大家在練習雅思寫作的時候有沒有發現,有那么一些詞,基本上逃脫不了被寫在作文中的命運,比如“people”、“advantage”、“result”等。但同時又發現,除了重復用這些詞自己好像就沒有別的辦法,從而無法表現出詞匯的多樣性。
但詞匯多樣性又占據了雅思寫作1/4的分數,如果想拿到7分,這個問題就必須要克服。下面就把這些在寫作文時避不開的單詞的高級版分享給到大家,希望能幫助大家提高雅思寫作分數。
1、People
humans
例句:More work is needed on the interface between humans and machines.
mankind
例句:Travelling into space was a great advance for mankind.
humankind
例句:Advances in science should be used for the benefit of all humankind.
the public
當我們想要談及社會群眾這個概念的時候,就可以用“the public”,比如:
The national parks should be open to the public.
society
除了“the public”,“society”也同樣適用描述普通人群,比如:Children are the most vulnerable members of society.
還有一類人群也是同學們在練習雅思寫作時經常要用到的,那就是關于兒童、青少年的表達,而且尤其容易在高頻的教育、少年犯罪等話題中出現,所以同義替換的表達要趕緊積累。

3、Young people
teenagers
teenagers主要是指13-19歲的青少年,比如:Among all age groups, teenagers are the most physically active.
adolescents
adolescent主要是指介于“child”和“adult”之間的年齡,朗文詞典定義它是12-18歲中間的人群。用的時候可以這么寫:Signs of malnutrition are on the increase, especially among children and adolescents.
youth
這個詞可以指代所有年輕人,舉個例子:The youth of today are the pensioners(領退休金的人) of tomorrow.
4、Old people
middle-aged people
這個是指40-60歲的人群,打個比方:
This kind of treatment is indeed possible to reverse heart disease in unhealthy middle-aged people.
senior citizens
如果還想描述60以上的人群,就可以用這個詞,例如:
The government seems to be moving away from the pension for senior citizens.
