托福写作不能犯的错误(1)
英语课
1.结构不平行 例:I was 1 able 2 to raise 3 my TOEFL score 4 by studying hard and I read lots of books. 当使用连词将一系列的单词联接起来的时候,应当使用词性相同或同一类型的短语。
2.不知所云 例:Many companies 5 began using computers mouth.
3.段落过长,不分段,主语与动词一致问题 She are a good friend of mine that I has known 6 for a long time. 主语和动词在数方面不一致。
4.句子别扭 We heated 7 the soup in the microwave 8 for too long and the shape of the container 9 changed. 措辞过长或不清。换言之,句子显得滑稽可笑。
5.不要使用缩写 在正式的写作中不要使用缩写形式(can"t,don"t,it"s,we"ll,they"ve等等) ,而应当使用单词的完整形式 (cannot,do not,it is,we will,they have等等)。
6.关联词语重复 Since 10 I want to go to a good school,therefore I am trying to raise my test scores 11. 不能在该句的主要主语和主要动词前使用连词。
7.句子不完整 Many students have a hard time passing all the tests to get into college 12. For example, my friend in high school. 句子没有主要主语或主要动词,因为其实它应是一个从句。这是一个非常常见的错误,修改的方法是将两个句子连接起来。
8.不要使用get When I got 13 home, I got tired, so I got a book and got into bed. Get太不正式,意思也过于含糊,不适合用在正式的场合。应将get改为一个更加具体的单词,如become, receive 14, find, achieve 15, 等等。
9.书写难以辨认,信息不正确 I would 16 like to study in America because all modern 17 technology 18 originated 19 there. 传的信息不正确,或者让人听起来觉得可能不正确(如果确实是正确的,应当解释为什么这样,因为读者不认为是正确的)。上述例句中,all的意思是百分之百;我们不能绝对地说每一件新东西都是从美国诞生的。为保险起见,应当使用many或most。非英语单词Computers are very helpful 20 and advantageable. 尽管看起来象个单词,其实不是,至少不是个英文单词。使用这个单词的另一种形式。
10.介词多余 I would like to discuss 21 about something important 22 that you mentioned 23 about to me during 24 yesterday. We went to downtown 25 yesterday to buy a watch. When I first came 26 to the US, I did 27 not have a lot of friends in here. In class, my classmate never mentioned about her husband 28. 在表示这种意思时此单词不能与介词连用。这种情况常见于downtown,home,there,here等词。这些词语在英语中是副词而非名词,因而不能在它们前面添加介词。
11.跑题或不相关 There are many reasons 29 to buy a car, preferably a nice car. 这个意思与文章的主题无关。
12.陈词滥调 It is okay 30 for children to fail 31 sometimes. 所表达的意思很普通 大多数人都已经知道到了,因而就没有必要再说出来。
