TOEFL考试作文常见错误23种

2008-09-24来源:
1.结构不平行 

例:I was able to raise my TOEFL score by studying hard and I read lots of books. 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 a long 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 test scores. 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 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。 

10.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。 

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。
