众所周知,在听、说、读、写四种技能中,写最能反映一个人的语言功底。 习作者的构思、论点、论据,到单词的拼写、书写、文章的结构、修辞等,都能比较全面地反映习作者的语言运用能力。但是,学生习作中却大量存在基本的语法错误。这些语法错误,如果被挑出来,拿给习作者看,他们很快知道错在哪里。如果将这些语法错误编写成正误判断题,那些习作者本人也能作出正确的判断。 “粗心语法错误”的存在,说明大学生平时虽然花在英语学习上的时间比较多,但缺乏足够的笔头练习,而且对语言形式的敏感性(sensitivity to linguistic forms)不够。请看下组错误例句,均属于典型的“粗心语法错误” (选自2002年硕士研究生入学考试作文8分答卷)。
