我们再来看看剑桥雅思上的范文 剑桥雅思15第128页7分文章词汇评语▼
剑15第137页6.5分文章词汇评语 ▼
剑17第129页6.5分文章词汇评语 ▼
考官的评语已经很明显了：long after/for, housing market; motivating, achieve their objectives, dedication; damage the society, receive huge benefits 这些就已经算 less common vocabulary 了，并不是那种从阅读的角度认识，而在写作中用不出来的词汇和表达；更不是需要去查词典才能认识的偏难怪词。 因此，各位同学，Shark 在写作月计划给大家的句子背诵，比如下面讲到全球通用语言的话题： A global language is another way to express ourselves, which can facilitate communication because people may communicate with this universal language without translation. Linguistic globalization can also promote the communication between businesses and among academic communities. 加下划线的就是 less common words，所以大家不要再迷信什么“高级词汇”啦！真正在雅思写作考试中有用的 less common words 我们在写作月计划的几乎每一天的学习中，都会让大家像上面句子一样不断积累和背诵。只有这样去背，才能用得出来，用得准确。 下面这篇7分的文章，来自写作月计划学员小橘子的考场实考作文，你可以在文中找到哪些 less common words 呢？ 同学考场7分作文 （本文版权为该同学和本公众号所有） 日期：2022年2月12日考场：四川大学纸考考场 Topic: In some cultures, older people enjoy the retirement after work by spending money (ie on holiday) rather than giving their children. Is it a positive or a negative development? In some countries, retiring people tend to invest their money in their personal life such as visiting everywhere instead of leaving that for their offspring. Personally, I deem this a good phenomenon.First, spending rather than giving does good to both the senior and the young.Savings from the senior’s years of working can finally support their retiring life in various ways. Without concerns from the work, they can have stress-free holidays or a spending spree as they worry nothing about their children’s finance. In terms of the young, they are expected to make their own living as they cannot get financial support from their parents, avoiding being spoiled and thus a chance to be more self-sufficient and independent. To be specific, they have to manage their own finance and be responsible for their bills.Moreover, the government and society also benefit from the way in which the aged people spending during their retirement. Parents care more about themselves after retiring, lightening the financial burdens of the welfare system and enabling the government to worry less about the pension. From an economic perspective, more consumption from those who retire serves as a booster for particular industries. For instance, this group of people invest more on healthcare because their bodies are more fragile than they used to be.In conclusion, retiring people leaving no money for the children but enjoying by themselves contributes to both individuals and the society.
