Part Ⅳ Error Correction (15 minutes) There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught has ever ignored --71-- spelling or considered it important as a basic skill. There are, --72-- however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (重点) it must be given over general language development and written ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express --73-- himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling?
If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be like to “play safe”. He will tend to --74-- write only words with his range and choose to avoid adventurous language. --75-- That is why teachers often encouraging the early use of dictionaries and --76-- pay attention to content rather than technical ability.
I was shocking to read on the piece of writing about --77-- personal experience: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is eligible.” It may have been a sharp criticism of --78-- the pupil’s technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection at the teacher who has omitted to read the essay, which contained any beautiful --79-- expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher’s wrong not to draw attention to the errors, but if his priority centered on the child’s ideas, --80-- as expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.
答案： 71.taught 之后加in。表示地点，介词不能省略。 72.important 改为 unimportant。双重否定表示肯定，每个学校都认为拼写是重要的基本的技能。 73.written改为writing，书写能力，用现在分词做定语。 74.like改为likely。be likely to表示很可能。 75.with 改为within。 within his range表示在他所知道的范围之内。 76.encouraging 改为encourage。encourage在句中做谓语动词，不能用分词形式。 77.shocking改为shocked。I was shocked表示我很吃惊。 78.eligible改为 illegible。句子的意思是，错误太多，以至难以辨认。 79.at改为 on。reflection后要接介词on。 80.centered前加had。此句是虚拟语气，要用had centered...would have。
