中国考生在托福写作这一点上容易出现这样几个问题:一味地使用一些空洞的词汇、一直重复某个意思、表达形式繁琐复杂,而这些会导致文章不知所云,也会导致论据完全无法服务于论点,具体这些问题该怎么克服呢?我们可以从以下几个方面来看:
1避免空洞的单词和词组:
比如:
When all things are considered, young adults of today live more satisfying lives than those of their parents, in my opinion.
这句话当中的“when all things are considered”和“in my opinion“都显得多余。完全可以去掉。改为:
Young adults of today live more satisfying lives than their parents.
2避免重复:
The farm my grandfather grew up on was large in size.
large 对一个farm来说就是size方面的large,所以in size可以去掉,改为:
The farm my grandfather grew up on was large.
更简洁的表达方式为:
My grandfather grew up on a large farm.
3选择最恰当的语法结构:
The situation that resulted in my grandfather’s not being able to study engineering was that his father needed help on the farm.
从意思上来分析,上面这句话需要表达的重要的概念是“grandfather’s not being able to study”,而在表达这个概念时,原句用的主语是situation,谓语动词是was,不能强调需要表达的重点概念,可以改为下面这句话:
My grandfather couldn’t study engineering because his father needed help on the farm.
