现在很多考生都被托福写作成绩停滞不前所困扰,其实归其原因,并不仅仅是写作能力本身有硬伤,而是你的语言表达出了问题,可以说是人人写作文时都会犯,但又人人都发现不了的!

托福写作备考容易忽略的小细节,一定要认真看!

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。今天就给大家整理了以下七点,帮助大家更好的理解~

一、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 theycan'tdistinguish between right and wrong.

正确:Children are so immature psychologically that theycannotdistinguish 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

二、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 develop2crucial skills:planning and resource management skills and hand-eye coordination.

正确:When playing video games,children could developtwocrucial 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。

三、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 takea lot offorms.

正确:Encouragement that students receive from their professors can takemanyforms.

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。

四、注意语态

示例:人们对于学前教育对孩子学术成绩和个人发展的影响十分关注。

错误:Great attention has been paidtothe influence of pre-school education on a child's academic achievements and personal development.

正确:Parents are payinggrowing 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”。

五、删除不必要的词

示例:曼德拉从未停止过种族平等运动的抗争,虽然他曾入狱。

错误:Mandela never stopped camaigning for racial equality,despitethe facthe was incarcerated.

正确:Mandela never stopped camaigning for racial equality,despiteofhis incarcerated.

在写作中,删除不必要的词,如几乎所有的fact,包括:owing to the fact that...,in speite of the fact that...,call your attention to the fact that...,I was unaware of the fact that...等。

六、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 thethingthat holds ma belief and propels me to finsh the difficult task.

正确:Passion istheessential powerthat 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。

七、however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,howeverwe 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。
