在UKiset创意写作考试中,出卷人会给一个值得你发表言论的话题,并且此话题是在你年龄能力范围之内的。在写作期间,考生必须有逻辑地进行写作,提供相关且有力的论据来支持你的观点。今天课窝考试网书说说关于UKiset写作低分的十大原因。
1.不一致(Disagreements)
(1)所谓不一致不光指主谓不一致,它还包括了数的不一致、时态不一致及代词不一致等。
例:When one have money, he can do what he want to。
(人一旦有了钱,他就能想干什么就干什么。)剖析:one是单数第三人称,因而本句的have应改为has;同理,want应改为wants。本句是典型的主谓不一致。
改为:Once one has money, he can do what he wants (to do).
(2)在中文的动词形式中,不管是:你,我,他、她、它,动词形式都一样。然而在英文中,你我、TA的动词形式不同。
I do; you do; she does; he does; it does.

例如:
a. Intelligence leads to success.
常见错误写法:
Intelligence lead to success.
b. The professor provides great opportunities for students to expand their horizons.
常见错误写法:
The professor provide great opportunities for students….
2.修饰语错位(Misplaced Modifiers)
英语与汉语不同,同一个修饰语置于句子不同的位置,句子的含义可能引起变化。对于这一点中国学生往往没有引起足够的重视,因而造成了不必要的误解。
例:I believe I can do it well and I will better know the world outside the campus。
剖析:better位置不当,应置于句末。
3.句子不完整(Sentence Fragments)
如果说主谓不一致的问题是因为同学们粗心,经常忘了动词三单,那么句子不完整这个错误就是属于同学们根本没有sense,不知道啥叫一个句子的完整,为啥自己写的就不完整。
什么样的句子是完整的?
一个主语+一个谓语已经可以构成最简单的完整句子。
举个最简单的例子
“我愿意”=“I do”
这个“I do”就已经是一个简单完整的句子了。
缺主语,或缺谓语,不能构成一个完整的句子。
a. 缺谓语
例如:
The society develops rapidly.
The society 是主语,
develops是谓语,
此时这个句子 就是完整的。
常见的错误写法:
The society developing rapidly.
此时这个句子是缺谓语的。
我们需要改写成:
The society develops rapidly.或 The society is developing rapidly.
b. 出现两个或两个以上主谓结构
一个句子有且只能有一个主谓结构。
“我干,他不干”
这句话正确的表达方法是:I do, but he does not. 或: I do. He does not.
然而常见的错误形式是:I do, he does not.
此时这句话出现了两个主语:I, he.那么这句话肯定就是错误,我们需要用连接词but隔开,或直接句号后另起一句话。
我们举一个难一点的例子:
Some people agree with the first statement, I disagree with it.
这种错误的表达常见于同学们的写作第一段。
这句话出现了两个主语:Some people; I.
出现了两个谓语:agree; disagree.
按照我们刚才已经讲过的,一句话不能出现两个主语判断,这句话是有问题的。
正确的写法是:
Some people agree with the first statement. However, I disagree with it.
或:Some people agree with the first statement, but I disagree with it.
c.写作中的书面语,句子结构不完整会令意思表达不清,这种情况常常发生在主句写完以后
例:There are many ways to know the society. For example by TV, radio, newspaper and so on。
剖析:本句后半部分“for example by TV, radio, newspaper and so on 。”不是一个完整的句子,仅为一些不连贯的词语,不能独立成句。
改为:There are many ways to know society, for example, by TV, radio and newspaper。
4.悬垂修饰语(Dangling Modifiers)
所谓悬垂修饰语是指句首的短语与后面句子的逻辑关系混乱不清。
例如:At the age of ten, my grandfather died. 这句中“at the age of ten”只点出十岁时,但没有说明“谁”十岁时。按一般推理不可能是my grandfather,如果我们把这个悬垂修饰语改明确一点,全句就不那么费解了。
改为:When I was ten, my grandfather died。
例:To do well in college, good grades are essential。
剖析:句中不定式短语“to do well in college”的逻辑主语不清楚。
改为:To do well in college, a student needs good grades。
5.词性误用(Misuse of Parts of Speech)
“词性误用”常表现为:介词当动词用;形容词当副词用;名词当动词用等。
例:None can negative the importance of money。
剖析:negative系形容词,误作动词。
改为:None can deny the importance of money。
6.指代不清(Ambiguous Reference of Pronouns)
指代不清主要讲的是代词与被指代的人或物关系不清,或者先后所用的代词不一致。试看下面这一句:
Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted her to be her bridesmaid。
(玛丽和我姐姐很要好,因为她要她做她的伴娘。)
读完上面这一句话,读者无法明确地判断两位姑娘中谁将结婚,谁将当伴娘。如果我们在写作中把易于引起误解的代词的所指对象加以明确,意思就一目了然了。
这个句子可改为:Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted my sister to be her bridesmaid。
例:And we can also know the society by serving it yourself。
剖析:句中人称代词we 和反身代词yourself指代不一致。
改为:We can also know society by serving it ourselves。
7.不间断句子(Run-on Sentences)
什么叫run-on sentence?请看下面的例句。
例:There are many ways we get to know the outside world。
剖析:这个句子包含了两层完整的意思:“There are many ways。”以及“We get to know the outside world。”。简单地把它们连在一起就不妥当了。
改为:There are many ways for us to learn about the outside world. 或:There are many ways through which we can become acquainted with the outside world。
8.措词毛病(Troubles in Diction)
例:The increasing use of chemical obstacles in agriculture also makes pollution。
(农业方面化学物质使用的不断增加也造成了污染。)
剖析:显然,考生把obstacles“障碍”,“障碍物”误作substance“物质”了。另外“the increasing use (不断增加的使用)”应改为“abusive use (滥用)”。
改为:The abusive use of chemical substances in agriculture also causes/leads to pollution.
9.忽视平行结构
我们常用逗号,或连接词如:and,not only…but also…来连接两边平行的一些单词或句子。此时逗号及连接词左右两边连接的内容,需要形式平行,如名词和名词平行,形容词与形容词平行,动词与动词平行。
例如:
a. Expensive handmade items are creative and artistic.
此处,creative和artistic都是形容词,是正确的平行结构。
b. Working out and taking a rest are the best ways to maintain health.
此处working out和taking a rest是动名词做主语,形式一致,是正确的平行结构。
而同学们常犯的错误是:
working out and take a rest …此处结构就出现了错误。
c. The media gives us information and tells us the truth.
此处gives, tells 结构一致,保持平行。
常见错误写法:
the media gives us information and telling us the truth.
10.冠词使用错误
a. 不定冠词:a/an
我想吃一个苹果
I want to eat an apple.
常见错误:I want to eat apple.
b. 定冠词:the
例如:
I got a letter yesterday. The letter was sent by my mom.
c. 不使用冠词
例如:
Play football
Have lunch
Go home
By car
