1)使用同義詞。
比如以下的一些新託福寫作高頻詞彙的同義詞,這些詞出現的尤為頻繁。要學會用同義詞來替換它們。
在綜合寫作中教授說話不能總是用think,還可以用believe, consider, deem, figure out。在託福獨立寫作中表示近來的時間狀況用nowadays,還可以用recently, currently, at present, in recent years, these days
再比如表示重要的`詞有important,一篇文章如果要求描寫某物重要,不能只寫important這一個詞吧,和它類似的還有 necessary, crucial, essential, vital, significant , indispensable, momentous, 如果還需要再變化,就可以用下面的改變詞性的方法。
2)改變詞性。
n.→ Adj. 比如:important改成be of importance
n. → v. When we look at a comparison between A and B…
When we compare A and B…
Adj. → n.
There are a variety of solutions to the problem.
There are various solutions to the problem.
3)更換使用不同的承接詞。承接詞不僅連線段落和段落,還連線句子和句子。熟識一些常用的承接詞對寫作將會有極大的作用。
because of → due to, owing to, because, as, since, for
but → however, nevertheless, nonetheless, whereas
so → therefore, hence, thus, consequently
4)形容詞的逆向表達。在某些形容詞上進行修改,會達到非比尋常的效果。
Eg: not as easy as…→more difficult than…
Not uncommon→common
The cheapest → the least expensive
其次,是句型的使用。在新託福寫作部分,評分標準中非常重要的一項就是句型結構,要求句型結構做到豐富多變。例如下面的典型美句,就可以讓你的文章加分:
1)it句
It is delightful to have friends from distant lands.
It is undeniable that…
It is obvious that…
2)雙否句
it is by no means uncommon to find…
…never fails to …
3)倒裝句
So severe is this problem that we have no alternative but to take some feasible measures to deal with it.
Only through education can we rise in the world.
