很多同学在写作的时候,往往想到某个意思,立刻脑子中想到都是例如I think, important, show, because, moreandmore等等这些词汇,这些词汇在英语教学中,我们称他们为第一反应词,所谓第一反应词,很好理解,就是每个人第一时间反应出来的这些表达。那么,如果要写出一篇高质量的文章,除了内容,词的使用能够表现出你的英语能力,我们很多同学的阅读词汇量远远大于写作词汇量,原因很简单,大家背了很多漂亮的单词,但是却从不给他们“出镜”的机会,而是把这些第一反应词翻来覆去的用,这样的后果就是:第一,写文章时用词的质量一直上不去;第二,一直缺乏对背过的单词的应用以及通过应用的语境理解和辨析。下面,我给大家列举了我们在写作常用的那些第一反应词的替换表,旨在告诉大家,要让自己的语言表达能力书面化,多样化。
