1. Sentence Structure Formulas | 句子结构公式
Simple Sentence = Subject + Verb (+ Object)
A simple sentence contains one independent clause. It expresses a single complete thought and must have a subject and a finite verb.
简单句 = 主语 + 谓语动词（+ 宾语）
简单句包含一个独立分句。它表达一个完整的单一思想，且必须拥有主语和限定动词。
Compound Sentence = Independent Clause + , coordinating conjunction + Independent Clause
Use coordinating conjunctions (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) to join two ideas of equal weight. The comma before the conjunction is essential when both clauses are independent.
并列复合句 = 独立分句 + ，并列连词 + 独立分句
使用并列连词（for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so）连接两个同等重要的思想。两个分句均为独立分句时，连词前的逗号必不可少。
Complex Sentence = Independent Clause + subordinating conjunction + Dependent Clause
A complex sentence shows a relationship such as cause, condition or time. The dependent clause cannot stand alone. Common subordinators: because, although, if, when, since, while.
复杂句 = 独立分句 + 从属连词 + 从属分句
复杂句展示因果、条件或时间等关系。从属分句不能独立成句。常用从属连词：because, although, if, when, since, while。
2. Punctuation Theorems | 标点定理
Comma Before Coordinating Conjunction Theorem: When joining two independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction, place a comma immediately before the conjunction. Example: 'The rain stopped, and the sun emerged.'
并列连词前逗号定理：用并列连词连接两个独立分句时，在连词前直接加逗号。示例：“The rain stopped, and the sun emerged.”
Semicolon Link Theorem: Use a semicolon to connect two closely related independent clauses without a conjunction. The second clause often explains or contrasts with the first. Example: 'She loves books; her library fills an entire room.'
分号连接定理：使用分号连接两个紧密相关的独立分句，无需连词。后一分句通常解释或对比前一分句。示例：“She loves books; her library fills an entire room.”
Colon Introduction Theorem: A colon introduces a list, a quotation, or an explanation that directly follows from the first clause. The part before the colon must be a complete independent clause. Example: ‘He had one passion: vintage motorcycles.’
冒号引入定理：冒号引入清单、引语或直接承接前文解释的内容。冒号前的部分必须是完整的独立分句。示例：“He had one passion: vintage motorcycles.”
Apostrophe for Possession and Contraction Theorem: dents’ essays). In contractions, the apostrophe replaces omitted letters (do not → don’t).
所有格与缩写的撇号定理：单数所有格加’s（student’s essay）；以 s 结尾的复数所有格只加撇号（students’ essays）。缩写中撇号替代省略的字母（do not → don’t）。
3. Figurative Language Equations | 修辞手法方程
Simile = A is like B (using 'like' or 'as')
A simile creates a direct comparison to make a description more vivid. Example: 'Her smile was as bright as the sun.'
明喻 = A 像 B（使用“like”或“as”）
明喻直接比较，使描写更生动。示例：“Her smile was as bright as the sun.”
Metaphor = A is B (state identity between unlike things)
A metaphor asserts that one thing is another, carrying connotations without 'like' or 'as'. Example: 'Time is a thief.'
暗喻 = A 是 B（在本质上不同的事物之间声明同一性）
暗喻断言一事物是另一事物，无需“like”或“as”而传递内涵。示例：“Time is a thief.”
Personification = non-human entity + human trait/action
Giving human qualities to objects, animals, or ideas. Example: 'The wind whispered through the trees.'
拟人 = 非人实体 + 人类特质/行为
赋予物体、动物或观念以人类品质。示例：“The wind whispered through the trees.”
Hyperbole = extreme exaggeration for effect
An overstatement that should not be taken literally. Example: 'I’ve told you a million times.'
夸张 = 极尽夸大的表达以达到效果
一种不应按字面理解的夸大。示例：“I’ve told you a million times.”
Oxymoron = two contradictory terms placed together
Creates a surprising or thought-provoking effect. Example: 'deafening silence', 'bittersweet'.
矛盾修饰法 = 两个矛盾词语并列
产生令人惊讶或引人深思的效果。示例：“deafening silence”、“bittersweet”。
4. Persuasive Writing Formula: A FOREST | 说服性写作公式：A FOREST
A = Alliteration – repeating the same initial consonant sound makes phrases catchy and memorable. ‘Cruel, callous, and calculating.’
A = 头韵 – 重复相同的首辅音使短语朗朗上口、难忘。“Cruel, callous, and calculating.”
F = Facts – use verifiable statements to build credibility. ‘Over 60% of students reported improved grades.’
F = 事实 – 采用可验证的说法建立可信度。“Over 60% of students reported improved grades.”
O = Opinions – express personal or expert views to persuade. ‘As a leading scientist, I believe this is urgent.’
O = 观点 – 表达个人或专家见解以说服他人。“As a leading scientist, I believe this is urgent.”
R = Rhetorical questions – questions posed for effect, not requiring an answer. ‘Who wouldn’t want a cleaner world?’
R = 反问/修辞性问句 – 为达到效果而提问，不要求回答。“Who wouldn’t want a cleaner world?”
E = Emotive language – words chosen to stir feelings: joy, pity, fear, anger. ‘Innocent children are suffering.’
E = 情感性语言 – 选用能唤起喜悦、同情、恐惧、愤怒等感受的词语。“Innocent children are suffering.”
S = Statistics – numbers and data to give a sense of scale and authority. ‘9 out of 10 doctors recommend it.’
S = 统计数据 – 数字与数据赋予规模感和权威性。“9 out of 10 doctors recommend it.”
T = Triples (Rule of three) – listing three items or phrases for rhythm and emphasis. ‘Blood, sweat, and tears.’
T = 三项列举（三的原则） – 列举三项以产生节奏和强调。“Blood, sweat, and tears.”
5. Descriptive Writing Sensory Formula | 描述性写作感官公式
Vivid Description = Sight + Sound + Smell + Touch + Taste + Emotion
Engage multiple senses to immerse the reader. For each key moment in a description, ask: What can be seen, heard, smelled, felt (texture/temperature), tasted, and what is the emotional atmosphere?
生动描述 = 视觉 + 听觉 + 嗅觉 + 触觉 + 味觉 + 情感
调动多种感官让读者沉浸其中。在描述每一个关键瞬间时，问自己：可以看到什么、听到什么、闻到什么、触摸到什么（质地/温度）、尝到什么，情感氛围如何？
Show, Don’t Tell Theorem: Instead of stating an emotion directly, reveal it through sensory details and actions. ‘She was nervous’ becomes ‘Her hands trembled as she crumpled the paper; her throat tightened, and she tasted salt on her lips.’
展示而勿直述定理：不要直接陈述情感，而要通过感官细节和行动来揭示。“She was nervous”变成“Her hands trembled as she crumpled the paper; her throat tightened, and she tasted salt on her lips.”
6. Paragraph Structure Theorem: PEE / PEEL | 段落结构定理：PEE/PEEL
P = Point – a clear topic sentence stating the main idea of the paragraph. It should answer the question or advance your argument.
P = 论点 – 清晰的主题句，陈述段落的主要观点。它应回答问题或推进论证。
E = Evidence – a quotation, example, or specific detail from the text or context. Always embed quotations smoothly.
E = 证据 – 来自文本或语境的引文、示例或具体细节。始终顺畅地嵌入引文。
E = Explanation – analyse the evidence: what does it show? How does language/structure create effect? Why is it significant?
E = 解释 – 分析证据：它表明了什么？语言/结构如何创造效果？为什么重要？
L = Link (optional but powerful) – connect your paragraph to the next idea or back to the overall argument. Use linking phrases such as ‘This further suggests that...’ or ‘In contrast...’
L = 衔接（可选但有力） – 将本段与下一个想法或全文论点连接。使用衔接短语，如“This further suggests that...”或“In contrast...”。
7. Subject-Verb Agreement Theorem | 主谓一致定理
Basic Agreement Formula: Singular subject + singular verb (usually verb + s/es in present tense). Plural subject + plural verb (no s/es). Exception: irregular verbs (e.g. he goes, they go).
基本一致公式：单数主语 + 单数动词（现在时常为动词 + s/es）。复数主语 + 复数动词（不加 s/es）。例外：不规则动词（如 he goes，they go）。
Indefinite Pronoun Theorem: Words like everyone, somebody, each, nobody are singular and take a singular verb. ‘Everyone is ready.’ Words like both, few, several, many are plural. ‘Few were prepared.’
不定代词定理：everyone、somebody、each、nobody 等词为单数，接单数动词。“Everyone is ready.” both、few、several、many 为复数。“Few were prepared.”
Compound Subject Theorem: Subjects joined by ‘and’ usually take a plural verb. ‘Tom and Jerry are friends.’ Subjects joined by ‘or’ or ‘nor’ agree with the subject nearest to the verb. ‘Neither the teacher nor the students were surprised.’
复合主语定理：由“and”连接的主语通常接复数动词。“Tom and Jerry are friends.” 由“or”或“nor”连接的主语，动词与最靠近的主语一致。“Neither the teacher nor the students were surprised.”
8. Tone and Diction Formulas | 语气与用词公式
Formal Tone Formula: No contractions (use 'do not' instead of 'don’t'), formal vocabulary, complex sentence structures, passive voice where appropriate, avoidance of slang. Used in academic essays, reports, formal letters.
正式语气公式：无缩写（使用 do not 而非 don’t），正式词汇，复杂句式，适当使用被动语态，避免俚语。用于学术论文、报告、正式信函。
Informal Tone Formula: Contractions, colloquial language, simple and compound sentences, active voice, personal pronouns. Suitable for speech, personal writing, informal articles.
非正式语气公式：使用缩写、口语化语言、简单句和并列复合句、主动语态、人称代词。适用于演讲、个人写作、非正式文章。
Emotive Diction Theorem: The writer’s word choice directly shapes tone. Words with positive connotations (thriving, radiant) create an uplifting tone; words with negative connotations (decaying, gloomy) establish a sombre tone. Analyse diction by asking: ‘What would change if a synonym were used?’
用词情感定理：作者的选词直接塑造语调。具有积极内涵的词语（thriving，radiant）营造振奋语调；具有消极内涵的词语（decaying，gloomy）确立阴沉语调。分析用词时问：“如果换成同义词会有什么变化？”
9. Narrative Perspectives Theorem | 叙事视角定理
First Person = I / we – the narrator is a character within the story. Offers intimacy but limits the reader to one perspective and knowledge. Look for pronouns 'I', 'me', 'my', 'we', 'our'.
第一人称 = 我/我们 – 叙述者是故事中的角色。提供亲切感，但将读者限制于单一视角和认知。寻找代词“I”、“me”、“my”、“we”、“our”。
Second Person = you – addresses the reader directly, making them a character. Often used in instructional writing or immersive fiction. Creates a feeling of involvement.
第二人称 = 你 – 直接称呼读者，使其成为角色。常用于指导性写作或沉浸式小说。营造参与感。
Third Person Limited = he / she / they, limited to one character’s thoughts – the narrator is outside the story but reveals the inner thoughts of only one character. Creates suspense and asks readers to infer other characters’ feelings.
第三人称有限视角 = 他/她/他们，仅限于一个角色的思想 – 叙述者在故事之外，但只透露一个角色的内心想法。制造悬念，要求读者推断其他角色的感受。
Third Person Omniscient = all characters’ thoughts accessible – an all-knowing narrator who can enter any mind. Gives a panoramic view and can provide direct commentary.
第三人称全知视角 = 可进入所有角色的思想 – 全知的叙述者，可进入任何角色内心。提供全景视野，并能直接评论。
10. Cohesion and Coherence Formulas | 衔接与连贯公式
Discourse Marker Theorem: Use linking words and phrases to guide the reader. Addition: furthermore, moreover. Contrast: however, on the other hand. Cause/effect: therefore, consequently. Time/sequence: meanwhile, subsequently.
语篇标记定理：使用连接词和短语引导读者。递进：furthermore、moreover。对比：however、on the other hand。因果：therefore、consequently。时间/顺序：meanwhile、subsequently。
Pronoun Reference Theorem: r : Use pronouns to refer back to previously mentioned nouns, avoiding repetition. Ensure the antecedent is clear. ‘The experiment was repeated. It yielded consistent results.’ (It = the experiment).
代词指代定理：使用代词回指前文名词，避免重复。确保先行词清晰。“The experiment was repeated. It yielded consistent results.”（It = the experiment）。
Lexical Cohesion Formula: Repeat key terms or use synonyms/hyponyms to maintain focus on the topic. ‘ species. This biodiversity is under threat.’ Rainforest → biodiversity (related concept).
词汇衔接公式：重复关键词或使用同义词/上下义词以保持对主题的关注。“The rainforest is home to many species. This biodiversity is under threat.” Rainforest → biodiversity（相关概念）。
Paragraph Linking Theorem: Start a new paragraph with a phrase that echoes the idea from the end of the previous paragraph. ‘This brutality was not isolated. Similar violence spread across the region.’
段落衔接定理：新段落开头用短语呼应上一段结尾的思想。“This brutality was not isolated. Similar violence spread across the region.”
