  雅思高分写作--别让这5个小错误毁了你的作文

  Nowadays,a increasing number of people concerned about the enhancement of publicservices. However, whether the government should allocate fund to publicservices other than waste money on arts is controversial issue. In my view,public service are vital to our life, but spending money on arts is definitelynot just waste money.

  不看不知道,一看吓一跳!这短短3句话共53词的开头段里,密布着8处语法错误,这在雅思写作评分标准中的 “语法准确性”(GrammaticalRange and Accuracy)一条上自然会大打折扣。下面我们就挨个来扒一扒这些看似微小,但却决定了雅思写作成败的细节问题,欢迎各位烤鸭对号入座!

  【细节一】冠词的使用

  1. 原文:Nowadays,a increasing number ofpeople......

  诊断:元音单词increasing前的不定冠词应用an而不是a。这样的错误在口语中不容易犯,但写到纸上时就容易忽视。所以说,写完的作文不仅要重看,更要“重读”,才能借助语感揪出这样的小错误。

  正确:Nowadays, anincreasing number ofpeople......

  2. 原文:However,whether the government...... on arts is controversial issue.

  诊断:issue是可数名词,但这里既没有用冠词又不是复数,显然是有问题的。

  正确:However, whetherthe government...... on arts is a controversial issue.

  【细节二】名词单复数

  3. 原文:However,whether the government should allocate fund to public services ......

  诊断:fund表示政府拨款的“资金”,此处应该使用复数,表示多笔拨款。

  正确:However,whether thegovernment should allocate funds topublic services ......

  4. 原文:In myview, public service are vitalto our life, but......

  诊断:句子主语public service与谓语are不一致,主语是单数,而谓语是复数用法。此处publicservices泛指“公共服务”,应用复数。

  正确:In my view, publicservices are vitalto our life, but......

  【细节三】动词词组用法

  5. 原文:Nowadays,[an] increasing number of people concerned about the enhancement of publicservices.

  诊断:动词词组be concernedabout...表示“对……关注”。但这句话中使用时漏掉了be动词,导致整个句子语法错误。

  正确:Nowadays,[an]increasing number of people are concerned about the enhancement of public services.

  *注:中括号内单词[an]表示已在原文中修改的错误。下同。

  【细节四】近似用法混淆

  6. 原文:However,whether the government should allocate fund to publicservices other than waste...

  诊断:考生原本想用的应该是ratherthan,表示“而不是”,却错误地写成了形式类似的otherthan,表示“除了……之外”,整句话的意思就改变了。

  正确:However,whether thegovernment should allocate fund to public services rather than waste...

  【细节五】非谓语动词用法

  7. 原文:However,whether... to public services [rather] than waste money on arts is...

  诊断:rather than是介词,后面可接名词或动名词形式,但此处考生错误地接了动词原形。

  正确:However,whether...to public services [rather] than wasting money on arts is...

  8. 原文:In myview... but spending money on arts is definitely not just waste money.

  诊断:考生想表达“在艺术上投资绝不仅仅是浪费金钱”,但却错误地用动词原形waste作表语,暴露了基本功不扎实的问题

  正确:In myview... butspending money on arts is definitely not just wasting money.

  除了动名词之外,其他几种非谓语动词——动词不定式、现在分词、过去分词等,也是写作中的重头戏。如果用得好自然锦上添花,但这些往往也是最容易出错的部分,切记!

  雅思写作常见10大语法错误详细汇总

  一、不一致

  所谓不一致不光指主谓不一致,还包括了数的不一致、时态不一致以及代词不一致等。比如:When one have money, he can dowhat he want to.

  分析:one是第三人称单数,因此本句的have应改为has;want应改为wants, 本句是典型的主谓不一致。

  改为:When one has money,he can do what he wants(to do).

  二、修饰语错位

  英语与汉语不同,同一个修饰语置于句子不同的位置,句子的含义可能引起变化。对于这一点考生们往往没有引起足够的重视,因而造成了不必要的误解。比如:Ibelieve I can do it well and I will better know the world outside thecampus.

  分析:better位置不当,应置于句末。

  三、句子不完整

  在口语中,交际双方可借助手势语气上下文等,不完整的句子完全可以被理解。可是书面语就不同了,句子结构不完整会令意思表达不清,这种情况常常在主句写完以后,作者又想加些补充说明时发生。比如:Thereare many ways to know the society.For example by TV,radio,newspaper and soon.

  分析:本句后半部分"For example by TV,radio,newspaper and soon.”不是一个完整的句子,仅为一些不连贯的词语,不能独立成句。

  改为:There are many ways to know society,for example,by TV,radio,and newspaper.

  四、悬垂修饰语

  所谓悬垂修饰语是指句首的短语与后面句子的逻辑关系混乱不清。比如:At the age of ten,my grandfather died.这句中"at the age of ten"只写出十岁时,但没有说明“谁”十岁时,按一般推理不可能是my grandfather,如果我们把这个悬垂修饰语改得明确一点,读者或考官在读句子时就不会误解了。

  改为:When I was ten, my grandfather died.

  五、词性误用

  “词性误用”常表现为:介词当动词用;形容词当副词用;名词当动词用等。比如:None can negative the importance ofmoney.

  分析:negative系形容词,误作动词。

  改为:None can deny the importance of money.

  六、指代不清

  指代不清主要讲的是代词与被指代的人或物关系不清,或者先后所用的代词不一致。比如:Mary was friendly to my sisterbecause she wanted her to be her bridesmaid.

  读完上面这一句话,读者无法明确地判断两位姑娘中谁将结婚,谁将当伴娘。如果我们把易于引起误解的代词所指代的对象加以明确,意思就一目了然了。这个句子可改为:Marywas friendly to my sister because she wanted my sister to be her bridesmaid.

  七、不间断句子

  这个错误的出现受中文意识的影响很大。很多考生在写句子时,句子之间缺乏有效的连接成分。甚至,有的句子写的比较中式化。比如:There are manyways we get to know the outside world.

  分析:这个句子包含了两层完整的意思:“there are many ways”以及“we get to know the outsideworld”。简单地把它们连在一起就不妥当了。

  改为:There are many ways for us to learn about the outside world. 或:There aremany ways through which we can become acquainted with the outside world.

  八、措词毛病

  学生在写作中没有养成良好的推敲,斟酌句子中所选用词的习惯。大部分考生随心所欲,拿来就用,所以作文中用词不当的错误随处可见。如:Theincreasing use of chemical obstacles in agriculture also makes pollution.

  分析:显然,考生把obstacles“障碍”,“障碍物”误作substance“物质”了。另外“the increasinguse”应改为“abusive use”。

  改为:The abusive use of chemical substances in agriculture also causes/leadsto pollution.

  九、累赘

  写句子没有一个多余的词;写段落没有一个无必要的句子。能用单词的不用词组;能用词组的不用从句或句子。比如:In spite of the factthat he is lazy, I like him.

  这里的“the fact that he is lazy”是同谓语从句,我们按照上述“能用词组的不用从句”可以改为:In spite of hislaziness, I like him.

  比如:For the people who are diligent and kind, money is just the thing to beused to buy the thing they need.

  整个句子可以大大简化为:Diligent people use money only to buy what they need.

  十、不连贯

  不连贯是指一个句子前言不对后语,或是结构上不畅通,这也是考生常犯的毛病。比如:The fresh water,it is the mostimportant things of the earth.

  分析:the fresh water与逗号后的it不连贯,it与things在数方面不一致。
