看完这些托福写作让考官无感的词,想不考27+都难

2024-06-27 00:52:08来源:

在新出版的托福考试官方指南第六版中,评分标准也包含对用词要求的表述,对于一篇书面文章来说,用词的准确得体肯定是被优先考虑的,其次是多样性。今天新航道西安托福写作培训小编就从托福写作的评分要求方面给大家说说几个用词技巧,避免出现让考官无感的词,这样想不考27+都难啊!

 

用词不准确

 例句:Solving trivial problems in the dorm will add your social experience and help you to understand other people’s feelings and learn to be kind.

修改后:Solving trivial problems in the dorm will enrich your social experience and help you to understand other people’s feelings and learn to be considerate.      在原句中用到add,kind,但它们的表达含义都比较宽泛。add可以指数量上的增加,也可以指程度的加强,对于“丰富经验、增加知识”这个意思,用enrich会使表达更准确。kind从字面意义上讲是“好的、善良的”,用kind来形容人无法具体地表现出一个人的性格特征到底怎样,原句中是想表达“考虑周到、体贴入微”的特点,要准确表达这个含义应选择considerate。

用词不生动

 例句:Science and technology have greatly influenced our lives and our society is changing very rapidly.      修改后: Science and technology have come to pervade every aspect of our live sand, as a result, society is changing at a speed which is quite unprecedented.       在原句中用到greatly,rapidly,表示程度高、速度快,这样的词在表达效果上不够具体,缺乏说服力,在修改后的句子中用了pervade every aspect of our lives就具体生动地表现出科技的影响力到底有多大,其影响力已渗透到我们生活的方方面面,at a speed which is quite unprecedented意为“以一种前所未有的速度”,形象地道出了变化速度之快。

句子平淡

例句:You should compete to live in this society.      修改后:You should compete for survival; otherwise, you will be thrown out of the tide of society.      原句平平淡淡,但修改后的句子用了compete for survival,为了生存而竞争,顿时给原文增加不少色彩。而且后面又添加了一个反例证明,补充说明了如果不compete的后果就是be thrown out of the tide of society,被社会的浪潮所淘汰,使用这些更加具体深刻的词汇能够形象生动地表现出竞争的惨烈。

用词简单且重复

 例句:We all know that most factories would be of no use if there were not clean water supply.       修改后:It goes without saying that most factories would be of no use if there were not clean water supply.       know这样的初级词汇应避免在作文中使用,It goes without saying that…是一个固定结构,意思是“……是不言而喻的”,常在作文中用来引经据典或表明一个尽人皆知的道理,类似的表达还有:      An old saying goes that…Proverb goes that…It is universally acknowledged that…It is generally accepted that…      类似know这样的常用词,其他常用词也应该尽量避免使用,比如think,可用Another position says that…,hold a point of view,hold the opinion这样的短语替换。      另外比如give也属于英语中初级、基本的词汇,只表示“给,给予”这个动作,不涉及动作的性质和状态,若表示增添信心,增强士气,比较地道的说法是用boost confidence/morale.       如:The change of management has boosted morale throughout the company. 管理模式的改变使整个公司上下士气倍受鼓舞

 

以上内容就是今天新航道托福小编要给大家介绍的,因此大家在托福写作中,首先追求的是准确得体,考虑场景、修饰对象、褒贬色彩、风格统一,这样才会有很大机会获得考官的青睐。
