以下是Mr Hu在外教辦公室的門外宣傳欄上發現的一個好帖子，現分享給各位，其中的很多內容應該會顛覆你以往對於很多英文寫作用詞的認知。不過，Mr Hu覺得這位老師總結的內容都很有道理，很有權威性，應該引起我們的注意。這樣，我們自己在寫英語作文時，才會逐漸克服這些毛病，讓自己的「作品」儘早接近native speaker的水平。這點，對於那些打算將來出國深造的同學尤其重要，因為，畢竟英文寫作是大多數中國學生的「軟肋」，確實應該從平時抓起，這樣你將來去了外教的全英文課堂，才能儘早適應！
The Banned List for Impropriate English Phrases or Sentences
The following words and phrases are banned from use for all English assignments. Why? So you can be an excellent writer!
thing, instead of saying thing, be specific; say exactly what the noun is.
Colorful. Native speakers almost never use this word to describe a person or their life. Look for a precise adjective.
Sunshiny,harmonious, propaganda.These words do not translate well and sound strange. No not use them.
Stuffs. Most of the time we use this in the wrong way as in 「we ate a great deal of stuffs during supper」 this word with an s is a verb, as in, Santa stuffs the Christmas sock. Without an s it is a noun.
Homeworks,advices, informations, knowledges, researches, staffs. There is never an s at the end of these words.
Do not use the word study as a noun. We don’t say 「I must spend more time on my study.」 Better to say, I should spend more time studying.
Firstly, abandon firstly, secondly,thirdly. First,second, third is better.
What’s more.Use furthermore,moreover.
In a word. Don’t use this word if you are about to say or write more than one word.
As everybody knows.Everybody doesn’t know.
No sayings of any type, quotes, or proverbs. For freshmen only! This a habit leftover from high-school that blocks you from learning new ways to express yourself in English.
Besides. Never use besides. Use in addition,or additionally.
You can never say I have ever been to Beijing. Instead, 「I have been to Beijing」.
Most of time/most of people.Use most of the time, most times, most people.
It deeply moved me. I was deeply moved, made me moved, very moved, I was deeply impressed, it made a deep impression on me are overused and often sound strange. Instead of saying something made you moved, use more precise words like 「the movie made a deep impact on me」 or 「after watching the movie I decided to call my grandma and thank her for raising me.」
Bright future, brighter future, better life, broaden my horizons. These are over used and don’t use them.
Peasants,feudalism.Don’t use them if you are writing about China after 1949. Use farmer for peasant.
Relaxmyself. Relax himself. Relax yourself. Just say relax and do not follow relax with a pronoun.
Or something else, and so on, etc.don’t use them.
