怎样才能在高考英语作文中正确地使用高级词汇?
在高考书面表达阅卷中,最忌讳的就是大众化的词汇和平庸的表达,要想得高分,就得多用高级词汇,注意遣词造句。
今天就来和小编一起看一下究竟要怎样才能在高考作文中正确地使用高级词汇。
一、三大原则教你正确使用"高级词汇"
原则一:"弃旧取新"原则
阅卷老师偏爱"学得晚"的单词,因为使用学得比较晚的单词,可以体现学生"学以致用"的意识。例如,表示"美丽的"形容词,同学们首先想到的是初中词汇beautiful,用高中词汇appealing,ttractive,charming和fascinating等来替换beautiful,可以为书面表达提分不少。
原则二: "短语优先"原则
高考书面表达中,多使用词组和习语来代替一些单词可以起到增加文采的作用。例如,first可用to begin / start with 替换;besides可以用in addition和what is more替换;consider可以用take sth.into consideration/account替换;remember可以用 keep in mind替换。
原则三:"避免重复"原则
同学们要想写出一篇好的书面表达,就要尽量避免重复多次使用同一个简单的单词。例如,反复使用should,这时考生应该充分发散思维,灵活地运用短语be supposed to 和had better等进行替换。
