第1招 表达正确——规避常犯的9大错误
考生写作中常犯的错误主要表现在词性不明、措辞不当、用法不妥、重复累赘、句法混乱、中式英语、拼写与标点有误等。下面通过整理归类，列举正误例句，指出错误所在，总结其规律，以便帮助考生尽快提高英语书面语言的准确表达能力。
一、词性不明
1．误：Everyone in my family is like the dog.
正：Everyone in my family likes the dog.
分析：作者的原意是：我们全家都喜欢这只狗。但错误例句所传递的信息却是：我们全家都像狗。英语中的like主要用作动词(喜欢)、名词(爱好)、介词(像)。弄清“like的众兄弟”(like, unlike, dislike, likely, alike, look like, would like, feel like )的词性和搭配很有必要，以便做到触类旁通。
2．误：Those who strongly against the idea think animals will lose their freedom and nature if caged in the zoo.
正：Those who are strongly against the idea think animals will lose their freedom and nature if caged in the zoo.
分析：误将介词作动词：against(反对)是介词而不是动词，用介词表达动作意义，要加系动词be; for为其反义词，意为“同意”。
二、措辞不当
1．误：Not until I got back to the hotel did I realize I had forgotten my luggage in the taxi.
正：Not until I got back to the hotel did I realize I had left my luggage in the taxi.
分析：表示把某物“遗忘，落下”，并且句中有地点状语时要用leave。
2．误：Under the help of my classmates and teachers, I managed to make up for the lessons I had missed.
正：With the help of my classmates and teachers, I managed to make up for the lessons I had missed.
正：Thanks to the help of my classmates and teachers, I managed to make up for the lessons I had missed.
分析：思维方式差异：“在……的帮助下”实则是“由于……的帮助”， under常用于“under the leadership/protection of ...”。
