雅思写作动词使用误区

动词在写作中的频率特别高，也很容易出错，本文将归纳一些雅思写作的动词错误。

（一）动词的形式

1. Take all these factors into consideration, the Internet has its drawbacks.
改正：Take——Taking
解析：这是一个断句现象，两个短句之间不存在任何的并列连词。可以考虑把前者做成现在分词短语。
译文：考虑到所有这些因素，网络还是存在弊端。
2. There is a general discussion about the issue of children doing paid work is completely wrong.
改正：the issue of children——whether children’s
解析：about 后面在没有任何从属连词的前提下，存在一个句子，是不合理的。根据意思表述，做如上修改.
译文：人们都在讨论，孩子做有偿劳动是否完全错误。
3. Those who object to it argue that who is the valuable work experience, important for their learning.
改正：that who is the——the it is
解析：argue that后面是一个宾语从句，句子的主语不应该是who，而是一种行为。
译文：那些反对的人认为，这是有价值的工作经验，对于学生的学习很重要。
4. Though sometimes children feel tired and hard to finish their work, they must be face with many difficulties and challenges if they choose to work.
改正：children feel tired——they feel tired；they must——children must
解析：在主从复合句中，人称代词作主语通常置于从句中，而名词做主语置于主句之中。
译文：尽管有时候会感到很累，很难完成工作，但是如果选择做有偿劳动，孩子们就必须得面对许多困难和挑战。
5. In addition, the government can make economic reforms to colleges is that schools pay students for doing community services around colleges.
改正：to colleges is that——to colleges, which is that
解析：that从句是解释说明的经济改革的内容，可以采用非限定性定语从句的方式修改。
译文：此外，*可以针对大学进行改革，即学校付钱给学生在学校附近进行社区服务。
6. Some people believe that children doing paid work is wasting time.
改正：children doing paid work——children’s doing paid work
解析：that后面是一个宾语从句，句子的主语children doing paid work应该具有名词性特征，改成带有所有格的动名词短语。
译文：有人认为孩子做有偿工作浪费时间。
7. A sizable percentage of people hold the opinion that university teachers should prioritize to give more knowledge about practical courses like computer science and business than such traditional ones as history and geography.
改正：prioritize to give more knowledge about——prioritize；than——rather than
解析：意思重复表达。去掉to give more knowledge about即可。
译文：大量的人持有这样的观点：大学教师应该重视实用性课程如电脑科学和商业而不是历史、地理这类的传统课程。

（二）动词的语气/语态

1. If the government is encouraged to cover the complete fees, higher education would develop more equally.
改正：is encouraged——were encouraged/should be encouraged

解析：本句是虚拟语气。If从句的动词与将来相反，be动词应该使用were；或动词改成should+动词原形。
译文：如果鼓励*承担所有的学费，高等教育发展将会更公平。
2. In spite of the society now is fully advocated that a equal between the men and women, the ratio of the works is still unable to make it realized.
改正：In spite of——Although；advocated——advocating；that a equal——an equality；the works——jobs
解析：in spite of+名词性短语，although后面接让步状语从句；the society与advocate之间是主动关系，用主动语态；advocate后面跟的是名词短语作宾语，不是宾语从句，that没有必要，且在名词短语中，equal是形容词，需要改成名词；works表示泛指，且是不可数名词，应该去掉the，改成jobs或者work。
译文：尽管现代社会完全提倡男女平等，但是工作的比例问题仍旧不能够确计划这种平等实现。
3. If the government could be responsible for that（学费） would be more considerate of the students who will contribute more to society, even the nation.
改正：would be——, it would be
解析：本句是含有if的虚拟主从复合句，if置于句，从句与主句之间用逗号隔开，且主句缺少主语，用it表示，替代这种状况。
译文：如果*能够承担学费，学生会更加体谅*，也因此会给社会甚至做更多的贡献。
4. Therefore, the issue who should take care of this problem is continued being taken about.
改正：the issue who——the issue about who；taken about——talked about
解析：the issue就是关于who从句的，中间加about即可；或者把the issue去掉，做成who引导的主语从句。taken about属于词汇使用错误。
译文：因此，人们都在继续讨论谁应负责此事这一问题。
5. If I was an employer, I would obviously choose the employees who have been trained in this field.
改正：was改成were
解析：这是与现在相反的虚拟语气，从句be动词应该用were。
译文：显而易见，如果我是老板，我也会选择在相关域接受过培训的员工。
