Use of Language (语言的使用) 1. The use of words（选取最恰当的词使表达生动鲜明、充实而有效） 1) 简易常用词和拼读复杂词 由于历史的缘故，英语和北欧语、希腊语、意大利语和法语有着密切的联系，由此出现许多外来词。而这些外来词在英语本语中往往可以找到同义或近义词。一般来说，外来词较长，拼写与记忆较难，多用于正式文体，如政府文件、学术性著作、法律文书等，属于拼读复杂词；本语词拼写较短，多用于日常写作及会话，属于简易常用词。从应试的角度来说，由于本语词较短、易识别且使用频率高，我们提倡多使用，这样可以提高表达效率，使文章清楚明了，又可减少错误率。 Examples: ask (本语) question(法语) interrogate (拉丁语) 2) 一般词和具体词 一般词具有概括和抽象的特点，适于在段落之首提出主题思想和末尾总结概括。而具体词可以使意思表达的更准确、生动和鲜明，适于展开主题。 Examples: Plant: tree, bush, vegetable, flower, fruit Vegetable: cabbage, turnip, carrots, onions, garlic, potatoes, cucumber, lettuce, cauliflower, pepper broccoli, eggplant, mushrooms, tomatoes Fruit: apple, peach, pear, strawberry, grapes, orange, watermelon, pineapple, mango, bananas, kiwifruit, cherry, apricot Walk: edge, limp, shuffle, trudge, trot, pace, stagger, toddle, stroll Look: see, watch, observe, perceive, sight, spot scan, glance peer, stare, gaze, behold Laugh: giggle, titter, chuckle, grin, guffaw Cry: weep, sob, groan, wail, lament, whimper 第二讲　写作考试中一些常用词 3）写作考试中一些常用词 *Although she is one of my friends, she strongly against my opinion. *She is getting married in next month. *His body is healthy. *Children are dangerous when they play with matches. *In one hand we should study hard, in other hand we should be independent by doing part-time jobs. 1) Such things do not happen every day.
