★ 你還只會用「國中英文單字」說英文、寫英文作文嗎?★
常常有英文程度已經很不錯的人跟我說覺得英文寫作很難。通常診斷這樣的人(如同在面試英文老師般),我會跟他說「你計時寫一篇英文作文讓我改看看。這樣的人,通常文法會錯很多口說因講話速度快偵查不出的小錯誤、用詞因為缺乏海量collocations (搭配詞)的學習導致很多「中文邏輯/思維湊出的合文法用法」、一句一句間的邏輯關係不夠緊密外,最常見的狀況,也是台灣學生普遍有的現象 (a pervasive/ubiquitous phenomenon) 就是只會用國中英文單字寫作,偶爾跑出一個最近從外語雜誌/新聞背的單字,但 因為缺乏在「有充分語境下的搭配字/用法」學習,而用得生硬無比。下面50個TOEFL/GRE字的用法,全部以這些字常出現的語境而呈現,希望大家能將他們抄下來記下來,這樣的學習,長年累積一定程度會大有增進。
