中国人写
主语多样化：中国人习惯于用人称主语，而英语中则常用无灵主语
(inanimate subject)，即无生命的事物作主语，如：
1.The last two decades has witnessed earth-shaking changes in China.
中国在过去的二十年中发生了翻天覆地的变化。
2 A strange peace came over her when she was alone.
她独处时感到一种特别的安宁。
3 I am very sorry that the pressure of other occupations has prevented me from sending an earlier reply to your letter.
由于我近来事务繁忙，没能给于及早回复，对此我表示深深的歉意。
4 The smallest excuse would have served.
其实，你随便找个哪怕最小的借口就可以了。
5 That night sleep eluded me.
那天晚上我彻夜未眠。
6 The old house has seen better days.
这座老房子的主人曾过着更好的生活。
7 Everything at the party spoke of careful planning.
派对上的一切都说明主人进行了精心策划。
8 A terrible thought suddenly struck me—had I locked the door?
我突然产生了一个可怕的想法——我锁门了吗?
9 When he had to speak, his confidence suddenly deserted him.
等到不得不说话时，他却突然没了信心。
在英语中没有生命的事物作主语，来作为动作的发出者是相当普遍的现象，几乎和人称主语句平分秋色。但由于受汉语思维的束缚，我们往往觉得人作主语更自然，因此大多数情况下，我们中国学生不假思索地采取汉语的思维去表达，如上述例1、例5和例9，很可能会写作如下的样子：
1b. Great changes have taken place in China in the last two decades.
5b. I failed to fall into sleep that night.
5c. I kept awake all through that night.
9b. When he had to speak, he suddenly lost confidence.
我们既然已经了解了英语的这种独特思维，写托福作文时，我们要有意识地按照英语的思维去表达，这样不仅能写出地道的英语句子，也避免了作文中千篇一律的“人”主宰一切的枯燥和沉闷的氛围。
