首先来看一下第一个评分项Lexical Resource(LR),也就是词汇丰富度。请同学们看下面这道题:Nowadays, more people buy products online, do you think there are more advantages than disadvantages? (现如今,越来越多的人在网上购物,你认为优点多于缺点吗?)
题干中people这个词代指人们,考生们在写作文时,假如每段出现2次这个单词,全文按4段算,就出现了8次,其实这样的用词在国内英语高考、四六级以及考研英语中都非常常见,但是放进雅思写作里面就会严重降低Lexical Resource(LR)的分数。一个单词重复这么多遍,考官会不会一个一个地数呢?我们来看一下考官评语,在《剑桥雅思官方真题集7》Test 4大作文的评语中考官提到,The high level of repetition (“knowledge and skills” is repeated nine times) also indicates limitations in the range of vocabulary,即高度的重复(“知识和技能”被重复了9遍),同样表明词汇丰富度有限。事实证明,虽然不是所有考官都会这么做,但确实有考官会把考生一个词重复了几遍数出来。
“剑7”这篇作文得分只有5分,高度重复用词是没法取得雅思写作高分的,之前可能有很多考生不知道考官这么介意重复用词,甚至会数到底重复了几遍。大家可以回想一下自己之前写的作文,如果也有重复题干中的单词且没有进行同义替换的情况,也就别怪考官一直给你5分或5.5分了。
一个单词重复9遍会被放到5分档,那官方有没有规定5分的词汇丰富度的标准?评分标准Lexical Resource(LR)里面的5分档的描述是:Use a limited range of vocabulary, this is minimally adequate for the task.(使用词汇范围有限,只在最低限度上完成了写作任务)。那什么是最低限度呢?如果一个词从头重复到尾重复了9遍,没有进行同义替换,就可以看作最低限度了。
想要避开5分的Lexical Resource(LR),向6分看齐,就要进行同义替换。比如刚刚提到的关于网购的题目,people指的是居民,可以替换成residents或者citizens;同时单一的个体组成的群体也可以指人们,用individuals(individual, n. 个人,个体; adj. 个人的,个别的)替换也可行;人们也就是大众,还可以替换成the public;或者用赋予“身份”的方法进行同义替换,人们去网购,身份就是顾客(customers)、消费者(consumers)、买家(buyers)或者购物者(purchasers)。
这样一来我们就能用8个不同的词替换“人们”这个意思:
residents 居民
citizens 市民
individuals 人们
the public 大众
customers 顾客
consumers 消费者
buyers 买家
purchasers 购买者
如此丰富的词汇量会让考官无法给你5分的评价,在LR这个评分项上能上升到6分档。考官对于6分的Lexical Resource(LR)是这么说的:Use an adequate range of vocabulary for the task(使用足够丰富的词汇完成写作任务)。和5分的评分标准相比,6分的评分标准里面去掉了“limited”以及“this is minimally adequate for the task”,也就是说要想进入6分档,至少需要用同义替换展示出自己的词汇量。
那一个词要做几次同义替换呢?前面我们把题目中的people同义替换成了8个不同的单词,如果题干中所有的词都有8次的同义替换,分数是可以达到7分及以上的。这样做的难度可想而知,在时间紧迫的情况下,考生不仅要思考分论点、保证句子结构的正确,还要对多个单词进行同义替换。下面我们从7分的评分标准的角度看看考官是怎么说的。
7分的Lexical Resource(LR)词汇丰富度的要求是:Use a sufficient range of vocabulary to allow some flexibility and precision.(使用范围充足的词汇,用词有一定的灵活性和精准度)。什么叫用词的灵活性呢?我们刚刚把people这一名词进行了替换,作文中还会出现动词、形容词、副词,当一篇文章中的名词、动词、形容词、副词都有同义替换的时候,就达到了灵活性(介词一般为固定搭配,不进行替换)。那如何能在词汇层面得到8分?LR的8分标准的要求是:Use a wide range of a vocabulary fluently and flexibly to convey precise meanings.(流畅、灵活地使用各种词汇以表达精确的含义)。也就是说,到了8分的用词水平,不仅要保证动词、名词、形容词、副词都有同义替换,而且传达的语义要精准,即不仅要懂得单词在纯英文字典中的意思,使用时还要确保其符合语境,比如consumers和customers,一个表示消费者,一个表示顾客,两者其实是有细微不同的。这里就不展开讲了,大部分的雅思考生不需要掌握这类细节。
接下来我们来分析考官范文里的同义替换。考官范文出自考官手笔,这些文章未必都是满分9分,但是平均分都在8分左右,质量之高和满分没有很大的差别。在“剑桥雅思官方真题集10~13”这四本剑桥真题里,仅有两篇考官提供的大作文(考官的范文越来越珍贵),分别出现在《剑桥雅思官方真题集10》的第一套题和第三套题里,这里选择第三套题的考官范文进行词汇分析(题目和范文分别见《剑桥雅思官方真题集10》第78和166页)。
① Countries are becoming more and more ② similar because ③ people are able to ④ buy the same ⑤ products ⑥ anywhere ⑦ in the world . Do you think this is a positive or ⑧ negative ⑨ development ?
这个题目问的是:各个国家正在变得越来越相似,因为人们能够在世界任何地方购买相同的商品。你认为这是一个积极还是消极的发展?
很多同学快速扫一眼范文可能看不出有多少个同义替换,编者用 相同的数字标注了同义替换的单词,一个数字代表一种同义替换, 下面是标注之后的文章:
It is said that countries are becoming similar to each other because of the ⑦ global spread of the same ⑤ products , which are now available for ④ purchase almost anywhere. I strongly believe that this modern development is largely ⑧ detrimental to 1 culture and traditions ⑦ worldwide .
A country's 1 history, language and ethos (民族精神)are all inextricably(逃不掉的)bound up in its ⑤ manufactured artefacts (文物,人工制品). If the relentless(无情的,不间断的) ⑨ advance of ⑦ international brands into ⑥ every corner of the world ⑨ continues , these bland(冷漠的) ⑤ packages (包裹)might one day completely 2 oust (剥夺取代)the traditional ⑤ objects (物体)of ① a nation ,which could be 2 a loss of richness and diversity ⑦ in the world , as well as the sad 2 disappearance of the manifestations(证明)of ① a place's character. What would a ① Japanese tea ceremony(茶道)be without its specially crafted(精心制作的) teapot, or a ① Fijian (斐济的) kava (卡瓦酒) ritual (仪式)without its bowl(碗)made from a certain type of tree bark(树皮)?
Let us not forget either that 3 traditional products, whether these be ⑤ medicines, cosmetics, toys, clothes,utensils or food, provide employment for local ③ people . The spread of ⑦ multinational products can often bring in its wake 4 a loss of jobs , as people turn to buying the ⑤ new brand, perhaps thinking it more glamorous (迷人的)than the one they are used to. This eventually puts 3 old-school (旧时的) ③ craftspeople (工匠) 4 out of work.
Finally, 5 tourism numbers may also be affected, as 5 travellers become disillusioned(幻想破灭的)with finding ⑥ every place just ② the same as the one they 5 visited previously. To see the same products in shops ⑦ the world over is boring, and does not impel(激励) 5 visitors to ④ open their wallets in the same way that trinkets(小玩意)or souvenirs unique to ① the particular area do.
Some may argue that all people are entitled(给予权利)to have access to the same products, but I say that local objects suit local conditions best, and that ② faceless uniformity(无个性的一致) ⑦ worldwide is an unwelcome and dreary(枯燥的)prospect(前途).
题目的原词在范文中的同义替换已用带圈数字标注,考官写作过程中出现的新词及同义词替换已用不带圈的阿拉伯数字标注,相同数字表示一个意思的同义替换。我们先来看题目中原词的同义替换:
① countries —a nation—a place—Japanese—Fijian(斐济的)—the particular area
② similar —the same—faceless uniformity(无个性的一致)
③ people —craftspeople(工匠)
④ buy —purchase—open their wallets
⑤ products —manufactured artefacts(文物,人工制品)—packages(包裹)—objects(物体)—medicines, cosmetics, toys, clothes, utensils or food
⑥ anywhere —every corner of the world—every place
⑦ in the world —global spread—worldwide—international—in the world—multinational—the world over—worldwide
⑧ negative —detrimental
⑨ development —advance—continues
(共62词)
这9条同义替换是如何产生的,考官使用了何种思路打开自己的词汇量,下面我们来逐条分析。
countries替换:countries—a nation—a place—Japanese—Fijian(斐济的)—the particular area
country的复数是题干中的原词,首先可以使用单数形式a country替换,但是考官没有这么偷懒,而是用了a nation(一个民族/国家)替换。此外,还可以用一个特定的区域表示国家(虽然“区域”相对范围较小,但是从本题的意思出发,可以把一个区域当作一个国家),所以考官使用了the particular area来表示国家。
接下来,考官使用了具体的国家名称的变形Japanese以及Fijian,这在用词上属于上位词和下位词的使用。上位词是指含义范围更广的主题词,下位词是指含义范围更窄的主题词。范文里的country就是一个上位词,它的下位词就是Japanese和Fijian等具体国家名称的变形。
上位词和下位词的使用是高级的社会认知的表现,代表了写文章的人有系统的社会文化知识体系。对于中国考生来说,在中文语境中完全能够驾驭这样的知识体系,只要掌握对应的英文单词,就能体现自己健全的英文知识体系以及丰富的词汇量。所以在雅思写作中使用上位词和下位词可以展现自己对于英文单词知识体系的认知,是一种词汇丰富度的体现,符合7分的用词标准:Use a sufficient range of vocabulary.(使用范围充足的词汇。)
similar替换:similar—the same—faceless uniformity(无个性的一致)
similar(相似的)考官替换为the same(相同的),虽然这两个词在意思上有些许区别,但是也可以称为同义词。“相似的”换一种说法就是“无个性的”或者“一致性”,由此考官又替换出了faceless uniformity(无个性的一致)。而且similar是形容词,faceless uniformity是形容词修饰名词的词组,这里还涉及词性替换。分析之后我们不难发现,同义替换不会限于同词性的替换,多种词性甚至词组之间的替换也是词汇多样性的体现,接下来我们还会看到考官所做的其他词性的同义替换。
people替换:people—craftspeople(工匠)
这里考官把people换成了具体的岗位craftspeople(工匠),工匠属于“人们”的下位词,通过对下位词的扩充,展示了完善的知识体系与丰富的词汇量。
buy替换:buy—purchase—open their wallets
考官把动词buy(购买)换成了purchase(购买),并且这里使用的是purchase的名词词性(考官范文中purchase前面是介词for,如果使用动词词性的话purchase要加ing,说明这里是名词词性)。词性转换在考官眼里是词汇高度丰富的一种表现。为什么这样说呢?对于一个单词来说,你知道它的常用词性(比如动词),还知道它的名词、形容词和副词形式,给考官的印象就是:你可能是一个背过字典的人,非常优秀,词汇量十分大。所以大家在写作时要有意识地向考官展示词性的多样化。buy还替换成了open their wallets(打开他们的钱包),这种同义替换的方式叫作“具象化思维”,也就是把具体的现象或动作表述出来,好处是能够增加单词的数量,并且语言形象到位。
products替换:products—manufactured artefacts(文物,人工制品)—packages(包裹)—objects(物体)—medicines, cosmetics, toys, clothes, utensils or food
在替换products(商品)的时候,考官用了下位词manufactured artefacts(文物,人工制品),还用了具象化思维packages(包裹),或者叫同位词,就是既不是上位也不是下位的平行转化,包裹就是货物或者商品。objects(物体)可以看作products的同位词,或者上位词,因为物体包括商品这个范畴。后面的一大串medicines, cosmetics(化妆品),toys, clothes, utensils(厨具)or food都是products的下位词。
anywhere替换:anywhere—every corner of the world—every place
anywhere是副词,表示“任何地方”,考官同义替换的时候将其转化成了名词词组:every corner(每一个角落)以及every place(每一个地方),此处转化用到了具象化思维(任何地方具体一点就是每一个地方)、词性转化(副词替换为名词词组)以及同位词的概念(anywhere和 every corner互为同位词)。
in the world替换:in the world—global spread—worldwide—international—in the world—multinational—the world over—worldwide
考官先把in the world这个介词词组换成了名词词组global spread(全球传播),之后是副词worldwide(世界各地),然后是形容词international(国际的),中间变回了原形in the world,接着又是形容词multinational(跨国、多国的),然后是副词短语the world over(全世界),最后换成了形容词worldwide(全世界的)。这一个介词词组,竟然能有名词词组、副词、形容词和副词短语这四种词性的变化,由此可见考官词汇量的庞大,是真正的8分及以上选手。
negative替换:negative—detrimental
negative是消极的意思,很多国内考生会用bad替换,稍微有点过于简单,毕竟good 和bad这种词在写学术论文和雅思作文的时候显得过于口语化。当然不是说这两个词不好,只是场合不对。雅思写作是学术性写作,用词要formal(正式的),和正式相对应的是neutral(介于正式和非正式之间),以及informal(不正式的)。比如bad weather(坏天气)在生活化的英文口语表达中完全没有问题,也很适合不正式的场合,但是不适合雅思学术性写作以及其他正式的文体。考官在这篇文章中把negative换成了detrimental(不利的,有害的),符合正式写作的用词习惯。
development替换:development—advance—continues
名词development(发展)被考官换成了advance,这个词作名词时有“发展”的意思,作动词时有“前进”的意思。之后又用动词continue(继续,延续)做了替换,此处替换涉及名词换动词的词性替换。
到此为止考官用51个新词替换了题目中出现的11个原词,比例为4.64:1,从比例上来讲,如果考生能够想出4.64个单词替换题目中的某一个原词,就能接近考官的写作水平,在LR这个评分项上至少可以得到7分,所以同义替换才是词汇维度得高分的途径。
另外,考官还对新词(原题目中没有出现的词)做了替换:
1. culture and traditions —history, language and ethos
2. oust(剥夺,取代) —a loss of—disappearance
3. traditional —old-school(旧时的)
4. a loss of jobs —out of work
5. tourism numbers —travellers—visited—visitors
(共26词)
culture and traditions—history, language and ethos
在这一组里面,traditions(传统)也可以替换为history(历史)、culture(文化),包括language(语言)和ethos(民族精神)。这一组同义替换出现在开头段的末尾和主体一段的开头,在逻辑上更好地衔接了这两段内容,逻辑部分的内容会在Coherence and Cohesion(连贯性与衔接性)部分详细讲解。
oust(剥夺,取代)—a loss of—disappearance
考官自己使用了一个难词oust(剥夺,取代),之后替换成了名词词组a loss of(损失)以表达“消失”的意思,最后直接使用消失的名词形式disappearance。值得注意的是,这3个词/词组出现在一个句子里面,可见考官用词功底之深。作为中国考生来讲,通过有意识的模仿、练习也可以达到这一效果。
traditional—old-school(旧时的)
这个形容词traditional(传统的)其实演变自第一组中的tradition(传统),之后考官使用了一个合成词old-school来代表“旧时的”意思。这两个词一个出现在主体二段的开头,一个出现在主体二段的结尾,遥相呼应,可见考官在写作的时候一直在有意识地做同义替换。
a loss of jobs—out of work
考官用名词词组a loss of jobs(丢掉工作)替换了形容词词组out of work(失业)。这两个词组出现的地方都在主体二段,并且出现在两个连续的句子里。
tourism numbers—travellers—visited—visitors
在主体三段,考官一开始使用的是tourism numbers(游客数量),之后使用了名词travellers(游客),然后又转为动词visited(参观),最后变为visitors(游客),最后两次替换涉及动词visit的名词变形,属于词性转换。这4个词/词组的替换,都出现在主体三段的两句话里。再一次证明,考官一直都在有意识地进行同义替换。所以对于中国考生来说,同义替换是在雅思写作中展示自己词汇量的最快速、便捷的途径。
除此之外,考官还会使用反义词展示自己的词汇量。
richness and diversity(丰富和多样性)
provide employment(提供就业)
(共5词)
主体一段中的名词短语richness and diversity(丰富和多样性)是题目中same的反义表达,same意为“相同的”,richness and diversity可以被看作same的反义词,在前面加上a loss of(丢失了),意思就变为“丢失了丰富度和多样性”,从而变为same的同义替换。考官这种使用反义词进行同义替换的方式为大家开辟了新的词汇使用思路。在主体二段里面也有一组反义词组,provide employment(提供就业)就是a loss of jobs(丢失工作)的反义表达,并且是用动词词组对名词词组进行了反义表达,这样的用词非常灵活,完全符合7分及以上的灵活性要求,在词汇丰富度的7分和8分标准里都提到了flexibility这个单词,同学们可以体会一下这篇考官范文里的灵活用词。
考官一共使用了93个单词进行同义替换,而这篇文章总字数才300个单词,也就意味着全文有31%的单词都是同义替换来的,比例非常高,大家看数字的标记就能感受到同义替换的使用频率。
如果国内考生有了同义替换的概念之后也想实践,但是想不出那么多同义替换,或者不知道该往哪个方向进行替换怎么办?接下来本书将提供雅思写作历年考试的题目和范文,内容涵盖大作文8大类话题,让大家不仅能背诵同义替换,还能在文章语境中理解、记忆与使用这些替换。

① 本题题目中的关键词famous people“名人”在全文中替换成了:
★ celebrities(单数形式为celebrity),名人,明星
★ movie stars(电影明星),famous singers(有名的歌手),sports stars(体育明星),这些词是famous people的下位词。这样的好处是不仅向考官展示了自己的社会知识体系,同时还展示了词汇丰富度,是7分词汇评分标准中a range of vocabulary的体现。
★ ambassadors(大使),明星在一些慈善机构担任的角色就是大使,所以ambassadors也是famous people的一种角色,属于famous people的下位词。
★ well-known people(有名的人、家喻户晓的人),属于famous people的同位词。
★ a famous entertainer(有名的艺人),属于famous people的一种,也就是它的下位词。
② 本题题目中的关键词support“支持”在全文中替换成了:
★ assistance(帮助、援助),为support的同位词。
★ serving on the Board of Trustees(在董事会任职),也是提供support的表现,属于support具象化的表达。抽象变具体的思维方式不仅可以展示考生的社会认知体系,还能展示考生的词汇量。
★ use their power, popularity and influence(使用他们的力量、名气以及影响力),这也是support的具象化体现。
★ celebrities' involvement(名人的参与),相当于名人的support。
★ celebrities' entanglement with(名人与……的纠葛),这里偏向于贬义,本段在阐述名人加入慈善活动的坏处,所以用了偏向贬义的表达代替support。
★ his or her conduct(他或她的行为),也就是名人的动作,属于support的同位词。
③ 本题题目中的关键词international aid organizations“国际援助组织”在全文中替换成了:
★ NGOs(non-government organizations的缩写)意为“非政府组织”,题干中的international aid organizations在很多情况下是非政府的组织,所以使用了NGOs替换。
★ philanthropic activities(慈善活动),国际援助组织会组织慈善活动,所以此处是international aid organizations的具体动作,使用了抽象变具体的替换方式。
★ philanthropy(慈善事业),为名词词性,前面的philanthropic为形容词,意为博爱的、仁慈的,这里使用了形容词与名词之间的词性转换,可以展示考生强大的词汇量。
★ a charitable organization一个慈善组织
④ 本题题目中的关键词draws the attention to“引起注意”在全文中替换成了:
★ bring more attention to带来更多的关注
★ inspire their fans and other individuals to raise fund and contribute time to(激励他们的粉丝和其他人筹集资金和贡献时间),这也是引起大众注意之后的一个结果,是具象化思维的体现。

★ increase people's awareness(提高人们的意识),是draw the attention to的同位词替换。
★ get the public more engaged让公众更多地参与进来
⑤ 本题题目中的关键词problems“国际援助组织要解决的问题”在全文中替换成了:
★ charity or cause慈善机构或事业
★ poverty, diseases and fight for equal rights among different races and genders(贫穷、疾病、性别平等和种族平等的斗争),这些都属于国际援助组织要解决的问题,把问题具象化了。
⑥ 本题题目中的关键词make the problems less important“让这些问题变得不那么重要”在全文中替换成了:
★ cause harm to a certain mission(对特定的任务造成了损害),也就是让国际援助组织致力于处理的那些问题变得不重要了。
★ is not without criticism(并不是没有批评),这里的“批评”就是指“让国际援助组织致力于处理的那些问题变得不重要了”。
★ increase their popularity, or do money laundry(增加他们的知名度或者洗钱),这就是具体的损害,是抽象变具体的一种叙述方法。
★ a tremendous negative impact(巨大的负面影响),跟第一条中的“cause harm”为词组间的同义替换。
★ might be accused of sexual harassment or even rape(可能会被指控性骚扰甚至强奸),这也是抽象变具体的一种叙述方法,名人们自己出现了这些问题,就会让他们支持的那些国际援助组织受到影响。
★ such repulsive or even criminal deed这种令人厌恶甚至犯罪的行为
★ jeopardize the noble cause(危害崇高的事业),也就是让这些问题变得不重要的同义转述。
⑦ in different ways(在不同的方面),ways表示方面,也可以用fields代替。

Once ① children start school, ② teachers ③ have more influenc than ④ parents on their ⑤ intellectual and social development . To what extent do you agree or disagree?
With ⑥ ever-increasing parents' awareness in their children's education and development, they tend to ⑥ pay more attention to how their ① kids ⑤ behave both at home and school . When it comes to the question of whether parents or ② instructors ③ exert more influence o kids' ⑤ mental and psychological development , I would say teachers ③ have a bigger influenc on ① adolescents ' development.
It is true that parents ⑥ are more attentive to kids' education given ⑦ their rising living standards . Indeed, with ⑦ more disposable income , parents ⑦ are more willing to invest money to hire private ② tutors for their kids so that they can learn better and ⑤ have a better academic performance in school. Also, parents ③ tend to influenc ⑤ kids' values and behaviors directly or indirectly. Parents are kids' first ④ role models , and ④ kids imitate whatever they say or behave .
However, the moment children are enrolled in school, both of their ⑤ intellectual and social cultivation ⑧ are more subject to the influence of their teachers. For one thing, teachers ③ spend more time with kids compared with parents who might live hectic lives to make money to pay living expenses, ⑤ kids' tuition ,so on and so forth. Such a hurried way of life leaves parents less time to keep their kids' company, let alone ⑤ having impact on their social and mental development . ⑨ In contrast , teachers spend a significant amount of time with ① young teenagers both in and out of the classroom. As a consequence, when kids have any problems, whether about ⑤ their academic affair or emotional well-being , they ⑧ are more inclined to seek their teachers for help. In this process, teachers play a more important role in ⑤ shaping kids' social and intellectual development . For another, teachers are better trained and more professional than parents when solving kids' problems. Teachers, on the one hand, know every students' ⑤ learning trajectory and ⑤ adjust teaching methods to correspond to individual student's needs. Parents, ⑨ on the other hand , are less capable of solving kids' academic problems and they are less patient compared with teachers when ⑤ helping kids to learn .
In conclusion, teachers exert more influence on kids' mental and intellectual development since they ⑩ devote more time than parents to ⑤ attending to kids' need and they are more professional and effective in helping ① young minds .
① 本题题目中的关键词children “孩子”在全文中替换成了:
★ kids孩子

② 本题题目中的关键词teacher“老师”在全文中替换成了:
★ instructors讲师
★ tutors在本文中翻译为家庭教师,是老师的下位词。
③ 本题题目中的关键词have more influence“有更多的影响”在全文中替换成了:
★ exert more influence on施加更多的影响
★ have a bigger influence有更大的影响
★ tend to influence(往往会影响),题目中的influence为名词词性,而tend to influence中的influence为动词,体现了词性的灵活变化。
★ spend more time with kids(花更多的时间和孩子在一起),这也是一种影响孩子的方式,抽象概念具象化。
④ 本题题目中的关键词parents“父母”在全文中替换成了:
★ role models(楷模),父母可以作为孩子们的楷模。
★ kids imitate whatever they say or behave(孩子们模仿他们的言行),父母作为孩子的楷模影响孩子的言行,是对楷模的具象化表达。
⑤ 本题题目中的关键词intellectual and social development “智力和社交能力发展”在全文中替换成了:

★ mental and psychological development(心理发展),mental和psychological都可以理解为心理的,体现词汇多样性。
★ have a better academic performance(学术成绩更好),这是孩子某一方面的具体发展。
★ kids' values and behaviors(孩子的价值观和行为),可以作为孩子在“智力和社交能力发展”方面的具象表达,把抽象的概念变具体。
★ intellectual and social cultivation(智力和社交能力的培养),这里cultivation作为同义词代替development。
★ kids' tuition(孩子的学费),可以作为影响孩子智力发展的一个具体因素。
★ having impact on their social and mental development对他们的社交能力和智力发展产生影响
★ their academic affairs or emotional well-being(他们的学术事务或精神健康),学术事务可以作为孩子智力发展的具象表达。

★ adjust teaching methods(调整教学方法),老师可以通过调整教学方法来促进孩子智力发展。
★ helping kids to learn(帮助孩子学习),是影响孩子智力发展的一个因素。
★ attend to kids' need(关注孩子的需求),need这个词可以理解为孩子比较笼统的需求,为“智力和社交能力发展”的上位词。
⑥ 行文中的关键词ever-increasing parents' awareness “父母意识的增强”在全文中替换成了:
★ pay more attention to(更加关注),后面可以跟社会问题比如教育、环境污染、失业等等。
★ are more attentive to(更加关注),此处attentive为attention的形容词,通过词性变化展示词汇丰富度。
⑦ 行文中的关键词their rising living standards “他们逐渐提高的生活水平”在全文中替换成了:
★ more disposable income更多的可支配收入
★ are more willing to invest money to(更加有意愿在某一个方面投资),此处为“生活水平提高”的具体体现。
⑧ are more subject to易受……的影响,are more inclined to更加倾向做某事
⑨ in contrast(相反的)这个词组可以作为表转折的逻辑关系词,on the other hand一般跟on the one hand 连用,表示相反的情况。
⑩ devote more time to doing sth.(投入更多时间做某事),表达一个人对一件事情的执着。
In some countries, there has been an increase in the number of parents who educate their children themselves at home instead of sending them to school. Do you think the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages? (2016年2月13日)
New parents should attend a parenting course to learn how to bring up their children well. Do you agree or disagree? (2016年5月28日)
① New technologies ② have changed the way ③ children spend their ④ free time . Do you think the ⑤ advantages outweigh the ⑥ disadvantages ?
The ① advance of technologies ② has brought tremendous changes to the way individuals work, study and live. The way how ③ youngsters spend their ④ leisure time ② is not immune to the influence of technology.When it comes to the question of whether ⑤ such influenc on how children spend their leisure time brings more advantages than disadvantages, from my perspective, I think that the ⑥ drawback it brings outweighs the ⑤ benefi .
It is quite obvious that technology does bring benefits to kids in various ways. ① Electronic video games can inspire ③ kids to ⑤ pursue knowledge ⑦ in a particular fiel since they have vivid sound and visual effects and they have real historical settings. For example, the ① game of Story of Three Kingdoms may spark a child's interest ⑦ in world history, geography, ancient cultures.

Some people believe that ① women should ② play an equal role as ③ men in a country's ④ police force or military force , while others think women are not suitable for these kinds of jobs. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
The question of whether ① females should ② join the military or police force has caused constant debate.Some argue that females represent the ① weaker sex and they should not ② participate in ④ the army or police force , however, from my perspective, I think females ② can be qualified candidate in the military or police force.
It is undeniable that a female is more ① physically vulnerable than their ③ male counterparts . Thus, some people argue that women are just not ② cut out for such ④ dangerous jobs since being in the military or police force, one has to be involved in ④ confrontational situations , and ① physical strength is essential for someone to ② be competent at ④ such jobs . However, as long as women can ② meet the physical demand of military or police force, ⑦ it is justified and proper for the ② to be enlisted .
Others might argue getting females involved in the military or police force might make them susceptible to ⑤ sexual harassment from their male colleagues. Nonetheless, ⑤ such a drawback can be overcome if the authority puts forward some rules and regulations to protect women from ⑤ such incidents or crimes . Being at risk of sexual harassment is by no means an excuse to exclude women in the police or military force. In fact, ④ male soldiers and policemen are not immune to sexual harassment.
The truth is that women can improve the efficiency of th ④ combat unit or police force by ⑥ qualities that often are rarely present in all ③ male-dominated units. Women are ⑥ creative, empathetic and easy to get along with. When women are given the chance to ② stand shoulder to shoulder with their male counterparts, they can de-escalate potentially ④ violent situations more often than men. For example,women know how to use their ⑥ interpersonal skills to build trust with criminals in ④ dangerous situations and thus they can dissuade criminals from pursuing violent actions like using their gun or knife to attack.
In conclusion, even though women are more ① physically weaker than their male counterparts, they can still play important roles in the military or police force.

Although more and more ① people read news ② on the Internet , newspapers will remain ③ the most important source of ④ news . To what extent do you agree or disagree?
With the advent of the Internet and technological devices, more and more people have access to news ② online. From my perspective, newspapers, the ⑤ traditional way of spreading ④ news stories, fail to be ③ the most primary sources of news.
As is evident, the availability of the Internet and ⑥ high-tech products like ⑥ smartphones, tablets and laptop computers make it more convenient for people to read news ② on the webpage . With ⑥ a tablet in hand, ① an individual can read news online whenever and wherever he goes. On the contrary, getting a newspaper is a real hassle. ① Residents have to stop at a newspaper stand to get it on their way to work or school, which takes lots of valuable time.
Moreover, it is prompt for ① citizens to get breaking news via media online instead of reading the ⑤ old-fashioned newspaper. ④ What happened in part of the world can be spread much more quickly through online media outlets to people living in other areas of the world. Moreover, ② multi-media online provides more vivid coverage of a story with ② high-fidelity pictures and fil than that of the newspaper.Thus, more and more people ② use the Internet to ④ gain information since it is more prompt and vivid.
Lastly, it is less likely for people to consume newspapers because of the high cost. This ⑦ high cost is partly attributed to the ⑦ rising cost of producing and distributing newspapers. With fewer newspaper subscribers,businesses might not intend to place advertisements in newspapers, making ⑧ newspaper agencies less profitable. It can be a vicious cycle, through whic ⑧ newspaper companies would be gradually driven out of business.
In conclusion, more and more ① customers depend on the Internet for news since it is more convenient, prompt and vivid. Newspapers, on the other hand, will be gradually driven out of business,given the invasion of the Internet and rising operation costs.

One possible reason for food waste is the masses' ⑦ growing affluenc . Nowadays, people are ⑦ getting wealthier .

With ⑦ more money in their pocket , there is no incentive for them to save money by keeping the ③ leftovers .
Another important reason might be that ② consumers base their action of throwing the leftovers on ⑨ the date labeled on the package . However, most of the time, ⑨ the best use or expiration date labeled on the product is not referring to ⑩ safety but ⑪ quality . This means that even if people ⑧ consume food a little after ⑨ the expiration date , they will ⑩ not be poisoned though the food might not ⑪ taste as good .

Excellent social skills are as important as good qualifications since they make it possible for employees to cooperate with others in a professional setting. When working in a group, ⑥ group member depends on
⑥ each other to finish a certain project since ⑥ every member has their own strengths, weaknesses,and they bear different responsibilities.

Only when the engineers ② communicate thoroughly with product managers can they know what kinds of technical problems they need to solve.

Some people think that governments should ① build more ② train and subway lines while others believe that building ③ wider roads is more efficient t ④ reduce ⑤ traffic congesti . Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
⑥ Rapid urbanization brings lots of tricky issues, one of which is the ⑤ road congestion problem .Some think it is better to build ③ wider streets , however, I think it is more effective to reduce traffic jams by ① constructing subways.
It is undeniable that ① providing wider roads will accommodate more vehicles on the road. It might seem to lots of people that ③ more lanes can ④ lessen ⑤ traffic issu . However, it could hardly be the case since wider roads will encourage more people to drive instead of ② taking public transport . With more people choosing to drive, the ⑤ traffic ja will be worse.
The only solution to ④ ameliorate traffic congestion is not encouraging people to drive but to discourage them from driving private cars and begin to take public transport. Building ② a comprehensive subway system in the city is more efficient to reduce the ⑤ traffic leve even though the project might be very ⑦ costly . As lots of cities around the world ⑥ are increasingly urbanized , ② undergrounds prove to be the most efficient ways to move a large number of ⑧ residents quickly.
⑧ People tend to ditch their cars since ⑨ taking subways are both convenient and ⑦ cost-effective . With ② a well-rounded subway system in place, ⑧ citizens can basically travel ⑩ anywhere within the city like the ⑩ airport, shopping malls and major transit hubs . When ⑨ commuting in subways , people can make good use of their time by writing emails, or reading newspapers along the way. Also, it is ⑦ significantly cheaper than driving. For instance, in Beijing, a round trip will ⑦ cost at most 30 RMB , however, if someone commutes to work by car, the ⑦ gas money and parking fees for a day will ⑦ be easily over 80 RMB .
In conclusion, building ② a comprehensive public transportation system is a better way to solve the problem of traffic issues since it encourages people to ② ditch their cars while wider roads only make it more appealing for people to drive, which will ⑤ make the problem worse .

Some people think that ① governments should ② do more to make their citizens eat a healthy ③ diet . Others, however, believe that ④ individuals must take responsibility for their own diet and ⑤ health .Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Nowadays, governments around the world ② exert control in many aspects of people's ③ ways of living , one of which is ③ what people eat . When it comes to the question of whether individuals or ① authorities should play a bigger role in implementing a healthy diet, I would argue that ④ citizens and governments should have equal responsibility in this regard.
For one thing, ① decision-makers should ② spare no effort in regulating the food that people eat since it helps people to maintain ⑤ a healthy body , thus lowering total ⑥ medical expenses . Every year governments spend lots of ⑥ dollars to pay for welfare ④ recipients whose ⑦ major problems are ⑦ diabetes or obesity .These kinds of ⑦ physical problems are mainly attributed to a bad diet. If governments ⑧ regulate the food that people eat, the situation can get better. The government, for instance, can cut down ③ soda and sugary products offered in ⑨ restaurants, cinemas, and school cafeterias nationwide . ⑨ Any institution that fails to ⑧ comply with this rule would have to pay a large amount of tax to stay in business.
For another, ④ residents should assume equal responsibility to their ⑤ well-being and health by regulating their diet. Just by placing blame onto governments is ridiculous since it is impossible for governments to regulate each and everyone's diet. In fact, ④ people with a decent education should know the ⑤ significant impact that foods have on their health and they are ultimately liable for ③ the food and drinks that they consume . With this responsibility in mind, people will ⑩ buy less ⑪ junk food like ⑪ french fries, fried chicken and ⑩ consume more healthy food like ③ vitamin-rich vegetables .
In conclusion, both the government and citizens should have ⑫ equal responsibility to make sure citizens have healthy diets. Governments can ⑧ put forward policies to ensure more healthy food is available to citizens by ⑧ cutting down unhealthy food . Nonetheless, the responsibility of choosing healthy food ⑫ should not just be solely levied on governments since it is each person who eventually makes their ③ food consumption choice .

① Young people who ② commit ③ serious crimes , such as ④ a robbery or a violent attack , should ⑤ be punished ⑥ in the same way as adults. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
The question of whether ① adolescents who commit serious crime should get the ⑥ same level of ⑤ punishment as adults is a complex issue. From my perspective, there is no definitive answer to this issue and I think it depends on the ③ severity of the crime committed by ① the young .
For cases where victims can recover quickly, then young people who ② caused the ④ harm should not get ⑥ the same punishment that an adult would receive. Adults are ⑦ judicious and responsible whereas ① teenagers in their formative years ⑨ are more susceptible to influences of others. ① Juveniles suffer from ⑦ shortsightedness and they ⑦ overly focus on immediate rewards like money and stimulation and ⑦ do not consider too many potential consequences . Such a phenomenon is supported by the fact that the frontal lobe that is responsible for the decision-making process and ⑧ self-control matures ① in early adulthood , whereas the emotional brain develops much earlier. Thus, ① youngsters ⑩ tend to ⑦ seek sensational satisfaction and do not ⑧ have self-discipline .
However, young people should ⑤ receive the same level of punishment like ⑤ imprisonment, or even the death penalty if the crimes they committed are ③ heinous . ① Being young cannot be used as an excuse to justify whatever crime committed by adolescents.
If the young commit serious crimes like ④ rape, manslaughter and the use of deadly weapons , they could get away from ③ severe punishment or just ⑤ go to a correctional facility , then other youngsters would commit ③ extremely harmful crimes, which would cause instability in the community.
In conclusion, the question of whether adolescents who commit serious crime should get the same level of punishment as adults has to be examined case by case. For crimes where the victim can recover, young offenders should not receive severe punishment as adults. However, if the youngster turned out to ① a murderer or rapist , he should receive the same level of punishment as adults.

Some people think ① people working in creative arts should ② be financially supporte by ③ governments . Others think they should ④ fin financial support ⑤ from other resources . Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
Although it is commonly perceived that art ① purveyors like musicians and painters are an important part of modern society, the question of whether they should get ② financial sponsorshi from governments or ④ seek ⑤ endowment elsewhere has caused heated debates. From my perspective, it is better for both ③ taxpayers and the development of art when the governments stay out of the game.
It is true that ② government subsidy can help lots of ① artists and musicians who ⑥ live under the poverty line to ⑦ live a decent life and focus on their art creation. Most of the ① art creators do not have ② regular salary and thus cannot ⑦ afford basic daily necessities like ⑦ renting a decent shelter, buying food, and so on . With financial support from the government, they might make some breakthroughs in ⑧ art creation .
However, ② governments' endowment to art leads to ⑨ serious problems . There are more ⑨ urgent matters than supporting art. ② Governments' priority should be supporting social welfare programs. Art is by and large appreciated and consumed by rich people. The government's subsidy in art is unfair to ⑥ those underprivileged who are ⑥ in more urgent need of basic necessities.
It brings more benefits when musicians and artists ② seek foundation from other sources like ② donation ⑤ from the private sector . ② Philanthropic donations for artists will relieve governments' ② financial burde , make it possible for the government to ② invest money in more ⑨ critical matters . Also, ② getting money from the private sector means that artists and musicians do not have to be bound by rigid rules. Thus, they can bring their ⑧ talents and creativity into full play and the society as a whole can benefit from their ⑧ artworks and music .
In conclusion, it is more advisable for the government to keep its hands off from ② sponsoring artists and musicians since taxpayers' money should be spent on more ⑨ essential matters . Private donations will bring more dynamic to artists and art creation.

In some countries there is not enough ① recycling of ② waste materials, such as paper, glass and cans . What are the reasons and how to ③ solve ④ these problems ?
⑤ Most of people believe that recycling is the ethnically right thing to do. However, in reality, ⑤ the public might not ① recycle for various sorts of reasons. This essay intends to analyze the reasons for this trend and ③ provide possible solutions to tackle ④ this issue .
The primary reason why people do not recycle and ① reuse is ⑥ storage space and the fact that it brings a whole lot of inconvenience. ⑤ Lots of residents do not have a ⑥ spacious kitchen and they do not want to place ⑥ a recycling bin in the kitchen since it takes up storage space. They simply do not want to witness ② garbage piling up in their ⑥ houses . This is especially true for ⑤ young adults who might just graduate from colleges and cannot afford to buy ⑥ a big house . Also, recycling can be ④ a big hassle if there is no recycling program ⑤ in the neighborhood . In this case, ⑤ the individuals have to drive extra miles to drop off the ② trash in places with ① recycling facilities , which obviously requires more effort.
Joint efforts from both ⑦ governments and individuals are required to ③ deal with this thorny problem . ⑦ The authority should educate its ⑤ people on the potential economic and social benefits of recycling.
⑦ Policy makers should also ⑧ put forward relevant ⑨ policies to encourage people to reuse by ⑨ providing subsidies and imposing fine to those who do not recycle. ⑤ Citizens are more likely to respond to this policy. Lastly, authorities are supposed to ⑧ implement ① universal recycling programs in each and every community, which will make it ⑩ more convenient for residents to recycle. If the ① blue recycle bin ⑩ is within walking distance , I am quite positive that people will recycle.
In summary, storage space and ⑩ inconvenience are two major reasons why people ⑪ are not willing to recycle . To ③ tackle this issue , the government should ⑪ increase citizens' recycling awareness and ⑨ issue relevant policies .

It is not necessary to travel to ① other places to learn about ② other culture , because people can ③ learn from books, films or the Interne . To what extent do you agree or disagree?
As today's world is becoming more and more ① globalized , it is important to know and learn other cultures.Some people argue books, films or on the Internet have already provided relevant information about ② foreign culture , however, I think it is better to ① traveling internationally to learn about ② different cultures .
As is obvious, traveling to ① a certain destination is a more direct way to learn its ② local culture . ④ Being immersed in ① a particular country , individuals have first-hand experience about th ② local culture, history, customs, and ways of living . ① Stepping into a whole new world in person, one can ④ be exposed to ② different languages, smells, colors, and sights . This kind of experience could not be paralleled by just ③ watching films or reading travelogue . For instance, one can explore the ② local cuisines when ① traveling globally like the ② pad Thai, Italian pizza, and Chinese dumplings . What else can give the individuals a better idea about the taste of different foods rather than traveling ① to the place where the food originates ?
Compared with traveling to ① distinctive places in person, depending on ③ media like books, films or the Internet to ⑤ gain knowledge about other cultures is less reliable. For one thing, the information one can get from these sources might be ⑥ fictiona , meaning that ⑥ it does not reflect people's actual ways of living . Lots of ③ movies or novels ⑥ exaggerate the plots as well as storylines a little bit just to make them appealing to a large audience. For another, the ⑤ information one can get from ③ secondary sources are second-hand. The author of a book or the director of a film might analyze and interpret a certain phenomenon differently from the audience. Consequently, the audience might be misled and ⑥ do not have a real picture of certain cultures.
In conclusion, traveling in person is a better way to learn ② distinctive culture since it provides first-hand experience that ⑦ cannot be paralleled by any other means.

Foreign tourist abroad should be charged more than local people when visiting the local historical and cultural tourist attractions. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (2011年4月30日 文化旅游类)
During the 20th century, contacts between different parts of the world developed quickly, thanks to air travel and telecommunication. To what extent do you think societies benefit from increased contact and closer relationship with foreigners brought about by international tourism and business? (2014年8月21日科技类)
The ① government should control the amount of ② violence in ③ films and televisio in order to ④ decrease the ⑤ level of violent crime in society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
With the development of the entertainment industry, more and more ③ TV programs and films have ② violent content . While I think controlling the amount of violence in ③ entertainment products can help to decrease criminal activities to a certain extent, more should be done in order to ④ reduce violent crimes .
People cannot deny that ⑤ too much exposure to violent content in TV programs and movies can be a causal factor for ⑥ aggressive behaviors , especially for young people. Nowadays, violence is so rampant that people cannot avoid it when they go to a movie or watch TV. ⑦ Kids who watch violent content are less sensitive to violence and fear of being harmed. ⑦ Youngsters, in their formative years , cannot tell right from wrong. Thus, they might not tell the difference between ③ the fictional worl and ⑧ reality , and tend to imitate whatever they see in the movie or TV ⑧ in real life .
However, it is worth noting that ② media violence is only one of many factors for ⑥ later aggressive and violent behaviors . ⑥ Extremely dangerous behavior never happens when there is only one risk factor present. To illustrate, a ⑩ mentally healthy person is not going to become a ⑥ massive shooter just because he or she start watching a lot of violent movies.
Therefore, reducing violent crimes is a complex issue, which requires comprehensive measures. ④ Controlling the amount of violent content in TVs and movies is not sufficient. Joint efforts from parents, ⑨ educators , and even the government are required. Parents and ⑨ instructors should be more attentive to their kids' ⑩ psychological development , making sure they are loved, and their ⑩ emotional needs are satisfied. ① The authority should spare no effort to create jobs and provide a better social welfare system for all citizens since the high unemployment rate is a potential factor for people to commit violent crimes.
In conclusion, just by ④ regulating violent content in ③ media is not sufficient and effective to reduce crimes. Comprehensive measures need to be adopted to ④ deal with this tricky issue .
