新托福写作易犯错误示例与解析

1.用词不当

学生们写的作文里或多或少都会有一些用词不当的问题,但是要注意的是一些最最基本的错误是不能犯的。

In the show, if participators answer twenty problems that the host mentioned correctly, they will get five hundreds thousand U.S. dollars as a prize.

——problems应改为questions

2.拼写错误

这里的拼写错误不是指在考试时候的误打,而是本身对词汇拼写记忆的错误。

In conclusion, issue of whether parents are the best teachers is a complex one, requiring subjective judgement, consequently, there are no easy or certain answers.

——judgement应改为judgment

3.乱用大词

First of all, children can earn money from their jobs, although there isn‘t too much, but they will keep their salary gingerliness.

这里的gingerliness根本是不知所云。该句子还有以下问题:

1)该作文题目是讲学生是否应该做兼职,因此children的出现就显得很莫名其妙;

2)although和but是不能连用的;

3)指代不明,they不知道是指代前面的什么;

4.表达中式

The second argument-it might have been noticed by others-is that in some occasion, it is quite difficult to compare parents to teachers because parents are a kind of people, teachers are a kind of vocation.

句子中划线部分的表达过于中式化。

5.表意重复

They shocked their friends, devastated their families, crushed their best friends.

前面已经提到了朋友,后面又提到朋友。

The show is so compelling but attractive.

compelling和attractive是同义词,所以这里这么写就让人不明白。

6.固定用法错误

To some extends, I agree with the author‘s general assertion that if parents also have a comprehensive sense of professional knowledge.

——To some extends应改为To some extent中 华 考 试 网

7.例证夸张

For example, when a doctor faces a patient who has got cancer, the doctor cannot tell the truth, for the truth may cause the patient‘s immediate death.

虽然善意的谎言是必要的,但是其功效显然没有这么大。

8.成分多余

According to a comprehensive investigation which is carried out by Chinese Academy of Social Sciences shows that there is an increase in the number of university students who are taking part-time jobs.

该句中的shows that是多余的成分。

9.词性混乱

However, the questions such as "Have you ever regretted marrying your husband" may be very privacy and embarrassingly.

句子中的privacy和embarrassingly应该改成private和embarrassing.

10.文体不正式

All of the players gonna to tell the truth in attempt to win $500,000.

——gonna过于口语化。

In addition, I think people shoudn‘t always tell the truth to others.

——在托福作文中尽量不要用缩写,这里应该写should not.

11.两个独立句子间无连词

Another point is that young people are more aggressive and energetic, and it‘s suitable for them to choose such jobs, which will provide them with rich experience that is essential for their future success.

这个错误犯的频率相当高,一定要注意。

12.时态错误

托福大作文一般使用现在时态,除了拿过去事件作为例子用过去时态。

Some people claimed that news media has enormous influence and is a detrimental creation.

—— claimed应该改为claim

13.不知所云

They also mention that in modern society there are too much entertainment bothering them as the huge gap lying between them and the success.

这句话完全不知道是什么意思,逻辑混乱,这是中国学生经常犯的错误。

托福写作地道表达之名词化

简单说,名词化即是动词或形容词被用作名词的现象。比如动词转成名词:discovery->discovery, move->movement, refuse->refusal,又比如形容词转成名词:careless->carelessness, difficult->difficulty, intense->intensity。那么什么情况下,我们需要进行名词化呢?

A 谓语动词的宾语部分

原句:I do not know either what she meant or what he intends.

名词化:I do not know either her meaning or his intentions.

B 结合被动形式

原句:If people decide without enough persuasive information,...

名词化:If a decision is made without enough persuasive information,...

C 取代诸如从句中“the fact that”的用法

原句:The fact that I denied what he accused me of impressed the jury.

名词化:My denial of his accusations impressed the jury.

更好的名词化:a. When I denied his accusations, I impressed the jury.

b. In denying his accusations, I impressed the jury.

D 名词化部分用在there is/are的后面

原句:We demand that the government stop taxing entertainment.

名词化:There is a demand for an end to taxation on entertainment.

原句:The floods considerably eroded the land.

名词化:There was considerable erosion of the land from the floods.

然而,有些时候,在我们的思维方式中认为理所应当使用“名词化”时,老外认为是没有必要的。比如:

A 名词化部分跟在动词后面

原句(名词化“冗余”):The police conducted an investigation into the matter.

改后:The police investigated the matter.

B 名词化部分作为主语

原句:Our discussion is concerned with a tax cut.

改后:We discussed a tax cut.

C 连续进行名词化

原句:a. First, she reviewed the evolution of the dorsal fin.

b. There was a first a review of the evolution of the dorsal fin.

改后:First,she reviewed how the dorsal fin evolved.

D 连接部分名词化

原句:Their cessation of hostilities was because of their personnel losses.

改后:They ceased hostilities because they lost personnel.

原句:The instability of the motor housing did not preclude the completion of the field trials.

改后:Even though the motor housing was unstable, the research staff completed the field trials.

以上这些情况是我们中国学生很常见的名词化缺失或名词化滥用的例子。对于新托福写作来说,在保证基本的语言语法不出错的基础上,如果能更多地正确使用名词化,文章不但更地道,也更易取得高分。当然,熟练掌握名词化不是一蹴而就的事情,平时需要多积累,多运用。

在那托福取经的道路上之写作篇

写作备考技巧

新托福要求考生在1小时内写2篇文章。第一篇与旧托福的议论文很相似,第二篇则要求考生先阅读一篇文章,听与之相关的课堂演讲,之后在20分钟内迅速总结出演讲中所谈到的论点、论据等。这篇文章相当于文摘,考生不需要阐述自己的观点。

一、考前的准备工作

大量练习学术英语听力材料,如一些大学课堂讲座、记录片、电视教育节目及有深

度的新闻节目。最好是边听边训练记笔记的能力。开始不一定要每个单词或每句话都要记录下来,而是要学会瞬间抓住文章和句子的大意,用联想的方式来提前预测文章的走向。

扩大词汇量,多练习衔接词,如连词及其表达方式,目的是让你的文章连贯、流畅。

二、综合题部分答题技巧

阅读时把握文章的大意和结构,注意文章中出现的关键词及词组。听录音时,注意力放在主要观点上,注意听力讲座中经常重复的术语和概念,将重要观点、例证和原因记录下来。

然后,先花几分钟时间写提纲,尽量将问题的方方面面想周全后,再对照笔记和阅读短文的内容回答问题。

有逻辑地组织段落,做到每一段有一个主题思想,根据阅读和听力材料的内容用自己的语言全面地回答问题,切忌直接引用原句。

三、独立写作部分答题技巧

在动笔前,同样花几分钟时间写提纲,仔细审题,再组织观点。

写作时注意紧扣主题,明确陈述自己的观点,以事实为依据,如例证、事实、原因、个人经历及其他细节。

别在意考官是否同意你的观点,需要注意的是你是否能清楚地陈述自己的观点,以细节来支持。

四、临场注意事项

考前应通过模拟题熟悉考试指令,这样真正考试时就无需再阅读指令。临场考试时,指令一出来就立即用鼠标点击Continue跳过,节省宝贵的时间。

写作应使用熟悉的语法和词汇,考试不是你尝试新词汇或新结构的时候。

托福写作的技巧

技巧

1.思路:

至少两条合适的理由,判定理由是否合适,参看理由集锦。假如你认为你写的理由是集锦中没有的,又无法判定它是否合理,不妨提出来讨论。

2.结构

多段式,每一个重要理由单独成为一段,正规书面文体,要求每段开头空四个空格,

3.细节

各段落写作中一般要求在各段主题句之后看到一些支持说明该段主题的细节,(细节可以为:a.具体事例,自己的他人的都行;b.假想例子,一般使用imagine,suppose,itisreasonabletoexpect...开头。c.正反对比的论述。d.使用类比、比喻等修辞手段。)各个段落可以根据不同使用情况来确定使用哪种细节来支持,最好各段采用的细节是不同模式的。

4.语言

用词上把握住:properwordsinproperposition假如出现用词错误,比如该用brains用了head,产生歧义的必须杜绝,各段的主题句中不能有语意模糊、逻辑混乱现象。修辞几乎是必须的:用了就比没用有本质差别,用得好有加分。

5.句式

绝对不能从头到尾都是简单句,注重文章中使用到各种复合句式,以下几种建议必有:同位语、定语从句、宾语从句、状语从句。并注重使用双重否定句。

评分细则

3分:字数在200字以下,理由不清楚,各种错误云集(超过12个)。

4分:假如你的理由能够被一般人认为是合适的(我会在我的理由集锦中给出你可能写到的篇章的理由),并且至少两条,结构上多段,各段有写的不错的主题句,语言使用不出大问题,使用了修辞手段,又注重了多种句式的使用,那么得4分应该没问题了。语法、拼写、用词错误不超过12个。

5分:假如已经满足了四分的标准,发现某段论述比较出色,比如举了非常合适和精确的例子,或者非常感人;某处使用到了非常合适的修辞,那么你可以得到5分了。

6分:全文从始至终语言使用保持流畅、得体。有精确、合适的例证。有较好修辞,段落发展自然,有逻辑。所有可能错误不超过6个,别轻易给自己六分,每场考试中此分数凤毛麟角。
