1.避免过多使用really,so,a lot,very
A类雅思写作考试的文章,与严格意义上的学术论文还是有一定距离的,但是我们仍要注意语言的学术规范性,要使用较为正式,精确的词汇来表意,避免过于随意的词汇
而如really,so,a lot,very这样的词汇表意并不十分精确严密(avoid using imprecise language)
举个例子:
This job is very hard.
可以改写成:
This job is tough.
This job seems demanding.
tough:difficult to accomplish
demanding:requiring much time,effort,or attention
这两个词都可以表达very hard的意思,但是比very hard要更加具体,精确
在雅思写作中,我们尽量尝试将really,so,a lot,very改为较为具体精确的词汇
Very good:
top-notch:of the highest quality
outstanding:clearly very much better than what is usual
exceptional:much greater than usual,especially in skill,intelligence,quality,etc
Very bad
horrible:very unpleasant or bad
distressing:upsetting or worrying
awful:extremely bad or unpleasant
Very delicious
appetizing:appetizing food or smells make you want to eat
delectable:looking or tasting extremely good,and giving great pleasure
flavorful:full of flavor
另外一些句子中,考虑这样的词是否有出现的必要,是否可以直接删除
Robot-driven car is really controversial
==>Robot-driven car is controversial
2.避免使用简写
Don’t==>do not
Can’t==>cannot
Mustn’t==>must not
Couldn’t==>could not
Wouldn’t==>would not
Isn’t==>is not
Haven’t==>have not
Hasn’t==>has not
3.注意2种语法错误
sentence fragment-句子不完整,句子残缺
我们都知道一个完整的句子需要至少包含主语和谓语动词,需要表达一个完整的意思,但很多时候在文章书写时,我们都有可能产生疏漏,写出成分不完全的句子
比如:
l The doctor worked round the clock.Operating on the boy.
l As India has entered the WTO.The local entrepreneurs are faced with both challenges and opportunities.
上面的两个例子中:
第1个句子operating是个动名词结构但是句子缺乏谓语动词,而如果operate作为谓语动词,句子则又缺乏主语,虽然和前句的主语一致,但是作为独立的句子,依然不可缺乏必要成分
改为:The doctor worked around the clock,operating on the boy.
第二个句子India has entered the WTO是个完整的句子,但是因为前面加入了as,使其变为了一个状语从句,而状语无法作为独立的句子加句号,
改为:As India has entered the WTO,the local entrepreneurs are faced with both challenges and opportunities.
Run-on Sentences-写啊写啊写不停,忘记了标点...
我们口语表达时候,经常会出现吧啦吧啦说一串,口语中的抑扬顿挫和停顿都可以暗示断句和不同组的意思,然而写作则不同,如果没有标点,我们的句子和意思就很难得到有效划分。
比如:
Van Gogh is a world-famous artist his paintings can be found in many museums and art galleries.
这句话从头写到尾,出现了两个意思,两个主语,两个主动词,很明显是写激动了忘记了加标点
改为:
Van Gogh is a world-famous artist whose paintings can be found in many museums and art galleries.
Van Gogh is a world-famous artist.His paintings can be found in many museums and art galleries.
Van Gogh is a world-famous artist;his paintings can be found in many museums and art galleries.
注意与这种问题相伴的,就是很多小伙伴喜欢顺手就用逗号隔断两个句子,要注意逗号的力度不足以连接两个句子哦
比如:
Allen Ginsberg is a renowned American poet,his most famous poem is Howl.
需要改为:
Allen Ginsberg is a renowned American poet,whose most famous poem is Howl.
Allen Ginsberg is a renowned American poet.His most famous poem is Howl.
Allen Ginsberg is a renowned American poet;his most famous poem is Howl.
