三、句式有变化

初学英语写作的同志,由于对英语写作没有信心,通常不敢大胆地使用自己已常握的语言基础知识,包括英语句式知识。结果,作文里出现的基本都是以主、谓、宾句式为主的简单句子,文章因而显得刻板、不活泼。

      possible only when food is converted into energy.

    2. The change in the hair coats is usually complete by September

      and maximum hair depths are reached byNovember or December when the weather becomes cold.
