       以下是Mr Hu在外教办公室的门外宣传栏上发现的一个好帖子，现分享给各位，其中的很多内容应该会颠覆你以往对于很多英文写作用词的认知。不过，Mr Hu觉得这位老师总结的内容都很有道理，很有权威性，应该引起我们的注意。这样，我们自己在写英语作文时，才会逐渐克服这些毛病，让自己的“作品”尽早接近native speaker的水平。这点，对于那些打算将来出国深造的同学尤其重要，因为，毕竟英文写作是大多数中国学生的“软肋”，确实应该从平时抓起，这样你将来去了外教的全英文课堂，才能尽早适应！

         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.
