GMAT写作的满分评分标准中,无论是ISSUE还是ARGUMENT,都会对写作的用词提出要求。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,从而提高GMAT写作水平。
所谓GMAT写作小词并非俚语。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:
一、具体抽象:
所谓具体到抽象的GMAT写作小词指的是把一个单词的具体含义进行引申从而用在某些抽象的场合。下面我们来看几个例子。
1.Bask. Bask这个单词表示晒太阳,由此可以引申出沉浸,沐浴在。如bask in the glory of world cup 或者bask in jubilance.
2.Brew. Brew这个单词也很熟悉,表示酿酒,一引申就可以变成酝酿这个抽象含义。如每逢战争即将打响,我们可以说Storms are brewing on every frontier.
3. Swallow. Swallow表示吞咽东西,也就是不加咀嚼地吃东西,因此当我们在描述一个人不加思考就轻易相信别人时,就可以使用这个单词。如Surely, I know better than to swallow his words.有时也可以表示取消,如He had to swallow his words。
4.Gnaw. Gnaw指的是小动物,如啮齿类动物,咬,啃。稍加引申就变成了使烦恼、折磨。如The feeling of guilt gnawed at my conscience day and night.
5. Wean. Wean原义指新生儿断奶,引申为使断绝、使戒掉、使放弃。如These plants have succeed in weaning from the green house environment.
