为了帮助大家备考
托福,小编为大家带来托福写作需要避免的错误,希望对大家有所帮助。
1.结构不平行例:I was able to raise my TOEFL score by studying hard and I read lots ofbooks.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 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 for along time.主语和动词在数方面不一致。
4.句子别扭We heated the soup in the microwave for too long and the shape of the container 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 I want to go to a good school,therefore I am trying to raise my testscores.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. 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 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,find, achieve, 等等。
9.书写难以辨认,信息不正确I would like to study in America because all modern technologyoriginated 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**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 andadvantageable. 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 about something important that you mentioned about tome 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 herhus band.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 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 for children to fail 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。
