八個可能毀掉你雅思寫作的小細節
一、冠詞的使用
1. 原文:Nowadays, a increasing number ofpeople...
診斷:元音單詞increasing前的不定冠詞應用an而不是a。這樣的錯誤在口語中不容易犯,但寫到紙上時就容易忽視。所以說,寫完的作文不僅要重看,更要“重讀”,才能借助語感揪出這樣的小錯誤。
修改:Nowadays, an increasing number ofpeople...
2. 原文:However, whether the government... on arts is controversial issue.
診斷:issue是可數名詞,但這里既沒有用冠詞又不是復數,顯然是有問題的。
修改:However, whether the government... on arts is a controversial issue.
二、名詞單復數
3. 原文:However, whether the government should allocate fund to public services ...
診斷:fund表示政府撥款的“資金”,此處應該使用復數,表示多筆撥款。
修改:However,whether the government should allocate funds topublic services ...
4. 原文:In my view, public service are vitalto our life, but...
診斷:句子主語public service與謂語are不一致,主語是單數,而謂語是復數用法。此處public services泛指“公共服務”,應用復數。
修改:In my view, public services are vitalto our life, but...
三、動詞詞組用法
5. 原文:Nowadays, [an] increasing number of people concernedabout the enhancement of public services.
診斷:動詞詞組be concernedabout...表示“對……關注”。但這句話中使用時漏掉了be動詞,導致整個句子語法錯誤。
修改:Nowadays,[an] increasing number of people are concerned about the enhancement of public services.
這時候需要注意的是,中括號內單詞[an]表示已在原文中修改的錯誤。下同。
四、近似用法混淆
6. 原文:However, whether the government should allocate fund to publicservices other than waste...
診斷:考生原本想用的應該是rather than,表示“而不是”,卻錯誤地寫成了形式類似的other than,表示“除了……之外”,整句話的意思就改變了。
修改:However,whether the government should allocate fund to public services rather than waste...
五、非謂語動詞用法
7. 原文:However, whether... to public services [rather] than waste money on arts is...
診斷:ratherthan是介詞,后面可接名詞或動名詞形式,但此處考生錯誤地接了動詞原形。
修改:However,whether... to public services [rather] than wasting money on arts is...
8. 原文:In my view... but spending money on arts is definitely not just waste money.
診斷:考生想表達“在藝術上投資絕不僅僅是浪費金錢”,但卻錯誤地用動詞原形waste作表語,暴露了基本功不扎實的問題
修改:In myview... but spending money on arts is definitely not just wasting money.
這里需要注意的是,除了動名詞之外,其他幾種非謂語動詞——動詞不定式、現在分詞、過去分詞等,也是寫作中的重頭戲。如果用得好自然錦上添花,但這些往往也是最容易出錯的部分。
