【寫作】改掉托福寫作口語化的壞習慣
Hello 大家好~ 我是Pin TOEFL 的Lucy
本篇文章針對寫作常見錯誤的口語化習慣跟大家參考,平常沒有注意到的地方,提點過後,開始有意識的矯正!

托福寫作評分標準項目之一為文章的質量(Quality),內容夠不夠清楚、架構是否容易理解、以及整體英文闡述的語言程度。托福衝刺期間,每周都有近20位的同學參加我們的顧問寫作批改資源,而大家的練習當中,很容易出現寫作盲點– 用字遣詞太過口語化。
英文作文有一個制式化的標準,往往語氣以及詞彙選擇都是精準的並且無爭議性的。相較於跟朋友講故事的談話內容、或是寫日記的段落,口語化的語言成分務必降到最低。“Colloquial language” 口語化的英文,反映在托福的文章當中會降低你文章的說服力、穩定性,給讀者的感官也會因此受到影響。
I. 口語化三大缺點:
過於輕鬆/不正式
想法不精準/不清楚
太廣泛
II. 避免以下的用法:
1. 多餘的填補詞 –
Example:
‘so’, ‘really’, ‘very’, ‘pretty’, ‘even’
口說當中常常為了增加強調效果或語調效果,在作文中應避免
My professors and even my parents were there.
--> My professors and my parents attended the ceremony.
My internship was pretty successful.
--> My internship experience was a success.
2. 不精準的衡量尺度 –
Example:
Mood – good
Experience – sucks
Giving an Example – basically
Quantity – a lot
怎樣的程度,請同學清楚的交代,我們不依賴讀者自動理解你想表達的論點
I was feeling good after the interview.
--> I felt confident that I would receive an offer.
I spent a lot of years trying to lose weight.
--> The process of my weight loss journey took four years for me to feel healthy again.
3. 主詞、受詞隨便省略 –
Example:
“in other words, not very helpful”
若是讀者跟不上你想表達的資訊,則為無意義的內容 What is not helpful for who?
It is detrimental for people.
--> Sexism is detrimental for women in the workplace.
4. 避免常見SLANG –
Example:
“get in touch with”, “also”, “show up”, “well…”

在文章中減少口語化的習慣能避免讀者的誤解、不確定性。只要你在打文章的過程當中有意識地減少這樣的習慣,讀者一定能更清楚地跟上你的思路。“Well developed, using clearly appropriate explanations, exemplifications, and/or details.” 托福要求的”容易理解”,從我們寫作的精準度下手!
