复杂句不等于长难句，先回顾写作的第四个评分标准

Grammatical range and accuracy，里面明确规定7分的要求是 "uses a variety of complex structures（各式各样的复杂句）;produces frequent error-free sentence（几乎零语病）; has good control of grammar（语法掌握得好）and punctuation but may make a few errors. "

这就意味着我们需要使用复杂句，但不是使句子变成长难句，因为由长难句而引发的大量的语法错误会导致明显失分。下面是一个反例。

"In contemporary society, the development of motorways is one of the most controversial topics causing negative effects on the environment and also positive effects on people arising from its development such as relying on motorways to travel long distances for speed and efficiency. "

点评：

这就是一个典型的"过分复杂的"句子，此句包含四个观点且糅合在一个句子里，这就好比四个灵魂挤进一个躯体，表达效果自然是笨拙的、不连贯的。

其实复杂的句子远非烤鸭们想象中复杂，不过是通过使用逻辑连接词将一些细化后的简单句巧妙地组合在一起而已。

上述的句子可以拆成四个简单句：

1. The development of motorways is a controversial topic in contemporary society.

2. The development of motorways has negative effects on the environment.

3. There are also benefits associated with negative effects.

4. People rely on motorways to travel long distances for speed and efficiency.

接下来把这四个简单句有机地串起来:

Many people in the world rely on motorways for speed and efficiency, as it is a very convenient way to travel long distances. However, motorways also have negative effects such as damage to the environment.

不难发现通过使用连接词组合后的句子语法准确，表意清晰而且易于理解。

复杂句=复合句

复合句: 名词性从句、定语从句和状语从句

e.g. When choosing a job, the salary is the most important consideration. To what extent do you agree or disagree?（以开头段为例）

以上就是轻松搞定复杂句的技能了，小伙们，如此简单易学的技巧，你们get到了吗？
