雅思写作常用表示观点的词汇

　　在雅思写作当中，有一类词汇是非常常用的，就是表示观点的词汇。我们知道，think, assume, claim是雅思写作常用词汇中引出观点的最主要的几个动词。这几个动词的确切含义是有区别的，大家在使用的时候一定要恰当应用才可以。

　　我们首先还是从定义来看这些雅思写作常用词汇的不同：

　　Think: to have opinion or belief about sth.

　　翻译为认为，通常接宾语从句来表达比较确定的观点。

　　Assume: to think or accept that sth is true but without having proof of it.

　　翻译为假设、假定，是否有事实依据是不确定的。

　　Claim: to say sth is true although it has not been proved and other people may not believe it.

　　翻译为声称，用这个词往往意味着不赞同紧跟其后的观点，所以很少用作 I claim that

　　Scientist are claiming a breakthrough in the fight against cancer, but in fact, .

　　所以 It is claimed that 通常翻译为有报道称。。。。和it is reported that 的区别在于后者翻译为据报道，往往代表着作者赞同报告的内容，

　　Consider: to think about sth carefully, especially in order to make a decision

　　翻译为考虑，一般不用作引出观点，看个例子：

　　We are considering buying a new car.
