1.表述顺序的词
流程图从它的名字就可以看出, 整个图形是强调某种事物的形成过程。 因此在流程图中, 顺序词很重要, 它们是衔接整篇文章的框架的核心。这里和大家介绍下, 在流程写作中可以用到的顺序性词汇:
a.The process starts from doing…
b.Doing …is the first step/ stage / phase.
c.At the beginning of …
d.At the first/initial stage, + 句子 – at the packaging stage, + 句子
此处的at the packaging stage实际为at the first stage的变形, 通过用packaging来代替firstly,使得对阶段的描述更加精准。
e.Next/after that/ followed by/ before +doing
f.The life cycle begins again.
4把简单句变为复杂句的方法
很多考生反馈在流程写作过程中, 全部都是流水账, 句子过于简单没有变化。 但如果掌握了以下的两种方法的话, 可以轻松把两个简单句改为高级句式:
a. 分词结构(before +doing)
(1)Powder is placed on the conveyor belt.
(2) Powder is ground by the grinder.
Power is placed on the conveyor belt, before being ground by the grinder.
b. 状语从句(once, until)
Ingredients are rotated in the concrete mixer, until they are turned into concrete.
Once ingredients are rotated in the concrete mixer, they are turned into concrete.
