笔者多次参加过高考作文评卷工作，在评卷的过程中，发现许多考生在表达方面用了较多的简单句，句型单调，缺乏连贯，毫无亮点。当然，至于运用什么样的句式，我们建议考生要量力而行。其实，只要考生在平时稍加留意，在熟练掌握简单句的基础上，巧妙地将同位语、介词短语、分词短语等融入其中，不但可以丰富表达，也令内容精彩迭出，从而让简单句不再“简单”。以下是让简单句变“高级”的常用手段：
1. 将同位语嵌入简单句中
同位语的功能是对前面的名词或代词进行解释说明。可用同位语来合并两个相关的简单句，让句子结构简单明了。如：
Li Ming is our monitor. He is helpful as well as responsible.
→ Li Ming， our monitor， is helpful as well as responsible.
同时，含有定语从句的复合句，其实用含有同位语的简单句来表达，更简洁。如：
The other day I met Tom， who is my former classmate.
→ The other day I met Tom， my former classmate.
2. 将介词短语巧置简单句句首
The boy is honest as well as modest.
→Apart from being honest， the boy is modest as well.
They chose to go out shopping rather than stay at home watching TV.
→ Rather than stay at home watching TV， they chose to go out shopping.
We have so much work to complete. We can’t relax ourselves this weekend.
→With so much work to complete， we can’t relax ourselves this weekend.
3. 将分词短语揉入简单句中
He was lost in thought. He nearly bumped into a wall in front of him.
→Lost in thought， he nearly bumped into a wall in front of him.
She buried herself in an amusing book. She was unaware of what was happening around her.
→Burying herself in an amusing book， she was unaware of what was happening around her.
→Buried in an amusing book， she was unaware of what was happening around her.
4. 将形容词（短语）插入简单句中
形容词（短语）置于句首，可以充当原因状语。如：
The speaker was nervous. He was unable to utter a word on the stage.
→Nervous， the speaker was unable to utter a word on the stage.
此外，形容词（短语）还可以充当主语补足语，往往置于句末，用以补充说明主语的状态（注：也有人认为形容词在此充当伴随状语）。如：
They arrived home late. They were tired and hungry.
→ They arrived home late， tired and hungry.
5. 将插入语融入简单句中
有时，为了强调说话者的态度，可使用插入语。插入语可以是一个短语或句子，位置也比较灵活。如：
Without doubt， our team is bound to defeat theirs.
She， I suppose， is kind of shy.
You’re one of the most popular teachers in our school， to be honest with you.
除了上述提到的五种常用的手段外，其实，把简单句进行以下的“改装”，同样可以取得意想不到的效果。
6. 换成感叹句
The graduation ceremony is pretty memorable and unforgettable.
→How memorable and unforgettable the graduation ceremony is！
Mr. Wang is an extremely hard-working and easy-going teacher.
→What a hard-working and easy-going teacher Mr. Wang is！
7. 妙用倒装句
A small garden is in front of the house. →In front of the house is a small garden.
I realized my mistake at that moment.
→ Only at that moment did I realize my mistake.
I will always keep your practical suggestions in mind.
→ Never shall I forget your practical suggestions！
8. 善用强调句
Our parents took great pains to bring us up.
→It is our parents who took great pains to bring us up.
The dirty water accounted for the illness of many people.
→ It was the dirty water that accounted for the illness of many people.
9. 巧用省略句
Are you free these days？ Please pay me a visit.
→Please pay me a visit when / if free these days.
Mr. Chen is in his eighties. He is still in good health.
→Though in his eighties， Mr. Chen is in good health.
