SAT寫作要點(diǎn):避免口語化和修飾語不當(dāng)
一、避免使用俚語和口語
盡量避免在正式的寫作中使用俚語和口語,因?yàn)樗鼈兪褂貌⒉黄毡椋詷O易使讀者誤解作者要表達(dá)的意思。例如:
錯(cuò)誤:She plays a wicked game of tennis.
正確:She excels in tennis.
錯(cuò)誤:John has been doing a science for years.
正確:John has been a scientist for years.
錯(cuò)誤:The blackened salmons been one of the restaurants most popular entrees.
正確:The blackened salmon has been one of the restaurants most popular entrees.
稍作思考,你就會(huì)選擇正確的用法。注意要堅(jiān)持使用標(biāo)準(zhǔn)用法,拋棄非正式場(chǎng)合用語以及表述不清晰的縮寫等用法。
二、正確使用修飾語
單詞在句中的位置往往決定該單詞與句中其他單詞的關(guān)系,對(duì)修飾語而言尤其如此。修飾語和被修飾成分應(yīng)在所有格和數(shù)上保持一致。如果修飾語和被修飾成分隔開太遠(yuǎn),則容易導(dǎo)致語意模糊,所以應(yīng)盡量避免出現(xiàn)這種情況。例如:
錯(cuò)誤:Cheung and Martha sat talking about the movie in the office.
正確:Cheung and Martha sat in the office talking about the movie.
