一、冠词的使用
1. 原文:Nowadays, a increasing number ofpeople...
诊断:元音单词increasing前的不定冠词应用an而不是a。这样的错误在口语中不容易犯,但写到纸上时就容易忽视。所以说,写完的作文不仅要重看,更要“重读”,才能借助语感揪出这样的小错误。
修改:Nowadays, an increasing number ofpeople...
2. 原文:However, whether the government... on arts is controversial issue.
诊断:issue是可数名词,但这里既没有用冠词又不是复数,显然是有问题的。
修改:However, whether the government... on arts is a controversial issue.
二、名词单复数
3. 原文:However, whether the government should allocate fund to public services ...
诊断:fund表示政府拨款的“资金”,此处应该使用复数,表示多笔拨款。
修改:However,whether the government should allocate funds topublic services ...
4. 原文:In my view, public service are vitalto our life, but...
诊断:句子主语public service与谓语are不一致,主语是单数,而谓语是复数用法。此处public services泛指“公共服务”,应用复数。
修改:In my view, public services are vitalto our life, but...
三、动词词组用法
5. 原文:Nowadays, [an] increasing number of people concernedabout the enhancement of public services.
诊断:动词词组be concernedabout...表示“对……关注”。但这句话中使用时漏掉了be动词,导致整个句子语法错误。
修改:Nowadays,[an] increasing number of people are concerned about the enhancement of public services.
这时候需要注意的是,中括号内单词[an]表示已在原文中修改的错误。下同。
四、近似用法混淆
6. 原文:However, whether the government should allocate fund to publicservices other than waste...
诊断:考生原本想用的应该是rather than,表示“而不是”,却错误地写成了形式类似的other than,表示“除了……之外”,整句话的意思就改变了。
修改:However,whether the government should allocate fund to public services rather than waste...
五、非谓语动词用法
7. 原文:However, whether... to public services [rather] than waste money on arts is...
诊断:ratherthan是介词,后面可接名词或动名词形式,但此处考生错误地接了动词原形。
修改:However,whether... to public services [rather] than wasting money on arts is...
8. 原文:In my view... but spending money on arts is definitely not just waste money.
诊断:考生想表达“在艺术上投资绝不仅仅是浪费金钱”,但却错误地用动词原形waste作表语,暴露了基本功不扎实的问题
修改:In myview... but spending money on arts is definitely not just wasting money.
这里需要注意的是,除了动名词之外,其他几种非谓语动词——动词不定式、现在分词、过去分词等,也是写作中的重头戏。如果用得好自然锦上添花,但这些往往也是最容易出错的部分。
