不连贯(incoherence)

不连贯是指一个句子前言不搭后语,或者是结构上不畅通,这也是考生经常犯的错误之一。如:

1. The fresh water, it is the most important things in the world.

分析:

“the fresh water”与逗号后的it不连贯,it与things在数方面不一致。

改为:The fresh water is the most important thing in the world.

综合性语言错误(comprehensive misusage)

所谓综合性语言错误是指在雅思写作中除了上述10种错误外的诸如时态,语态,标点符号,大小写等错误。如:

1. Today money to everyone is very importance, our’s cloths, live, eat, go etc.

分析:

“our”是人称代词的所有格形式,可以单独作形容词使用,没必要使用’s形式,而且后面应该跟名词。

改为:Today money to everyone is very important, for example, our eating, clothing, living, going ,etc.

Another effect of tobacco on the body is its risk for heart diseases. Smoking is the major cause of heart attacks. These examples simply show the perils of tobacco smoking to the body.

Furthermore, cigarette trading these days has become a lucrative business around the world, especially within developed countries.
