小白老师说:对于考博英语写作,现在大家都知道要背万能句、做高级同义词替换了,但是由于基础不扎实,写出来的东西过于随意、不规范,也很难拿到好的分数。今天小白老师就来总结一下英语作文的十个容易被忽略的小细节,写不好会送命,写好了能救命。
错误类型 1:结构不平行
I was able to raise my English score by studying hard and I read lots of books.
当使用连词 and 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。
错误类型 2: 不知所云
Many hospitals began using computers mouth.
错误类型 3:段落过长,不分段;主谓不一致
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。
错误类型 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。
错误类型 5:在正式的写作中了使用紧缩形式,如:can’t,don’t,it’s,we’ll,they’ve 等等。
注意:在正式的学术写作中应当使用单词的完整形式,如:can not,do not,it is,we will,they have 等等。
错误类型 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.
注意:不能在该句的主要主语和主要动词前使用连词。
错误类型 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.
这个句子没有主要主语或动词,因为其实它应是一个从句。这是一个非常常见的错误忽略英文,修改的方法是将两个句子连接起来。
错误类型 8:用词欠妥
When I got home, I got tired, so I got a book and got into bed.
解析:Get 太不正式,意思也过于含糊,不适合用在正式写作。应将 get 改成一个更加具体的单词,如 become, receive, find, achieve 等等。
错误类型 9: 信息不正确
I would like to study in America because all modern technology originated there.
句子表达的信息明显不正确。上面这个错误例句中,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,所以这个句子不妥。为保险起见忽略英文,可以使用 many 或 most。
错误类型 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.
注意:介词不能与副词连用。小白老师发现很多考生会在 downtown,home,there,here 等副词前面加介词,这种错误真的很普遍。
