单调而枯燥的语句在写作中总是不容易获得高分，尤其是在新托福这类出国类考试中。如何写出具有层次感和节奏感的出彩作文呢？英语句子的结构可以千变万化，今天朗阁海外考试研究中心写作组专家将结合多年的教学经验，为考生讲述：如何运用技巧写出一篇极具亮点的好作文。
一变短句为长句
短句充斥着新托福的写作考试，尤其中国考生特别喜欢和容易使用短句来应试，但新托福的写作要求句型要有一定的复杂性。因此，在这种情况下，考生就不得不需要对某些短句进行拉长，借此来向阅卷者展示自己对于复杂语言结构的掌控能力。
名词+形容词+同位语+定语从句
短句拉长的心法｛
动词+状语（时间，地点，目的，方式等）
接下来我们就来具体看几个例子：
1. Governments have built new roads.
短句拉长步骤：
1). 在句首加上时间状语in the past two years;
2). 在名词governments前面加上responsible等形容词来修饰它；
3). 在名词roads后面加上定语从句which have brought much convenience to the local citizens.
变化后的句子为：
In the past two years, responsible governments have built a great number of new roads which have brought much convenience to the local citizens.
2. Factories have discharged gases and liquids.
短句拉长步骤：
1). 在名词factories前面加上两个形容词newly-built和chemical
2). 在名词gases and liquids后面加上一个定语从句which have had a seriously negative impact on the surrounding environment.
变化后的句子为：
The newly-built chemical factories have discharged harmful and even poisonous gases and liquids which have had a seriously negative impact on the surrounding environment.
二变非主语成分开头的句子
多使用非主语成分开头的句子不但能使写作句式多样化，而且也能有效地向阅卷者展示考生的写作技能。比如：
1. 动名词：Cheating on tests repeatedly invites self-defeat.
2. 过去分词：Forgotten on the desk was her favorite i-phone.
3. 名词性从句：What was needed in reality was not
