在托福寫作考試中,一些空洞的單詞或詞組根本不能為句子帶來任何相關的或重要的信息,完全可以被刪掉。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.
這句話當中的“when all things are considered”和“in my opinion“都顯得多余,完全可以去掉,改為:
Young adults of today live more satisfying lives than their parents.
有些空洞和繁瑣的表達方式可以進行替換,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”就是一個很典型的繁瑣的表達方式的例子,可以替換,簡化為下面的表達方式:
Because our grandparents were obligated to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have now.
避免重復
在托福寫作考試中,盡量避免重復使用同樣的詞匯?;蛘哂械臅r候雖然詞匯沒有重復,但意思卻有重復,這時候可以做一些簡化的工作。例如下面這個例子:
The farm my grandfather grew up on was large in size.
large 對一個farm來說就是size方面的large,所以in size可以去掉,改為:
The farm my grandfather grew up on was large.
以上兩個方面是小編建議大家應該在托福寫作考試中避免的現象,還有很多錯誤是我們在寫托福作文中經常犯的,在以后的文章中小編會一一講解。
