100 Most Often Mispelled Misspelled Words in English
2010/04/11 08:54:56瀏覽7062｜回應6｜推薦13

I wish to collect at least 100 most often mispelled words of my students' and even classify them with their years of English learning.

Recently I am working on some checklists which can help students complete their own writing and enjoy the writing process. ( Revising Checklist, Editing Checklist, )

Besides, I will also collect the possible writing topics with a list of  helpful word bank.

Instead of using the boring words, try to use some other expressions. ( ( I wish to collect another list of interesting expressions.)

Moreover, the commonly used sentence patterns will be collected and organized.

I will also work on some cards which include " Descriptive words, Action words, Transition Words, Sensory Words, Overused words, possible Writing topics, High Frequency Word List, helpful Writing Guide, commonly mispelled words, graphic organizers, writing samples, writing styles prompt cards, .....)

100 Most Often Mispelled Misspelled Words in English

轉載於http://www.yourdictionary.com/library/misspelled.html

A

  • acceptable - Several words made the list because of the suffix pronounced -êbl but sometimes spelled -ible, sometimes -able. Just remember to accept any table offered to you and you will spell this word OK.
  • accidentally - It is no accident that the test for adverbs on -ly is whether they come from an adjective on -al ("accidental" in this case). If so, the -al has to be in the spelling. No publical, then publicly.
  • accommodate - Remember, this word is large enough to accommodate both a double "c" AND a double "m".
  • acquire - Try to acquire the knowledge that this word and the next began with the prefix ad- but the [d] converts to [c] before [q].
  • acquit - See the previous discussion.
  • a lot - Two words! Hopefully, you won't have to allot a lot of time to this problem.
  • amateur - Amateurs need not be mature: this word ends on the French suffix -eur (the equivalent of English -er).
  • apparent - A parent need not be apparent but "apparent" must pay the rent, so remember this word always has the rent.
  • argument - Let's not argue about the loss of this verb's silent [e] before the suffix -ment.
  • atheist - Lord help you remember that this word comprises the prefix a- "not" + the "god" (also in the-ology) + -ist "one who believes."

B

  • believe - You must believe that [i] usually comes before [e] except after [c] or when it is pronounced like "a" as "neighbor" and "weigh" or "e" as in "their" and "heir." Also take a look at "foreign" below. (The "i-before-e" rule has more exceptions than words it applies to.)
  • bellwether - Often misspelled "bellweather." A wether is a gelded ram, chosen to lead the herd (thus his bell) due to the greater likelihood that he will remain at all times ahead of the ewes.

C

  • calendar - This word has an [e] between two [a]s. The last vowel is [a].
  • category - This word is not in a category with "catastrophe" even if it sounds like it: the middle letter is [e].
  • cemetery - Don't let this one bury you: it ends on -ery—nary an -ary in it. You already know it starts on [c], of course.
  • changeable - The verb "change" keeps its [e] here to indicate that the [g] is soft, not hard. (That is also why "judgement" is the correct spelling of this word, no matter what anyone says.)
  • collectible - Another -ible word. You just have to remember.
  • column - Silent final [e] is commonplace in English but a silent final [n] is not uncommon, especially after [m].
  • committed - If you are committed to correct spelling, you will remember that this word doubles its final [t] from "commit" to "committed."
  • conscience - Don't let misspelling this word weigh on your conscience: [ch] spelled "sc" is unusual but legitimate.
  • conscientious - Work on your spelling conscientiously and remember this word with [ch] spelled two different ways: "sc" and "ti". English spelling!
  • conscious - Try to be conscious of the "sc" [ch] sound and all the vowels in this word's ending and i-o-u a note of congratulations.
  • consensus - The census does not require a consensus, since they are not related.

D

  • daiquiri - Don't make yourself another daiquiri until you learn how to spell this funny word-the name of a Cuban village.
  • definite (ly) - This word definitely sounds as though it ends only on -it, but it carries a silent "e" everywhere it goes.
  • discipline - A little discipline, spelled with the [s] and the [c] will get you to the correct spelling of this one.
  • drunkenness - You would be surprised how many sober people omit one of the [n]s in this one.
  • dumbbell - Even smart people forget one of the [b]s in this one. (So be careful who you call one when you write.)

E

  • embarrass (ment) - This one won't embarrass you if you remember it is large enough for a double [r] AND a double [s].
  • equipment - This word is misspelled "equiptment" 22,932 times on the web right now.
  • exhilarate - Remembering that [h] when you spell this word will lift your spirits and if you remember both [a]s, it will be exhilarating!
  • exceed 0 Remember that this one is -ceed, not -cede. (To exceed all expectations, master the spellings of this word, "precede" and "supersede" below.)
  • existence - No word like this one spelled with an [a] is in existence. This word is a menage a quatre of one [i] with three [e]s.
  • experience - Don't experience the same problem many have with "existence" above in this word: -ence!

F

  • fiery - The silent "e" on "fire" is also cowardly: it retreats inside the word rather than face the suffix -y.
  • foreign - Here is one of several words that violate the i-before-e rule. (See "believe" above.)

G

  • gauge - You must learn to gauge the positioning of the [a] and [u] in this word. Remember, they are in alphabetical order (though not the [e]).
  • grateful - You should be grateful to know that keeping "great" out of "grateful" is great.
  • guarantee - I guarantee you that this word is not spelled like "warranty" even though they are synonyms.

H

  • harass - This word is too small for two double letters but don't let it harass you, just keep the [r]s down to one.
  • height - English reaches the height (not heighth!) of absurdity when it spells "height" and "width" so differently.
  • hierarchy - The i-before-e rule works here, so what is the problem?
  • humorous - Humor us and spell this word "humorous": the [r] is so weak, it needs an [o] on both sides to hold it up.

I

  • ignorance - Don't show your ignorance by spelling this word -ence!
  • immediate - The immediate thing to remember is that this word has a prefix, in- "not" which becomes [m] before [m] (or [b] or [p]). "Not mediate" means direct which is why "immediately" means "directly."
  • independent - Please be independent but not in your spelling of this word. It ends on -ent.
  • indispensable - Knowing that this word ends on -able is indispensable to good writing.
  • inoculate - This one sounds like a shot in the eye. One [n] the eye is enough.
  • intelligence - Using two [l]s in this word and ending it on -ence rather than -ance are marks of . . . you guessed it.
  • its/it's - The apostrophe marks a contraction of "it is." Something that belongs to it is "its."

J

  • jewelry - Sure, sure, it is made by a jeweler but the last [e] in this case flees the scene like a jewel thief. However, if you prefer British spelling, remember to double the [l]: "jeweller," "jewellery." (See also pronunciation.)
  • judgment - Traditionally, the word has been spelled judgment in all forms of the English language. However, the spelling judgement (with e added) largely replaced judgment in the United Kingdom in a non-legal context. In the context of the law, however, judgment is preferred. This spelling change contrasts with other similar spelling changes made in American English, which were rejected in the UK. In the US at least, judgment is still preferred and judgement is considered incorrect by many American style guides.

K

  • kernel (colonel) - There is more than a kernel of truth in the claim that all the vowels in this word are [e]s. So why is the military rank (colonel) pronounced identically? English spelling can be chaotic.

L

  • leisure - Yet another violator of the i-before-e rule. You can be sure of the spelling of the last syllable but not of the pronunciation.
  • liaison - Another French word throwing us an orthographical curve: a spare [i], just in case. That's an [s], too, that sounds like a [z].
  • library - It may be as enjoyable as a berry patch but that isn't the way it is spelled. That first [r] should be pronounced, too.
  • license - Where does English get the license to use both its letters for the sound [s] in one word?
  • lightning - Learning how to omit the [e] in this word should lighten the load of English orthography a little bit.

M

  • maintenance - The main tenants of this word are "main" and "tenance" even though it comes from the verb "maintain." English orthography at its most spiteful.
  • maneuver - Man, the price you pay for borrowing from French is high. This one goes back to French main + oeuvre "hand-work," a spelling better retained in the British spelling, "manoeuvre."
  • medieval - The medieval orthography of English even lays traps for you: everything about the MIDdle Ages is MEDieval or, as the British would write, mediaeval.
  • memento - Why would something to remind of you of a moment be spelled "memento?" Well, it is.
  • millennium - Here is another big word, large enough to hold two double consonants, double [l] and double [n].
  • miniature - Since that [a] is seldom pronounced, it is seldom included in the spelling. This one is a "mini ature;" remember that.
  • minuscule - Since something minuscule is smaller than a miniature, shouldn't they be spelled similarly? Less than cool, or "minus cule."
  • mischievous - This mischievous word holds two traps: [i] before [e] and [o] before [u]. Four of the five vowels in English reside here.
  • misspell - What is more embarrassing than to misspell the name of the problem? Just remember that it is mis + spell and that will spell you the worry about spelling "spell."

N

  • neighbor - The word "neighbor" breaks the i-before-e rule and invokes the silent "gh". This is fraught with error potential. If you use British spelling, it will cost you another [u]: "neighbour."
  • noticeable - The [e] is noticeably retained in this word to indicate the [c] is "soft," pronounced like [s]. Without the [e], it would be pronounced "hard," like [k], as in "applicable."

O

  • occasionally - Writers occasionally tire of doubling so many consonants and omit one, usually one of the [l]s. Don't you ever do it.
  • occurrence - Remember not only the occurrence of double double consonants in this word, but that the suffix is -ence, not -ance. No reason, just the English language keeping us on our toes.

P

  • pastime - Since a pastime is something you do to pass the time, you would expect a double [s] here. Well, there is only one. The second [s] was slipped through the cracks in English orthography long ago.
  • perseverance - All it takes is perseverance and you, too, can be a (near-)perfect speller. The suffix is -ance for no reason at all.
  • personnel - Funny Story: The assistant Vice-President of Personnel notices that his superior, the VP himself, upon arriving at his desk in the morning opens a small, locked box, smiles, and locks it back again. Some years later when he advanced to that position (inheriting the key), he came to work early one morning to be assured of privacy. Expectantly, he opened the box. In it was a single piece of paper which said: "Two Ns, one L."
  • playwright - Those who play right are right-players, not playwrights. Well, since they write plays, they should be "play-writes," wright right? Rong Wrong. Remember that a play writer in Old English was called a "play worker" and "wright" is from an old form of "work" (wrought iron, etc.)
  • possession - Possession possesses more [s]s than a snake.
  • precede - What follows, succeeds, so what goes before should, what? No, no, no, you are using logic. Nothing confuses English spelling more than common sense. "Succeed" but "precede." (Wait until you see "supersede.")
  • principal/principle - The spelling principle to remember here is that the school principal is a prince and a pal (despite appearances)--and the same applies to anything of foremost importance, such as a principal principle. A "principle" is a rule. (Thank you, Meghan Cope, for help on this one.)
  • privilege - According to the pronunciation (not "pronounciation"!) of this word, that middle vowel could be anything. Remember: two [i]s + two [e]s in that order.
  • pronunciation - Nouns often differ from the verbs they are derived from. This is one of those. In this case, the pronunciation is different, too, an important clue.
  • publicly - Let me publicly declare the rule (again): if the adverb comes from an adjective ending on -al, you include that ending in the adverb; if not, as here, you don't.

Q

  • questionnaire - The French doing it to us again. Double up on the [n]s in this word and don't forget the silent [e]. Maybe someday we will spell it the English way.

R

  • receive/receipt - I hope you have received the message by now: [i] before [e] except after . . . .
  • recommend - I would recommend you think of this word as the equivalent of commending all over again: re+commend. That would be recommendable.
  • referred - Final consonants are often doubled before suffixes (remit: remitted, remitting). However, this rule applies only to accented syllables ending on [l] and [r], e.g. "rebelled," "referred" but "traveled," "buffered" and not containing a diphthong, e.g. "prevailed," "coiled."
  • reference - Refer to the last mentioned word and also remember to add -ence to the end for the noun.
  • relevant - The relevant factor here is that the word is not "revelant," "revelent," or even "relevent." [l] before [v] and the suffix -ant.
  • restaurant - 'Ey, you! Remember, these two words when you spell "restaurant." They are in the middle of it.
  • rhyme - Actually, "rime" was the correct spelling until 1650. After that, egg-heads began spelling it like "rhythm." Why? No rhyme nor reason other than to make it look like "rhythm."
  • rhythm - This one was borrowed from Greek (and conveniently never returned) so it is spelled the way we spell words borrowed from Greek and conveniently never returned.

S

  • schedule - If perfecting your spelling is on your schedule, remember the [sk] is spelled as in "school." (If you use British or Canadian pronunciation, why do you pronounce this word [shedyul] but "school," [skul]? That has always puzzled me.)
  • separate - How do you separate the [e]s from the [a]s in this word? Simple: the [e]s surround the [a]s.
  • sergeant - The [a] needed in both syllables of this word has been pushed to the back of the line. Remember that, and the fact that [e] is used in both syllables, and you can write your sergeant without fear of misspelling his rank.
  • supersede - This word supersedes all others in perversity. As if we don't have enough to worry about, keeping words on -ceed and -cede ("succeed," "precede," etc.) straight in our minds, this one has to be different from all the rest. The good news is: this is the only English word based on this stem spelled -sede.

T

  • their/they're/there - They're all pronounced the same but spelled differently. Possessive is "their" and the contraction of "they are" is "they're." Everywhere else, it is "there."
  • threshold - This one can push you over the threshold. It looks like a compound "thresh + hold" but it isn't. Two [h]s are enough.
  • twelfth - Even if you omit the [f] in your pronunciation of this word (which you shouldn't do), it is retained in the spelling.
  • tyranny - If you are still resisting the tyranny of English orthography at this point, you must face the problem of [y] inside this word, where it shouldn't be. The guy is a "tyrant" and his problem is "tyranny." (Don't forget to double up on the [n]s, too.)

U

  • until - I will never stop harping on this until this word is spelled with an extra [l] for the last time!

V

  • vacuum - If your head is not a vacuum, remember that the silent [e] on this one married the [u] and joined him inside the word where they are living happily ever since. Well, the evidence is suggestive but not conclusive. Anyway, spell this word with two [u]s and not like "volume."

WXYZ

  • weather - Whether you like the weather or not, you have to write the [a] after the [e] when you spell it.
  • weird - It is weird having to repeat this rule so many times: [i] before [e] except after...? (It isn't [w]!)

Describing Action in Progress

In this picture,* there are many people riding on a bus. Some of the people arestanding and some are sitting. The bus driver is talking to a young man who is just getting on the bus. An old woman is standing in the aisle and is leaning against a post. She looks very tired. Next to her, there is a shopping cart full of groceries. Two men are standing near the old woman. They are arguing about something. On the right side of the bus, there is a bald man looking out the window, and sitting behind him is a young man listening to the radio. On the left side of the bus, there are some girls chatting happily while someone is smoking in the seat behind them. I think this looks like a typical day on the bus in Taiwan.

陳超明 希望這一代英文更好
2009/10/14
【聯合報╱記者孫蓉華／台北報導】

陳超明教授認為，英文需要活用，不能死背。 本報資料照片／記者曾學仁攝影
政治大學英文系教授陳超明今年3月至8月，在聯合報教育版推出「一生必學的英文文法」系列，還試驗性質到高中教英文，很多人問為何大學教授要寫文法書？要到高中教學？他說，就只是一份使命感，希望我們這一代的英文會更好。

大學生的英文程度參差不齊，甚至被批評一代不如一代，陳超明一改傳統大學教授不碰高中以下英文文法書的觀念，不僅寫了「一生必學的英文文法」專欄，還到高中教了一個月英文。他說，打破傳統的目的，只是要證明學習英文沒有這麼難，只要用對方法就能有效地學習，不要被文法「術語」綁死。

陳超明說，大學生的英文不好，與台灣整個教育體制有關，不能怪學生學不好，如果老師在課堂上只一再教用不到的文法，讓學生失去學習興趣，加上沒有機會去說、去寫、去加強閱讀，英文當然學不好。要改變國中高中英文學不好的問題， 不能只有抱怨，要找出問題，他發現，高中老師仍無法放棄文法，考試仍考文法。事實上從大學學測、指考到多益、托福等，都已不考文法，老師傳統的教法需要改變。

他強調，語言學習中一定要認識語言是活的，單字、文法不是唯一架構，是思考工具，先要去學最基礎的，再來是高階的，去體會思考文字、語言之美。

陳超明認為，要打破文法與單字這兩大魔咒才能把英語學好，文法只要記住簡單的原則，不要被文法的框框設限，不要害怕用錯文法，即使美國人也有錯用文法的時候，何況我們是「外國人」。

陳超明說，只要維持基本文法規則、養成長期閱讀的習慣，唯有多讀多看，學到的東西才是自己的。

99學測英文考科非選擇題評分說明

【第一處　林秀慧】

　　99學年度學科能力測驗（簡稱99學測）已於1月29、30日舉行完畢，而今年英文科的試題延續前幾年的題型，包含了選擇題與非選擇題兩部分，第壹部分占總分72分，皆為單選題，題型包括了詞彙題、綜合測驗、文意選填，及閱讀測驗；第貳部分占28分，共分為兩種題型：（一）翻譯題，為文意相連貫的兩個小題，每小題4分，共占8分；其評分原則，乃依所評量之語法與詞彙用字兩部分評分。（二）英文作文部分則為看圖作文的題型，以連環漫畫的形式呈現，但第四張圖片空白，讓考生發揮想像力，自由發展；考生必須根據提示，運用所學詞彙、句法寫出切合主題、並具有統一性與連貫性的短文，占分比例一樣維持20分。今年無論是翻譯題或英文作文試題，命題得宜，符合一般高中生的英語學習歷程，考生不難發揮，應會有不錯的表現。

　　今年之非選擇題閱卷工作，共聘請150位閱卷委員（含正、副召集人），由各公、私立大學英文相關科系教授擔任，共分為12組。為使各閱卷委員評分標準一致，英文考科於1月31上午九時召開「英文科閱卷評分標準訂定會議」，由正、副召集人和12位協同主持人共同參與，就4000多份隨機抽取的考生答案卷詳加討論、分析，草擬評分標準原則，並從中選出翻譯題與英文作文之參閱卷以及試閱卷。在擬定參考答案的同時，參考各語料庫（如COCA、BNC），確保答案之正確性。

　　正式閱卷當天（2月1日）上午九時，各組協同主持人向各組閱卷委員說明評分原則、參考樣卷等資料，旋即進行試閱的工作。試閱結束後，召開「評分標準再訂定會議」，對評分標準進行討論與修正，待評分共識一致後，才開始進行正式閱卷工作。與往年相同，一、二閱由分屬兩個不同組的閱卷委員擔任，若一、二閱分數差距超出許可範圍（翻譯題部分差距達3分，英文作文部分差距達6分），則由第三閱（由正/副召集人或協同主持人擔任）評分，以求閱卷之合理性與公平性。為求評分標準一致性，在閱卷的同時，觀察閱卷委員之評閱情形，若有標準無法掌握之情事，則請閱卷委員停止閱卷的工作，重新檢閱評分標準，再繼續閱卷工作，近一、二年來如此進行之流程後，須進行三閱的情形大幅降低了。

　　兹將今年非選擇題部分各題之參考答案、評分標準說明如下（依據「99學年度學科能力測驗人工閱卷英文考科評分標準訂定會議」），以供各界參考。今年國文、英文考科預計於3月19日公佈引導寫作佳作供外界參考，屆時請至大考中心網站查詢。

一、翻譯題

<>　　
說明：
　　1.請將以下兩題中文譯成正確而通順達意的英文，並將答案寫在「答案卷」上。
　　2.請依序作答，並標明題號。每題4分，共8分。

　1. 在過去，腳踏車主要是作為一種交通工具。

　2. 然而，騎腳踏車現在已經成為一種熱門的休閒活動。

　　本題型測驗目標為評量考生將中文句子譯成正確、通順、達意英文的能力。今年翻譯題的句型與詞彙，皆為高中生應該熟習的，評量的重點在於考生是否能運用熟悉的字詞（比如：腳踏車bicycle/bike、交通工具a means of transportation、然而however、休閒leisure/recreational、活動activity、主要mainly等）與基本句型翻譯成正確且達意的英文句子（如：served as/were used as、in the past、riding bicycles/bicycle-riding/cycling、has become等的用法）。所測驗之標的詞彙（target words）都屬於大考中心詞彙表四級內之詞彙，考生作答大致無太多的困難。試題之參考答案及評分標準，請見以下說明：

參考答案：第1題


參考答案：第2題

{　}（大括弧）表示皆為可使用之字詞。

評分標準：
1.本大題總分8分，每小題滿分4分。
2.各部份獨立且各為1分；每個錯誤扣0.5分，各部份扣完為止。
3.相同之拼字錯誤只扣一次。
4.句首未大寫或標點符號不妥，各扣0.5分，只扣一次。

二、英文作文

<>　　
說明：
　　1. 依提示在「答案卷」上寫一篇英文作文。
　　2. 文長至少120個單詞(words)。

評分標準：

　　本大題總分20分。今年回復到多圖的看圖寫作題型，與去年學測的單圖看圖寫作略有不同，但四格圖片中只畫了三格，並沒有提供結局，希望給考生更多的寫作發揮空間。英文作文主要在於評量考生掌握語法能力及使用適當詞彙、句型以寫出一篇具連貫性、統一性的英文作文。目前，英文科主要採整體式評分（holistic scoring），分為五等級：特優（19-20分）、優（15-18分）、可（10-14分）、差（5-9分）、劣（0-4分）；為確認評分之一致性，在試閱時，閱卷委員皆被要求完全理解評分標準。本中心的分項式評分指標包含下列5項：內容（5分）、組織（5分）、文法句構（4分）、字彙拼字（4分），及體例（2分）（詳見表1）。在經過試閱階段的共識建立後，閱卷委員皆能掌握整體的評分方式，因此達成評分的一致性。根據作答說明，文長至少120個字詞，若字數不足，扣1分。

Travel Is The Best Teacher

I´ve been to many countries before, and I enjoy my trip very much every time. To me, travel is the best teacher. By traveling, I can always broaden my mind and open my eyes to the things about which I had no idea before; I could also see the things which appeared only in the textbook before and that´s no doubt a wonderful experience.

Last summer, I went to Malaysia with a foundation, I used to consider it to be a poor country, but I was totally shocked at how prosperous it is! So many tall buildings and well-organized communities were right before my eyes! We also had some interaction with the local students. I found their learning attitude very active, which was very different from that of the Taiwanese students.

After my trip to Malaysia, I realized that many countries in Asia are prospering, while Taiwan seems to be going backward. I also remind myself that we should never look down on others, and we should equip ourselves with knowledge and unique perspectives, so that we may be able to be outstanding rather than being overwhelmed by the others. We should be more active in our learning and try to set up our goals.

If I hadn´t been to Malaysia, I wouldn´t have gained so many insights in these things. To me, travel is truly the best teacher.

說明：主題清楚、具體，內容豐富；重點分明、組織完整且連貫。文句結構變化豐富，幾無文法錯誤（稍有時態不一致的錯誤，例第二對的第一句Last summer...foundation後的逗號應為句號。）；用字得宜（但第一段第三句中的broaden my mind應為broaden my horizons）。

When you saw the romantic EiffelTower in the movies, or watched the Great Wall of China on TV, have you ever imagined that you could admire such specific constructions on the sense some day? The advantages of traveling is a lot. First, traveling can make us open our eyes, we can see the senery not through the media, but by ourselves. How wonderful that you can appreciate breathtaking senses just in front of them! Second, with the advanced education, we have known a wide variety of knowledges about many countries. Such as history, climate and even customs, but if we never been the places, it is no use to get so many informations.

During the winter vacation this year, I took a trip to Sigapore with my family. This was my first time to go abroad. In those four days, I learned a lot about this lively country, including saw the famous Merlion, visited the Indian temple ... etc. When the guide gave some informations for us at some spots, I could merge them in to the geography class easily, even could answer the questions from the guide. I was proud of that I could use the knowledge in books to the real life!

However, there is a great deal of advantages about traveling, so I sincerely recommend that you should take a travel someday!

Travel Is The Best Teacher

Many people like to read books because we can learn a lot of information from it. However, sometimes it´s not enough. For example, when the author described how spectacular the view is, we can´t feel how it is, since we fail to experience it personally. At this moment, all we have to do is go traveling. Only traveling can solve our confusion and satisfy our curious heart. When we go traveling, we can extend our sight, know things that we never know and even learn some lesson from it.

I remember that one time I took a trip to mainland china with my family. We paid a visit to WestLake. The scenery I saw really breathtaking. I liked the lake when I was a child. But I didn´t know how big it was! I was so excited that I ran aroud the lake. The astonishing view was not a book could give me. Suddenly, I saw a person throw a gabage to the lake. How could he do that! It actually broke the impression I used have on the Chinese people. Maybe it was a lesson for me.

Travel is the best teacher, there are three reasons why I consider it. First, we can see anything what we have never seen by traveling around the world. Second, we can realize how different the culture is between us. Last but not least, we can learn a lot of knowledge by ourselies which it have never appeared from the book.

For example, I have gone to the U.S six years ago. I have seen a lot of insterting things in the U.S. The culture is very different from us. The travel not only make me grow a great deal of knowledge but also let me had a good time there. Because of the travel, I can really see anything what I have never read from the book. In my opinion, I think travel is the best teacher of me.

Essay Keywords

Every essay question will generally contain a key word that tells you what kind of answer your teacher wants. Here is a list of some key words commonly found in essay questions:

Analyze

Separate out the parts and show how they relate to the whole. For example, whether you are asked to analyze a poem, story, or play, you will need to look at individual elements such as point of view, setting, characters, plot, imagery or symbolism, and motifs or themes. See how each of these elements contributes to the overall meaning of the work.


Argue

Give reasons for or against. Be sure to use specific examples to back up your points.


Compare and contrast

These words often appear together but not always. If you are asked to compare, show the similarities and the differences. If you are asked to contrast, show only the differences.


Describe

Write about a subject in detail, often so that the reader gets a clear mental picture or image of what you are describing.


Discuss

Write about a subject in detail, giving reasons and examples.


Summarize

State the main ideas briefly, leaving out specific examples.
