托福写作考试中常见的扣分点

  在托福考试中,托福写作部分往往会是众多中国考生的一个弱项,因为相对于阅读和听力测试是一种输入性测试(这两部分考察的是考生接受英文信息的能力),托福写作部分则完全是一个输出性测试,它需要考生在具备一定的输入性能力后,用合理的逻辑组织出合理的语言。然而,令很多托福考生写作分数低的原因却是一些小失误。在托福写作考试中我们该如何避免这些小失误呢?下面我们就一起来看下托福写作考试中常见的扣分点,各位考生在备考托福写作的时候一定要引起注意。
  1、托福写作扣分点之用词不当
  学生们写的作文里或多或少都会有一些用词不当的问题,但是要注意的是一些最最基本的错误是不能犯的。
  • In the show, if participators answer twenty problems that the host mentioned correctly,
  they will get five hundreds thousand U.S. dollars as a prize.
  ——problems应改为questions
  2、托福写作扣分点之拼写错误
  这里的拼写错误不是指在考试时候的误打,而是本身对词汇拼写记忆的错误。
  • In conclusion, issue of whether parents are the best teachers is a complex one, requiring
  subjective judgement, consequently, there are no easy or certain answers.
  ——judgement应改为judgment
  3、托福写作扣分点之乱用大词
  First of all, children can earn money from their jobs, although there isn’t too much,
  but they will keep their salary gingerliness.
  这里的gingerliness根本是不知所云。该句子还有以下问题:
  1)该作文题目是讲学生是否应该做兼职,因此children的出现就显得很莫名其妙;
  2)although和but是不能连用的;
  3)指代不明,they不知道是指代前面的什么;
  4、托福写作扣分点之表达中式
  The second argument-it might have been noticed by others-is that in some occasion, it is quite difficult to compare parents to teachers because
  parents are a kind of people, teachers are a kind of vocation.
  句子中划线部分的表达过于中式化。
  5、托福写作扣分点之表意重复
  •They shocked their friends, devastated their families, crushed their best friends.
  前面已经提到了朋友,后面又提到朋友。
  • The show is so compelling but attractive.
  •compelling和attractive是同义词,所以这里这么写就让人不明白。
  6、托福写作扣分点之固定用法错误
  • To some extends, I agree with the author’s general assertion that if parents
  also have a comprehensive sense of professional knowledge.
  ——To some extends应改为To some extent
  7、托福写作扣分点之例证夸张
  • For example, when a doctor faces a patient who has got cancer, the doctor
  cannot tell the truth, for the truth may cause the patient’s immediate death.
  虽然善意的谎言是必要的,但是其功效显然没有这么大。
  8、托福写作扣分点之成分多余
  • According to a comprehensive investigation which is carried out by Chinese
  Academy of Social Sciences shows that there is an increase in the number of
  university students who are taking part-time jobs.
  该句中的shows that是多余的成分。
  9、托福写作扣分点之词性混乱
  • However, the questions such as "Have you ever regretted marrying your
  husband" may be very privacy and embarrassingly.
  句子中的privacy和embarrassingly应该改成private和embarrassing。
  10、托福写作扣分点之时态错误
  托福大作文一般使用现在时态,除了拿过去事件作为例子用过去时态。
  • Some people claimed that news media has enormous influence and is a detrimental creation.
  —— claimed应该改为claim
  以上即为托福写作考试中常见的扣分点,各位考生一定要多加注意,在托福写作考试中尽量避免,预祝各位考生考试成功。
