提高雅思词汇量——教育篇

  如果你正在背诵雅思词汇,制定阶段性目标非常重要。例如,阅读英文书籍是学习新词汇的绝佳方式,但如果你近期就要参加雅思考试,这可能不是最适合的方法。

  在本系列文章中,将为你介绍学习雅思词汇的各种方法,每篇文章都将重点介绍一个常见的雅思考试的主题,并介绍如何将单词和短语排列成词汇组。创建自己的词汇集,而不是简单地背诵词汇表,可以确保学习过程对自己有用。为了帮助大家入门,文章中还整理了如何使用单词和短语的示例,以及如何使用它们。
 

  “教育”相关词汇
 

  考生经常被要求在雅思口语考试中谈论自己的教育背景,因此你必须具备描述学校经历所需的词汇量。从与个人相关的单词和短语来开始记录自己的词汇集,虽然一开始可能还不熟悉。一段时间之后,你就可以使用其他单词和短语来扩展您的词汇集,用自己积累起来的词汇集,以更常用的表达来谈论或写作与有关教育的内容。
 

  为了让词汇集真正发挥作用,你需要的不仅仅是带有翻译的单词列表。我们建议你记录一些细节,以帮助正确使用新词汇。这些细节包括词性、含义、搭配,例句,以及发音注释。看看下面的词汇集。这些单词被分为相关的子主题,并包含每个单词或短语的重要信息:
