托福寫作對考生的書面語言應(yīng)用能力提出了很高要求,想要寫好一篇托福作文,我們需要有邏輯縝密的行文結(jié)構(gòu),需要有匠心獨(dú)具的視角,更重要的是爐火純青的遣詞造句,和出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)小編一起來看看托福寫作常見錯(cuò)誤有哪些。
1. 用詞錯(cuò)誤
eg: Even I don't speak Spanish, I was able to find a bathroom in the department store. I gained a lot of pounds during vacation.
用詞錯(cuò)誤或在此種情況下該詞不是最佳用詞。
2. 使用詞性或類型不同的短語
eg: I was able to raise my TOEFL score by studying hard and I read lots of books.
結(jié)構(gòu)不平行,當(dāng)使用連詞將一系列的單詞聯(lián)接起來的時(shí)候,應(yīng)當(dāng)使用詞性相同或同一類型的短語。
3. 主語與動(dòng)詞不一致問題
eg: She are a good friend of mine that I has known for a long time.
主語和動(dòng)詞在數(shù)量方面不一致。
4. 措辭過長或不清的問題
eg: We heated the soup in the microwave for too long and the shape of the container changed.
句子別扭,措辭過長或不清。換言之,句子顯得滑稽可笑。
5. 使用縮寫
在正式的寫作中不要使用縮寫形式 (can't, don't, it's, we'll, they've 等等) ,而應(yīng)當(dāng)使用單詞的完整形式 (cannot, do not,it is,we will,they have 等等)。
6. 在該句的主要主語和主要?jiǎng)釉~前使用連詞
eg: Since I want to go to a good school, therefore I am trying to raise my test scores
關(guān)聯(lián)詞語重復(fù),不能在該句的主要主語和主要?jiǎng)釉~前使用連詞。
7. 沒有將兩個(gè)從句連接起來
eg: Many students have a hard time passing all the tests to get into college. For example, my friend in high school.
句子不完整,沒有主要主語或主要?jiǎng)釉~,因?yàn)槠鋵?shí)它應(yīng)是一個(gè)從句。這是一個(gè)非常常見的錯(cuò)誤,修改的方法是將兩個(gè)句子連接起來。
8. 錯(cuò)誤使用get
eg: When I got home, I got tired, so I got a book and got into bed.
Get太不正式,意思也過于含糊,不適合用在正式的場合。 應(yīng)將get改為一個(gè)更加具體的單詞,如become, receive, find, achieve, etc.
9. 書寫難以辨認(rèn),信息不正確的問題
eg: I would like to study in America because all modern technology originated there.
傳達(dá)的信息不正確,或者讓人聽起來覺得可能不正確(如果確實(shí)是正確的,應(yīng)當(dāng)解釋為什么這樣,因?yàn)樽x者認(rèn)為是不正確的)。例句中,all的意思是百分之百;我們不能絕對地說每一件新東西都是從美國誕生的。為保險(xiǎn)起見,應(yīng)當(dāng)使用many或most.
10. 介詞多余的問題
eg: I would like to discuss about something important that you mentioned about to me during yesterday. We went to downtown yesterday to buy a watch. When I first came to the US, I did not have a lot of friends in here. In class, my classmate never mentioned about her husband.
在表示這種意思時(shí)此單詞不能與介詞連用。這種情況常見于downtown,home, there,here等詞。這些詞語在英語中是副詞而非名詞,因而不能在它們前面添加介詞。
11. 跑題或不相關(guān)的問題
eg: There are many reasons to buy a car, preferably a nice car.
這個(gè)意思與文章的主題無關(guān)。
12. 陳詞濫調(diào)
eg: It is okay for children to fail sometimes.
所表達(dá)的意思很普通 大多數(shù)人都已經(jīng)知道到了,因而就沒有必要再說出來。
13. 標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)使用問題
eg: I love animals. And I like to help them. Because they are helpless. So I want to become a vet.
這是一個(gè)非常普遍的問題!許多學(xué)生在句子中使用了太多的句號(hào),尤其是用手寫的時(shí)候。
14. 重復(fù)冗余
eg: Personally, I believe what the newspaper prints.
一種意思的表述不止一次,或者某個(gè)詞語不必要。
15. 單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞單獨(dú)使用
單數(shù) / 復(fù)數(shù) Many year ago, dinosaur roamed the Earths. 單詞需要從單數(shù)變?yōu)閺?fù)數(shù),或者由復(fù)數(shù)變成單數(shù)。單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞不能單獨(dú)使用,應(yīng)該將其變?yōu)閺?fù)數(shù)形式或者加上限定詞 (a, the, my, his, her, Gary's, no, any, 1, 3, 50, most, etc)。
16. 缺少主語、動(dòng)詞或賓語等問題
eg: I want to buy something for my mother that she will like it. There was a terrible accident happen yesterday.
句子的基本結(jié)構(gòu)有問題,缺少主語、動(dòng)詞或賓語,或者這些成分重復(fù)。
17. 語氣與文章不符
eg: I was kind of mad at the guy who vociferated angry words at me. I have heard many wonderful things about such cosmopolitan cities as Paris, London, Tokyo, and Hong Kong and I would love to visit these cities to check them out.
語氣與文章其他部分不相符,可能是過于正式或者太不正式。
18. 代詞指代不明確
eg: If people do not speak the same language, it has a greater chance of miscommunication. I intend to complete my studies in the United States because they have good programs there.
代詞所指代的 指示詞(介詞所代替的名詞)不清楚。
19. 過于籠統(tǒng)
eg: We should use our resources on Earth because the Earth is getting worse.
句子所表達(dá)的意思過于籠統(tǒng),不能提供多少信息。
20. 動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)不正確
eg: Yesterday I will go to the store because tomorrow I needed some food.
動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)不正確,檢查一下是應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在時(shí)、過去時(shí)、將來時(shí)還是完成時(shí)等。
21. 選詞不恰當(dāng)
eg: I was late getting home because I lost my way.
在這種情況下不應(yīng)該使用該詞,所使用的詞語與文章的總體語氣不符,可選擇更好的詞語。
22. 單詞形式不恰當(dāng)
eg: I want to creation a great web site so that I can becoming wealth.
所使用的單詞的形式不正確,檢查一下應(yīng)該使用該詞的名詞、形容詞或副詞形式的哪一種。
