少用第二人称：总结托福写作需注意的语法点
<p> 1.据说，托福作文里不能用<span word="you">you</span>，这是真的吗？ </p><p> 第二人称人称代词<span word="you">you</span>在托福写作中不是一点不能用，但是也并不提倡使用。学术性文章里对语言风格的要求可能因人而异，按照严格的要求，人 称代词(<span word="personal">personal</span> <span word="pronouns">pronouns</span>)是不应使用的，如<span word="I">I</span>, <span word="we">we</span>, <span word="you">you</span>, <span word="they">they</span>等等，不使用人称代词，你的文章看上去就十分的正式和客观。因此，如果你将来遇到的教授比较严格或保守的话，可能会要求你改掉所有有人称代词的 句子。</p><p> 托福写作相比于学术论文还是没有那么正式的，但是内容也是比较正式的，因此，第二人称代词<span word="you">you</span>还是不用或尽量少用为好，第一人称和第三人称就都是可接受的了。如果你有常写<span word="you">you</span>的习惯，不妨每次将它改为<span word="we">we</span>、<span word="people">people</span>或<span word="one">one</span>。</p><p> 语法要点：托福作文中尽量少用或不用第二人称代词(<span word="you">you</span>、<span word="your">your</span>、<span word="yours">yours</span>等)，改为第三人称或第一人称。</p><p> 2.<span word="amounts">amounts</span> <span word="of">of</span>和<span word="numbers">numbers</span> <span word="of">of</span>的用法一样吗？ </p><p> 一个同学在作文里写了<span word="amounts">amounts</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="people">people</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="opportunity">opportunity</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="work">work</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="home">home</span> <span word="nowadays">nowadays</span>这样的句子。也有很多同学写过<span word="a">a</span> <span word="great">great</span> <span word="amount">amount</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="historical">historical</span> <span word="buildings">buildings</span>或<span word="the">the</span> <span word="amount">amount</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="printed">printed</span> <span word="books">books</span>这样的表达。他们往往将<span word="amounts">amounts</span> <span word="of">of</span>或<span word="an">an</span> <span word="amount">amount</span> <span word="of">of</span>当成了<span word="a">a</span> <span word="lot">lot</span> <span word="of">of</span>或<span word="lots">lots</span> <span word="of">of</span>的替代表达。</p><p> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="lot">lot</span> <span word="of">of</span>或<span word="lots">lots</span> <span word="of">of</span>一般来说的确不太适合用在书面表达中，但是它们修饰的名词可以是可数名词，也可以是不可数名词，因此用不着多做考虑。然而，用<span word="an">an</span> <span word="amount">amount</span> <span word="of">of</span>或<span word="amounts">amounts</span> <span word="of">of</span>来修饰的名词，根据标准用法的要求，应该修饰物质名词(如<span word="water">water</span>)或抽象名词(如<span word="pain">pain</span>)，也就是不可数的名词。因此，用它们来修饰 <span word="people">people</span>、<span word="buildings">buildings</span>这样的可数名词是不正确的。那么，什么量词用来修饰可数名词呢？<span word="a">a</span> <span word="number">number</span> <span word="of">of</span>或<span word="numbers">numbers</span> <span word="of">of</span>，如：<span word="a">a</span> <span word="large">large</span> <span word="number">number</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="cars">cars</span>。</p>
