REPORT RESEARCH ON : METHODS TO DEAL WITH ERROR IDENTIFICATION IN NATIONAL EXAMINATION FOR STUDENTS

IN TAM DAO 2 HIGH SCHOOL

1 INTRODUCTION

Identifying errors in an English sentence or paragraph is a difficult exercise that many students find confusing and time consuming to solve Identifying errors in sentences or paragraphs not only requires students to master a lot of integrated English knowledge, but it also requires them to be able to think, analyze and judge quickly.

In order to do well in this type of exercises in the exams, students should note the following two points:

* Do not focus on the whole sentence and its meaning.

* Focus on observing the underlined words / phrases (in the objective test), the words / phrases before and after them to find the link between the components in the sentence Finding the uncertainty in the relationship between two components will help students get the answer.

This session will help them have an overview of common mistakes in the format

of the lesson, methods to help them detect and identify errors, and provide them with the type of exercise The agency helps students understand better, do better

in exams.

5 FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INITIATIVE

6 THE DATE THE INITIATIVE WAS FIRST APPLIED

Example 1: She is quiet intelligent.

In this example, because intelligent is an adjective, we have to use an adverb to expand its meaning, but the author has intentionally misspelled quite the adverb quite (the adverb means Vietnamese as "pretty" ) into the word quiet (it is an adjective, Vietnamese means "quiet") So the correct sentence here must be: She

is quite intelligent (She is quite intelligent)

Example 2: She is very nine.

In this example, after the adverb very we have to use an adjective, but the author deliberately wrote the word nice (adjective) into the word nine (number

of words) so the sentence does not make sense So the answer D is wrong and the correct answer is: She is very nice.

7.1.2 Semantic error

The proposer will use the wrong meaning of a word or phrase in the sentence The task of the students is to find that mistake through the knowledge they have learned.

Example 1: She works very hardly.

In terms of type adverbs, the adverb is used to expand the meaning of the verb and thus the adverb hardly extends the meaning for the work verb, but in this example, hardly is wrong because of its Vietnamese meaning is "almost not", but this sentence refers to "she works very hard / hard" so we have to use the adverb hard (meaning "hard, hard") to be correct The correct answer would be: She works very hard.

Example 2: Mary didn’t come to the party with her boyfriend last night in spite

of bad weather

After checking the answers, we are all grammatically correct When we consider the meaning of the sentence, we find that the answer D is wrong and needs to be corrected by two parts of the sentence using incorrectly connected words The correct correction here would be: Mary didn’t come to the party with her boyfriend last night because of bad weather.

7.2.Grammatical errors

This is the most common form of identifying errors This type of error is related to many different grammar fields in English It requires students to master basic to advanced grammar topics Common types of errors in this form include:

7.2.1 False about harmony between subject and verb

The errors to be determined will mainly be the main verb and subject of the sentence Often in these sentences, the subject and the verb do not stand next

to each other, but can be interjected by other elements (relative clauses, relative pronouns, etc.).

Example 1: The study of languages are very interesting.

In this sentence we see "the study" is the main subject of the sentence This subject is singular so the verb in the sentence needs to be singular but here

the verb is divided as "are" So this sentence is wrong in the verb and the correct correction is: The study of languages is very interesting.

Ex 2: I like pupils who works very hard

A B C D

In the sentence we see that answers A and C are verbs Consider answer A

is correct because the subject is "I" But the answer B, based on the meaning (I like students who study hard), we find the noun "written" in the plural form to

be true The relative pronoun "who" replaces the plural noun "meteor" so the verb following must also be divided by the plural noun Thus, answer C is the wrong answer and needs correction The correct sentence here will be: I like to know who work very hard.

7.2.2 Tense in the verb tense, the combination of using tenses

Mistakes to identify will mostly fall into the verbs of the sentence In sentences, there are usually adverbs of time (adverbs are often a sign to recognize tenses) or adverb clauses for time begin with conjunctions like: when /

as (when), just as (while), while (while), until / till (until), whenever (whenever),

no sooner than (right away), hardly when (right away), as long as (as long

as, until), since (since),

EX: We only get home from France yesterday

In the sentence we see the adverb indicating the time "yesterday" (yesterday) so the verb in the sentence will be divided in the past simple tense.

So get must change to got The correct sentence is: We only got home from france yesterday Translation sentence: We just came home from France yesterday.

EX: We are going to visit our grandparents when we will finish our exams

A B C D

Considering the underlined words, we pay special attention to the answers

A, C, D (underline the tenses of verbs and conjunctions) We see that answers A and C are all right, and only answer D is wrong because in a sentence, if the main clause is divided into the simple future or the structure "be going to ", the verb in the sub-clause (par adverb) must be in the present simple tense So we have to remove "will" to get the correct sentence.

7.2.3 Wrong about using word type

Mistakes that need to be determined are mainly related to the type word (be it nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs).

Ex1: He studied very hard, so he passed the exam easy.

In the sentence we see that the word easy is misused because it requires a adverb to expand the meaning of the phrase passed the exam Instead of using adverbs, they use adjectives so the word easy has to be easily changed The correct answer would be: He studied very hard, so he passed the exam easily.

Ex: Women wear make-up to beautiful themselves.

A B C D Considering the answers A, B, C, D, we find that answer C is wrong because in this position we need a verb after "to" indicating the purpose of the action The correct answer would be: Women wear make-up to beautify

themselves

7.2.4 Wrong about using prepositions / verb phrases

The mistakes that need to be determined are mainly prepositions (in, on,

at, of, with, ) or verb phrases (depend on, consist of, focus on, ) in the sentence.

Ex 1: The plane is flying on the sky.

In terms of meaning, this sentence is not wrong by "on" means "on" and this sentence we can translate as "the plane is flying in the sky" But in terms of using prepositions in English exam The preposition on in this sentence is incorrect and needs to be corrected When using the English preposition often compare the two objects are compared with each other, that is, compare the plane with the sky so it must be in the sky The correct sentence would then be: The plane is flying in the sky.

Ex 2: It is many years for Mount Vesuvius last erupted.

A B C D

In this sentence, the answer C is wrong and needs to be fixed because before a timeline (the last time Mount Vesuvius flows) we do not use the preposition "for" In the case of mathematical representation, we only use "for" before a period of time (for weeks, for two years, ) but before a timeline we have to use since, so this sentence must be corrected as follows: It is many years since Mount Vesuvius last erupted.

7.2.5 False in other grammar topics such as passive sentences, indirect indirect sentences, comparative sentences, relational pronouns, articles, etc.

The errors to identify are usually verbs for passive sentences and indirect indirect sentences For comparative sentence form, it is usually an error due to using the wrong comparative form of adjectives and adverbs For the relative clause form, it is usually the mistake due to improper use of relative pronouns or redundant words that the relative pronoun has replaced, etc.

Ex 1: The place where we visisted yesterday is very quiet.

The mistake to identify in this example is the word "where" Although

"place" is a noun that indicates a place, we cannot use the "where" relative adverb to replace it because it depends on the verb behind "visit" Therefore, we must use the relative pronoun "which" instead of the adverb "where" The

correct sentence here will be: The place which we visisted yesterday is very quiet

Ex 2: He told me that he will go to America the next week.

A B C D

Looking through the answers, we see that the answers A, C, D are all correct So answer B is the wrong answer because it is a direct-indirect sentence type so the main verb in the sentence needs to go back one tense That means the verb "will" must be reversed to "would" and the correct sentence will be: He told me that he would go to America the next week.

7.2.6 Error about verb form: V-ing, to V, V (inf)

The errors that need to be determined will usually be verbs followed by other verbs or object, etc In order to identify the errors, students need to master the knowledge related to the verb form (V_ing, to V, V (inf).

Ex 1: My parents never let me to go out late at night.

Reading this sentence, we find that the verb "to go" is wrong and must be corrected to "go" because the verb "let" in front has the structure "let + O + V" The correct sentence is: My parents never let me go out late at night.

V-A in this sentence is wrong and must be changed to "living" The correct

sentence would be: I can’t help living with a person who is always making noise.

7.2.7 Incorrect parallel structure

This error is quite common in the exam questions, especially the national high school exam The mistakes that need to be identified are usually one of the listed objects (they can be verbs, nouns, adjectives, adverbs, or clauses).

Ex: John enjoys listening to music, watching TV and play football.

Normally after the enjoy verb we have to use the verb in the form "ing" but in this sentence we see that there are two verbs added "ing", and the third verb (play) is not added "ing" ” So the error here is the play verb because it doesn't go along with the previous two verbs (listening, watching) after enjoying The correct sentence would be: John enjoys listening to music, watching TV and playing football.

Ex2: Peter is rich, handsome, and many people like him.

A B C D

In this sentence after the verb "to be" we need to use adjectives and with the underlined answers, B and C are all correct because they are adjectives In

parallel structure with conjunctions (and, or), it is necessary to use words of the same type together so the answer D is wrong because it is not the same type of word with B and C We can replace the answer D into a common word so that all words are adjectives and then the sentence will be: Peter is rich, handsome and popular.

7.2.8 Wrong about using other sentence structures: so that, such that, too , enough , hardy when, no sooner than

The errors that need to be determined will usually be a word in that

structure, or verbs divided by that structure, etc

Ex 1: There were such many books on the shelves that I didn’t know

which one to choose.

In this example sentence we can easily see that the word "such" is wrong and must be corrected to "so" because we have the structure "S + V + so + much / many + N + that + clause (There are so many but…) We do not use

"such" in this structure, although the usual structure with it is "S + V + such + (a / an) + adj + N + that + clause The correct answer here is: There were so many books on the shelves that I didn’t know which one to choose.

Ex 2: Hardly had she left her office than her boss phoned

her A B C D Considering the answers A, B, C, D in the above example we see that the answers C are wrong and need to be fixed because we often have a fixed

structure "Hardly + had + S + VpII + when / before + S + Ved / pI ” Thus the word "coal" used here does not fit the structure and it must be changed to

"when or before" The correct answer would be: Hardly had she left her office when / before her boss phoned her

7.3: METHODS OF EXERCISING EXERCISES

FORM 1: Errors in spelling

no meaning in English So we need to fix the above sentence: I will miss your house very much, Johnny.

Ex 2: At Christmas I like being given a present by Satan Claus.

A B C D Detailed explanation instructions: The wrong answer that needs to be corrected in this example sentence is answer D In this sentence the author wants

to say that "on the occasion of Christmas, the author likes to be given gifts by Santa" but rather because the author correctly wrote the word "Santa" in the phrase "Santa Claus" which means' Santa Claus ", the author misspelled the position of the letter" n "in the word" Santa " So the above sentence needs to be

revised: At Christmas I like being given a present by Santa Claus.

Ex 3: Cambridge City Sea you again.

A B C D Detailed explanation instructions: The wrong answer that needs to be corrected in the above example is answer B In this sentence, the author wants to express “Cambridge City See you later, "but instead of using the correct verb" see ", the author uses the noun" sea "which means" sea "although the word" sea

"is the homonym of" see ".So we need to fix the above sentence: Cambridge City See you again.

FORM 2: Semantic error

1 General methods

* Read through the sentence to understand the meaning of the sentence, especially paying attention to the linking words and conjunctions between the clauses in the sentence.

* Construct sentences on the basis of analyzing the related errors, paying attention to the underlined words, especially the words that link the previous clause with the following clause.

* Use your own vocabulary knowledge to analyze the meaning of the sentences, the 2 clauses in the sentence and related links to identify the errors that need to

be corrected Usually are the linking words / conjunctions in adverb clauses indicating cause, adverb clauses indicating causality or adverb clauses, etc.

Ex 3: She overslept this morning but she went to school late.

A B C D Detailed explanation instructions: The wrong answer that needs to be corrected in this sentence is answer B In this example, the author means that she oversleep this morning so she goes to school late but instead of using it the causal noun "so" means "therefore, so" the author uses the noun "but" to mean

"but" Misuse of these conjunctions has made the meaning of the sentences change and is incorrect So the correct sentence here would be: She overslept

this morning so she went to school late.

Ex 4: I went to school on time because of the heavy rain.

A B C D Detailed explanation instructions: After reading the whole sentence and checking all the underlined answers, there is no incorrect grammar or spelling When we consider the meaning of the sentence, we find that answer C is wrong and needs correcting Instead of using the phrase "in spite of" or "despite" meaning "though", the author uses the phrase "because of" which means

"because / because" and that use has made the meaning of incorrect sentences.

The correct answer is: I went to school on time in spite of the heavy rain FORM 3: Grammar errors

1 General methods

* Skim the whole sentence to identify the components in the sentence such as main subject, main verb, object, associated clauses (adverb clauses, relative clauses, noun clauses, )

* After determining the components of the sentence, we pay attention to the subject-verb harmony by determining whether the subject is singular or plural so that we can use the correct verb.

*The next step is to identify the signs that identify the verb, whether the verb is broken down in the past, the present, or the future.

* Continue to pay attention to whether the sentence is proactive or passive based

on the subject and the whole sentence Usually when the subject is an object, the sentence has a passive meaning and vice versa when it is a person, the meaning

it is easy to see that answer B is wrong The word every + N (singular) + V (divide it) but in this example the verb is divided into the plural into "were" So the sentence to correct is: Every member of the class was invited to the party by the former teacher Translating "all members of the class are invited by the old

teacher to the party"

Ex 2: I learned English since I was 6 years old

A B C D

Detailed explanation instructions: In the sentence we notice that the main verb "learn" is underlined and divided in the past simple tense However, in this sentence, there is the word "since", the conjugated often used with the present perfect tense with the structure of mathematical expressions + since + QKĐ So the wrong answer that needs to be corrected in this sentence is answer A The correct answer is: I have learned English since I was 6 years old Dich means "I have been learning English ever since I was 6 years old.

" Ex 3: If you write the essay careful, you will get good mark.

A B C D Detailed explanation instructions: Considering the answers A, B, C, D in this sentence, it is easy to see that answer C is wrong and needs to be corrected because at this position we need to use an adverb to open expand the meaning

of the phrase "write the essay", namely, expand the meaning for the verb

"write" The correct correction is: If you write the essay carefully, you will get good mark.
