託福寫作時要注意這幾個問題

在寫作中有一些約定俗成的表達規則，這些在英文寫作中同樣存在。託福寫作中大家也可以應用這些規則，讓自己的作文更加順暢。文中使用了一些簡單例句進行說明，方便大家更好地理解。話不多說，我們今天就一起來看看吧!

01

不使用縮寫

示例：孩子們心理上不太成熟，以至於不能夠區分正確和錯誤的。

錯誤：Children are so immature psychologically that they can't distinguish between right and wrong.

正確：Children are so immature psychologically that they cannot distinguish between right and wrong.

在規範性寫作中，一定要避免縮寫，這是美國大學中學術寫作的基本要求。

因此，can't，don't，doesn't，won't應該替換成cannot，can not，do not，does not，will not

02

規範使用數字

示例：在遊戲過程中，孩子們可以鍛鍊兩種不同的核心能力：計劃和管理資源的能力以及雙手眼協調能力。

錯誤：When playing video games,children could develop 2 crucial skills:planning and resource management skills and hand-eye coordination.

正確：When playing video games,children could develop two crucial skills:planning and resource management skills and hand-eye coordination.

在英語寫作中，1-10的數字需要“寫出來”，而且阿拉伯數字不能用在句子的開頭。

03

關於數量的表達

示例：學生們有很多種形式獲得教授們的鼓勵

錯誤：Encouragement that students receive from their professors can take a lot of forms.

正確：Encouragement that students receive from their professors can take many forms.

在寫作中，a lot of/lots of表示爲“許多”，較爲不正式，通常使用much或many等表示。

04

注意語態

示例：人們對於學前教育對孩子學術成績和個人發展的影響十分關注。

錯誤：Great attention has been paid to the influence of pre-school education on a child's academic achievements and personal development.

正確：Parents are paying growing attention to the influence of pre-school education on a child's academic achievements and personal development.

在寫作中，用“主動語態”代替“被動語態”。

05

刪除不必要的詞

示例：曼德拉從未停止過種族平等運動的抗爭，雖然他曾入獄。

錯誤：Mandela never stopped camaigning for racial equality,despite the fact he was incarcerated.

正確：Mandela never stopped camaigning for racial equality,despite of his incarcerated.

在寫作中，刪除不必要的詞，如幾乎所有的fact，包括：owing to the fact that...,in speite of the fact that...,call your attention to the fact that...,I was unaware of the fact that...等。

06

不用抽象、含糊的詞

示例：熱情使我堅持自己的信念，並督促我完成艱難的任務。

錯誤：Passion is the thing that holds ma belief and propels me to finsh the difficult task.

正確：Passion is the essential power that holds my belief and propels me to finsh the difficult task.

Thing的使用使得語言過於抽象、含糊，因此需要換成具體的“實義”名詞。

07

however不用在句首

示例：這些路幾乎不能通行。但是，我們最終還是到達了營地。

錯誤：The roads were almot impassable. However, we atlast succeeded in reaching camp.

正確：The roads were almot impassable.At last,however we succeeded in reaching camp.

However意義相當於nevertheless，在句子或從句中通常不在句首出現。
