PTE写作说到底考察学生语言表达的能力。而文章的结构是一个骨架,有了这个骨架之后,同学们需要填充血和肉文章才会变得生动。而血和肉指的就是就是字词,句式等。它要求考生熟练而且准确地使用字词句式。但是毕竟PTE 考试属于机考,所以一定范围的拼写语法错误是值得理解的。只要不影响文章的意思理解,一些错误是允许的。
但对于追求高分的学生来说,准确的语法就成为了必备要素。
在比较级的句型中,某些字一定要配合特定的字眼使用,才能清楚表示比较的功能。例如:
状况一:
错:Without a clear incentive, a manager is five times more likely to stick to an old policy as to switch to a new one.
比较级more的相关字组是than,用来表示“大于”。As的相关字组是as,用来表示“等于“。如果加上倍数,像是five times as likely... as,则表示前者的可能性是后者的五倍。上面这个句子错在以连接词as来配合more likely使用,这是相关字组的无用,应改为:
Without a clear incentive, a manager is five times more likely to stick to an old policy than to switch to a new one.
状况二:
错:The collapse of the currencies of various Asian countries was attributable not so muchto raids by speculators like George Soros but rather it was to irresponsible monetary policies of those countries.
这个句子的错误也是两套字组的混用。Not A but B这个相关字组是完全否定A,只留下B。另外一个相关字组not so much A as B则是比较级,表示A的程度较浅,不及B(not so as 即是as.. as的否定表示)。上面这个例句中以not so much配合but rather使用,即是搞混了这两套相关字组,应该为:
The collapse of the currencies of various Asian countries was attributable not so much to raids by speculators like George Soros as to irresponsible monetary policies of those countries.
状况三:
错:Chinese is as difficult or more difficult to learn than English.
这个句子中的More difficult后面有相关字组than配合,可as difficult的后面则必须有相关字组as配合,不能用than取代将省略的部分还原,以估计相关字组的要求,即成为:
Chinese is as difficult or more difficult to learn as English.
只留下一个as... as的比较级,用精简的文字表达出相同的意思,这是最符合修辞要求的作法。
