在表达“让步”概念时，很多考生选择使用的but, anyway, all the same, though, although等为非正式文体常用词语表达。正式文体则常使用yet, however, nevertheless, in spite of (despite)， notwithstanding等词语

在构成“方式状语”时，很多考生偏爱使用副词，而这正是非正式文体常用的表达方式，正式文体则常用介词和与该副词同根的词构成的介词短语：

　　Informal: It’s very important to…。

　　Formal: It is of great importance to…。

在表达“原因”、“后果”等概念时，很多考生由于水平所限，总是使用非正式文体常用的so, because或其他形式的表示原因的从句，正式文体则常用 on account of, accordingly, thus, hence, consequently, owing to (the fact that…)等词或词组，且比较经常地运用分词短语、独立主格结构等。

 　　Informal: Since computers had proliferated, many people become addicted to the Internet。

　　Formal: Computers having proliferated, many people become addicted to the Internet。

在构成表示“目的”的状语时，很多考生使用具有非正式文体色彩的so as to；其实，用in order that引导的目的状语从句常出现于正式文体中：

 　　Informal: We should do more outdoor activities so as to enrich our life。

　　Formal: We should do more outdoor activities in order that our life gets enriched。

很多考生不会使用由引导词it引导的句子(如it is said that…)，实际上，这一结构多见于正式文体，不用这一结构而表达同一意义的句子多见于非正式文体： 　　

Informal: The number of students in the classroom has been going down。 　　

Formal: It has been noted with concern that the number of students attending class has been declining alarmingly。
