如果说单词是句子的灵魂,那句子就是托福作文的基石,而高分句型则是高品质
托福写作的闪光点,可以让整篇托福作文丰富多彩,读起来让人很有兴趣。备考托福写作,考生们不能忽视的就是对于构成文章的各种零件,只有有好的材料才能打造出完美的文章。因此,考生们在备考托福写作时一定要注意一些问题,并尽量避免。
避免空洞的单词和词组
在托福写作考试中,一些空洞的单词或词组根本不能为句子带来任何相关的或重要的信息,完全可以被删掉。比如下面的句子:
When all things are considered, young adults of today live more satisfying lives than those of their parents, in my opinion.
这句话当中的“when all things are considered”和“in my opinion“都显得多余,完全可以去掉,改为:
Young adults of today live more satisfying lives than their parents.
有些空洞和繁琐的表达方式可以进行替换,例如:
Due to the fact that our grandparents were under an obligation to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have at this point in time.
“due to the fact that”就是一个很典型的繁琐的表达方式的例子,可以替换,简化为下面的表达方式:
Because our grandparents were obligated to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have now.
避免重复
在托福写作考试中,尽量避免重复使用同样的词汇。或者有的时候虽然词汇没有重复,但意思却有重复,这时候可以做一些简化的工作。例如下面这个例子:
The farm my grandfather grew up on was large in size.
large 对一个farm来说就是size方面的large,所以in size可以去掉,改为:
The farm my grandfather grew up on was large.
以上两个方面就是津桥小编建议大家应该在托福写作考试中避免的现象,平时多积累一些好的词汇、句子,并且学会灵活运用,相信大家在托福考试中能够取得理想的成绩。
