五、詞匯量不足的應急措施
詞匯量不足是影響寫作的一個重要因素。一個意思往往會因為一個單詞不會而表達不清，一個好的句子也會因為一個詞匯想不起來而不能完成。如何應付這種情況使作文順利進行下去？下面三種簡便的應急措施可能對你有所幫助。
1、試用籠統詞
英語中籠統詞有have，take等，籠統詞的重要特點在于意義廣泛、搭配性強、構成詞組后可替代眾多具體動詞。雖然不能精確表達一個動作，卻能大致表達意思。舉例如下：
1、I experienced a terrible time. = I had a terrible time.
2、I will preside over the meeting. = I will take the meeting.
3、Do you understand my meaning? = Do you take my meaning?
4、They occupied the city. = They took the city.
5、The boy resembles his father. = The boy takes after his father.
2、聯想有關詞匯
當遺忘產生時，或遇到未學過的詞時，應采取放射性思維，發揮想象力，想出一切與之有關的單詞，利用語言的內在聯系，多層次多角度的運用語言。一般聯想可按照下列思路進行：
①、聯想同義詞。舉例如下：
1、I had a nightmare last night. = I had a bad dream last night.
2、He is stupid. = He is foolish. = He is a fool. = He is silly.
3、The food is delicious. = The food is tasty. = The food tastes good.
4、His temper is nasty. = His temper is terrible. = He has a bad temper.
②、聯想反義詞。舉例如下：
1、He is stubborn. = He is not tame.
2、The knife is blunt. = The knife is not sharp.
3、This is expensive. = This is not cheap.
4、She is talkative. = She is never quiet.
3、使用解釋性語句
語言的功能在于表達，而表達的方式是多種多樣的。當一個詞影響到某個意思的完整表達時，我們可以用迂回的方式加以溝通。舉例如下：
He is a dumb. = He is a person who can not speak.
He refused. = He said “No.”
I’ve never seen such a stubborn person. = I’ve never seen such a person who never listens to other’s advice.

第六單元 寫作套路
我們知道，文章的結構掌控著文章的全局。作文的內容固然重要，但它離不開結構的襯托。沒有結構的內容就猶如一盤散沙，令人無所適從。
以下的套路可以幫助初寫者理清思路，使文章不至于離題萬里。恰當使用這些套路的關鍵在于靈活運用而不是生搬硬套。
（一）、My View ON…題型
公說公有理，婆說婆有理，許多話題永遠爭論不休。寫作常考的就是這種題型。例如：“1、失敗是常有的事。2、人們對失敗有各種不同的態度。3、我對失敗的態度。” “1、有人認為金錢是幸福之本SOURCE OF HAPPINESS。2、也有人認為金錢是萬惡之源ROOT OF EVIL。3、我的看法。”等等。下面三種套路可任選一個。
套路一：
People’s views/ideas/opinions on……vary from person to person. Some people think that…… They hold this opinion because…… However, others hold that……
As to me, I am in favor of the first/second idea. The following are the reasons of/for my choice/personal inclination.
First, while it is true that……, it doesn’t mean that…… Besides/On the other hand, …… Admittedly,…… but this is not to say that……
Therefore/In a word/From things mentioned above, ……
套路二：
Different people may have different views on…… It is held that…… But it is also held that……
Those who hold the first opinion…… In contrast, those who hold the second view……
As to me, I agree with the latter opinion. Admittedly, ……. But this is not to say that……
套路三：
When asked about a theme, different people will offer different opinions…… is no exception. Some people take it for granted/say/think/believe that…… However, others hold that……
As far as I am concerned, I am in favor of the first/second view. The reasons are as follows.
First, there is an element of truth that…… but it doesn’t follow that…… A case in point is that…… Therefore, the first view doesn’t hold water/cannot bear much analysis/can’t stand up to close examination.
In conclusion……
（二）、Advantage and Disadvantage of…題型
事物總是一分為二的。寫作題目中有許多是涉及某一事物的正反兩方面。比如“運動的積極因素和消極因素”，“雙休日的好處與負作用”，“新的科技給社會帶來的好處與問題”等等。凡涉及到利弊的題目時都可以用下面這個套路。
套路:
Nowadays, …… plays an important part/role in…… Like everything else, ……has/have both favorable and unfavorable aspects. Generally, the advantage can be listed as follows.
First, …… Besides, …… Most important of all, ……
But every coin has two sides. The negative aspects are also apparent. To begin with, …… To make matters worse/worst of all, ……
Through above analysis, I believe that the advantages/positive aspects outweigh the disadvantage/negative ones. Therefore, ……
