托福作文語法問題:別讓你的一流論證淪落二流分數(shù)
4. 時態(tài)混亂
原:Although I have no work experience when I was a teenager, I always dreamed about having a job.
改:Although I had no work experience when I was a teenager, I always dreamed about having a job.
評:過去時的句子中冒出了現(xiàn)在時,同學你太粗心了,要仔細檢查哦~
原:I would explain my view in the following paragraphs.
改:I’d like to explain… / I will explain…
評:可能是兩種說法記混了吧,結(jié)果把時態(tài)搞錯了……
5. 主謂不一致
原:The way we deal with the environmental problems are crucial to the prosperity of human-being.
改:The way we deal with the environmental problems is crucial to the prosperity of human-being.
評:謂語之前有兩個名詞時,主謂搭配的問題就常常出現(xiàn)了。這里真正的主語應(yīng)該是單數(shù)名詞the way,所以與之搭配的謂語也應(yīng)該是單數(shù)的is。
6. 重復(fù)累贅
原:From my point of view, I think this argument is quite limited since many other ways can also help learning a foreign country.
改:From my point of view, this argument is quite limited since many other ways can also help us learn a foreign country.
評:from my point of view和I think重復(fù)啦,保留一個就好。當然這里建議留下更“高級”的from my point of view.
原:There are the majority of people who deem that they like to spend money on things which can bring them long memory.
改:Majority of the people like to spend money on things that can be memorized for long.
評:中文句式說的“有很多人……”,但別一看到“有”就非要用there be句型不可哦,直接擺出主謂賓就行了。
“things that can be memorized for long”,被動語態(tài)明顯更地道~
7. 中式英語
原:Thus, one is easier to draw bosses’ attention and gain appreciation.
改:Thus, it’s easier for you to draw bosses’ attention and gain appreciation.
評:中文習慣說“人們可以更容易地吸引老板的注意力”,而英語則習慣說“It’s easier for sb. to…”同學們要注意中英表述習慣的區(qū)別哦!
