托福写作中一定要避免的语法错误

托福考试的作文一直让不少烤鸭十分挠头。从确定主题、理清思路，到划好层次、遣词造句，环环相扣缺一不可，因此作文永远不是一项小工程！
虽说ETS在评判托福作文时采用的是综合评分的方式，即以作文的整体水平判分，而不纠结于小细节。但有些同学往往会在语言方面疏漏多多，问题明显到影响了考官整体评断的程度，那即便你的思路和论证属于一流，最多也只能得个二流分数，岂不可惜！
下面，我们就来谈一谈同学们在托福写作中最容易犯的语言错误。大家可以对号入座，看看自己是不是也犯过类似的错误呢？

1. 用词不当

原：The absence of groupwork is a disaster for teenagers in modern society.
改：The absence of teamwork is a disaster for teenagers in modern society.
评：groupwork是“分组”或者“小组集体任务”的意思。这位同学原本想说teamwork“团队合作”，却用了一个看起来很像，但实际完全不同的词，表达出来的意思就风马牛不相及了。

原：You will be dangerous if you keep moving without a clear view of the whole picture.
改：You will be in danger if you keep moving without a clear view of the whole picture.
评：dangerous表示所修饰的对象是“带来危险的，有危险性的”，而be in danger才是“身处险境”的意思。到底谁才是威胁呢？

原：Firstly, the job, providing the opportunity for students to utilize what they learned in class, might effecttheir further development.
改：Firstly, the job, providing the opportunity for students to utilize what they learned in class, might affecttheir further development.
评：模样长得像，意思可不同了。这里想用动词affect表示“影响”，却误写为名词effect“效果”，一字千里啊！

2. 搭配错误

原：Nowadays, people are crazy pursuing to be excellent.
改：Nowadays, people are crazy about excellence.
评：这位同学显然记错了be crazy about sth. 这个用法，写出来的句子自然会出问题啦。

原：Besides, public speech can effectively increase your communication skills, which facilitate your salesman career.
改：Besides, public speech can effectively improve your communication skills, which facilitate your salesman career.
评：此处是一个明显的动宾搭配错误。“提高……技巧”应该是improve the skills，而不是increase the skills.

3.词性错位

原：I will forget my sad and pressure from the work and the study.
改：I will forget my sadness and pressure from work and study.
评：sad是形容词，而这里明显需要一个名词，应该是sadness。

原：Although making money is a priority for most people, spending time with the family is equal significant.
改：…, spending time with the family is equally significant.
评：形容词significant前需要用副词来修饰，所以equal应该改成equally。

4. 时态混乱

原：Although I have no work experience when I was a teenager, I always dreamed about having a job.
改：Although I had no work experience when I was a teenager, I always dreamed about having a job.
评：过去时的句子中冒出了现在时，同学你太粗心了，要仔细检查哦~

原：I would explain my view in the following paragraphs.
改：I’d like to explain… / I will explain…
评：可能是两种说法记混了吧，结果把时态搞错了……

5. 主谓不一致

原：The way we deal with the environmental problems are crucial to the prosperity of human-being.
改：The way we deal with the environmental problems
