用词不当
The absence of groupwork is a disaster for teenagers in modern society.
评:groupwork是“分组”或者“小组集体任务”的意思。应改为teamwork“团队合作”,用词不当而导致表达出来的意思就风马牛不相及了。
You will be dangerous if you keep moving without a clear view of the whole picture.
评:dangerous表示所修饰的对象是“带来危险的,有危险性的”,而be in danger才是“身处险境”的意思。到底谁才是威胁呢?
Firstly, the job, providing the opportunity for students to utilize what they learned in class, might effect their further development.
评:模样长得像,意思可不同了。这里想用动词affect表示“影响”,却误写为名词effect“效果”,一字千里啊!
搭配错误
Nowadays, people are crazy pursuing to be excellent.
评:这位同学显然记错了be crazy about sth. 这个用法,写出来的句子自然会出问题啦。
Besides, public speech can effectively increase your communication skills, which facilitate your salesman career.
评:此处是一个明显的动宾搭配错误。“提高……技巧”应该是improve the skills,而不是increase the skills.
词性错位
I will forget my sad and pressure from the work and the study.
评:sad是形容词,而这里明显需要一个名词,应该是sadness。
Although making money is a priority for most people, spending time with the family is equal significant.
评:形容词significant前需要用副词来修饰,所以equal应该改成equally。
时态混乱
Although I have no work experience when I was a teenager, I always dreamed about having a job.
评:过去时的句子中冒出了现在时,同学你太粗心了,要仔细检查哦。
I would explain my view in the following paragraphs.
评:应该改为would like或是will,这两种说法混合使用导致把时态上的混乱。
通过以上几个例子,希望同学们可以举一反三,在托福写作练习和考试中都不要出现这些错误。
