托福写作常用表达和词汇的替代词解析

　　托福写作中句式重复用词单一的问题困扰了许多同学，有些考生其实词汇基础并不差，但到了考试里还是会忍不住使用自己常用的少数词汇和表达，无法在文章里体现自己的词汇掌握水平。托福写作的常用词汇需要准备相应的替代词。

　　1. The fact is that…

　　替换词：The reality is that…

　　例句：The reality is that this will be hard, if not impossible, to achieve.

　　2. joy

　　替换词：happiness/ delight/ enjoyment

　　例句：Only those who love their work can get inside the delight in work.

　　3. sadness

　　替换词：sorrow/ grief(程度逐渐加深)

　　4. danger

　　替换词：hazard/ peril (后面这个词语气很强，危险程度非同一般)

　　例句：A new report suggests that chewing gum may be a health hazard.

　　例句：They were in peril of death from hunger.

　　5. advertisement/ advertising

　　如果你写过关于广告的题目，就一定体会过不停轮换使用advertisement/ advertising有多郁闷。其实主体段论证中完全可以把广告类细化，比如：

　　8. human beings(被考生使用过多)

　　替换词：humanity(注意这个词的单数指人类，复数指人文学科)/the human race

　　例句：They face charges of committing crimes against humanity.

　　9. wealth

　　替换词：wealthy/ affluent (adj.)

　　fortune(s) (指一大笔钱。fortune作财富的意思时可以加复数)

　　[相关] rich

　　例句：He endowed the hospital with half his fortune.Cigarette smoking used to be more common among affluent people.

　　10. skill(技能，本领)

　　替换词：technique(注意这个词的正确解释是技能或者方法，而不是technology科技)

　　例句：To compete with others and obtain good evaluation, students must learn many techniques and get high grades.
