写作中易出现的语法错误

　　虽然托福考试改革后，不再有单独考察同学们的语法题目了。但是在整个托福考试中，听说读写四个方面，语法都贯穿其中。如果有同学在写作中，出现语法错误，那么显然是会被扣分的。虽然如此，还是会发现同学在写作中容易出现的一些错误。

　　1. 不完整的句子

　　(1) If you find that writing is hard is because it is hard. One of the hardest things that people do.

　　If you find that writing is hard is because it is hard—one of the hardest things that people do.

　　(2) Stereotypes are a kind of gossip about the world. A gossip that makes us prejudge people before we ever lay eyes on them.

　　Stereotypes are a kind of gossip about the world, a gossip that makes us prejudge people before we ever lay eyes on them.

　　Stereotypes are a kind of gossip about the world that makes us prejudge people before we ever lay eyes on them.

　　2. 分词短语作状语的错误

　　Holding her in his arms, the moon hid behind the cloud.

　　As soon as the moon hid behind the cloud, he held her in his arms.

　　3. 修饰词错位

　　(1) Romeo received word that Juliet was dead from another messenger.

　　Romeo received word from another messenger that Juliet was dead.

　　(2) After leaving the stage, the audience’s applause called the musicians back for an encore.

　　After the musicians left the stage, the audience’s applause called them back for an encore.

　　(3) Disruptive in the classroom, a teacher may become exasperated with hyperactive children.

　　Disruptive in the classroom, hyperactive children may exasperate a teacher.

　　4. 串句

　　Unproductive or uncooperative workers can seriously harm an organization, for this reason, employers need to have accurate information about employee performance, but when employees have full access to their own personnel files, co-workers and even supervisors will often find it difficult to give frank criticism of underachievers or to report troublemakers.

　　Unproductive or uncooperative workers can seriously harm an organization; for this reason, employers need to have accurate information about employee performance. But when employees have full access to their own personnel files, co-workers and even supervisors will often find it difficult to give frank criticism of underachievers or to report troublemakers.

　　5. 时态错误

　　The researchers admitted that they falsified crucial data in the study.

　　The researchers admitted that they had falsified crucial data in the study.

　　6. 代词错误

　　(1) Too often people either keep their feelings to themselves or take it our on others.

　　Too often people either keep their feelings to themselves or take them our on others.

　　(2) Each girl and boy must do their part to keep the home fires burning.

　　Each girl and boy must do her or his part to keep the home fires burning.

　　(3) This college has their own entrance requirements.

　　This college has its own entrance requirements.

　　(4) If one wishes to participate in the political process, you can begin by voting regularly.

　　If one wishes to participate in the political process, one can begin by voting regularly.

　　(5) The fire in the library was finally put out. For a while, they thought an unhappy employee might have started it.

　　The fire in the library was finally put out. For a while, the library staff thought an unhappy employee might have started it.

　　7. 结构混乱

　　Because Hemingway’s style is simple makes his writing accessible to all readers.

　　Because Hemingway’s style is simple, his writing is accessible to all readers.

　　Hemingway’s simple style makes his writing accessible to all readers.

　　8.非谓语动词使用不当

　　Comparing with the money people earns， the sense of achievement is more important.

　　改：Compared with the money people earns， the sense of achievement is more important.

　　此处是动词compare的现在分词和过去分词使用混淆了。在英语中，动词的现在分词往往表示的是主动的意思，过去分词则表示被动的含义。原句想表达的是“将成就感与钱相比”，“把…与…相比”是明显的被动含义，因此应该使用compared.

　　9.时态混乱

　　Although I have no work experience when I was a teenager， I always dreamed about having a job.

　　改：Although I had no work experience when I was a teenager， I always dreamed about having a job.

　　虽然托福写作以议论文为主，为了表示客观性，基本上使用的都是现在时态，但是在举例的时候还是会涉及到一些过去时态，例如上面的句子，切记：主从句时态要保持一致。

　　10. 托福独立写作语法错误汇总：表述累赘

　　原：Internet plays an important and indispensible role in people's life today.

　　Internet plays an indispensible role in people's life today.

　　这个句子一看就知道是作者为了使用词汇而犯下的错误。明明已经有Important来表示重要性了，又强行加上了indispensible来表示不可缺少，这种说法只有在中国政府工作报告中才会出现的，老美是不喜欢的。

　　11. 用词不当

　　词性混淆：

　　A large number of people hold the believe that students' social activities should be the first priority.

　　改：A large number of people hold the belief that students' social activities should be the first priority.

　　这个例子中believe是动词，belief才是名词形式。虽然发音相近，但是用法却完全不同。

　　同义词错用：

　　It's indeed that people are worrying about the increasing population.

　　改：It's true that people are worrying about the increasing population.

　　虽然二者都表示“真的”，indeed却没有it's indeed that…的结构，此处只能用true来表示。

　　固定搭配错误：

　　As a friend and mentor， she drew from humor， a beautiful spirit and her faith in the Aboriginal culture to accomplish her work.

　　改：As a friend and mentor， she drew on humor， a beautiful spirit and her faith in the Aboriginal culture to accomplish her work.

　　draw from： 从……中汲取(经验等)， draw on：借鉴(经验等)作者本想使用一个的表达法，结果用错了，很可惜。
