雅思写作常见用词错误解析
雅思写作常见用词错误解析
一、such as与for example的混用
咱们知道，在表明举比如的时分，such as与like是彻底同等的，如：Wild flowers such as/like orchids and primroses are becoming rare.
但是同学们关于such as、for example 的掌握仍是不行精确。咱们都知道，后者接语句前者接词语表明举比如。所以就有了下面的写法：
There is a similar word in many languages, such as in French and Italian.
这儿的such as改为for example为好，由于“in French and Italian”其实是“there is a similar word in French and Italian”的简化，所以要用for example来引出比如。再来看几个相似的比如：
It is possible to combine computer science with other subjects, for example physics.
二、assume 及claim 运用不行精确
咱们知道，think, assume, claim是谈论文中常用引出观念的动词。在实践作文中，同学们通常以为几个词的意思是一样的，彻底可以代换，所以拿过来就用。乃至还有同学把consider也拿过来与之混用。咱们首要仍是从界说来看这几个词的不一样：
Think: to have opinion or belief about sth
翻译为“以为”，通常接宾语从句来表达比较断定的观念。
Assume: to think or accept that sth is true but without having proof of it.
翻译为“假定、假定”，是不是有现实依据是不断定的。
Claim: to say sth is true although it has not been proved and other people may not believe it.
翻译为“宣称”，用这个词通常意味着不附和紧跟其后的观念，所以很少用作‘I claim that…"
Scientist are claiming a breakthrough in the fight against cancer, but in fact …
所以“It is claimed that”通常翻译为“有报导称。。。”。和“it is reported that ”的差异在于后者翻译为“据报导”，通常代表着作者附和陈述的内容。
Consider: to think about sth carefully, especially in order to make a decision
翻译为“思考”，通常不用作引出观念，看个比如：
We are considering buying a new car。
所以，千万不要在雅思大作文的榜首段(观念表达段)就由于用词掌握禁绝而导致对整篇文章的低分印象。
三、介词运用过错
1、通常介词的误用
通常表现为固定调配过错，如常把provide sb with sth用成provide sb sth; be satisfied with用成be satisfied for等等，尽管这么的过错看似无伤大雅，但在考官眼里即是影响顺利阅览的，当然会影响终究成果。处理的方法简略而陈旧：把多见的固定调配紧记于心，问题天然就处理了。
2、 “to”作为介词的误用
“to”最多见的用法是以动词不定式符号的方法呈现的，所以同学们也现已习惯了“to do”的固定调配。关于一些如walk to me， to the left等介词to表方向等多见用法通常也不会呈现过错。但是关于与动词调配的介词to就会常常犯错：
如：More and more students have taken to depend on their parents to make decision for them。
这儿的“take to“means “to begin to do sth as a habit”其中”to“为介词，所以后边只能接名词或相当于名词的词，如动名词。所以句中depend on 应改为“depending on”。“take to”的另一个常用用法也需要紧记：
He hasn’t taken to his new school. (这儿”take to” means “to start liking sb or sth”)
Prefer A to B中的“to”也是介词，会有prefer doing sth to doing sth/ prefer sth to sth else，别的，“prefer to do sth rather than do sth”中的“to”但是真实的不定式符号。
相似的常用用法请同学们紧记：
Be used to doing
Adapt to doing
Adjust to doing
prefer doing sth. to doing sth。
Be accustomed to doing
See to doing 等等，请注意平常细心堆集。
四、表“主张”的词汇后边忘记用虚拟从句
这是摘自学生雅思作文中的一个病句：I suggest he continues his study instead of working after graduation from high school.
由于"suggest"翻译为“主张”，所以后边的从句应该用虚拟语气，句中“continues”有些应该改为“(should) continue”。
在此，提醒您，一定要紧记以下多见表“主张”的词汇，并且要记住这些词接从句时要用虚拟语气：
Recommend， suggest， advise
五、compare与contrast的误用
咱们先从两者的界说下手来看两者的差异。 Compare的界说为：to examine people or things to see how they are similar or different. Contrast的界说为：to compare two or more things to show the difference between them. 由界说不难看出前者侧重于找到两个或多个事物的异同，而后者则侧重于它们的不一样。
看个例句：
It is interesting to compare their situations to ours./It is interesting to contrast their situations to ours.
前一句翻译为：比照一下咱们的状况与他们的状况会很风趣。
后一句的翻译为：咱们的状况与他们的状况有很大的不一样，这很风趣。
再看一个引自OXFORD ADBANCED LEARNER’S DICTIONARY的比如：
There is an obvious contrast between the culture of East and West.
The company lost $7 million in contrast to a profit of $6.2 million a year earlier.
When you look at their new system， ours seems very old-fashioned by contrast.
不难发现，Compare翻译为“与。。。比较”而contrast可译为“显着不一样的是。。。”，切记这种翻译方法就不会用错互相了。
