托福写作考试是根据作文的整体水平来评分的，所以对于一些小细节问题，起不到关键的作用，但是也并不能说一些语法的错误就能够被忽视。因为即使你的托福作文整体的逻辑都很好，一两个的语法错误也会把整体的成绩拉低的。下面小编整理了几个常见的托福写作短语错误，希望大家在练习和考试的时候，都能有效的避免。
1. 用词不当
原：The absence of groupwork is a disaster for teenagers in modern society.
改：The absence of teamwork is a disaster for teenagers in modern society.
评：groupwork是“分组”或者“小组集体任务”的意思。这位同学原本想说teamwork“团队合作”，却用了一个看起来很像，但实际完全不同的词，表达出来的意思就风马牛不相及了。
原：You will be dangerous if you keep moving without a clear view of the whole picture.
改：You will be in danger if you keep moving without a clear view of the whole picture.
评：dangerous表示所修饰的对象是“带来危险的，有危险性的”，而be in danger才是“身处险境”的意思。到底谁才是威胁呢?
原：Firstly, the job, providing the opportunity for students to utilize what they learned in class, might effect their further development.
改：Firstly, the job, providing the opportunity for students to utilize what they learned in class, might affect their further development.
评：模样长得像，意思可不同了。这里想用动词affect表示“影响”，却误写为名词effect“效果”，一字千里啊!
2. 搭配错误
原：Nowadays, people are crazy pursuing to be excellent.
改：Nowadays, people are crazy about excellence.
评：这位同学显然记错了be crazy about sth. 这个用法，写出来的句子自然会出问题啦。
原：Besides, public speech can effectively increase your communication skills, which facilitate your salesman career.
改：Besides, public speech can effectively improve your communication skills, which facilitate your salesman career.
评：此处是一个明显的动宾搭配错误。“提高……技巧”应该是improve the skills，而不是increase the skills.
3.词性错位
原：I will forget my sad and pressure from the work and the study.
改：I will forget my sadness and pressure from work and study.
评：sad是形容词，而这里明显需要一个名词，应该是sadness。
原：Although making money is a priority for most people, spending time with the family is equal significant.
改： …, spending time with the family is equally significant.
评：形容词significant前需要用副词来修饰，所以equal应该改成equally。
4. 时态混乱
原：Although I have no work experience when I was a teenager, I always dreamed about having a job.
改：Although I had no work experience when I was a teenager, I always dreamed about having a job.
评：过去时的句子中冒出了现在时，同学你太粗心了，要仔细检查哦~
原：I would explain my view in the following paragraphs.
改：I’d like to explain… / I will explain…
评：可能是两种说法记混了吧，结果把时态搞错了……
以上是对于托福作文中，常见的托福短语错误的总结，希望大家看了之后能够有效的避免。
