最常用错的雅思作文五组词(二)
assume及claim使用不够准确 我们知道，think, assume, claim是议论文中常用引出观点的动词。在实际作文中，同学们往往认为几个词的意思是一样的，完全可以代换，所以拿过来就用。甚至还有同学把consider也拿过来与之混用。我们首先还是从定义来看这几个词的不同： Think: to have opinion or belief about sth. 翻译为“认为”，通常接宾语从句来表达比较确定的观点。 Assume: to think or accept that sth is true but without having proof of it. 翻译为“假设、假定”，是否有事实依据是不确定的。 Claim: to say sth is true although it has not been proved and other people may not believe it. 翻译为“声称”，用这个词往往意味着不赞同紧跟其后的观点，所以很少用作‘I claim that… Scientist are claiming a breakthrough in the fight against cancer, but in fact, …. 所以‘It is claimed that’通常翻译为“有报道称......”。和‘it is reported that ’的区别在于后者翻译为“据报道”，往往代表着作者赞同报告的内容。 Consider: to think about sth carefully, especially in order to make a decision 翻译为“考虑”，一般不用作引出观点，看个例子： We are considering buying a new car. 所以，千万不要在雅思大作文的第一段(观点表达段)就因为用词把握不准而导致对整篇文章的低分印象。 表“建议”的词汇后面忘记用虚拟从句 这是摘自学生雅思作文中的一个病句： I suggest he continues his study instead of working after graduation from high school. 因为‘suggest’翻译为“建议”，所以后面的从句应该用虚拟语气，应该改为 “(should) continue” 所以，一定要牢记以下常见表“建议”的词汇，而且要记住这些词接从句时要用虚拟语气： Recommend, suggest, advise such as与for example的混用 我们知道，在表示举例子的时候，such as与like是完全等同的，如：Wild flowers such as/like orchids and primroses are becoming rare. 但是同学们对于Such as、for example 的把握还是不够准确。我们都知道，后者接句子, 前者接词语表示举例子。于是就有了下面的写法： There is a similar word in many languages, such as in French and Italian. 这里的such as改为 for example为好，因为“in French and Italian”其实是“there is a similar word in French and Italian”的简化，所以要用for example来引出例证。再来看几个类似的例子： It is possible to combine computer science with other subjects, for example physics. 最后，提醒各位雅思考生，在平时的写作中绝对不能放过任何的模棱两可，只有平时“斤斤计较”才能做到“写作使人精确”。
最常用错的雅思作文五组词(二)的延伸阅读——IELTS考试写作技巧之有效的句子要有重点，并且要突出重点
同学们已经对IELTS考试的写作有了比较客观的认识，下面两全其美网校城编辑简单总结IELTS考试写作技巧： 1. 把重点摆在句首或句尾。 一般而论，最显眼的位置是在“句尾，其次是在句首，中间的位置最平淡，乏善可陈。例如： (1) Incorrect grammar and improper construction invariably distract readers'attention. (2) The history of vocabulary is, in many ways, the record of civilisation. 把重点放在句尾是种“吊胃口”的方法，读者或听者非得读完或听完整句不可。 2. 在复杂句里，把主句放在从句之后。 除了名词从句和形容词从句之外，因为它们位置较固定，副词从句中有几种的位置灵活，可以在主句之前出现， 也可以跟在主句之后。通常我们就把这样的副词从句提前，重点则放在后头的主句，如(3b)： (3a) I came upon an old classmate when I went to town yesterday. (3b) When I went to town yesterday, I came upon an old classmate. 副词短语更是如此，如 (4b): (4a) Steel is commonly used to make knives, razors and other useful tools because of its durability. (4b) Beacuse of its durability, steel is commonly used to make knives,razers and other useful tools. 3. 把较重要或有分量的词语放在后头，如(5b)和(6b)： (5a) I was delighted and amused by the classical opera (5b) I was amused and delighted by the classical opera. (6a) That singer's life was tragic and brief. (6b) That singer's life was brief and tragic. 4. 把句子中一系列的项目作逻辑性的排列。例如： (7) Tony ate his dinner, watched TV, and then went to bed. (8) Were you bored with years of study in elementary school, high school and institute of higher education? 5. 必要时，重复重要的语词或概念。 例如： (9) Jackie enjoys the company of ladies. He likes their beauty, he likes their delicacy, he likes their vivacity, and he likes their silence. (10) ...the land stretched out without names. Nameless headlands split the surf; nameless lakes reflected the nameless mountains and nameless rivers flowed through nameless valleys and nameless bays. 6. 尽量用主动说态，因此(11b)比(11a)好： (11a) A pedestrian was struck on the head by a flying stone. (11b) A flying stone struck a pedestrian on the head. 7. 适当时候，可用倒装句和平行句，如： (12) Seven dwarfs lived here in the centre of the dark forest. → Here, in the centre of the dark forest lived seven dwarfs. (13) Severity breeds fear; roughness breeds hatred. (14) Honesty recommends that I speak; self-interest demands that I remain silent. 最后，两全其美网校城编辑祝大家能够顺利地通过IELTS考试! |
