1. 巧用近義詞或反義詞
寫漢語作文時，我們都遇到過這樣的情景，某個詞忘記了如何寫。當(dāng)這種情況出現(xiàn)的時候，你會怎么辦？找其他詞替換不失為一種選擇。而我們所能想到的詞，基本分為兩類，一是近義詞，一是反義詞。這種方法同樣適用于英語作文的寫作。
I had a nightmare last night. = I had a bad dream last night.
Nightmare 使用頻率不太高，因此不太好記。而其同義詞bad dream 卻很容易記。以后者取代前者絲毫不影響原句的意義。
I can't endure. = I can't stand.
He witnessed the accident. = He saw the accident.
I have attempted to earn my living,:mechanic, carpenter, writer. = I have tried to earn my living,:mechanic, carpenter, writer.
Accutally, I have forgot who he was.= In fact, I have forgot who he was.
The crucial point is whether we should go ahead with the project. = The important point is whether we should go ahead with the project.
"It was an enormous culture shock, " She says. = “It was a big culture shock. ” She says.
They discontinued the work at five. = They stopped the work at five.
英語語言中詞與詞之間是有聯(lián)系的，詞與詞之間語義的“共核”現(xiàn)象即所謂的同義詞。豐富的同義詞給我們提供了極大的方便。
同樣，用其反義詞來取代某一遺忘了的詞也是可行的，請看下面的例子：
He is stubborn. = He is not tame.
The knife is blunt. = The knife is not sharp.
This is expensive. = This is not cheap.
She is talkative. = She is never quiet.
2. 使用解釋性語句
語言的表達方式不局限于一種，而是多種多樣的。當(dāng)一個詞影響到溝通，可以用解釋性的語句來表達。如：
I don't capture the meaning of his words. = I don't know what he said.
Caputre對某些考生來說可能存在難度，這時我們不妨用一種通俗簡單的方式表達，即用后一句話來表達前一句話的意思。這種情況可以廣泛用到英語的表達中。下面的例句可以給考生提供一些思路：
He refused. = He said “no”.
Surfing the Internet has become a prevailing phenomenon. = Suring the Internet has become a phenomenon that can be seen everywhere.
People's view varies from pereson to person.= Different people have different ideas.
在有限的時間內(nèi)寫出一篇從文章構(gòu)思到遣詞造句都很好的文章是很困難的。在這種情況下，考生要有清晰的做題思路。四六級作文的評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)一般側(cè)重于能清楚地表達意義，段落，層次有系統(tǒng)性，語法正確，而并不過分強調(diào)用詞的精確度。因此，考生沒必要花太多時間和精力斟酌詞句，而是致力于文章的清晰明確的表達上，即用簡單的詞句表達出清晰的文章內(nèi)容。
