托福写作词汇中，有些相似词义的词汇，其实在用法上大相径庭，可是许多同学在托福写作词汇的选择上忽视了他们的具体运用环境，从而形成表达错误。下面，辛达托福代报为我们整理托福写作中最常出过的5组词汇，替您拔掉托福写作中低分的那根刺。

一、compare与contrast的误用

咱们先从两者的界说入手来看两者的差异。 Compare的界说为：to examine people or things to see how they are similar or different. Contrast的界说为：to compare two or more things to show the difference between them.由界说不难看出前者侧重于找到两个或多个事物的异同,而后者则侧重于它们的不同。

看个例句：It is interesting to compare their situations to ours./It is interesting to contrast their situations to ours.

前一句翻译为：比照一下咱们的状况与他们的状况会很风趣。

后一句的翻译为：咱们的状况与他们的状况有很大的不同,这很风趣。

再看一个引自OXFORD ADBANCED LEARNER’S DICTIONARY的比如：

There is an obvious contrast between the culture of East and West.

The company lost $7 million in contrast to a profit of $6.2 million a year earlier.

When you look at their new system, ours seems very old-fashioned by contrast.

不难发现,Compare翻译为“与……比较”而contrast可译为“明显不同的是……”，辛达托福代报提醒切记这种翻译方式就不会用错互相了。

二、介词运用错误

1、普通介词的误用

一般表现为固定调配错误,如常把provide sb with sth用成provide sb sth; be satisfied with用成be satisfied for等等,虽然这样的错误看似无伤大雅，但在考官眼里就是影响顺利阅读的,当然会影响最终成绩。处理的办法简单而古老：把常见的固定调配紧记于心,问题自然就处理了。

2、 “to”作为介词的误用

“to”最常见的用法是以动词不定式符号的方式出现的,所以同学们也现已习惯了“to do”的固定调配。对于一些如walk to me, to the left等介词to表方向等常见用法一般也不会出现错误。可是对于与动词调配的介词to就会常常犯错：

如：More and more students have taken to depend on their parents to make decision for them.

这儿的‘take to’ means ‘to begin to do sth as a habit’其间‘to’为介词,所以后边只能接名词或相当于名词的词,如动名词。所以黑体处应改为“depending on”。“take to”的另一个常用用法也需求紧记：

He hasn’t taken to his new school. (这儿‘take to’ means ‘to start liking sb or sth’)

Prefer A to B中的“to”也是介词,会有prefer doing sth to doing sth/ prefer sth to sth else,“prefer to do sth rather than do sth”中的“to”可是真正的不定式符号。

相似的常用用法请同学们紧记：

Be used to doing

Be accustomed to doing

See to doing

Adapt to doing

Adjust to doing

prefer doing sth. to doing sth.

等等,请注意平时细心堆集。

三、assume及claim运用不行精确

咱们知道, think, assume, claim是议论文中常用引出观念的动词。在实践作文中,同学们往往以为几个词的意思是相同的,完全可以代换,所以拿过来就用。辛达托福代报发现甚至还有同学把consider也拿过来与之混用。咱们首先还是从界说来看这几个词的不同：

Think： to have opinion or belief about sth.

翻译为“以为”,一般接宾语从句来表达比较确认的观念。

Assume： to think or accept that sth is true but without having proof of it.

翻译为“假定、假定”,是否有事实根据是不确认的。

Claim： to say sth is true although it has not been proved and other people may not believe it.

翻译为“宣称”,用这个词往往意味着不附和紧跟这以后的观念,所以很少用作‘I claim that…

Scientist are claiming a breakthrough in the fight against cancer, but in fact, …。

所以‘It is claimed that’一般翻译为“有报道称。。。”。和‘it is reported that ’的差异在于后者翻译为“据报道”,往往代表着作者附和陈述的内容,

Consider： to think about sth carefully, especially in order to make a decision

翻译为“考虑”,一般不用作引出观念,看个比如：

We are considering buying a new car.

所以,千万不要在托福写作的榜首段(观念表达段)就由于用词掌握禁绝而导致对整篇文章的低分形象。

四、表“主张”的词汇后边忘记用虚拟从句

这是摘自学生托福作文中的一个病句：

I suggest he continues his study instead of working after graduation from high school.

由于‘suggest’翻译为“主张”,所以后边的从句应该用虚拟语气,黑体部分应该改为“(should) continue”

所以考生一定要紧记以下常见表“主张”的词汇,而且要记住这些词接从句时要用虚拟语气：

Recommend, suggest, advise

五、such as与for example的混用

咱们知道,在表明举比如的时分,such as与like是完全同等的,如：Wild flowers such as/like orchids and primroses are becoming rare.

可是同学们对于Such as、for example的掌握还是不行精确。咱们都知道,后者接语句前者接词语表明举比如。所以就有了下面的写法：

There is a similar word in many languages, such as in French and Italian.

这儿的such as改为for example为好,由于“in French and Italian”其实是“there is a similar word in French and Italian”的简化,所以要用for example来引出例证。再来看几个相似的比如：

It is possible to combine computer science with other subjects, for example physics.

以上就是辛达托福代报关于托福写作中最常出错的几组词汇。相似这样的词汇还有许多，我们在托福备考过程中，一定要多加总结和堆集，有效差异这些词汇。
