标题[分享] SK2 Rosa-写作要如何练习替换字呢?
时间Mon Feb 6 23:17:10 2017
大家好,我是SK2的Rosa,
今天我们来练习换字吧!大家都知道
换字很重要,但是通常没办法很随意的
变换字或是句型,今天我们以下面这题为例,练习paraphrase,当你可以练
到自由变换字和句型,就成功罗!
首先,为什麽要学会
换字(paraphrase)呢?TOEFL Official Guide里面有
写5分的高分作文,必须符合以下这点, It displays consistent
facility in the use of language, demonstrating syntactic
variety, appropriate word choice, and idiomaticity, although it
may have minor lexical or grammatical errors.
也就是ETS要看你是否能够在文章里面展现些许变化的能力。
所以变换字以及变换句型是重要的,目的是让评分官知道你单字量和句型不
少。
以这题为例,
Do you prefer a job with high salary but easy to lose or a stable
job with lower salary?
假如我选的理由分别是money, challenges, reputation,我们可以先用以
下最简单的句型套入三个理由。建议同学先印出来这篇文章,练习写写看,
再看我的解释会更有帮助,并且把句子念出来内化句型。
I focus on ____, and a job with higher salary but easy to lose
can provide me with _____.
像这样,
I focus on money, and a job with higher salary but easy to lose
can provide me with more money.
I focus on challenges,
and a job with higher salary but easy to
lose can provide me with more challenges.
I focus on reputation, and a job with higher salary but easy to
lose can provide me with higher reputation.
接着,我们再来练习换动词,
I
focus on money, and a job with higher salary but easy to lose
can
provide me
with more money.
I
________ challenges, and a job with higher salary but
easy to lose can
_____ me more challenges.
I
________ reputation, and a job with higher salary but
easy to lose can
_____ me higher reputation.
想得到可以放什麽动词吗?
focus on的相似词有 care about, place emphasis on, be concerned
about, 等,而provide...with可以替换成give..., offer, 等。
注意!这些片语是惯用语,所以要用的话就要用对喔!可以记住三种你最常
用的动词、句型,然後
考试时内化,就不用花时间去想句型了,也不会冒着
写错的风险。
如此一来,就变成了以下这三句话,
I
focus on money, and a job with higher salary but easy to lose
can
provide me
with more money.
I
care about challenges, and a job with higher salary but easy to
lose can
give me more challenges.
I
place emphasis on reputation, and a job with higher salary but
easy to lose can
offer me higher reputation.
这样其实已经够有变化了,不过我们还可以藉由
增减字来改变一下三句话。
所谓的
增减字,顾名思义即增加或是减少一个字换字或是换句型,
譬如:
a job with higher salary but easy to lose
=
choosing a job with higher salary but easy to lose
(增加字)
= a job with higher salary but
higher risk(减少字)
此外,也可以用刚刚的方法—
变换动词,譬如:
choose= select= pick
因此,综合运用以上两种方法—
增减字以及
变换动词,三句话就会变成
I focus on money, and
a job with higher salary but easy to lose
can provide me with more money.
I care about challenges, and
choosing a job with higher salary but
easy to lose can give me more challenges.
I place emphasis on reputation, and
selecting a job with higher
salary but easy to lose can offer me higher reputation.
如此一来,三个主题句就有足够的变化了。
迷思:此时,你可能会想,这三句话的逻辑是否会太像?而且理由本身
(money, challenges, reputation)难道不用变换字吗?
一、逻辑一致是好的,让读者能够更简单地看懂你的论点。第二、理由的概
念在主题句里面重复能够加强读者的印象,在例子里面换字即可。
因此,我们做个小总结,
换字的两种方法:
一、
找动词或是
转折词的同义字,例如:focus on变成care about,Therefore
变成Thus,
二、
增减字,例如:在a job with higher salary but easy to lose前面多加
个动词choosing
换字很重要,但是确实需要时间
练习,并且
内化自己熟悉的用词遣字。祝同
学写作都能够获得高分!更重要的是,透过练习作文的过程中,对於英文写
作越来越有心得,也更有信心。
Cheers,
