另外三个标准参见我们的其他视频。
This criteria focuses on the range and accuracy of the vocabulary used in your writing.
词汇评分标准考查的是你在写作中使用词汇的广度和准确度。
Here are a few tips to improve your vocabulary.
分享一些增加词汇量的建议。
1. When you are learning English vocabulary, learn synonyms.
1. 在你学新单词的时候，要同时学习它的同义词。

This helps you to avoid repeating the same word.
这能避免你重复使用同一个词。
For example, learn different ways of describing changes or trends for Task 1 answers.
例如，在写作第一部分的答案中，学习用不同的表达方式来描述变化和趋势。
For both Task 1 and Task 2 answers, try not to use too many words from the exam question in your response.
在写作的两部分答案中，都不要太频繁地使用考题中出现的词。
Again, using synonyms can help you to reflect the same meaning.
再次强调，使用同义词能帮你用不一样的词表达相同的意思。
When analyzing your Task 2 exam question, you can brainstorm synonyms for the keywords in the question and use these throughout your essay answer.
在分析 Task 2 的题目时，可以头脑风暴一下，看看题目中的关键词都有哪些同义词，并且在写作的时候用上这些词。
“Alternative forms of transport should be encouraged and international laws introduced to control car ownership and use. ”
“应当鼓励使用不同的交通工具出行，同时相关的国际法也应当施行，以控制车辆的所有权和使用权。”（这个句子当中，Alternative可换成 other different；encouraged 可换成 promoted, supported; laws 替换为 legislation或 regulations；control 可替换为 manage、restrict；car 可替换为 vehicle 或 automobile。）
2. Also when you are learning vocabulary, don't learn one word at a time, learn word combinations or collocation.
2. 另外，当你学新单词的时候，不要每次只孤立地学单词，而是学习这个词的组合和搭配。
Remember the way words are used together and avoid typical mistakes such as “He was guilty of making a crime(wrong)", "He was guilty of committing a crime(right)."
记住单词是如何搭配使用的，避免犯这样的常见错误：He was guilty of making a crime，这个搭配是错误的，正确的说法是 He was guilty of committing a crime.
3. English words are often part of families, for instance, “Nowadays every economical is struggling. ”(wrong)
3. 英语单词通常都是某个词汇家族的一部分，但往往词性或者词义有很大的差别。比如下列句子，Nowadays every economical is struggling. economical 是个形容词，指经济的、实惠的，所以放在这里是错的。
Nowadays every economic is struggling. (wrong)
Nowadays every economic is struggling. 同样错误。ecomonic也是形容词，指经济上的。
Nowadays every economics is struggling. (wrong)
Nowadays every economics is struggling. 错误。economics 虽然是名词，但是指经济学。
Nowadays every economy is struggling.(right)
Nowadays every economy is struggling. 正确，ecomony 名词，指(就经济体制而言)国家，经济制度。
When writing, use the correct word formation for the context.
在写作时，应当根据上下文使用正确的构词方式。
4. Always leave time at end of the test to check your writing.
4. 在考试最后一定要留出时间检查。
For errors and add in a wider range of language.
一是检查错误，二是增加更丰富的词汇。
Be sure you use less common vocabulary correctly.
确保那些不太常用的词你都用对了。
You are not trying to impress the examiner with your vocabulary; you're not being assessed on the creativity or the correctness of your ideas.
不必指望靠你的词汇量惊艳考官，考官也不会根据你的答案是否独创或看法是否正确来打分。
You are demonstrating your ability to express and develop ideas precisely and effectively.
你只需要展现你的表达能力，把观点简明到位地组织起来就可以了。
