在托福写作考试中，一些空洞的单词或词组根本不能为句子带来任何相关的或重要的信息，完全可以被删掉。比如下面的句子：
When all things are considered， young adults of today live more satisfying lives than those of their parents， in my opinion.
这句话当中的“when all things are considered”和“in my opinion“都显得多余，完全可以去掉，改为：
Young adults of today live more satisfying lives than their parents.
有些空洞和繁琐的表达方式可以进行替换，例如：
Due to the fact that our grandparents were under an obligation to help their parents， they did not have the options that young people have at this point in time.
“due to the fact that”就是一个很典型的繁琐的表达方式的例子，可以替换，简化为下面的表达方式：
Because our grandparents were obligated to help their parents， they did not have the options that young people have now.
避免重复
在托福写作考试中，尽量避免重复使用同样的词汇。或者有的时候虽然词汇没有重复，但意思却有重复，这时候可以做一些简化的工作。例如下面这个例子：
The farm my grandfather grew up on was large in size.
large 对一个farm来说就是size方面的large，所以in size可以去掉，改为：
The farm my grandfather grew up on was large.
以上两个方面是小编建议大家应该在托福写作考试中避免的现象，还有很多错误是我们在写托福作文中经常犯的，在以后的文章中小编会一一讲解。
