參考答案與范文
習(xí)作修改
本文是李華向教授推薦他的同學(xué)李明到教授所在大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)。
1. classmate→classmates 因one of后加名詞復(fù)數(shù)。
2. his→your 因是推薦李明到professor所在的學(xué)校,因此人稱代詞應(yīng)用your。
3. 在expert和science中間加in 因be expert in,是指在某些方面的專家,固定搭配。
4. a→an 因excellent是以元音音素開頭,不定冠詞應(yīng)用an。
5. get→got 描述過去獲得的成績,謂語動(dòng)詞應(yīng)該用過去式。
6. but→and 指他熱心、進(jìn)步,是并列關(guān)系,用and連接。
7. highly→high 修飾名詞potentiality(潛力)用形容詞。
8.劃去learning前的the 指學(xué)習(xí)能力好,搭配為be good at doing sth。
9. whether→if 意指如果能被你們學(xué)校錄取,他將會(huì)是你們學(xué)校優(yōu)秀的學(xué)生,是條件狀語,不用whether引導(dǎo),應(yīng)用if。
10. favor→favorable 修飾名詞應(yīng)該用形容詞。
