托福口语典型错误举例(在线收听

   My teacher gave interesting assignments and motivating the students.

  很显然,这属于混用语法结构的一个典型错误。这会使句子产生歧义:难道是说My teacher gave interesting and motivating assignments to the students? 因为本句中 interesting和motivating 是平行结构.
  或者是My teacher gave interesting assignments and motivated the students? 因为亦可以理解成gave和 motivated是平行结构.所以错误使用语法会带来许多意想不到的麻烦。
  当我们重复使用一个短语或单词的时候,不仅会给人以词汇量过小的感觉,有时甚至也会造成误解。我们来看一个例子:
  My teacher wrote the assignment on the chalkboard. The assignment was on the chalkboard until the teacher erased the assignment after we had all done the assignment.事实上这句话的观点会更加清晰,如果我们将重复的词替换为其他表达的话。我们再来看看改进后的表达:
  My teacher wrote the assignment on the chalkboard. She erased the board after we had all completed the task.
  其中 assignment 被替换为 task; teacher 变为了she; chalkboard 被改为了board. 不但句子显得更加生动活泼不刻板,信息量也比原来要多了。
  避免新托福口语考试的典型错误,能够做到举一反三,灵活应用,相信托福口语备考中的其他问题就能迎刃而解了。
