本文为大家详细分析八大雅思写作常见错误,希望考生能够从中找出自己的问题,从而提高英语表达能力,如果没有这些问题的话就最好不过了,拿下高分不成问题。
雅思写作方面的提高是循序渐进的,其中语法的准确性也是取得高分必不可少的一个重要因素。事实上,许多同学所学到的语法知识在雅思写作里面已经远远足够了,但是一涉及自己的雅思写作的时候,所展现出来的具体情况和“貌似已经掌握”的语法能力却天差地别。这就涉及到我们在构思时的思维方式问题了。话不多说,赶紧来看看吧。
一、主谓宾搭配不当
主谓宾(或其中的部分语素)搭配不当是中国考生在写作练习中出现的很典型错误。我们举小作文的常见表达方式为例:当主语是percentage/proportionof...时,谓语通常都是is;而当用the number of ... 做主语时,谓语则采用表示“占据,占有”的词take up、makeup、cover等等。有些考生在学习的时候对此很明确,但实际到自己需要书写时往往会忘记具体的要求。
例句一:
In the modern society has a lot of influence on the way people manipulate telecommunication equipments.
问题:“In the modern society”是状语成分,不能作为主语,如果想保留状语成分,那么必须要在society和has之间添加一个主语才可以。
例句二:
The cell phones in the modern society have used the latest functions to promote the communication efficiency.
问题:手机不能够使用最新技术来提高沟通效率,主谓宾的搭配不恰当。
二、长句中的时态错误
考生们如果学习了剑桥4-10后面的范文即会发现,考官范文里面的长难句虽然不多,但是如果能够用复合的结构表达自己的意思,写作的能力很显然是可以上一个等级的。然而在自己打造复合句的过程中,有时候加入的插入成分较多,学生往往会忘记主谓宾之间的搭配关系,因此会导致构句的语法错误。
例句:
The government measures, which has negative influence on corporate employees, also poses as a threat to the benefit of the employers.
这个长句看起来结构很正确,但较难发现主语和谓语的单复数搭配不当,因此建议广大考生在写句子的时候就把需要注意的语法点想清楚,也省去自己检查时的麻烦。
三、双谓语错句
e.g. For those under 26,there were 80% students study for career.
There be句型属于双谓语错句高发句型,因为句中的be动词已经是谓语,而句子后面的动词通常是定语从句中的成分,故不能作为主句中的谓语。例句中同时出现了“were”和“study”,根据上面的分析,were应该是谓语,而study for career应该是定语从句,因此,例句应修正改成:
For those under 26,there were 80% students who studied for career. 或者For those under 26,there were 80% students studying for career.
又如:Causes for this phenomenon are comprehensive but the major reasons contribute to this problem can be identified from three perspectives.应改成:
Causes for this phenomenon are comprehensive but the major reasons contributing/which contribute to this problem can be identified from three perspectives.
四、句子不完整
e.g. The most popular kind of transport was by road.
句中主语是the most popular kind of transport,谓语动词(系动词)是was,而by road按照语法应该是方式状语,此句缺乏表语。
应改成:
The most popular kind of transport was road.
又如:Many factories in order to get more profits,which made waste water and waste gas.
去除目的状语“in order to get more profits”和非限制性定语从句“which made waste water and waste gas”, 剩下的是many factories, 不能作为一个句子。根据此句想表达的意思,应改为:
Many factories in order to get more profits made waste water and waste gas.
五、主系表结构使用错误
e.g. We are impossible to make any progress without correcting the mistakes.
此句的主干结构是:we are impossible“我们是不可能”,表意不对。这种表达在英语中对应的句型是:It is…for…to…, 所以应该改成:
It is impossible for us to make any progress without correcting the mistakes.
类似的错误例句还有:
People are very convenient to get information on the Internet. His profession is a teacher.
情态动词后的动词原形和动名词的使用出错
e.g. Another equally vital point to be considered is that building them may costs much money and energy.
这种错误可能是笔误,在雅思作文中偶尔出现不至于扣分,但是通篇都是这样的错误,那么肯定是有影响的。
e.g. Another point to be discussed is that more time spending on computers is harmful to children’s mental health.
“花更多时间在电脑上”这个动词短语作为主语应该要用动名词形式:
Another point to be discussed is that spending more time on computers is harmful to children’s mental health.
六、标点符号用错
e.g. As far as I am concerned,people should take exercise and relax themselves on a weekly basis. Because it offers great opportunities to release their stress.
Because引导的句子做原因状语从句,既然是从句,那么前面就不应该使用句号使其独立成句,而应该改成逗号,because首字母小写。
七、词性使用错误
e.g. One possible solution is using the new energy to instead of the traditional energy.
Instead of是介词,而这里构成to do(不定式),只能用动词。因此,可改为:
One possible solution is using the new energy to replace the traditional energy.
e.g. Nowadays,some students study many subjects in university,which leads to that they suffer great mental pressure.
Lead to 中to 是介词,后面不能直接加句子,因此可在leads to后加一名词,构成同位语从句:
Nowadays,some students study many subjects in university,which leads to the fact that they suffer great mental pressure. 或Nowadays, some students study many subjects in university,which makes them suffer great mental pressure.
八、从句的误用和滥用
e.g. The reason why I assert it is necessary for government to provide better education and health care for rural areas because it can ensure all citizens to have access to them.
“why…rural areas”在句中作the reason的定语,固定句式“the reason why…is that…”why引导的定语从句和that引导的表语从句连用,气势磅礴,这就是所谓的高分句型。
e.g. In this essay,I will discuss what those,who are two kinds of people in this topic,are how to think and how to choose. 实再迂回婉转,不知所云。
