考研英语写作一直以来都是广大考研考生在考研英语复习中的一大难点,考场上40分钟的写作,时间非常紧张,好多同学在写完之后就置之不理,导致出现一些基本的语法错误,因此影响整篇文章的质量而被扣分。在此,小编建议大家在写完之后至少要留出两三分钟的时间把文章通读一遍,进行必要的语法修改。今天,我们主要针对常见的考生易犯的英语语法错误,给大家进行写作方面的指导,希望大家都能在写作方便取得理想的成绩。
1. 检查修饰语是否放在正确的位置上。
例1:
a) Without television, people can\\\\\\\\\\\'t get information which comes from other parts of the worldimmediately.
b) Without television, peoplecan\\\\\\\\\\\'t immediately getinformation which comes from other parts of the world.
分析:a) 句子中,immediately 显然放错了位置。是“得到迅速从各地传来的消息”,还是“迅速得到从各地传来的消息”?意思含糊不清。
例2:
a)At the age of six, my father began to give me English lessons.
b)When I was five years old, my father began to give me English lessons.
分析:a) 句子,At the age of six 放在这个位置上,变成了“我父亲六岁的时候”。改变说法,可以解决这个问题。
例 3:
a) To improve one\\\\\\\\\\\'s writing skill,regular practiceis necessary.
b) To improve one\\\\\\\\\\\'s writing skill,onemust make regular practice.
分析:不定式短语的逻辑主语决不是regular practice,为了把逻辑关系表达清楚,要么把不定式短语改成If one wants to improve his writing skill,要么把主句改成one must make regular practice.
2.表示相同的意思,检查是否使用了平行语法结构。
例 4:
a) With the computer, one can doshopping, banking and readat home.
b) With the computer, one can doshopping, banking and readingat home.
分析:can do shopping, banking and read at home, 用语法平行结构来衡量,用动词原形 read是不妥的,为了和 do shopping, do banking 保持结构上平行,接下来的一个内容要用do reading.
例 5:
a) Nowadays, people not onlyeat enough food, but alsoeat better.
b) Nowadays, people not onlyeat more, but alsoeat better.
用 not only...but also, both...and, whether...or, either...or, as well as, along with等能连接两个成分的连词,前后两个成分在结构上要保持一致。用 eat enough food, eat better不如用 eat more, eat better,都用副词。
在限时、紧张的写作中,出现错误,尤其是语言上的错误是不可避免的。如果把这些错误留在那里,不得到改正,就会影响整篇文章的质量。阅卷人虽然不大会按你文章中语言错误的累计数目进行扣分,但错误,尤其是一些幼稚的错误,会给阅卷人员留下不好的印象,从而影响文章的分数。因此,文都教育的英语老师建议大家在写完之后务必要对自己的写作进行检查,修改基本语法错误。
