一篇優秀的托福作文,你需要注意哪些語法問題?
在備考托福寫作時,很多考生不是很重視語法,因此寫出來的文章出現了一些基本性的語法錯誤,或者是文章顯得比較生硬,雖然也能讀懂,但是感覺有點彆扭。
托福寫作7大基本語法要求
不要出現的不完整的句子
不要出現分詞短語作狀語的錯誤
不要出現修飾詞錯位
不要出現串句
不要出現時態錯誤
不要出現代詞錯誤
不要出現結構混亂
選擇合適的語法結構可以使句子意思的表達更為精確和簡練。下面,小編為大家介紹在選擇語法結構時可以參考的原則。
一個句子的主語和謂語動詞應該能夠反映句子中的最重要的意思。
例子:
The situation that resulted in my grandfather』s not being able to study engineering was that his father needed help on the farm.
這句話想表達的重要概念是「grandfather』s not being able to study」,而在表達時,用的主語是situation,謂語動詞是was,不能強調需要表達的重點概念。
可以改為:My grandfather couldn』t study engineering because his father needed help on the farm.
避免頻繁使用「there be」結構。
例子:
There were 25 cows on the farm that my grandfather had to milk every day.It was hard work for my grandfather.
可以改為:My grandfather worked hard. He had to milk 25 cows on the farm every day.
或者
My grandfather worked hard milking 25 cows daily.
把從句改為短語或單詞。
例子:
Dairy cows were raised on the farm, which was located 100 kilometers from the nearest university and was in an area that was remote.
可以改為:
The dairy farm was located in a remote area,100 kilometers to the nearest university.
僅在需要強調賓語而不是主語的時候,才使用被動語態。
例子:
In the fall, not only did the cows have to be milked, but also the hay was mowed and stacked by my grandfather』s family.
本句的重點應該是「忙碌的家庭-my grandfather』sfamily」,而使用了被動語態後,重心似乎變成了cows和hay。
可以改為:In the fall,my grandfather』s family not only milked the cow but also mowed and stacked the hay.
用更為精確的一個動詞來代替動詞短語。
例子:
My grandfather didn』t have time to stand around doing nothing with his school friends.
可以改為:My grandfather didn』t have time to loiter with his school friends.
有時兩句話的信息經過組合完全可以用一句話來簡練地表達。
例子:
Profits from the farm were not large. Sometimes they were too small to meet the expenses of running a farm. They were not sufficient to pay for a university degree.
可以改為:Profits from the farm were sometimes too small to meet operational expenses let alone pay for a university degree.
一篇好的文章是由一個個句子堆砌起來的,每一句話都是這篇文章的重點,萬萬不可忽視。
