编辑点评: GRE作文考试部分,除了要多多积累经典的句型、锻炼自己的逻辑思维能力、练习文章的框架搭建以外,巧用一些小词也是很有用的提高作文成绩的方法。本文主要针对作文中可以用到的小词,为大家作分析。
新版GRE作文考试更加注重考察同学们的逻辑思维能力,下面是为大家整理的有关如何在GRE作文中利用小词进行修饰,大家的目标是,在GRE写作中可以清晰得表达自己的逻辑思维,但是小词的使用可以让自己的文章锦上添花。 如在ISSUE 中提到:Uses language fluently, with varied sentence structure and effective vocabulary.即语言流利,使用多变的句型和有效、令人印象深刻的词汇。ARGUMENT中提到:Demonstrates control of language, including diction and syntactic variety,即展示对语言的掌控,包括用词和用句的多样性。通过这两条,不难看出,阅卷人在 词 这块的要求其实很简单 effective和variety。而在写作中,恰到好处地使用 小词 就可以帮助你的文章达到上述两个要求。
首先要说明一点,所谓 小词 并非俚语。由于评分标准明确要求使用standard written English),因此非正式的俚语、俗语、外来语都不被建议在写作中使用。 小词 smart word,指的是一些看似稀松平常普普通通的单词的精妙用法。主要包括以下几种情况:
由人到物
所谓由人到物是指这个单词原本形容人,而在某些场合中可以采用 拟物 的手法,形容物体或事件。
1.Flatter. Flatter指谄媚、奉承。拟物后可以表示比真人好看。如You are surely flattered by this dress.
2.Flirt. Flirt最熟悉的意思是调情,而事实上,它还可以表示不当真的对待、玩笑地对待。如Flirt with the idea of resigning
3. Conspire. conspire形容人同谋、密谋,也可以形容事物联合发生共同导致。如Wretched weather, nasty food and disgusting companions conspired to reduce my picnic to be a wet blanket.
4.Coax. Coax指人用好话劝、哄诱,指物的时候作耐心地处理、小心摆弄的意思。如Pianists have their own difficulties on the piano hammers that hit the string have to be coaxed not to sound like percussion.(钢琴演奏家也有自己的困难处,钢琴上的用来击弦的小锤务必仔细摆弄,以免听起来像打击乐。
大家在备考GRE写作时,一定要注意找出论据清楚的表达自己的逻辑思维还评价的同时,也要让自己的GRE写作读起来富有文采。
