众所周知,很多考生都被托福写作*停滞不前所困扰,其实归其原因,并不仅仅是写作能力本身有硬伤,而是你的语言表达存在问题哦~我们都知道在中文写作中,有一些约定俗成的表达规则,这些在英文写作中同样存在。所以小曼老师为大家整理了以下6点,为了让同学更好地理解,也使用了一些简单例句进行说明~
NO.01不使用缩写??示例:孩子们心理上不太成熟,以至于不能够区分正确和错误的。?错误:Children are so immature psychologically that they can"t distinguish between right and wrong.?正确:Children are so immature psychologically that they cannot distinguish between right and wrong.在规范性写作中,一定要避免缩写,这是美国大学中学术写作的基本要求。因此,can"t,don"t,doesn"t,won"t应该替换成cannot,can not,do not,does not,will not.
NO.02规范使用数字??示例:在游戏过程中,孩子们可以锻炼两种不同的核心能力:计划和管理资源的能力以及双手眼协调能力。?错误:When playing video games,children could develop 2 crucial skills:planning and resource management skills and hand-eye coordination.?正确:When playing video games,children could develop two crucial skills:planning and resource management skills and hand-eye coordination.在英语写作中,1-10的数字需要“写出来”,而且阿拉伯数字不能用在句子的开头。
NO.03关于数量的表达??示例:学生们有很多种形式获得教授们的鼓励?错误:Encouragement that students receive from their professors can take a lot of forms.?正确:Encouragement that students receive from their professors can take many forms.在写作中,a lot of/lots of表示为“许多”,较为不正式,通常使用much或many等表示。
NO.04注意语态??示例:人们对于学前教育对孩子学术*和个人发展的影响十分关注。?错误:Great attention has been paid to the influence of pre-school education on a child"s academic achievements and personal development.?正确:Parents are paying growing attention to the influence of pre-school education on a child"s academic achievements and personal development.在写作中,用“主动语态”代替“被动语态”。
NO.05不用抽象、含糊的词??示例:热情使我坚持自己的信念,并督促我完成艰难的任务。?错误:Passion is the thing that holds ma belief and propels me to finsh the difficult task.?正确:Passion is the essential power that holds my belief and propels me to finsh the difficult task.Thing的使用使得语言过于抽象、含糊,因此需要换成具体的“实义”名词。
NO.06however不用在句首??示例:这些路几乎不能通行。但是,我们最终还是到达了营地。?错误:The roads were almot impassable. However, we atlast succeeded in reaching camp.?正确:The roads were almot impassable.At last,however we succeeded in reaching camp.However意义相当于nevertheless,在句子或从句中通常不在句首出现。
上面这些小问题,多少同学不经人提醒一直都发现不了,这些小的细节错误也会让你们的托福作文观感不好,导致分数不漂亮!所以托福写作一直提不了分的同学,应该找专业人士或是托福老师进行批改,会多出很多意想不到的惊喜哦~
