雅思、托福写作中小词汇大作用

1、雅思、托福写作中小词汇大作用.每次课堂中，若问到学生关于对写作的感受，听到最多的就是语法和词汇的问题；大多数学生都认为只要词汇用的高级、有难度，就一定能够得到很高的分数。其实，这只是一个误区。在很多高分甚至是满分的作文中，我们都会发现整篇文章都没有一个生词，所以，问题的关键应该是在于如何灵活地运用这些我们非常熟悉的小词，如何让它们在作文中发挥大作用。在下文中，朗阁海外考试研究中心将给大家列举一些在雅思和托福写作中可以用得很精彩的小词以及它们的具体运用。1.社会生活类Skip:The poor tend to smoke more andskip breakfast, two factors w
