一 、词汇等级

所谓词汇等级就是在写作的过程中 ，如果想出一个基本词汇来之后 ，能够在这个基本词汇的基础上把 它再提升一下 ，比如，我们一提到重要的 ，大多数同学首先会想到 important 这个单词 ，那么提升一下的话 就可以想到它的如下同义词 ：significant, vital, main, key, crucial 等 。再如 ：

方面 sides→aspects

表明 show→demonstrate, indicate

利用 use→utilize

因此 / 结果 so→therefore

部分 part→proportion

提高 improve→enhance, reinforce

改变 change→transform

强调 emphasize→attach great importance to, pay more attention to, place more importance to

培养 develop→cultivate

经常 often→frequently

使 make→enable

非常 very→exceedingly, extremely

令人兴奋的 exciting→thrilling

越来越 more and more→ increasingly

发展 development→advancement

影响 effects / influences→impacts

知道 know→be aware of

因为 because→in that

最后 at last→eventually

但是 but→however
