  关于托福作文批改我们先举两个托福写作里常见的需要避免的形容词


  新托福写作中我们很喜欢用Important这个词,但问题是important 的意思范围太大,以至于如果老板交代任务的时候说“this is important”很难引起员工的重视。我们可以换一些更加具体的“重要”,来表达不同场景下不同级别的重要。比如我们想说honesty is important to friendship.可以换成honesty is vital to friendship. 当然也可以换成句子,比如honesty is to friendship as what wheels to carts.
  Your English is good. 如果一个老外这样跟你说,千万不要觉得自己英语就真的很好。相反,你需要反思自己的不足之处,因为如果真的很好他会说:“are your born in America”. 区别就在于后者更加具体,而前者很含糊,不够具体。我们以后再看到自己的作文中出现Good这样的词,是不是可以考虑一下换成更具体的表达?就像上面的例子那样,这种更换不一定是词换词,也可以是词换句子。比如当我们写到I found myself a good job. 就可以改成很多更好的版本,比如well-paid job, satisfying job, a job with friendly working environment…
  ——独立任务做得还不错,因为跟以往的考试都很类似,也很适应。但是时间的限制却令人异常紧张,不知所措。想好的内容由于时间限制,心情紧张都跑到了九霄云外。更悲剧的是综合任务又要听,又要读,在那么短的时间里总结归纳再输出,真的是乱花渐欲迷人眼。
  我们来看一个学生写的一小段:
  ——I felt very angry and worried about being late for work. Then I asked my neighbor to move his can as soon as possible in an impolite way.
  ——结合上次动词具体化的要求,这里同学们需要觉得“扎眼”的地方有:angry, ask, impolite.
  改一下
  ——I yelled (angry) at him, warning (ask) that if his car is not moved, I would scratch a “fool” on his car (impolite).
  托福写作的改进的方法
  积累足够多的形容词,辨析他们之间的不同,vocabulary.com是个很棒的网站。里面有近义词的辨析。比如significant, vital, crucial, critical, indispensable都是重要,那具体有什么区别呢?
  不要放过英语场景,那是学习形容词准确意思的非常好的机会。比如某期美国好声音里shakira在形容一个歌手声音的时候用的词是otherworldly,那么因为我们实际的听到了那个声音,所有会真正的理解在老外眼里什么声音是“空灵的”。
  在写作过程中觉得有个词不好,又没有积累的情况下,可以找相关的可能出现这个词的英语场景。比如我写了a good job, 但是不知道还能用什么词来替代good, 那我认为在wikipedia上搜索“the pursuit of happiness”《当幸福来敲门》应该会找到答案。
