在新托福写作中虽然要求大家避免使用一些特别复杂的词以及那些非常初级的词汇,但是也有一些考生稍不注意就会在考试中用到。南京朗阁新托福的老师就来分享给大家新托福作文中考官 讨厌的四个词,希望大家 好使用它的替换词汇,避免这种情况发生。
 
  1.Original: The use of drugs has increased greatly in the last ten years.
  Revised: The use of drugs has increased significantly in the last ten years.
  点评:greatly是一般用语,表示程度高,“很,非常”,使用相当普遍而没有新意,在托福独立写作中应尽量避免使用这些通俗而又陈旧的词汇,应换用一些加正式,有说服力的词语,例如significantly表示达到了非常重要的或可观的程度,“重大的,可观的”,能够具体说明药品使用方面,增长幅度巨大。significantly还可以替换成considerably,tremendously等,同样具有不错的表达效果。
 
  2.Original: We know that sometimes success is measured by how much money you earn.
  Revised: It does not surprise us to discover that sometimes success is measured in terms of the money you earn.
  点评:know是非常初级的词汇,作文中出现I believe that…,I know that…这样的表达只能体现考生写作技巧的稚嫩,用It does not surprise us to discover that…替换We know that…并没有改变原句的含义,却使全句顿时增添了亮点。
 
  3.Original: Some other people think that people should read extensively.
  Revised: Another position says that people should read extensively.
  点评:同know一样,think也应该尽量避免使用,修改后的句子中是用Another position says that…代替think提出另一种观点,也可以用hold a point of view,hold the opinion这样的短语替换。 (责任编辑:admin)
