每年高考后，就英語單科成績而言，許多考生預估的分數和實際成績有很大的出入，有的估分過高，有的過低，其中一個主要的原因就是對作文的估分不準。主觀題作文之所以估分不準，一則是因為平時老師閱卷原則性不強，隨意給分，二則是因為學生平常訓練不到位，沒有注意如何才能提升自己的英語作文檔次。
根據近年來高考評分標準的五個檔次中第五檔（很好，21~25分）中的“應用了較多的語法結構”和“語法結構有些許錯誤，但為盡力使用復雜結構所致”，可見，在學生掌握了五種基本句式之后，鼓勵學生嘗試一些復雜的語法結構，巧用過渡性詞語是非常重要的，其中補述技巧就是高考寫作最重要的技巧之一。
補述分為并列補述和后位補述兩種。補述的特點是既可以使語言連貫，又可以收到簡練、生動的效果，有時又能適時地表現當事人內心的思想活動，好處多多，寫作必備。例如：
Li Ming and I took part in a wilderness survival problem yesterday, and it has been one of the most unforgettable experiences since high school.
It was quite an experience for us both, which I will never forget for the rest of my life.
補述常用于事實表述后的情感感受，引發感想或對事實、細節補充的場合。并列補述常用并列連詞and，后位補述常用分詞短語作狀語，which 引出非限定性定語從句，以及由with引導的復合結構等。
一、并列補述
1、要點：上午學?；顒?，下午游覽市區。
I know the school will organize a lot of things for you to do in the morning but in the afternoon, I will show you around and take you to some places of interest.
2、要點：大約4點離開。
Around four o’clock, we said goodbye to one another, and felt very happy on the way home.
3、要點：昨天我和李華參加了野外生存訓練。
Li Hua and I took pant in a wilderness survival program yesterday, and it has been one of the most unforgettable experiences since high school.
二、后位補述
1、分詞短語作狀語。用分詞短語作狀語，文字較為精練。如要點：晚上看電視、玩游戲、聊天。
We will mostly stay at home in the evening watching TV, playing games, and meeting people.
再如：Uncle bathed and had dinner, giving everyone the impression that there was no danger at all.
2、非限定性定語從句
The flat is in a building on WanXi Street, which is not far from No.2 Middle School.
At 8 o’clock in the morning, we arrived at the 201 bus station, where we were warmly welcomed by the drivers and conductors.
I bought several apples, which were very cheap.
They gave up the plan, which (=though it ) was a very good one.
3、with引導的復合結構
My brother was riding with me sitting on the seat behind.（該結構的情景描述功能十分突出）
再如： Mr Li came in with a lot of books in his arms.
作文中補述的技巧不難掌握，主要在于平時閱讀時多留意以及作文時的適時應用，一篇習作里如果有幾處類似上述的高級語法結構，這勢必會讓閱讀老師心動，提高得分檔次。
