雅思寫作常見錯誤可能拉低你的成績

如果考前做足了準備，相信大家可以在考場上游刃有餘。雅思考試的備考部分也是很關鍵的，比如寫作部分是大家比較關心的題型，大家在不斷低聲自己寫作能力的前提下，還要注意有些錯誤是不能犯的，因爲它們可能會拉低你的作文成績。

第一個錯誤：逗號之後字母大寫

比如：

Despite a fall in the value of the pound, The UK economy remained strong.

正確的是什麼，想必無需我多說了。

第二個錯誤：用And和But做句首

儘管在一般的寫作中，and和but做句首

是完全沒有問題的。

可到了雅思作文這兒，難免會讓考官覺得，

你的作文很乏味，很單調，很普通，

比如：

The government should decrease the price of train travel. And car tax should be increased.

更加合理的寫法是：

The government should decrease the price of train travel. As well as that, car tax should be decreased.

又或者：

The government should decrease the price of train travel, and car tax should be decreased.

第三個錯誤：使用模糊的數字表達

這絕對是習慣造成的典型問題，

“大約，左右，有些，差不多，等等”

這樣的表達在我們中文十分常見，

可是在雅思作文裏，這麼寫就會讓考官覺得不夠嚴謹，

比如：

This essay will offer some reasons why sports education in schools is important.

合理的寫法是：

This essay will offer two reasons why sports education in schools is important.

第四個錯誤：前後句子內容重疊

不得不說，如果你的文章裏出現這個問題，

那麼你的代詞應該沒怎麼學好。

比如：

One advantage of an increase in the number of people who exercise is a lowering of the obesity rate. When people exercise more, the number of obese people falls. Therefore, regular exercise can cut obesity.

更合理的寫法是：

One advantage of an increase in the number of people who exercise is a lowering of the obesity rate. When people exercise, their bodies burn more calories than when they are sedentary. These calories are taken from the body’s fat stores. Thus, when there is an increase in the amount of physical activity, more people burn through their body fat, causing the rate of obesity to fall.

第五個錯誤：用詞錯誤

單詞使用的精確性，以及前後句子語境，

是造成用詞錯誤的主要原因。

就和前一篇，正式與非正式語氣中提到，

有些表達僅適合正式的寫作，而有些則不。

比如：

Due to a terrible rise in the unemployment rate, over a million people now sadly rely on unemployment benefits.

合理的寫法是：

Due to a large rise in the unemployment rate, over a million people now rely on unemployment benefits.

第六個錯誤：very用法不準確

very出現在雅思作文裏，

難免會讓考官覺得你有些：懶。

有N多個比very好用的單詞，

可以使得句子更貼切，

更富內涵，更形象生動。

比如：

In 1918, there was a very high inflation rate.

合理寫法：

In 1918, there was an extremely high inflation rate.

或者：

in 1918, the inflation rate was the highest in British history.

第七個錯誤：文中使用問句

有些“槓精”會說，有些範文裏不是用了問句嗎?

難道我就不能用?

嗯...你說得對，你想用就用，我建議理智的考生，

儘量不要使用問句。就像高考作文裏，你寫一句：

難道這麼淺顯的道理你都不懂?

你想考官看到怎麼想。

相比問句，你也有100種可以改變它的方法，

比如：

How can the government decrease pollution?

你可以寫：

Citizens are asking how the government can decrease pollution.

第八個錯誤：無力的形容詞

除了詞窮，和懶惰，沒法徹底解釋這個錯誤的原因。

比如：nice, good, bad這些看似正確，

實際卻沒有辦法展現描述作用的形容詞，

都是應該徹底避免的。比如：

Seoul is a good city for tourists.

可以改爲：

Seoul has a lot of facilities for tourists.

第九個錯誤：輕易地使用Get

get通常多見於口語表達。

因爲有太多更精準的動詞可以替代它。

比如：

The CEO was hospitalised after he got pneumonia.

可以改爲：

The CEO was hospitalised after he caught pneumonia.

又或者：

Traditionally, children get presents from their parents on Christmas Day.

可以改爲：

Traditionally, children receive presents from their parents on Christmas Day.

第十個錯誤：毫無意義的重複

這個錯誤有點類似中文裏的，凱旋歸來。

凱旋原本就有勝利歸來的意思。

再加歸來，這個“回”的動作就重複了。

比如：

Students should learn and study English from a young age.

可以改爲：

Students should study English from a young age.

又比如：

Americans from the United States have higher rates of lung cancer.

可以改爲：

People from the United States have higher rates of lung cancer.

第十一個錯誤：使用個人經歷作例子

只能用想到個人經歷做例子了，難道不行嗎?

當然沒有問題，但記住哪怕使用個人例子，

你也要把語氣調整到正式的環境下。

比如：

My parents frequently work late in order to make ends meet, and this has a big impact on the amount of time I get to communicate with them.

改爲：

My parents today are working longer hours in order to sufficiently provide for their children, which is having an enormous impact on the amount available time for face to face communication.

第十二個錯誤：表達過於冗長

怎麼判斷句子寫的冗長?

很簡單，把句子裏單詞一個個去掉，

看哪些去掉後，意思不變就代表：

這個詞多餘了!

舉個例子：

Even if employees engage in their jobs for a long time, they often fail to climb the business ladder, which is regularly the most common goal, therefore, they must face the harsh reality of staying in the same position for years.

改爲：

Even if employees stay in one job for a long time, they will often fail to climb the business ladder.

第十三個錯誤：不使用連接詞

連接詞，除了讓句子語氣更通順，

還有個好處，是讓讀者可以提前判斷

句子之間的邏輯關係。

比如：

Mexicans will prefer Madrid as their most visited city. Americans will most likely go to Paris. Canadians love traveling to Istanbul the most.

改爲：

To begin with, Mexicans will prefer Madrid as their most visited city. In contrast, Americans will most like to go to Paris. Lastly, Canadians love traveling to Istanbul the most.

最後一個：不使用高級詞彙

這個與你積累單詞有很大關係，

同義詞的用法是最佳擴展方法。

動詞，形容詞，詞組搭配是最容易擴展的，

比如：

Recent research done by Harvard University shows that 65% of Americans work more than 50 hours a week.

改爲：

Recent research conducted by Havard University shows that 65% of Americans work more than 50 hours a week.

這些個小錯誤，看似都無傷大雅，可一旦出現若干個，那麼作文的整體水平，就會被無形的壓低。到頭來你會說，明明寫的又對，又能論證，還不跑題，何苦考官總是爲難我過不了7呢?其實答案其實就在這裏了。平日裏，養成一個優秀的寫作習慣，能夠潛移默化的提高你寫作水平。
