标点符合在turnitin查重中是很重要的，我们在之前的文章已经阐述过了（见文章《英文标点影响turnitin英文查重的相似度吗?》）。同样的，turnitin查重的大学英文老师也认为标点符合很重要，同时拼写也很重要，他是从一篇论文质量来评论的。
Why is punctuation and spelling important?
为什么标点和拼写很重要？
Poor grammar is something us lecturers cannot stand. When writing an essay, it is important to remember your basic English skills, for example using articles, basic sentence structure and basic punctuation. Getting the basic punctuation and grammar right will mean the reader becomes more involved in your actual arguments, rather than struggling to understand the meaning of what you have written. It can also gain you extra marks overall.
如果你的论文有很多拼写、标点符号之类的问题时，我们第一反应就是觉得你对论文特别随便，所以说，在写的时候首先要记得就是使用基本的英语技能，比如基本句式、标点符号等等。正确的使用标点和语法，能够让读者（通常是评分老师）更好的理解你的立论，而不是被费尽心思猜你写的是什么，或者是被烂语法虐的想撞墙。所以，好的语法会给你加分的（这也是为什么很多学校的评分标准里，会有语法一项）。
What can I do to improve in this area?
我想进步进步！可以帮我么？
Try to follow the basic structure for paragraphs (P.E.E.), as outlined above. Also get someone else to check your work if possible and see if they can understand your meaning. Additionally, always spell check your work before submitting and factor in time to check your work before the final submission – checking should be part of the essay writing process!
通过上述的P.E.E标准格式，可以避免语法错误。另外，如果可以的话，请人来帮你检查，或者只是看一下他们理解的和你想阐述的是不是一样。最后，在提交之前，一定要再检查一下拼写。
