想要托福出分，考试中最好不要使用这10个词汇！-新东方前途出国

托福口语和写作部分都对考生的词汇Vocabulary有明确的要求，SpeechRater和E-Rater这两个评分引擎将会评估考生的词汇量，如果频繁使用不准确的、表意模糊的词会表明你的词汇量有限，从而影响2个部分的分数。

01/

Very / so 

Very这个词在英语表达中“very”是一个力度很低的词语，“very”的频繁使用不仅会让考官觉得无聊，还显示出了考生贫瘠的词汇量，甚至有的时候very并不能给句子加分，比如：My mother is very caring 和 My mother  very caring 两句的表达其实是没有因为very产生不同。

所以uu们，别再用毫无新意的very了，如果你的确有频繁使用very的习惯，可以在口语写作的练习中加以重视，适当使用一些替换词，逐步取代单调的very+形容词表达法，如：

very afraid  terrified

very boring  dull

very careful  cautious

very cold  freezing

very difficult  challenging

...

02/

Of course·

不建议使用of course的原因有两个，因为这样的过渡会暗示你的读者以及听众并不聪明，或者你并没有充分解释你的想法。

❎Of course,living in a dorm is a lot less expensive than living in an apartment.

✅Clearly, living in a dorm is a lotless expensive than living in anapartment.

03/

Thing / Stuff·

使用“thing或“stuff”意味着你不知道如何描述一个物体或一些现象，暴露了自己的词汇匮乏，所以建议考生一定要学会用详细的词去进行描述表达。

❎Finally, I have taken my things to my new dorm.

✅Finally, I have taken my belongings（财物） to my new dorm.

❎The stuff  in the meeting lasted more than two hours.

✅The proceedings（事件） in the meeting lasted more than two hours.

04/

Always ·

使用always是典型的夸大了论点中的观点，因此，不建议托福考生使用这个副词，可以尝试替换为usually 。

❎My roommate always throws hisclothes on the floor.

✅My roommate usually throws hiclothes on the floor.

05/

Never ·

这里托福老师Buckhoff指出，never和always有相似的问题，never也容易夸大。

❎My roommate never lost her temper because she was a goodperson.

✅Instilled in her that being angry was an unacceptable form of human expression, my roommate rarely lost her temper.

06/

A lot ·

在关于数量的表达中，也要做到用词精准，并且正式，在写作中，a lot of/lots of表示为“许多”，较为不正式，除了使用many或者much来表达，还可以恰当的使用a plethora of进行表达。

❎A  lot  of  books are piled onto the bookshelves by the wall.

✅A plethora of（过多的） books are piled onto the bookshelves by the wall.

07/

Good ·

在托福口语写作中小伙伴们是不是还在用 good？你的词库真的该更新啦！这些词不仅仅简单基础，无法体现出你的词汇量，也不能表示事物不同程度的“好”。

❎My TOEFL mentor was a good help to when while I was completing my speaking and writing practice tests.

✅My TOEFL mentor was a splendid（极 佳的） help to when while I was completing my speaking and writing practice tests.

08/

Nice ·

和前面很多词的问题一样，nice也是一个表意模糊不准确的词，而对于想取得高分的托福考生来说，应该选择更加准确的词来表达。

❎For these reasons, I have usually found my mother to be nice.

✅For these reasons, I have usually found my mother to be cordial（亲切的）.

09/

Really ·

Really的问题像开头提到的very和so，是一个不太精确表达程度的词，所以建议大家可以用更高级的词汇替换表达：

❎I told my friend that it was really important to talk to the professor if he had questions about his final term project.

✅I told my friend that it was distinctly important to talk to the professor if he had questions about his final term project.

10/

Anything ·

Anything可以是一切事物，这种不准确的用词描述尽量不要出现在托福考试中，考生们需要学会详细描述事物，展开解释anything这个词也会让你的论据更加充分。

❎I would do almost anything inorder to live with a compatible roommate.

✅Interviewing several people before making my choice, requiring references, and making sure the chosen candidate gives me a $2,000 deposit will ensure that I can select the most qualified person to live with me.
