托福写作不能犯的错误（1）

 　　1.结构不平行　例：I was¹ able² to raise³ my TOEFL score⁴ by studying hard and I read lots of　books.　当使用连词将一系列的单词联接起来的时候，应当使用词性相同或同一类型的短语。

　　2.不知所云　例：Many companies⁵ began using computers mouth.

　　3.段落过长,不分段,主语与动词一致问题　She are a good friend of mine that I has known⁶ for a　long time.　主语和动词在数方面不一致。

　　4.句子别扭　We heated⁷ the soup in the microwave⁸ for too long and the shape of the container⁹ changed.　措辞过长或不清。换言之，句子显得滑稽可笑。

　　5.不要使用缩写　在正式的写作中不要使用缩写形式(can"t，don"t，it"s，we"ll，they"ve等等)　，而应当使用单词的完整形式　(cannot，do not，it is，we will，they have等等)。

　　6.关联词语重复　Since¹⁰ I want to go to a good school,therefore I am trying to raise my test　scores¹¹.　不能在该句的主要主语和主要动词前使用连词。

　　7.句子不完整　Many students have a hard time passing all the tests to get into college¹². For example, my friend in high school.　句子没有主要主语或主要动词，因为其实它应是一个从句。这是一个非常常见的错误，修改的方法是将两个句子连接起来。

　　8.不要使用get　 When I got¹³ home, I got tired, so I got a book and got into bed.　Get太不正式，意思也过于含糊，不适合用在正式的场合。应将get改为一个更加具体的单词，如become, receive¹⁴,　find, achieve¹⁵, 等等。

　　9.书写难以辨认,信息不正确　I would¹⁶ like to study in America because all modern¹⁷ technology¹⁸　originated¹⁹ there.　传的信息不正确，或者让人听起来觉得可能不正确(如果确实是正确的，应当解释为什么这样，因为读者不认为是正确的)。上述例句中，all的意思是百分之百;我们不能绝对地说每一件新东西都是从美国诞生的。为保险起见，应当使用many或most。非英语单词Computers are very helpful²⁰ and　advantageable. 尽管看起来象个单词，其实不是，至少不是个英文单词。使用这个单词的另一种形式。

　　10.介词多余　I would like to discuss²¹ about something important²² that you mentioned²³ about to　me during²⁴ yesterday. We went to downtown²⁵ yesterday to buy a watch. When I first came²⁶ to the US,　I did²⁷ not have a lot of friends in here. In class, my classmate never mentioned about her　husband²⁸.　在表示这种意思时此单词不能与介词连用。这种情况常见于downtown，home，there，here等词。这些词语在英语中是副词而非名词，因而不能在它们前面添加介词。

　　11.跑题或不相关　There are many reasons²⁹ to buy a car, preferably a nice car.　这个意思与文章的主题无关。

　　12.陈词滥调　It is okay³⁰ for children to fail³¹ sometimes.　所表达的意思很普通　大多数人都已经知道到了，因而就没有必要再说出来。
