写作词汇如何积累？我们经常出现的问题是，机械地背了一些词，但是真正写文章的时候用不上，想不起来，而自己的文章，基本上都是拼凑出来的，用的也都是自己非常熟悉的的表达，来不及想高级表达，或者生硬套模板，原因是，我们输入的内容不一定能用在我们的写作中，并且，我们输入的时候没有可以练习造句、输出，输入的就是干枯的，没有语境的内容，输出就不会好到哪里去。因此，给大家的建议是，先在不同的与语境中理解这个词，自己根据中文翻译自己造句，错了没关系，对比原文，思考哪里不对，记录下来，反复练习，脱口而出。这些常用论证的表达，如果你能脱口而出，一定可以成为考场上作文的加分项。加油！

论证中经常使用的方法是比较和对比，但是，除了compare and contrast之外，你是不是词穷了呢？ 雅思词汇多样性可是一个重要评分标准，换词是王道。首先，最常见的compared to 大家先根据下面的语境，练习自己造句翻译，再比对原文，琢磨遣词造句，这样的互动式吸收效果很好，不知不觉中，你还会习得很多大作文常用的主题词、动词搭配。

提升写作简单粗暴的方式，就是背句子。背单词没用，因为你背了也不会用，背范文没用，因为整段抄会被判雷同，但是背诵搭配和句子是非常有用的。 背单词不如背句子，当你能脱口而出200个写作句子的时候，你会发现自己在写的时候会自然写出学到的搭配。这里给大家精心整理雅思写作万能背诵金句，大家熟练朗读，背起来！
