对于托福写作来说,长句可能会出现更多的错误,考生如果一味最求复杂的句子和高难的语法来争取高分,有可能会得不偿失。其实,一篇简单有力的托福作文,可能更能让评卷老师眼前一亮。
一、选择比较实际实用的单词,不用空洞的词汇
1. 一些空洞的单词或词组根本不能为句子带来任何相关的或重要的信息,完全可以被删掉。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.
这句话当中的when all things are considered和in my opinion都显得多余。完全可以去掉。改为:
Young adults of today live more satisfying lives than their parents.
2. 有些空洞和繁琐的表达方式可以进行替换,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就是一个很典型的繁琐的表达方式的例子,可以替换,简化为下面的表达方式:
Because our grandparents were obligated to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have now.
