第9讲 不落俗套的亮点词汇
要想写出一篇水平比较高的书面表达,高级词汇的使用必不可少,它会大大提升文章的档次,从而帮助考生获得高分。要做到准确使用高级词汇,应该注意以下几个方面:
一、使用亮点词汇的4种方法
1.标新立异 “语”众不同
在写作时,恰当地使用一些别人可能想不到的词汇或表达,会体现出自己的高水平。
(1)Our team,besides regular training,will join in a variety of activities.
→Our team,apart/aside from regular training,will join in a variety of activities.(2017·全国Ⅲ)
(2)Several days later,when the video was played on the graduation ceremony,it was very popular.

2.多样表达 避免重复
在写作时应尽量避免重复使用相同的单词或短语,要尽量用贴切多样的词语来展示自己的水平。用词不同、表达方式迥异,也是高级用法。
(1)First of all,you’d better arrive on time because it is polite to be on time in China.
→First of all,you’d better arrive on time because it is polite to be punctual in China.

在单词和短语表示同一个意思时,优先使用短语。恰当使用短语,一方面能使文章更加生动,另一方面也能展示出学生扎实的语言功底。
(1)There is no doubt that you should know about the history of the Tang Dynasty in advance.
→There is no doubt that you are supposed to know about the history of the Tang Dynasty in advance.(2017·全国Ⅰ)

→I hear that he is ill,and I decide to pay a visit to him this Sunday.

(1)I should say sorry for being unable to go to the bookstore with you on Friday afternoon.
→I should make an apology for being unable to go to the bookstore with you on Friday afternoon.
