写作六大秘籍推荐之二[1]

在文章的写作中，少运用一些general words,反而多增加specific images. 什么是general words和specific images那，例如说; car 就是general words,因为车的种类有很多。 而Benz SUV 就是specific images。 在考试的时候，多使用specific words可以帮助把物体解释的更清楚。读者也会获得更多的信息，使他们对你的文章更方便了解。下面，让我们通过几个例子来证明；

例一 General: Tom got into his car and drove off.

Specific: Tom leaped into his SUV and roared off.

例二 General: The writer wrote a three-page critique of the painting in which he said he did not like it.

Specific: In his three-page critique, the art critic squeezed every drop of meaning- and enjoyment- out of the 3-inch by 3-inch pastel.

General words 对人物，地点，和事物的介绍都无法给读者准备的信息，所以为了更清楚的说明，把这些名词都应该换成specific words.

例三 General: An old dog came up the street.

Specific: An ancient, gray-muzzled golden retriever wandered up Bluebird Canyon Road.

例四 General: My coach illustrates the point about playing fairly.

Specific: My basketball coach, Ms Berry, illustrates the essay- ist’s point about playing fairly.

例五 General: At the end of the day, the workmen walked up the snow-covered road.

Specific: At the end of the day, the tired workmen trudged wearily up the snow-covered road.

Specific images 也可以使用在你的感想和对某个事物的理解上

例六 General: I thought the essay was well-written and interesting.

Specific: I thought the writer effectively organized her essay to move from the specific to the general.
