学生们写的托福作文里或多或少都会有一些用词不当的问题，但是要注意的是一些最最基本的错误是不能犯的。
拼写错误
这里的拼写错误不是指在考试时候的误打，而是本身对词汇拼写记忆的错误。
乱用大词
表达中式
表意重复
?They shocked their friends， devastated their families， crushed their best friends.
前面已经提到了朋友，后面又提到朋友。
? The show is so compelling but attractive.
?compelling和attractive是同义词，所以这里这么写就让人不明白。
固定用法错误
? To some extends， I agree with the author’s general assertion that if parents
also have a comprehensive sense of professional knowledge.
——To some extends应改为To some extent
例证夸张
? For example， when a doctor faces a patient who has got cancer， the doctor
cannot tell the truth， for the truth may cause the patient’s immediate death.
虽然善意的谎言是必要的，但是其功效显然没有这么大。
成分多余
? According to a comprehensive investigation which is carried out by Chinese
Academy of Social Sciences shows that there is an increase in the number of
university students who are taking part-time jobs.
该句中的shows that是多余的成分。
词性混乱
? However， the questions such as "Have you ever regretted marrying your
husband" may be very privacy and embarrassingly.
句子中的privacy和embarrassingly应该改成private和embarrassing。
时态错误
托福作文一般使用现在时态，除了拿过去事件作为例子用过去时态。
? Some people claimed that news media has enormous influence and is a detrimental creation.
—— claimed应该改为claim
