用语的重复和用语的低级其实是密切相关的,所以这个板块的方法和解决用词低级的方法很多是一致的.
用词的重复主要表现为将一个词/词组或者一个概念在作文中反复的使用-这是不符合ETS的用词的多样性的要求的.在我修改过的作文中,95%的习作都是不满足用语的多样性的.就如advantage一词,这个词几乎是90%的文章中都会用到的词汇,而且出现的次数往往大于两次,每次我帮大家修改作文,都要将出现2次或者3次的advantage改为:merit或者pros.又比如说表达原因的because,又不少的同学往往喜欢多次使用because,其实because这个词的本身就可以替换为due to, boils down to或者在结构上改为as或者for引导的从句.
解决用词重复的方法:

a.最简单最快的方法.

把词汇替换表背一背.,基本覆盖很多常用的表达.这个词汇替换表是专gate针对TOEFL考试的,为大家提供了一个常用单词的另外的一或者两种说法.同时,该表的绝大部分单词都有英文的注释(绝对可靠),使用时结合英文注释(英文注释决定了词汇使用的范围和语境,所以使用之前务必核对英文注释,看看是否符合语境),这样至少就可以使大家的词汇看起来很丰富.


b.结构替换法

这种替换的方法是针对一些常用的表达概念.比如:do not, can not, have to do, must, should这样容易重复的表示不,不能,不得不,必须,应该这类概念的替换.这些常见的在作文中容易出现表达重复的概念,是可以用一些比较高级的结构来进行替换的,但是这些替换也是根据不同的语境来确定的.
比如:Sb must do sth.这里就可以改变结构,说:Sth is a must-do to sb.

  又如:I cannot fall asleep when being besieged by such annoying noise.为了避免使用cannot,这里可以说:It is next to impossible for me who is besieged by such annoying noise to fall asleep.

再如:Just now I did not mention the disadvantages of B. 为了避免did not这里可以说: Just now I failed to mention the disadvantages of B. 其实do not这个概念在很多的情况下都可以改为fail to, 所以大家要留心.
又或者:You should do A. should这个概念就在这里就可以改为: Doing A, in most cases, does more good to you.这类的替换. 用这样的替换一是可以避免should的重复,二是可以防止should带来的那种说教的语气在文中出现.
总的来说,用替换结构这种方法对于语言的要求还是比较高的-因为你为了改变一个常用的表达,句子的其他成分也有可能该改变.不过为了使自己的语言变得更高级,这种方法是我强烈建议使用的.
