3. Vocabulary (Lexical Resources) 词汇量
First you should be able to talk about a wide range of topics. Try to learn a few words
for each topic given in this book. Practice DESCRIBING EVERYTHING around you
：
people, places, objects around you.
首先你必须能够广泛地谈论各种话题。学习本书中给每个话题提供的几个单词。
练习描述你周围的一切：人物、地点、身边的物体。
The best way for you to improve your vocabulary is to LEARN SYNONYMS
（＝
2 words which have similar meanings
．
Example
：
rich
＝
wealthy
＝
well-off)
．
By learning synonyms,
you will avoid repeating yourself.
扩大词汇量最好的方式就是学习同义词（即两个有着相似含义的单词，比如
richwealthy
＝
well-off)
。学习同义词可以避免重复。
In addition, be very careful with the different forms of words
：
students often get
confused between verbs
，
adjectives and nouns. (Example: to succeed, to be successful, to
meet with success; to communicate, communicative, communication)
另外，要注意词的不同形式。考生经常对动词、形容词和名词感到混乱。（例如：
to
succeed
，
to be successful
，
to meet with success
：
to communicate
，
communicative, communication
）
4. Grammar (Grammatical Range and Accuracy) 语法（语法结构的广范度和精确度）
Pay attention to tenses (PAST TENSE
！！！！
！！！
I went, I did, 1 gave, 1 wrote... Come on
！
You have been studying grammar every day at school since middle school
！
You have NO
excuse
！）
and TRY TO USE MODALS as much as possible (might, may, should, have to, can,
could.
）
留意时态（过去式：
I went, I did, I gave, I wrote...
拜托！从中学开始你们每天都在学习语
法！你 没有任何 借口！）并且 尽可能多 地使用情态 动词
(might, may, should, have to, can,
could...)
。
5. Pronunciation 发音
DON’T SPEAK TOO FAST
！
You will make mistakes
，
and the examiner might find it hard to
follow you. OPEN YOUR MOUTH; BE CLEAR
！
Don’t try to be too American by mumbling your
words
．
You were born in China; and the examiner knows you have an accent: everyone does.
Don’t think about it. JUST FOCUS ON CLARITY
！
语速切勿太快！语速太快你会出错，考官或许无法跟上你的思维。张开嘴，说清楚！请
勿尝试学习嘟嘟浓浓的过于美式的发音。你出生在中国，考官知道你有口音：每个人都有口
音。别担心这个问题。把精力集中在发音清晰上！
