托福写作中常见的失分点
书写难以辨认,信息不正确
I would like to study in America because all modern technology originated 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 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。
介词多余
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。
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。北京雅思托福英语教育培训学校整理。
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。
标点问题
I love animals. And I like to help them. Because they are helpless. So I want to become a vet.这是一个非常普遍的问题!许多学生在句子中使用了太多的句号,尤其是当他们用手写的时候。
重复冗余
Personally,I believe what the newspaper prints.一种意思的表述不止一次,或者某个词语不必要。
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。
关联词语重复
Since I want to go to a good school,therefore I am trying to raise my test scores.不能在该句的主要主语和主要动词前使用连词。
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。
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。
