小編：環(huán)球教育整理 441在《普林斯頓評論》刊登的一篇題為《大學(xué)申請的 6 大簡單語法規(guī)則》的文章中，高校招生官談到，良好的語法能讓你的想法“大放異彩”。 這些官員每天都會接觸大量來自全球各地學(xué)生遞交的申請文書，并由此決定誰能獲取入學(xué)資格。
文中還提到，招生官表示語法錯誤會使人分心，而好語法則能夠讓讀者把注意力集中到文章的內(nèi)容上。以下是高校招生官建議遵循的一些重要語法規(guī)則：
規(guī)則 1： 修飾語(描述事物的單詞或短語)應(yīng)靠近其修飾的單詞或短語。
示例： Purchased last week, the new preparation materials helped the student study.
常見錯誤： Purchased last week, the student studied with her new preparation materials.
規(guī)則 2： 確保代詞指代一個特定的名詞，并與其指代名詞的單數(shù)或復(fù)數(shù)形式保持一致。
示例： The professor is a favorite at the university, but he is now taking a semester off.
常見錯誤： The professor is a favorite at the university, but they were now taking a semester off.
規(guī)則 3： 牢記句子主語，確保主語始終與動詞保持一致。
示例： Each of the authors involved in writing the book was a sociologist.
常見錯誤： Each of the authors involved in writing the book were sociologists.
規(guī)則 4： 當(dāng)一個句子中存在兩個或多個并列成分時，應(yīng)使用同類語法形式。
示例： The teacher thought he was a good student because he turned in his papers on time, tested well on exams and appeared enthusiastic.
常見錯誤： The teacher thought he was a good student because he turned in his papers on time, tested well on exams and his enthusiasm was high.
規(guī)則 5： 當(dāng)主語是動作的執(zhí)行者時，選擇主動語態(tài)(而非被動語態(tài))。
示例： After I spent the past semester meeting with my study group in the library, I decided to change the location.
常見錯誤： After meeting in the library with my study group for the past semester, changing locations was my decision.
在備考托福考試的寫作部分時，作為考生的你請記住這些重要的語法規(guī)則。這將有助于閱卷人把注意力集中到文章的重點，更加關(guān)注你的奇思妙想。
