1.冠词问题主要错误类型:(1)缺少定冠词或不定冠词,因为中文是没有冠词的,当我们用汉语思维来写英语句子时,很容易忽略冠词。
如The this that,those these, an ,aEg. Police stopped me for speeding driving the other day.The police stopped me for speeding driving the other day.(2)专用名词前加冠词,但是一些专用名词,如国名,地名,专业术语等是不能加名词的。
Eg. The SEU is one of the most prestigious universities in China.SEU is one of the most prestigious universities in China.(3)定冠词和不定冠词的混淆。
a) 序数词前冠词的使用问题。
强调顺序时用定冠词;当不强调顺序,而是表示“又,还,再”时用不定冠词。
Eg. I was full when I had the first cake.I had a second cake in the request of the welcomed hostess.b) 姓氏前冠词的使用问题。
the+姓氏,表示一家人或夫妇;a+姓氏,表示某个姓什么的人。
Eg. Could you show me the way to the Warrens,please?--Sorry,we don't have a Warren in this town.2.单复数问题主要错误类型:(1)主谓单复数不一致。
a) 主语由复杂的成分构成。
例如用and 连接两个名词,明主语是复数主语,谓语动词也应该使用复数;但是当名词前面有了every,no这样的词的时候,虽然由and,但是谓语动词也应该使用单数Eg. Jim and Jack are going to play basketball.Every teacher and (every) student is going to attend the meeting.(from: /b/4104863.html)b)可能是主谓之间插入了很多复杂的成分,比如这些成分可能是主语是复数的从句,从而干扰了我们的思维。

其实规则很简单:将标点符号放在词语的尾字母后,然后再空一格。
这里是一些例子:They visited Paris,London,Berlin and New York. I'd like to have some pasta , and a steak.他们去了巴黎、伦敦、柏林和纽约。
我想吃些意大利面和牛排。
正确的标点使用:They visited Paris, London, Berlin and New York. I'd like to have some pasta, and a steak.写作时最容易犯的错误2. Common Mistakes in English 英语中常见的错误我承认,事实上错误不止一个。
但是,英语中有许多都是常见的错误。
你要确保,自己能够通过这些常见的英语错误获得更多详细的.信息。
这里列出了三个英语写作中最常见的错误:•It's or Its - It's = it is / Its = possessive form. Remember when you see an apostrophe (') there is a missing verb!所有格形式。
记住,当你看到撇号(‘)时,要知道这里是省略了一个动词!•Then or Than - 'Than' is used in the comparative form (It's bigger than my house!) 'Then' is used as a time expression (First you do this. Then you do that.)than用于比较级中(它比我的房子还大!)then 用作时间表达(你先做这个,然后再做那个。
简析学生英语写作中的常见错误在英语学习中,中国学生由于受母语的影响,常常会不自觉地站在汉语的角度去思考所写英语是否正确,因此在英语写作时会经常出现表达上的错误。
下面就一些常见错误,探讨一下英汉上的差异。
一.语法错误(一)介词使用错误1)前天我们坐她的车去北京。
(误)We went to Beijing by her car the day before yesterday.(正)We went to Beijing in her car the day before yesterday.介词by用来表达交通工具时,后面必须没有冠词或所有格修饰的名词。
如by ship,by plane。
所以要强调“乘她的车”的时候,就要用介词in。
2)我们学习英语非常重要。
(误)It is importment of us to learn English...(正)It is importment for us to learn English.It is adj for sb to do sth.. 前面的形容词通常是不定式所指的事给予评论。
如It is necessary for us to get up.但在It is adj of sb.to do sth.句型中,介词前面的形容词通常是表示某人的特质或性格等主观的东西。
(二)时态使用错误收到你的来信我很高兴。
(误)I am glad to hear from you.(正)I was glad to hear from you.虽然有些情况发生的时间不很清楚,但实际上过去某时发生的,应当用过去时态。
汉语动词无时态变化,但英语中动词的时态变化却很多。
(三)形容词前后置错误出席的人都同意他的建议。
(误)The present persons agreed to his plan.(正)The persons present agreed to his plan.在英语中有些形容词可置名词中心词的前或后,其意义不变,但有的形容词就不同。
英语句子写作中常见典型错误任何一个句子,尤其是书面语的表达,首先要做到合乎语法规范,如主谓结构完整、主谓一致、正确的时态、语态等。
下面,我们就把句子中最常见的语法错误罗列出来,供大家参考借鉴。
1.不一致所谓不一致不仅指主谓不一致,它还包括数的不一致,时态不一致,代词不一致等。
e.g. 1) When one have money, he can do what he want to.此句是典型的主谓不一致。
When one has money, he can do what he wants to.e.g. 2)A series debates between the two lecturers were scheduled for the next weekend. (主谓不一致常出现在主语离谓语较远的时候。
)本句的主语是series而不是debates或lectures, 因此谓语应为单数形式,也就是应把were改为was.A series debates between the two lecturers was scheduled for the next weekend.时态不一致。
e.g. 3) This great loss had killed Mrs. White, but actually this free her from her husband.This great loss had killed Mrs. White, but actually this freed her from her husband.比较对象不一致。
e.g. 4) The average life span in the 1980’s was much longer than 1880’s.The average life span in the 1980’s was much longer than in the 1880’s.指代不一致e.g. 5) And we can also know the society by serving it yourself.And we can also know the society by serving it ourselves.2.2. 修饰语错位或错误英语与汉语不同,同一个修饰语置于句子的不同位置,句子含义可能引起变化。
The Most Common Habits from more than 200 English Papers written by Graduate Chinese Engineering StudentsBy Felicia BrittmanThis paper presents some of the most common Chinese-English habits observed from over two hundred English technical papers by Chinese writers. The habits are explained and in most cases, example text from an actual paper is given along with preferred text. An attempt is made to explain how to correct and prevent such mistakes. In some cases a possible explanation of why the habit occurs is also given. This paper can serve as an individual guide to editing technical papers especially when a native English-speaking editor is unavailable.IntroductionMost Chinese universities require their doctoral and master candidates in technical and scientific fields to publish at least one English paper in an international journal as a degree requirement. However, many factors make this task difficult to accomplish. First, previous English studies may not have focused enough on writing, let alone technical writing. Current studies may not include English, causing the writers English fluency level to decline. Second, most writers have never lived in an English-speaking country. Third, due to the special aspects of technical writing, even native English-speaking engineering students have a technical writing course as part of their study.Too often, students’ papers are returned unaccepted because of poor English. If available, students may have their papers edited by a native English speaker. However, this can get expensive for a department that has many students with each paper typically needing to be edited twice. Hiring someone to edit papers is difficult, costly and only puts a patch over the problem. A native English speaker can do a good job at getting rid of most of the grammatical mistakes. However, if this person does not have a technical background, particularly in the area of the papers he is editing, he is unable to get rid of all of the mistakes and make sure that the meaning is clear. He cannot recognize the incorrect translation of technical terms for which there is a standard word. Such mistakes will not be picked up by the processor’s spelling and grammar checker. In addition, if they are not familiar with the topic or field, they may not grasp the meaning of the entire article and fail to make critical edits.Hiring a person with a technical background similar to that of the papers being edited is a better option. Nevertheless, while a person with a technical background may be able to edit the paper sufficiently, he may not be able to explain to the writer how to prevent such mistakes in the future. Besides, it is difficult for most Chinese universities to hire such staff simply for editing. Universities may consider inviting a visiting scholar who will edit papers in addition to doing research or teaching as part of an exchange.Although editing may be the fastest way to publish papers, it does little in the way of teaching the writers how to prevent common mistakes and colloquial habits that prevent a clear understanding of the writer’s ideas. Writers who have already obtained animpressing command of the English language can only truly benefit if they are made aware of their common mistakes and colloquial habits and how to prevent them.PurposeThe purpose of this report is to introduce the most common habits in Chinese-English writing as noted from the over two hundred papers I have edited. The habits include grammar mistakes, colloquialisms, and formatting problems and in most cases prevent a clear understanding of the writer’s ideas. A few of the habits, such as writing extremely long sentences, can be corrected with careful use of the MS Word® grammar and style checker. However, most habits, such as missing articles, go unnoticed by automatic grammar checking devices. Still, Chinese-English colloquial habits are not recognized by such software tools.StructureThe common habits are presented in two sections. The first section lists the habits that, in my opinion, need the most attention. These habits interrupt the flow of the paper making it difficult to understand and occur most frequently. In this section, the habits are explained, example sentences from actual papers are given to show the habits, and the sentences are rewritten to show the correct way to write them. In the case of missing articles, a flow chart is also given to aid in choosing the correct articles.In the second section, an additional list of habits is given. In some cases, example sentences are given. In other cases, advice is given. The second section is very useful in becoming familiar with small nuances.Not all of the common habits I observed are presented mainly because they can only be dealt with on an individual basis. For example, writers had difficulty titling their papers and naming new technical ideas to express their contents and functions concisely. This problem frequently occurred but it can only be addressed individually. Once writers are aware of their habits, they would be able to write better technical English articles. Section 1“a, an, the”a, an, and the. This occurs because Mandarin has no direct equivalent of articles and the rules for using them are somewhat complicated for a non-native speakers.Articles signal that a noun will follow and that any modifiers between the article and the noun refer to that noun (a big blue bicycle / the first award). A and an are indefinite articles; the is a definite article. Every time a singular noncount noun, a common noun that names one countable item, is used the noun requires some kind of determiner.Mistake: The, a, and an are 1) omitted where they are required, 2) used where they are not needed or contribute to wordiness 3) used wrongly in place of the correct article. Examples of incorrect usages:Incorrect Figure 2 shows the distribution of relative velocity on surface of main and splitter blades.15Correct Figure 2 shows the distribution of relative velocity on the surface of the main and splitter blades.15Incorrect The software PowerSHAPE is chosen to be a 3D modeling tool; it is good at dealing with free surfaces and curves.4Correct The software PowerSHAPE is chosen to be the 3D modeling tool; it is good at dealing with free surfaces and curves.4There was only one 3D modeling tool used in this study, therefore ‘3D modelingtool’ is specific and requires the article the.Incorrect A theoretical method for calculating the inner flow-field in centrifugal impeller with splitter blades and investigation of the interactionsbetween main and splitter blades is presented in this paper. The vorticesare distributed on the main and splitter blades to simulate the effects offlows. Systematical study of number and distribution of vortices isconducted.15Correct A theoretical method for calculating the inner flow-field in a centrifugal impeller with splitter blades and an investigation of the interactionsbetween main and splitter blades is presented in this paper. The vorticesare distributed on the main and splitter blades to simulate the effects offlows. A systematical study of the number and distribution of vortices isconducted.15Incorrect Theoretically, remanufacturing could fully take advantage of resources contained in EOF product thereby minimizing impact on environment tothe greatest extent compared to landfill or recycling of materials;consequently it contributes greatly to resource conservation.16Correct Theoretically, remanufacturing could fully take advantage of resources contained in an EOF product thereby minimizing the impact on theenvironment to the greatest extent compared to landfill or recycling ofmaterials; consequently it contributes greatly to resource conservation.16 Definitions:determiners or noun markers, articles are the words a, an, and calledArticles Alsothe. A and an are indefinite articles, and the is a definite article. Articles signal that anoun will follow and that any modifiers between the article and the noun refer to that noun. ( a cold , metal chair/ the lightning-fast computer).Determiners A word or word group, traditionally identified as an adjective, that limits a noun by telling how much or how many about it. (expression of quantity, limiting adjective, marker) They tell whether a noun is general (a tree) or specific (the tree). The is a definite article. Before a noun, the conveys that the known refers to a specific item (the plan). A and an are indefinite articles. They convey that a noun refers to an item in a nonspecific or general way (a plan).Common nouns A noun that names a general group, place, person, or thing: dog, house.Count noun A noun that names an item or items that can be counted: radio,fingernails.streets,idea,Noncount nouns A noun that names a thing that cannot be counted: water, time. Specific noun A noun understood to be exactly and specifically referred to; usesarticlethe.definitetheNonspecific noun A noun that refers to any of a number of identical items; it takesa , an.articlestheindefiniteVery long sentencesVery long sentences are especially common in Chinese-English writing because the writers often translate directly from Chinese to English. Although, in Chinese writing it is acceptable to put several supporting ideas in on sentence to show their relationship, in English, the main idea and each supporting idea is typically written in separate sentences.One can usually recognize a very long sentence by its length – sixty words or more. However, sentences of smaller lengths can also be too long if they contain multiple statements that confuse the main idea. Long sentences can be avoided by limiting each sentence to one or two topics. Semicolons should be used where the writer really wants to emphasize the relationship between ideas.Too long According to the characteristic of fan-coil air-conditioning systems, this paper derives the cooling formula of fan-coil units based on the heat transfer theories andputs forward a new method to gauge cooling named Cooling Metering on the Air-side, which can monitor the individual air-conditioning cooling consumptionduring a period of time by detecting the parameters of inlet air condition –temperature and humidity – of the fan-coil air-conditioning system as well as theparameters of inlet cooling water provided by the chiller.Correct This paper derives the cooling formula of fan-coil units based on the characteristics of fan-coil air-conditioning systems and heat transfer theories, and puts forward anew method to gauge cooling called Cooling Metering on the Air-side . The newmethod can monitor individual air-conditioning cooling consumption during aperiod of time by detecting the condition of inlet air – temperature and humidity –of the fan-coil air-conditioning system as well as the parameters of the inlet coolingwater provided by the chiller.Too long The gear transmission is grade seven, the gear gap is 0.00012 radians, the geargap has different output values corresponding to any given input value, non-linearity of the gear gap model can be described by using the phase functionmethod, the existing backlash block in the non-linear library of theMatlab/zdimulink toolbox can be used, the initial value of gear gap in thebacklash block is set to zero.9Correct The gear transmission is grade seven. The gear gap, which is 0.00012 radians,has different output values corresponding to any given input value. The non-linearity of the gear gap model can be described by using the phase functionmethod. The existing backlash block in the non-linear library of theMatlab/zdimulink toolbox can be used; the initial value of gear gap in thebacklash block is set to zero.Another type of super-long sentence that frequently occurs in technical papers is that of a list. The writer wants to give a large amount of data, usually parameter values, and puts this information into one long, paragraph-sized sentence. However, the bestway to give such type and quantity of information is to tabulate it (put it in a bulleted list).Too long …where m is the mass of the heavy disk mounted at the mid-span of amassless elastic shaft, e is the eccentricity of the mass center from thegeometric center of the disk, φ is the angle between the orientation of theeccentricity and the ξ axis, ξk and ηk are the stiffness coefficients in twoprincipal directions of shaft respectively, c is the viscous damping coefficientof the shaft and the disk, i c is the inner damping coefficient of shaft, ω is therotating speed, s ξ and s η are the components of initial bend in directions ofξ,η axes respectively: θξcos b s r =,θηsin b s r =.1Correct Wherem is the mass of the heavy disk mounted at the mid-span of a masslesselasticshaft,e is the eccentricity of the mass center from the geometric center ofthe disk,φ is the angle between the orientation of the eccentricity and the ξaxis,ξk and ηk are the stiffness coefficients in the two principal directionsof theshaft,c is the viscous damping coefficient of the shaft and the disk,i c is the inner damping coefficient of the shaft,ω is the rotating speed,s ξ and s η are the components of initial bend in directions of ξ,ηaxes, respectively: θξcos b s r =,θηsin b s r =.Too long The clear height of the case is 6.15 meters; the thickness of the roof is 0.85 meters; the thickness of the bottom is 0.90 meters, the overall width is 26.6 meters, the overall length of the axial cord is 304.5 meters, the length of the jacking section is about 148.8 meters; the weight of the case is about 24127 tons.3Clear • Case clearance height 6.15 meters• Roof thickness 0.85 meters• Bottom thickness 0.90 meters• Overall width 26.6 meters• Overall length of the axial cord 304.5 meters • Length of the jacking section 148.8 meters (approx.)• Weight of the case 24127 tons (approx.)Prefacing the main idea of a sentence by stating the purpose,location or reason firstChinese writers often preface the main topic of a sentence by first stating the purpose, location, reason, examples and conditions as introductory elements. However, this has the effect of demoting the importance of the main idea and making the reader think the author is indirect. Bring the main idea to the beginning of the sentence stating any locations, reasons, etc., afterwards.Incorrect For the application in automobile interiors, this paper studies the nestingoptimization problem in leather manufacturing. 5Correct This paper studies the nesting optimization problem in leather manufacturingfor application in automobile interiors.Incorrect Especially when numerical control (NC) techniques [4] are widely used in industry and rapid prototype methods [5][6] bring a huge economical benefits, the advantage of constructing 3D model [7][8][9] becomes extremely obvious.2Correct The advantage of constructing a 3D model [7][8][9] becomes extremely obviousespecially when numerical control (NC) techniques [4] are widely used inindustry and rapid prototype methods [5][6] bring a huge economical benefits.Incorrect Inside the test box, the space was filled with asbestos.15Correct The space inside the test box was filled with asbestos.Incorrect In practice, we employed this approach to dispose of a wheelhouse subassembly of one kind of auto-body, and the results show that this method is feasible.16Correct We employed this approach to dispose of a wheelhouse subassembly of one kind of auto-body, and the results show that this method is feasible.Incorrect To ensure sheet metal quality as well as assembly quality, CMMs are widely used in automotive industry production.16Correct CMMs are widely used in automotive industry production to ensure sheet metal quality as well as assembly quality.Tendency of placing phrases which indicate time at the beginning of a sentenceIncorrect When U is taken as the control parameter, the BDs for ∆=0.0, 0.001, 0.005 are shown in Fig. 8.Correct Figure 8 shows the BDs for ∆=0.0, 0.001, and 0.005 when U is taken as the control parameter.Place the most important subject at the beginning of the sentence for emphasisIncorrect Based on the triangulation structure built from unorganized points or a CAD model, the extended STL format is described in this section.4Correct The extended STL format is described in this section based on the triangulation structure built from unorganized points or a CAD model.Incorrect The 3D dentition defect and restoration element models are designed precisely with complicated surfaces.4Correct The 3D dentition defect and restoration element models with complicated surfaces are designed precisely.“w hich/ that”The antecedent (noun or pronoun) to which which refers is not specific, causing confusion.Antecedent The noun or pronoun to which a pronoun refers.‘The Shijiazhuang south road underground bridge possesses the largest jacking force, which is built at 1978(10680t).’ [‘Shijiazhuang south road underground bridge possesses the largest jacking force which is built at 1978(10680t).’Absolute truths in paleontology are often elusive, and even the filmmakers were surprised at the fierce arguments that split the scientists when an initial brainstorming session was else.‘Respectively’ and ‘respective’Respectively refers back to two or more persons or things only in the order they were previously designated or mentioned. If two lists are given, respectively pairs the list entries according to the order in which they are given. In this case the use of respectively is to allow the writer to give a lot of information without confusing the reader or writing several short sentences. Respectively is usually at the end of the sentence. In both cases, mentioning the order must be important to the meaning of the sentence otherwise it is not used.For example: Bobby, Nicole and Daren wore red, green and blue coats, respectively.List 1 List 2Bobby wore a red coat.Nicole wore a green coat.Daren wore a blue coat.Respective to two or more persons or things only in the order they were previously designated or mentioned.The uses of these two words are usually incorrect or confusing as in the following examples.1. Respectively is misplaced in the sentence; it is put before the nouns to which it refers. Incorrect Equations 2~6 can be respectively linearized as:......(equations given) (13)Correct Equations 2~6 can be linearized as:……(equations given)…, respectively. Incorrect The weights of the two experts are respectively 0.600 and 0.400.19Correct The weights of the two experts are 0.600 and 0.400, respectively.2. Respectively is inserted to express that there is a certain order in which something was done. However, the order is already implied elsewhere in the sentence or does not need to be expressed because it does not add value to meaning of the sentence.Incorrect I f both the core technology score and core quality score of a bottleneck process are, respectively, below certain scores, then we refer to strategy 1, otherwise, ifeither is, respectively, above a certain score, then we refer to strategy 2.Similarly, if the core technology and core quality are, respectively, above acertain score, then we refer to strategy 3, otherwise, if either is,respectively,below a certain score, then we refer to strategy 4.19Correct I f both the core technology score and core quality score of a bottleneck process are below certain scores, then we refer to strategy 1, otherwise, if either isabove a certain score, then we refer to strategy 2. Similarly, if the coretechnology and core quality are above a certain score, then we refer to strategy3, otherwise, if either is below a certain score, then we refer to strategy 4.Incorrect Then, the rows of vortex due to both of the long and short blades aretransformed into two singularities on the ζ-plane and integrate the inducedvelocity along the blades respectively.20Correct Then, the rows of vortex due to both of the long and short blades aretransformed into two singularities on the ζ-plane and integrate the inducedvelocity along the blades.3. In addition to 2, it is unclear to what ‘respectively’ refers.Incorrect The dynamic characteristics of a rotor with asymmetric stiffness or with initial warp have been studied before respectively [1-4]Correct The dynamic characteristics of a rotor with asymmetric stiffness or with initial warp have been studied before [1-4].Incorrect The inlet and outlet temperature of the air cooler were measured using two thermocouples respectively.17Correctthermocouples.‘In this paper’, ‘in this study’Two errors occur when these phrases are used. The first is overuse. In some papers written by Chinese, these phrases can occur as much as twice per page. In papers written by native English writers these phrases are reserved for primarily two uses1.In the introduction and conclusion to emphasize the content of the paper.2.In the body of the paper, after referring to work not done by the author such as inother journal articles or in standard.Therefore, if either phrase occurs more than three times in a paper, its use is questionable. Actually, the reader is aware that the work presented is by the author (unless the author states otherwise) so there is no reason to repeat these phrases.The second error is more subtle. The two phrases are interchanged.Awkward In this paper, IDEAS was used to ….Correct In this study, IDEAS was used to….Awkward In the paper, a SZG4031 towing tractor is used as the sample vehicle, itcomponents equivalent physical parameters are obtained by UG design andtesting.9Correct In this study, a SZG4031 towing tractor is used as the sample vehicle, itcomponents equivalent physical parameters are obtained by UG design andtesting.The ‘study’ is the work the author/s did. The paper is the mode to present this work andis what the reader is holding/ reading. Keep in mind the writer can also use other phrases such as ‘in this research’, and ‘this paper present’.N umbers and EquationsTwo very common errors are those concerning the presentation of Arabic numerals, and equations. Chinese writers usually write Arabic numerals instead of spelling out the word. The use of Arabic numerals, itself, is not an error however; they should never be used at the beginning of sentences.Incorrect 12 parameters were selected for the experiment.Correct Twelve parameters were selected for the experiment.In addition, Arabic numerals are overused. Arabic numerals should be used to give datain technical papers, however they should not be used to give general information. Incorrect All 3 studies concluded that the mean temperature should be 30°C.Correct All three studies concluded that the mean temperature should be 30°C.This probably stems from the fact that Mandarin is a symbolic language and not alphabetic. Thus, the writer will find it easier to write a symbol that expresses the idea instead of the word. This problem is even more serious when equations are used in place of words in a way that is not practiced by native English speakers. Consider the following examples.Equations should be introduced as much as possible, not inserted in place of words. Most journals, like the International Journal of Production Research, discourage the use of even short expressions within the text.Incorrect If the power battery SOC > SOC lo and the driving torque belongs to themiddle load,…Correct If the power battery SOC is greater than SOC lo and the driving torquebelongs to the middle load,…Incorrect All 3 studies concluded that the mean temperature should be 30°C.Correct All three studies concluded that the mean temperature should be 30°C.FormatParagraphsA paragraph is a group of sentences that develop one topic or thought. Paragraphs are separated to indicate the end of one idea or thought and the beginning of another. All English paragraphs start on a new line with an indent of about one inch orwith an extra line between the two paragraphs. The latter is more typical for business writing.Chinese students are often puzzled by separating paragraphs; the may perform one of two error. One error occurs when the writer fails to distinguish between two paragraphs. Although the new paragraph starts on a new line, there is no indentation, therefore, the reader in is not aware of the change in paragraphs or ideas. The second error occurs when a paragraph is preceded by a single sentence on a single line. The single line is indented along with the succeeding paragraph as in example #. This commonly occurs in Chinese texts but is never done in English.‘Figure’ and ‘Table’The abbreviations for figure and table are Fig. and Tbl, respectively. However, the abbreviation of table is rarely seen in text. One can also write fig. for figure. However, one should choose one convention and use it throughout the paper. You should not switchnumber.Incorrect Figure.6, Figure6, Fig.6, Tbl10Correct Figure 6, Fig. 6, Tbl. 10VariablesVariables, especially those of the English alphabet, should be italicized in technical papers to distinguish them from English words. Of course, this depends on the style required by the journal.CapitalsBe careful that capitals are not in the middle of the sentence.Incorrect In table 1, The mark…Correct In table 1, the mark…‘such as’ and ‘etc.’Such as and etc. are commonly misused by Chinese-English writers. Such as means ‘for example’ and implies that an incomplete list will follow; etc. means ‘and so on’ and is used at the end of a list to show it is not complete. Therefore, using such as and etc. together is redundant.Incorrect Studies of methodology and process of implementing remanufacturing mainly focus on durable products such as automobile motors, printers, and etc.11Correct Studies of methodology and process of implementing remanufacturing mainly focus on durable products such as automobile motors, and printers.Such as means that an incomplete list will be given and should not be used when a complete list is given.Incorrect Compared to traditional industry, Micro-electronic fabrication has threecharacteristics such as high complexity, high precision and high automation. Correct Compared to traditional industry, Micro-electronic fabrication has threecharacteristics: high complexity, high precision and high automation.Section 21) Some words have identical singular and plural forms and do not need an s added on to make them plural. These words include:•literature (when referring to research)•equipment,•staff (referring to a group of people)•faculty2) Avoid redundancy in the following types of phrases frequently used by Chinese English writersInstead of Say Or say Research work Research WorkLimit condition Limit conditionKnowledge memory Knowledge MemorySketch map Sketch mapLayout scheme Layout schemeArrangement plan Arrangement planOutput performance Output performanceSimulation results results simulationKnowledge information Knowledge informationCalculation results results calculationApplication results Results Application3) Certain words demand that the noun they modify is plural. These include different, various, and number words.Don’t write Instead writeDifferent node Different nodesVarious method Various methodsTwo advantage Two advantagesFifteen thermocouple Fifteen thermocouples4) Never begin an English sentence with abbreviations and Arabic numerals such as Fig. and 8. Instead write Figure and Eight.5) Do not write ‘by this way’. Instead write ‘by doing this’, or ‘using this method’.6) Never write ‘How to…’ at the beginning of a sentence. (Don’t say it ither.)。
英语四级写作的常见错误是什么对于许多大学生来说,英语四级考试是一道必须跨越的关卡,而写作部分更是让不少同学感到头疼。
在英语四级写作中,存在着一些常见的错误,了解并避免这些错误,对于提高写作成绩至关重要。
一、语法错误1、主谓不一致这是一个较为常见且容易被忽略的错误。
例如,“The number of students is increasing, while a number of teachers are decreasing”在这个句子中,“The number of”表示“……的数量”,其后接动词的单数形式;“a number of”表示“许多”,其后接动词的复数形式。
如果对这些短语的用法不熟悉,就很容易出现主谓不一致的错误。
2、时态混乱在写作中,要根据文章的语境和表达的需要选择正确的时态。
比如,描述过去的经历应该用过去时,而阐述普遍真理或现状则要用一般现在时。
但很多同学在写作时会出现时态的随意切换,导致文章逻辑混乱。
3、句子成分残缺比如,“Because he was ill, so he didn't go to school”这个句子中,“because”和“so”不能同时使用,否则就会造成句子成分多余。
4、非谓语动词使用不当非谓语动词包括动词的 ing 形式、过去分词和不定式。
在使用时,如果对其逻辑主语和语法功能理解不透彻,就容易出错。
例如,“Seeing from the top of the hill, the city looks beautiful”这个句子中,“see”的逻辑主语应该是“the city”,而不是“人”,所以应该使用“Seen from the top of the hill”。
二、词汇错误1、词汇拼写错误这是最基础但也较常出现的问题。
例如,“accommodation”容易写成“accomodation”,“definitely”写成“definately”等。
英语学习中典型的中国式毛病【导语】英语的作文是比较的容易写的,但是要怎么样才能够拿到高分呢?就是让作文有要让人眼前一亮的句子和辞汇,下面作者将为大家带来英语学习中典型的中国式毛病,期望能够帮助到大家。
1. 这个价格对我挺合适的。
误:The price is very suitable for me。
正:The price is right。
提示:suitable(合适的、相配的)最常见的用法是以否定的情势显现在告示或通知上,如:下列节目儿童不宜。
The following programme is not suitable for children. 这句话用后面的说法会更合适。
2. 你是做什么工作的呢?误:What's your job?正:Are you working at the moment?提示:what's your job这种说法难道也有毛病吗?是的。
由于如果您的谈话对象刚刚失业,如此直接的问法会让对方有失面子,所以您要问:目前您是在上班吗?Are you working at the moment?接下来您才问:目前您在哪儿工作呢?Where are you working these days?或者您从事哪个行业呢?What line of work are you in?3. 用英语怎么说?误:How to say?正:How do you say this in English?提示:How to say是在中国最为泛滥成灾的中国式英语之一,这绝不是地道的英语说法。
同样的句子有:请问这个词如何拼写?How doyou spell that please?请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word?4. 明天我有事情要做。
误:I have something to do tomorrow。
正:I am tied up all day tomorrow。
