2018年12月大学英语四级作文高分技巧
英语写作中经常会出现在同一文章中反复使用同一个词、词组的情况，这就是我们通常所说的重复。用词重复主要表现在名词、动词、形容词等实词的重复上。例如：
名词重复
Catherineoffered him moral help and also practical help.
动词重复
I likereading while my brother likes playing football.
形容词重复
Mark Twainis famous for his short novels in America, and now he isalso becoming more andmore famous with Chinese readers.
为避免用词的重复，可采用以下方法：
省略
省略是避免重复最主要的手段。它可以节省词语，使句子结构更紧凑，还可以有效避免名词、动词、形容词的重复。例如：
名词省略
They arefine actors. Smith is the finest (actor) I’ve everseen.
动词省略
Jack needn’t stay here， but George must (stay here).
形容词省略
Robertseemed angry， and George certainly was (angry).
代词代替
这种方法主要用于解决名词的重复问题。例如：
Catherineoffered him moral help and also practical help.
可改为：Catherineoffered him moral help and also practical one.
再如：Can yourepair this chair? I broke it yesterday.
同义词、反义词、派生词转换
名词、动词、形容词都适用这种方法。
名词同义词转换
原句：Thesnow was heavy last night.
修改后： Itsnowed heavily last night.
动词同义词转换
原句：Therunner couldn’t catch up with the others in the race.
修改后：Therunner fell behind the others in the race.
形容词同义词转换
原句：I amcompletely confident that I am competent for the new job.
修改后：I amcompletely confident that I am qualified for the new job.
四级作文高分方法二：短语优先原则
使用短语替换单词具有两大优势：
文章显得更为地道，增加亮点;
增加字数。
例：
原句：When hewas a child， he wanted to learn everything.
修改后：Whenhe was a child， he had a strong appetite for knowledge.
与原句中的wantedto learn everything相比，修改后的例句中的had a strong appetite forknowledge更能表现出“他”的求知若渴，表达更加生动。

温馨提示，由于英语词义范围非常广泛，即便是同义词也只是某种程度上的近似，不可能在意义上完全对等，所以大家在选词时要注意同义词含义上的细小差别哦。
例如：
句一： Sothere arises the problem: What should we do to get rid of the wrong attitudestoward the migrant workers?
句二： Sothere arises the question: What should we do to get rid of the wrong attitudestoward the migrant workers?
problem指的是“实际存在的问题”或“需要解决的现实问题”，question指的是“可获得解释或回答的问题”，此处用question更为恰当。
