Chinglish

When we first fell onto the floor, …

People mountain people sea

以上兩句是考生作文中出現(xiàn)的,這種情況的出現(xiàn)會導致考官完全無法讀懂考生要表達的意思,而導致扣分。另外常見的語法錯誤還出現(xiàn)在以下方面,如主謂不一致,單復數(shù)不注意,句子結(jié)構(gòu)錯誤,時態(tài)語態(tài)錯誤,搭配錯誤等等。如:

1. Children who is raised in impoverished families can generally deal with problems effectively in their adult years.

主謂不一致,is 改成are

2. At present, people tended to take private cares rather than public transport.

時態(tài)錯誤 tended改成tend

3. Grow up in a poor family makes some children feel they are not as capable as other children.

句子結(jié)構(gòu)錯誤,grow是動詞不能做主語,改成growing。

III 語言的多樣性

語言的多樣性使用體現(xiàn)在詞匯和句型上。

在詞匯的使用上,很多考生都有一個誤區(qū),認為用越難的詞分數(shù)會越高,其實不然,準確的使用和多樣的使用才是最重要的。如在表示“美麗”的時候,很多考生想到的第一個詞肯定是beautiful,我們可以用很多其他的詞來替換這個詞而達到多樣使用的目的,如nice, pretty, lovely, gorgeous, elegant, wonderful, fantastic, spectacular, fabulous, eye-catching, appealing, tempting, attractive等等。

此外,在句式上,同樣的誤區(qū)也會出現(xiàn),考生認為全寫長句復雜句,會拿高分,殊不知考官的評分標準中對句型的使用提到“長短句相結(jié)合”,所以我們在寫幾個長句的基礎(chǔ)上,基本是以短句為主,那么短句就要加點特色,才能吸引考官的眼球。如下面的例句,我們可以通過三種不同的句式來完成寫作:

隨著20世紀末科技的繁榮,人們開始廣泛使用電腦。

1. with 狀語前置

With the prosperity of science and technology in the late 20th century, people tend to use computers widely.

2. witness

The late 20th century witnessed the prosperity of science and technology, which gives rise to that people tend to use computers widely

3. it is … that 強調(diào)句

It is the prosperity of science and technology that leads to the wide application of computers in various aspects of people’s daily life.
