在托福写作中，结构和内容固然重要，但语言也不可小觑。好的语言、准确的表达，能够将我们的逻辑和内容更清晰地呈现给读者。因此为了让我们的文章在万千文章中stand out，尝试着替换一些低效的常用词，通过一些微小的用词上的改变，提升整篇文章的品质吧。

　　1.Good

　　High on any list of most used English words is “good.” While this word may appear to be the perfect adjective for nearly anything, that is precisely what makes it so vague. Try getting more specific. If something’s going well, try “superb,” “outstanding” or “exceptional.”

　　总用Good的作文，无法变得outstanding

　　只要是“好/有利”，大家第一个想到的应该就是Good吧~的确，这个词好用到，简直可以形容世界上的一切事物，有一种“一言以蔽之”的奇效!善良的(kind)、热心的(warm-hearted)、善解人意的(thoughtful)人全都可以说a good person。世界突然变得好单调啊有木有。

　　所以请大家慎用good，尝试使用更多准确的形容词进行修饰~ 如果想要表达“杰出的，相当相当好”，good就应该被替换为superb, outstanding, exceptional。

　　2.New

　　Another of the common words in English is “new.” “New” is an adjective that doesn’t always set off alarm bells, so it can be easy to forget about. Give your writing more punch by ditching “new” and using something like “latest” or “recent” instead.

　　一提到“最新的技术”，我们就会翻译成the newest technology，其实，除此之外还可以说latest, recent, updated来替代哦!还有一个词组：brand new表示“全新的，焕然一新的”也不错。

　　3.Long

　　Much like “new,” “long” is spent, yet it doesn’t always register as such while you’re writing. Instead of this cliché phrase, try describing exactly how long it is: “extended,” “lingering” or “endless,” for example.

　　比如for a long time就可以改为for an extended period of time

　　lingering = continuing to exist for longer than is usual desirable

　　endless = seems to continue forever 上一个只是更长，这一个是长到永恒了

　　除了文中推荐的这些词，还可以用：

　　long-lasting(常用来形容relationship，比如long-lasting friendship，请不要再说：We have a long friendship啦!So weird!)同义词还有enduring

　　prolonged(比预期时间要长，而且是使情况恶化，比如Pollution is a prolonged issue)

　　protracted(非常formal的表达，扩日持久的，连续好几天都很长，可以用来形容meeting, negotiation)

　　4.Old

　　“Old” is cer tainly one of those common words that means more to readers if you’re specific about how old a subject is. Is it “aged”, “ancient,” “fossilized(老顽固，明明应该改，但就是不肯改新思想),” “decaying(腐朽而没落)” or “decrepit(老而且旧，be in bad condition)”?除此之外，主页君还想要补充一个：称呼老年人为the old固然可以，但总是有一点不太尊重的意思，更推荐大家说the elderly哦

　　5.Right

　　“Right” is also among the common words that tends to slip through our writer filters. If somebody is correct, you could also say “exact” or “precise.” Don’t let habit words like “right” dampen your writing.

　　Right是非常口语化的表达，适当可以替换为exact, precise这样的说法!

　　6.Different

　　Here’s another adjective that falls a bit flat for readers, but can also easily be improved by getting more specific. Saying something is “odd” or “uncommon” is very different than saying it is “exotic” or “striking.”different真的是总会遇到

　　odd = different from what is normal and expected, especially in a way that you disapprove of or cannot understand 贬:古怪的(插播一句，approve/ disapprove后边一定要加of再接宾语哦!)

　　uncommon = rare or unsusal 中性:不常见的

　　exotic = unusual and interesting because it is related to a foreign country 褒:有异域风情的，非常不寻常而其诶有趣因为和外国有关

　　striking = attractive in an unusual way that is easy to notice 褒:异乎寻常，引人注目所有这些词大家在使用的时候请一定要注意语境(context)哦!
