心逻辑 把它用作名词或名词短语 (也就是说一篇好的文章,动词越少越好)
以下列出了一些常用的口语词用法和写作用法及区别:
Spoken English Formal Written English
Verb - to increase noun - an increase

总结:当然这只是其中一种学术表达的体现在论文中,也同时为了出国后的学期论文如何呈现学术表达做了一些基础。
