很多人都强调用连词、介词等词汇手段迅速提高语言水平。但这种方法需要一定的积累。而通过对低级句型的改造，可以迅速达到这一目的。
强调句：可以轻松地将时间、地点、原因、方式等类型状语从句转变为强调时间的强调句。
It was not until I arrived home that I realized I had left the bag on the shop counter.
倒装句：只要句中有介词短语或状语从句，便可将其提前，变成倒装句。
Only when I turned right at the crossing did that car crack towards me.
Only by this means can he escape from the big fire.
with引导的伴随结构：可以将状语从句或并列句中的其中一个分句变成with结构。

巧妙地使用非谓语动词：可以将状语从句或并列的动词简化为非谓语动词。
Hearing that, the drivers wife quickly added that her husband often talked nonsense after drinking.
恰到好处的被动句：适合应用于较简短的句子，这样显得语言简洁生动，宾语一般是nothing、anything、everything等不定代词。
I searched all my pockets, but nothing was found.
感叹句：通常用于开头结尾活跃文章气氛，凡是I feel 之类表达感情的句子皆可如此改造。

高级定语从句：若定语从句中的动词带有介词，只需将介词移至先行词后。

进行时态：有时会含有一定情绪，尤其要使用always这样的富含感情色彩的副词。
●婉转表达：需要使用幽默的技巧，主要用于漫画型作文题。
I could find nothing but bad luck when I returned the shop after learning that my handbag had been left on the counter.
what引导的名词性从句：将动宾结构转化为此结构。

数词+名词变为as many as+数词+名词
As many as ten years ago, my hometown used to be covered by forests.
适当加一些不关痛痒的插入语：一些连词、副词可以放到句子中间充当语气较弱的插入语，如I guess、however、in a way、certainly、in my opinion、probably、briefly等，有时可以考虑几个插入语连用，就更像英美人士的文章了。
独立主格：将主从句去掉连词，前句动词变为分词即可。
The weather being fine, a large number of people went to climb the Western Hills.
