這項測試能為你打開世界大門。
Here we look at the criteria of lexical resource.
本期我們探討一下寫作測試中關于詞匯豐富性的評分標準。
This is one of four criteria on which you will be tested.
詞匯豐富性是寫作測試的四大評分標準之一。
Look for the other three criteria in other videos.
另外三個標準參見我們的其他視頻。
This criteria focuses on the range and accuracy of the vocabulary used in your writing.
詞匯評分標準考查的是你在寫作中使用詞匯的廣度和準確度。
Here are a few tips to improve your vocabulary.
分享一些增加詞匯量的建議。
1. When you are learning English vocabulary, learn synonyms.
1. 在你學新單詞的時候,要同時學習它的同義詞。
This helps you to avoid repeating the same word.
這能避免你重復使用同一個詞。
For example, learn different ways of describing changes or trends for Task 1 answers.
例如,在寫作第一部分的答案中,學習用不同的表達方式來描述變化和趨勢。
For both Task 1 and Task 2 answers, try not to use too many words from the exam question in your response.
在寫作的兩部分答案中,都不要太頻繁地使用考題中出現的詞。
Again, using synonyms can help you to reflect the same meaning.
再次強調,使用同義詞能幫你用不一樣的詞表達相同的意思。
When analyzing your Task 2 exam question, you can brainstorm synonyms for the keywords in the question and use these throughout your essay answer.
在分析 Task 2 的題目時,可以頭腦風暴一下,看看題目中的關鍵詞都有哪些同義詞,并且在寫作的時候用上這些詞。
“Alternative forms of transport should be encouraged and international laws introduced to control car ownership and use. ”
“應當鼓勵使用不同的交通工具出行,同時相關的國際法也應當施行,以控制車輛的所有權和使用權。”(這個句子當中,Alternative可換成 other different;encouraged 可換成 promoted, supported; laws 替換為 legislation或 regulations;control 可替換為 manage、restrict;car 可替換為 vehicle 或 automobile。)
2. Also when you are learning vocabulary, don't learn one word at a time, learn word combinations or collocation.
2. 另外,當你學新單詞的時候,不要每次只孤立地學單詞,而是學習這個詞的組合和搭配。
Remember the way words are used together and avoid typical mistakes such as
記住單詞是如何搭配使用的,避免犯這樣的常見錯誤:
“He was guilty of making a crime(wrong)", "He was guilty of committing a crime(right)."
He was guilty of making a crime,這個搭配是錯誤的,正確的說法是 He was guilty of committing a crime.
3. English words are often part of families, for instance, “Nowadays every economical is struggling. ”(wrong)
3. 英語單詞通常都是某個詞匯家族的一部分,但往往詞性或者詞義有很大的差別。比如下列句子,Nowadays every economical is struggling. economical 是個形容詞,指經濟的、實惠的,所以放在這里是錯的。
Nowadays every economic is struggling. (wrong)
Nowadays every economic is struggling. 同樣錯誤。ecomonic也是形容詞,指經濟上的。
Nowadays every economics is struggling. (wrong)
Nowadays every economics is struggling. 錯誤。economics 雖然是名詞,但是指經濟學。
Nowadays every economy is struggling.(right)
Nowadays every economy is struggling. 正確,ecomony 名詞,指(就經濟體制而言)國家,經濟制度。
When writing, use the correct word formation for the context.
在寫作時,應當根據上下文使用正確的構詞方式。
4. Always leave time at end of the test to check your writing.
4. 在考試最后一定要留出時間檢查。
For errors and add in a wider range of language.
一是檢查錯誤,二是增加更豐富的詞匯。
Be sure you use less common vocabulary correctly.
確保那些不太常用的詞你都用對了。
You are not trying to impress the examiner with your vocabulary;
不必指望靠你的詞匯量驚艷考官,
you're not being assessed on the creativity or the correctness of your ideas.
考官也不會根據你的答案是否獨創或看法是否正確來打分。
You are demonstrating your ability to express and develop ideas precisely and effectively.
你只需要展現你的表達能力,把觀點簡明到位地組織起來就可以了。
