英语写作当中经常会用到“……很重要”这一句式，一般考生会用something be important/essential的词汇表达。不过学了比较状语从句以后，大家可以试着用一种更高级的表达方式，一定会让阅卷老师眼前一亮，

作文

箴言仿写：cultivation is to the mind what food is to the body.

——m·t·cicero

上述句子可以概括为a is to b what c is to d.替换abcd四个名词就可以用来表达“重要性”这一概念。

【例句】

★ 人生态度——乐观与悲观

a positive attitude is to life what the sun is to the earth.积极的态度对于生活，好比太阳对于地球一样。

★ 谈读书

reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.阅读对于思想，好比运动对于身体一样。

★ 赡养父母——家庭

family is to the people what life is to the inspanidual.家庭对于人类，好比生活对于个人一样。

★ 投诉信

cleanness is to the canteen what reputation is to the people.清洁对于食堂来说，好比名誉对于人一样。

★ 谈诚信

honesty is to the people what life is to the creature.诚信对于人来说，好比生命对于人一样。

比较状语(倍数表达法)：

a+ be+倍数+as many/much as+ b

a+ be+倍数+the amount+ b

a+ be+倍数+what it was+ b

【例句】

★ 从1999年到2009年，奢侈品的销售增长了3倍。

①the sale of luxuries doubled from the end of 1999 to 2009.

②the sale of luxuries increased three times/three-fold from the end of 1999 to 2009.

③a three-fold increase was seen in the sale of luxuries from the end of 1999 to 2009.
