　　当使用连词将一系列的单词联接起来的时候，应当使用词性相同或同一类型的短语。
　　不知所云

　　段落过长，不分段
　　主语与动词一致问题

5 v5 u: b6 A( k　　在正式的写作中不要使用缩写形式(can't， don't， it's， we'll， they've等等) ，而应当使用单词的完整形式 (cannot， do not，it is，we will，they have等等)。
　　关联词语重复
+ U) r* ]" \/ F+ B$ F6 K0 {　　Since I want to go to a good school, therefore I am trying to raise my test scores.

* \1 w/ a) k. i+ x5 g5 f& g1 M+ s　　不要使用get
　　When I got home, I got tired, so I got a book and got into bed.

　　传的信息不正确，或者让人听起来觉得可能不正确（如果确实是正确的，应当解释为什么这样，因为读者不认为是正确的）。上述例句中，all的意思是百分之百；我们不能绝对地说每一件新东西都是从美国诞生的。为保险起见，应当使用many或most。

　　When I first came to the US, I did not have a lot of friends in here.
　　In class, my classmate never mentioned about her husband.
