篇1:关于考研英语写作中常见的错误

1.标点符号错误

标点符号使用错误的现象,在考研英语的小作文中表现的尤为突出。

①称呼后面应该使用逗号,而非句号,且不加标点符号也是错误的,如:Dear Mr Wang

②Yours后面应该加逗号,正确的形式应该是:Yours,

③落款后面不加标点符号,很多同学在写小作文的时候都习惯性的点上一点,但这一点在英文中就是句号的代表。此外,在大作文中也有许多同学出现一句话没有写完,就直接使用句号的情况,这是不对的。

2.单词拼写错误

单词拼写的错误,在阅卷英语老师看来是最不该范的错误。在这块要想获得提高,就只能平时认真的多背单词了。

3.大小写的问题

在写作中,会涉及到首字母大小写的一般有两个地方:

①每一句话的第一个单词,首字母应该大写;

②题目中的第一个单词和最后一个单词的首字母应该大写。而在题目的中间部分,如果是实词,首字母就要大写,如果是虚词,则不用。但是考研英语的大作文是不用写题目的,因而不会涉及到题目中单词首字母大小写的问题。

4.语法问题

①介词使用不当

在一个词组中,具体应该使用什么介词,取决于这个词组的固定搭配,而不是随意而为之。如:

I am writing this letter to express my suggestions about how to improve

students’ physical condition.

“对…提出建议”应该是give suggestions on…,原文中使用介词about并不恰当,不符合常用表达。

②缺少谓语动词

The students in good health.

我们都知道,“主+谓+宾”是一个句子最基本的结构,缺一不可。如果谓语动词是系动词,那这个句子就是典型的“主+系+表”的结构了。上面的这个句子有主语the students,有介词短语in good health,但是很明显缺少系动词,正确的句子形式应该是The students are in good health.

③名词的复数

当名词在句子中表达的是复数的含义的时候,一定要使用它的复数形式,如:

I have some suggestion to you.

在这句话中,前置定语some已经说明了suggestion是复数形式了,应该加-s,suggestions才对。

④情态动词后使用动词原形

First of all, you can organization about ourdoor.

在这个句子中,can是情态动词,后面应该使用动词原形organize,组织户外活动是organize outdoor activitis.这句话的正确表达是First of all, you can organize ourdoor activities.

篇2:英语写作中几种常见错误分析

中国人学英语总是受到汉语的干扰。英语写作是语法概念、词汇知识、修辞手法等交流手段的综合运用。缺乏对英语习惯表达法的了解及缺少写作技巧的基本训练,英语写作中就会出现各种错误。下面笔者将学生作文中最普遍的错误作一归类整理,以便对症下药,排除干扰,用地道的英语表达自己的观点。

一、结构错误

1. There be 句型拖泥带水。如:

There is an old sentence says “Practice makes perfect.”

学生作文中常爱引用一句谚语或格言来开头,于是在There be句型后紧跟着又出现了一个谓语动词。实际上,要表示“常言道”英语中有现成的说法,如:“As the saying goes”,“As a proverb has it”等。还有些学生的作文开头就是“There has different ideas about...”,连基本的“There be”句型也被改造了。

2. 误用平行结构。所谓平行结构,或对称结构(Parallelism),是指用相同的语法结构表示几个意思上密切相关内容的修辞手法。这一修辞手法极其有用,使用得当,可使句子结构紧凑,对称协调,语意鲜明,逻辑性强。但是,许多学生由于对这种修辞手法知之甚少,对其对称照应的特点掌握不好,常常写出一些结构不均衡,文意欠通顺,逻辑混乱的句子。如:

My summer's work proved not only interesting but I also learned much from it.

She has fallen in love with him not because he is handsome but that he is diligent.

3. 出现“悬垂结构”。在一个句子中,修饰语必须清楚地修饰句中某个词或短语,如果它不修饰句中的任何成分,而处于悬浮状态,这样的修饰语即为悬垂结构(Dangling Element)。如:

Climbing up the tower, the whole city came into our view.

(1)悬垂分词

误: Being Sunday, they went for a picnic.

正: It being Sunday, they went for a picnic.

正: As it was Sunday, they went for a picnic.

(2)悬垂不定式

误:To swim properly, a course of instruction was necessary.

正:To swim properly, one needs a course of instruction.

(3)悬垂简式从句

误:When a middle school student, his parents were very strict with him.

正:When he was a middle school student, his parents were very strict with him.

二、意义错误

英语句子的意义错误产生于用词不当,用词不当又产生于不懂词义或片面理解,根子是完全依赖中文字面释义,不顾词性内涵、前后搭配等而张冠李戴。

1. 词性误用。

We all know that fail is the mother of succeed. (fail的名词形式为failure; succeed的名词形式为success)

Make our cities greener is important. Plant trees and flowers is the best measure to obtain the goal.(应改用动名词短语作主语Making...和Planting...)

People can through the Internet to get information. (错把介词through当动词用。宜改为:People can get information through the Internet.)

2. 词语赘用。

词语赘用就是在文章中使用了多余的字(useless words)、或用了大词(big words),雅词(elegant words),形成了废话(dead word),使文章组织不严密,内容模糊不清。如:

Before we began to carry out the open-policy, my home town was a poor, backward, shabby, ugly and undeveloped place. 此句过多地使用了一些带有贬义的形容词,如此描述,使人不能不感到作者似乎对自己的家乡眷恋不足,厌倦有余。为何出现这种词语多余的现象呢?

(1)(语言)心理负担过重。写作时,惟恐所表达的意思不完整,语言不完美,于是就接二连三地使用一些意思相同或相近的词语,结果破坏了句子的简洁性。我们在写作实践中务必用词准确、简练,使所表达的内容清楚明白。

(2)受汉语影响。在汉语写作中,人们经常使用“修饰语+中心词”这一公式,如:“残酷剥削”、“野蛮侵略”。受这种汉语措辞的影响,不少学生写出的英语就显得简练不足。

3. 词语搭配不当。

何为搭配?语言学家JR.Firth(1957)将搭配定义为词汇间的相互关联(You shall know a word by the company it keeps.)。Halliday&Cowie都强调搭配是词语的“共现”。需指出的是词汇之间的搭配基本上是约定俗成的,没有什么道理可讲。英语中的习惯搭配范围很广,种类很多。常见的有:(1)名词和动词的搭配:英语中有些名词常常与某些动词搭配使用。例如:“获得胜利”为win the victory,而“获得知识”则是acquire knowledge。又如:表示“在字典中查单词”,我们可说look up a word in the dictionary,但表示“查字典”却不能说look up a dictionary,而应说refer to a dictionary或consult a dictionary ; (2)形容词和名词的搭配:英语中形容词和名词搭配的现象也很普遍。例如:形容女子美丽,我们常用beautiful或pretty,但形容男子漂亮时,我们则须用handsome或smart。又如:strong和powerful为同义词,我们只能说strong tea和 a powerful car;反之,则不能被接受; (3)动词和副词的习惯搭配:英语中动词和副词的习惯搭配也比比皆是。例如:要表示“笑逐颜开”,一般说smile broadly而不说smile widely,同样,要表示“他大量地出汗”时,可以说:He sweated profusely, 而要表示“他大量地引用本书”时,则须说He drew heavily on the book; (4)介词的一些习惯搭配:英语中有些动词或形容词后、名词前要呼应不同的介词,形成习惯搭配。例如:可以说:Somebody is familiar with something。

三、表达方式错误

懂得了语法,掌握了语义,写起文章来还有表达方式对不对、好不好的问题,在这方面,汉语同样会干扰英语。有的学生的文章生硬晦涩,读起来好象骨鲠在喉,吞不下去,这多半是由于打不破汉语的牢笼。My English base is still very poor. (宜改为:I’m poor at English. / My English is poor.)

Last year an extremely big flood which happen once in scores of years took place in many parts of our country. (宜改为:Last year many parts of China were visited by the worst flood in scores of years.)

This year my listening skills have made much progress.(宜改为:I have made great progress in my listening this year.)

建议:

1. 学习英语受到汉语干扰是必然的,不应埋怨而应努力减少干扰,排除干扰。教师在教学过程中要注意发现这方面的问题,并采取积极有效的措施,满腔热忱地帮助指导学生克服母语干扰的障碍。不妨有针对性地向学生介绍一些基本的翻译知识,引导他们自觉地走出“牛角尖”。

2. 从学生角度看,要在学习过程中不断注意纠正自己在运用英语时依赖汉语的不良习惯。如:学习词汇时,不要简单地和词典上的汉语释义一一对应。词是语音、意义和语法特点三者统一的整体,词又是语句的基本结构单位(陆国强1986)。了解一个词(knowing a word)就要学习它的意义(包括上下文意义和意义关系);词的使用(包括修辞和习语、固定搭配、文体和语意);词的信息(包括词性,前缀和后缀,拼写和发音);这个词的语法(包括名词的可数不可数;动词互补,词组动词;形容词、副词的位置等)。(Harmer,1990)

语言这东西,不下苦功难学好。英语写作没有什么“秘诀”可言,我们必须加强阅读,并在阅读时留心观察,细心模仿。词汇、句型和表达方式见得多了也就熟了,使用时也会信手拈来。Practice makes perfect的道理用在语言学习中似乎是更适用的。只要处处留心,打开思路,就能在实践中一步步克服Chinglish倾向,使自己的英语日益趋于地道、纯正。 (全文完)

3)可数名词与不可数名词,名词的单复数,例如:

误:Large quantities of food have been stored for the winter.

正:Large quantities of food has been stored for the winter.

误:Generally, students’ inner motivation with high expectations from others areessential to their development. (is)

正:Generally, students’ inner motivation with high expectations from others isessential to their development.

4)介词搭配,例如:

误:Mrs. Smith’s wallet was stolen of on her way home.

正:Mrs. Smith’s wallet was stolen from her on her way home.

Mrs. Smith’s wallet was robbed of her on her way home.

误:For my part, I agree to the latter opinion for the following reasons.

正:For my part, I agree with the latter opinion for the following reasons.

误:We agreed to leaving there the next day.

正:We agreed on leaving there the next day.

5) 单词大小写及拼写错误,在写作中,题目的大小写(除冠词、连词和介词外, 其他词原则上都应该第一个字母大写);例如:

误:Human needs and wants

正:Human Needs and Wants

误:He said, “he is going to Shanghai next week”.

正:He said, “He is going to Shanghai next week”.

6)专有名词(人名,地名,书名)和缩写字母要大写;头衔在专有名词前要大写,在专有名词后则小写;例如:

误:Caption smith

正:Caption Smith/Smith, the captain

误:I am writing to recommend you to read Wealth of Nations for the club reading sessions.

正:I am writing to recommend you to read Wealth of Nations for the club reading sessions.

7)分清及物动词与不及物动词,例如:

误:He arrived Paris the day before yesterday.

正:He reached Paris the day before yesterday.

8)被动语态与主动语态,例如:

误:The question is hard to be understood.

正:The question is hard to understand.

9 )词类混淆,将动词或形容词误作名词用,将名词或动词误作形容词用等。例如:

误:It's becoming difficulty to remember things for her.

正:It's becoming difficult to remember things for her.

误:There was no difficult in persuading her.

正:There was no difficulty in persuading her.

10)冠词,情态动词,介词,代词等方面的应用,例如:

误:Favorable attitude to the life can broaden our experience and enhance our vigor then to create a enthusiastic environment for our society.

正:Favorable attitude to the life can broaden our experience and enhance our vigor then to create an enthusiastic environment for our society.

误:As a result, they can paid for the expense to do that kind of things.

正:As a result, they can pay for the expense to do that kind of things.

11) 标点符号,写文章时,切忌从头到尾只用逗号的现象,每完成一句话,需要正确的使用标点符号来标注出。同时也要注意正确使用逗号和分号。例如:

误:Some people use the computer to help them to complete their work, such as the tank workers, while some people use the computer to play games, for example, some old person like to play game on computer.

正:Some people use the computer to help them to complete their work. Such as the tank workers. While some people use the computer to play games. For example, some old person like to play game on computer.

篇4:考研英语写作常见错误

1. 审题不清,偏离主题。在考场上,许多考生处于时间的考虑,在在着手做写作部分时并未审清题目,且无构思的概念。这样的考生往往无从下笔或者毫无逻辑的开始着手写作,结果不是文不对题就是时间已过半,只好草草收场。

2. 准备工作不充分,考场慌乱易出错。许多考生都执着于考研写作的万能句子和及黄金模版,但部分考生对这些万能句子和模板复习时间及精力的投入不足,造成考场上各种慌乱中出现的错误。 且部分考生未能将已背会的万能句子灵活运用,造成复习知识的提取失败。

3. 汉语思维,中式英语。写作考查学生英语综合水平及能力,对学生综合能力要求较高。有的考生的英语遣词造句能力较差,在紧张的考场环境中,容易将汉语思维构思整篇写作。往往造成词不达意,思维表达混乱。

4. 固定搭配和用词习惯不当。英语语言的一大特点就是其丰富的习惯用语和固定搭配。英语中有大量的动词短语,介词短语,形容词短语,例如,部分考生经常会将 “spend much time in ...”(花费很多时间做某事)写成 “take much time in ...”; 再如,“帮某人一个忙”、“给某人恩惠” 应是“ do sb. a favour ”,部分考生可能会写成 “give sb a favour”。英语中的固定搭配及习惯用法有时看起来不符合逻辑,但却是地道用法。

5. 词汇量小,创造单词。平时词汇积累不够,能够运用在写作中的词汇量太少,好不容易知道如何运用但又无法正确拼写出来,结果只能用汉语拼音替代。除了部分词汇的拼写错误外,考生有时还会想当然而为之的自己“创造”单词。曾经就有考生将长城“The Great Wall”写成“ChangCheng”。这样在写作上“肆意妄为”,必然会导致成绩不太理想。

6. 句子成分逻辑混乱。由于受到母语结构的影响,考生易对句子成分的安排位置不当而造成逻辑混乱。例如,对句子主谓语及状语之间的位置安排不妥而造成的逻辑混乱:Our English class often told stories. 应改为:We often told stories in our English class。

7. 缺少及承上启下的句子和段落。文章的前后逻辑关系需要过渡词及过渡段落的使用。文章的逻辑性关乎着整篇文章的结构严谨,过渡词和过渡段落的使用可以使文章表达更合乎逻辑,文章紧凑。

There are at least three good reasons for this phenomenon. The spreading of foreign culture in our country in recent years may be the min reason. Many young people in our modern society have an open mind. Consequently, they are willing to accept new things. A lot of people have become richer and richer. They can pay for the expense to do that kind of things. There may be other reasons, but it is generally believed that the above mentioned reasons are commonly acceptable.

采用适当关联词,改进为:

There are at least three good reasons for this phenomenon. In the first place, the spreading of foreign culture in our country in recent years may be the min reason. Secondly, many young people in our modern society have an open mind. Consequently, they are willing to accept new things. Last but not least, a lot of people have become richer and richer. As result, they can pay for the expense to do that kind of things. There may be other reasons, but it is generally believed that the above mentioned reasons are commonly acceptable.

考研英语写作常见错误解析:

1) 主谓一致是考生必须在写作中要注意到的部分,例如:

误:A number of boy students is football fans.

正:A number of boy students are football fans.

误:The number of the students in this school have been increasing these years.

正:The number of the students in this school has been increasing these years.

误:The construction of the two new railway lines have been completed by now.

正:The construction of the two new railway lines has been completed by now.

主谓一致中的就近一致,例如:

误: There are a rubber and two pencils in the box.

正: There is a rubber and two pencils in the box.

误: There is a wide variety of people on the earth.

正: There are a wide variety of people on the earth.

2)时态语态,在不同的写作要求中,文章时态的使用必须要谨慎。

描述图画应该用进行时:

误:As is shown in the picture, there are two handicapped individuals bind their disabled legs together and hold fast to each other’s shoulders, with their crutches left behind each other.

正:As is shown in the picture, there are two handicapped individuals binding their disabled legs together and holding fast to each other’s shoulders, with their crutches left behind each other.

描述图表应该用过去时:

误:As is illustrated by the chart, mobile-phone subscription number is increasing to 8 times from to .

正:As is illustrated by the chart, mobile-phone subscription number increased to 8 times from 2000 to 2008.

误:This bar chart indicates different market shares of automobiles of three types of brand between 2008 and . In 2008, cars with Japanese brands top the three types of vehicles, accounting for 35% of the market. The years of 2009 has witnessed a huge change that Chinese brands hit 32% of the auto market, while cars with Japanese and American brands take 25% and 15% of the whole market respectively.

正:This bar chart indicates different market shares of automobiles of three types of brand between 2008 and 2009. In 2008, cars with Japanese brands topped the three types of vehicles, accounting for 35% of the market. The years of 2009 has witnessed a huge change that Chinese brands hit 32% of the auto market, while cars with Japanese and American brands took 25% and 15% of the whole market respectively.

在预测趋势的文章中,需要用一般将来时:

误:I believe then the relationship between people is harmonious and our society is a better place for us in the future.

正:I believe then the relationship between people will be harmonious and our society will be a better place for us in the future.

篇5:高考英语作文写作常见错误

形式多为:不及物动词误用被动形式,不规则动词的过去分词变化拼写错误,该用被动语态的地方没有用被动语态。如:

× I got a message that a summer camp will be hold in Singapore.

√ I got a message that a summer camp will be held in Singapore.

× I hope I will accept as a member of your summer cam p.

√ I hope I will be accepted as a member of your summer camp.

对策:平时有意识地进行主、被动语态方面的转换练习,熟记不规则动词的过去分词变化形式。写作时,要确保运用被动形式的是及物动词,检查动词的过去分词形式是否写错,并思考一下此处语态应用是否合适。

篇6:高考英语作文写作常见错误

表现为:主谓不一致、指代不一致、单复数不一致、比较对象不一致、时态不一致等方面。如:

× In the bedroom there are a bed, a desk and a chair.

√ In the bedroom there is a bed, a desk and a chair.

× The shoes are very beautiful. I think you will like it.

√ The shoes are very beautiful. I think you will like them .

对策:日常学习中,要多留心各种特殊的语法关系,注意培养英语语感。写作完成后,只要认真检查,就可以避免类似错误的出现。

篇7:英语写作常见错误与分析

英语写作常见错误与分析

如何写好四六级英语作文英语写作常见错误与分析下面我们对一些在英语写作中典型的病句实例逐一加以剖析. 一. 不一致(Disagreements)所谓不一致不光指主谓不一致,它还包括了数的不一致 时态不一致及代词不一 致等.例1. When one have money ,he can do what he want to .(人一旦有了钱,他就能想干什么就干什么.)剖析:one是单数第三人称,因而本句的have应改为has ;同理,want应改为wants.本句是典型的主谓不一致.改为: Once one has money ,he can do what he wants (to do) 二. 修饰语错位(Misplaced Modifiers)英语与汉语不同,同一个修饰语置于句子不同的位置,句子的含义可能引起变化.对于这一点中国学生往往没有引起足够的重视,因而造成了不必要的误解.例1. I believe I can do it well and I will better know the world outside the campus. 剖析:better位置不当,应置于句末. 三. 句子不完整(Sentence Fragments)在口语中,交际双方可借助手势语气上下文等,不完整的句子完全可以被理解.可是书面语就不同了,句子结构不完整会令意思表达不清,这种情况常常发生在主句写完以后,笔者又想加些补充说明时发生.例1. There are many ways to know the society. For example by TV ,radio ,newspaper and so on . 剖析:本句后半部分"for example by TV ,radio ,newspaper and so on .”不是一个完整的句子,仅为一些不连贯的.词语,不能独立成句.改为:There are many ways to know society ,for example ,by TV ,radio ,and newspaper. 四. 悬垂修饰语(Dangling Modifiers)所谓悬垂修饰语是指句首的短语与后面句子的逻辑关系混乱不清.例如:At the age of ten, my grandfather died. 这句中"at the age of ten"只点出十岁时,但没有说明” 谁”十岁时.按一般推理不可能是my grandfather, 如果我们把这个悬垂修饰语改明确一点,全句就不那么费解了.改为:When I was ten, my grandfather died.例1. To do well in college, good grades are essential.剖析:句中不定式短语 “to do well in college” 的逻辑主语不清楚.改为:To do well in college, a student needs good grades. 五. 词性误用(Misuse of Parts of Speech)“词性误用”常表现为:介词当动词用;形容词当副词用;名词当动词用等.例1. None can negative the importance of money.剖析:negative 系形容词,误作动词。改为:None can deny the importance of money. 六. 指代不清(Ambiguous Reference of Pronouns)指代不清主要讲的是代词与被指代的人或物关系不清,或者先后所用的代词不一致。试看下面这一句:Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted her to be her bridesmaid.(玛丽和我姐姐很要好,因为她要她做她的伴娘。)读完上面这一句话,读者无法明确地判断两位姑娘中谁将结婚,谁将当伴娘。如果我们把易于引起误解的代词的所指对象加以明确,意思就一目了然了。这个句子可改为:Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted my sister to be her bridesmaid
