经常有学生抱怨自己的语法基础差,写出来的句子总有一种淡淡的违和感。虽然PTE考试不像雅思考试对于写作卡分那么严重,尤其是总差那么0.5分的学生,及时另辟蹊径是很好的选择。然而毕竟它也是考察语言能力的正规考试,还是要尽力避免一些写作上的语法错误。尤其是在Summarize Written Text中,要求考生在10分钟之内完成对200-300字左右的文章的概括,要在规定的字数(5-75)和时间之内已经要求很高了。 重要的事情一定要说 三遍:
关键是还必须是 一句话! 一句话!一句话!
于是,必然的对于你的语法有很高的要求,毕竟我们都知道句子越长,成分越复杂,犯错误的可能性也就越高。
下面就具体说下在写作众容易犯的语法错误
错误1: 一个句中出现两个以上的动词
错例: Students receive job training can become competitive in the labour market.
这个句子中有两个动词,receive和can become,而一句话中应该只有一个谓语动词。于是改正的话就得添加一个从句结构。
Students who receive job training can become competitive in the labour market;
Students can become competitive in the labour market if they receive skills training.
也可利用ing形式:
Students receiving job training can become competitive in the labour market.
错误2: there be句型中谓语没有随名词改变
错例: There is a number of countries which know that they will soon be underwater if global warming is permitted to continue.
这里There be 结构中的主语是countries, 所以谓语动词要用are.
There are a number of countries which know that they will soon be underwater if global warming is permitted to continue.
错误3:主谓不一致
有时在SWT 中大家要会写一些比较复杂的句式,例如插入成分或同谓语成分。在写作 的过程当中,每每遇到以上几种情况的时候,一定要认清主语,所有的补充内容都是针对主要展开的。
例如: Thomas Edison, one of the most distinguished scientists, is a brilliant inventor.
这里在写完第二个逗号的时候,就应该回过头来看看主语Thomas Edison是单数的第三人称,而不能被插入成分中的scientists所蒙蔽。所以这里的谓语要用is 而不是are.
错例: Cardiopathy, coupled with poor diet, lead to severe diabetes.
这就话中主语为cardiopathy, 谓语应该为单三形式。
Cardiopathy, coupled with poor diet, leads to severe diabetes.
错误4:不及物动词和系动词写了被动语态
happen, appear, disappear, rise, emerge, occur, take place 这些词都没有被动语态。
错例: The accident was similar to the one that was happened last year.
改正: The accident was similar to the one that happened last year.
