英語六級寫作用詞須富於變化

寫作是英語六級考試必考項目，作文語言枯燥無非有兩個主要原因，一是詞彙量太少，二是能聽、能 說、通用的積極詞彙量太小。

例1　If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things arepossible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who stillquestions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

【解析】這是奧巴馬競選總統勝利的演講詞的開頭部分。該演講詞第一部分 用了一個氣勢恢宏的排比句，句子中的三個謂語動詞值得我們學習:doubt, wonder, question。這三個詞意思相近，指懷疑。爲了避免詞語的重複使用，運用了三個近義詞。

例2　Maggie likes swimming but she doesn't care for skiing. She loves flying on planes andtraveling by train but she hates getting on buses because they are too crowded and dirty. Sheis not interested in playing the piano and she prefers reading to playing computer games. Sheloves going to Chinese restaurants and her favorite food is spicy Sichuan bean curd. Afterwork she is keen on listening to music. She prefers light music to rock, because light musicmakes her feel relaxed. She enjoys watching TV in the evening. She thinks a lot of newsprograms but sitcoms are the last kind of thing for her to watch.

【解析】本段語句選自全新版大學英語聽力課程第一冊。這是一段表達個人 喜好和厭惡情感的文字。文中用“loves”,“prefers”,“ favorite”,“is keen on”,“enjoys”, “thinks a lot”，來表達喜好;用“doesn't care for", "is not interested in”, “hates”,“the last kind of thing”，來表達厭惡。且在用詞上，否定與肯定錯落有致，長短對照，使人印象極爲深刻。
