雅思考試小作文活用簡單詞拿高分
大家在準備雅思小作文的時候有什麼心得呢?小作文裏其實有着不少的精髓呢，如果你能在雅思小作文中好好準備，說不定還會生出大智慧呢。下面就和我們一起來看看雅思小作文中活用簡單詞該怎樣拿高分，說不定會幫助大家呢。
我們一起來看看評分標準中9分檔對於詞彙的要求——use a wide range of vocabulary with very natural and sophisticated control of lexical features; rare minor errors occur only as “slips”. “natural and sophisticated control of lexical resources of lexical features”即“自然使用並且掌握詞彙特徵”，詞彙的高分不是來源於“又難又專的高大上”而是 “妖怪一般的靈性”。這也就是爲什麼有的時候你的全文用了7，8種變化多端的“佔據”相關表達、或者用了更多的“上升、下降”但是分數卻不見本質性改變的根本原因。下面讓我們通過劍橋雅思7 Test4的一篇考官範文來發現其中的奧祕吧。
The charts compare the sources of electricity in Australia and France in the years 1980 and 2000. Between these years electricity production almost doubled, rising from 100 units to 170 in Australia, and from 90 to 180 units in France.
1：double，triple這一類型的詞彙體現出了更爲形象的數值本身的變化，比單純的“上升、下降更爲準確”，同時又比“上升，下降+數值”更加簡潔。準確而且簡潔的表達完全可以稱的上是 “natural and sophisticated control of lexical resources of lexical features”的境界。
In 1980 Australia used coal as the main electricity source (50 units) and the remainder was produced from natural gas, hydro power (each producing 20 units) and oil (which produced only 10 units). By 2000, coal had become the fuel for more than 75% of electricity produced and only hydro continued to be another significant source supplying approximately 20%.
2： produce， supply這些簡單的動詞是與“能量”對應數值最恰當的搭配方式，並不是我們經常記憶的那些“佔據”，因此小作文中我們將常會遇到考察的描述對象可能是“能量”或者“食品的銷量”，與這些最合適的搭配應該是這些“靈氣滿滿”的動詞 produce，supply或者是 buy,sell,consume。
In contrast, France used coal as a source for only 25 units of electricity in 1980, which was matched by natural gas. The remaining 40 units were produced largely from oil and nuclear power, with hydro contributing only 5 units. But by 2000 nuclear power, which was not used at all Australia, had developed into the main source, producing almost 75% of electricity, at 126 units, while coal and oil together produced only 50 units. Other sources were no longer significant.
3：A be matched by B 即A=B
4： contribute=produce
5：develop ，某一個描述對象所對應的數值變得更主導了，我們可以用develop 寫出這裏所呈現的正向發展。
Overall, it is clear that by 2000 these two countries relied on different principal fuel sources: Australia relied on coal and France on nuclear power.
6：rely on，depend on 表達的是“使用量大”的終極總結。
這些詞彙其實大家在接觸，account for，constitute，之前早已掌握，只是還沒有發現他們在小作文中的天然用途吧，從今天起，這些詞彙也出現在你的文章中把，讓考官驚歎一下，原來我們的文章中也會出現這些靈動的詞彙!
雅思小作文要做到表達的和諧，這是平時我們在學習中一點一滴的積累，也許可能覺得題目中不像之前會有一些自己不認得的生僻單詞，有些人覺得是對於詞彙的要求降低了?當然不是，我們要會去活學活用，只有靈活才能讓我們的作文生動起來。
