大家好，我是SK2的Rosa，今天我們來練習換字吧！大家都知道換字很重要，但是通常沒辦法很隨意的變換字或是句型，今天我們以下面這題為例，練習paraphrase，當你可以練到自由變換字和句型，就成功囉！首先，為什麼要學會換字（paraphrase）呢？TOEFL Official Guide裡面有寫5分的高分作文，必須符合以下這點， It displays consistent facility in the use of language, demonstrating syntactic variety, appropriate word choice, and idiomaticity, although it may have minor lexical or grammatical errors. 也就是ETS要看你是否能夠在文章裡面展現些許變化的能力。所以變換字以及變換句型是重要的，目的是讓評分官知道你單字量和句型不少。以這題為例， Do you prefer a job with high salary but easy to lose or a stable job with lower salary? 假如我選的理由分別是money, challenges, reputation，我們可以先用以下最簡單的句型套入三個理由。建議同學先印出來這篇文章，練習寫寫看，再看我的解釋會更有幫助，並且把句子唸出來內化句型。 I focus on ＿＿＿＿, and a job with higher salary but easy to lose can provide me with ＿＿＿＿＿. 像這樣， I focus on money, and a job with higher salary but easy to lose can provide me with more money. I focus on challenges, and a job with higher salary but easy to lose can provide me with more challenges. I focus on reputation, and a job with higher salary but easy to lose can provide me with higher reputation. 接著，我們再來練習換動詞， I focus on money, and a job with higher salary but easy to lose can provide me with more money. I ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ challenges, and a job with higher salary but easy to lose can ＿＿＿＿＿ me more challenges. I ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ reputation, and a job with higher salary but easy to lose can ＿＿＿＿＿ me higher reputation. 想得到可以放什麼動詞嗎？ focus on的相似詞有 care about, place emphasis on, be concerned about, 等，而provide...with可以替換成give..., offer, 等。注意！這些片語是慣用語，所以要用的話就要用對喔！可以記住三種你最常用的動詞、句型，然後考試時內化，就不用花時間去想句型了，也不會冒著寫錯的風險。如此一來，就變成了以下這三句話， I focus on money, and a job with higher salary but easy to lose can provide me with more money. I care about challenges, and a job with higher salary but easy to lose can give me more challenges. I place emphasis on reputation, and a job with higher salary but easy to lose can offer me higher reputation. 這樣其實已經夠有變化了，不過我們還可以藉由增減字來改變一下三句話。所謂的增減字，顧名思義即增加或是減少一個字換字或是換句型，譬如： a job with higher salary but easy to lose = choosing a job with higher salary but easy to lose（增加字） = a job with higher salary but higher risk（減少字）此外，也可以用剛剛的方法—變換動詞，譬如： choose= select= pick 因此，綜合運用以上兩種方法—增減字以及變換動詞，三句話就會變成 I focus on money, and a job with higher salary but easy to lose can provide me with more money. I care about challenges, and choosing a job with higher salary but easy to lose can give me more challenges. I place emphasis on reputation, and selecting a job with higher salary but easy to lose can offer me higher reputation. 如此一來，三個主題句就有足夠的變化了。迷思：此時，你可能會想，這三句話的邏輯是否會太像？而且理由本身（money, challenges, reputation）難道不用變換字嗎？一、邏輯一致是好的，讓讀者能夠更簡單地看懂你的論點。第二、理由的概念在主題句裡面重複能夠加強讀者的印象，在例子裡面換字即可。因此，我們做個小總結，換字的兩種方法：一、找動詞或是轉折詞的同義字，例如：focus on變成care about，Therefore 變成Thus, 二、增減字，例如：在a job with higher salary but easy to lose前面多加個動詞choosing 換字很重要，但是確實需要時間練習，並且內化自己熟悉的用詞遣字。祝同學寫作都能夠獲得高分！更重要的是，透過練習作文的過程中，對於英文寫作越來越有心得，也更有信心。 Cheers, SK2 Rosa ^_____^ PS 想要瞭解更多寫作技巧嗎？不確定如何看一篇作文的好壞嗎？歡迎版上的同學免費進班聽課，學習怎麼寫出清楚的主題句以及好作文的元素，有興趣的同學請寫信至 toeflconsultant@gmail.com，主旨註明 “日期＿寫作課進班聽”，內容請附上中英文姓名。任選一梯次： 2/7（二）14:00-15:30 （Rosa教獨立寫作審題想點） 2/8（三）14:00-15:30（Show教口說評分標準以及1, 2題） 2/9（四）9:30-11:00（Rosa教獨立寫作審題想點） 2/10（五）9:30-11:00（Rosa教整合寫作如何記筆記） 2/11（六）14:00-15:30（Show教口說評分標準以及1，2題） 2/14（二）14:00-15:30（Rosa教整合寫作如何記筆記） -- Consultant David. iBT 118, R29/L29/S30/W30 Consultant Rosa. iBT 116, R30/L30/S26/W30 SK2 TOEFL Consultant Group. http://SK2toefl.blogspot.com -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 101.139.137.48 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/TOEFL_iBT/M.1486394235.A.828.html
