同学们大家好，在雅思写作的过程中，你是否常常对于一些词汇的使用不是很清楚呢?今天为大家汇总了一些词汇的使用，回答一律来自英国的雅思考官，相信会帮大家解决很多困惑，来看一下这些词汇吧!

1. Q: What is the difference between "By contrast" and "In contrast"?

A: There is no difference. You can use either.

问："By contrast" 和 "In contrast"有区别吗?

答：没有。两者都可放心使用。

2. Q: Can I use idioms like "it was raining cats and dogs" in academic

Writing Task2?

A: No, idioms will be regarded as “memorized sentence”. And I'd definitely

avoid writing "it's raining cats and dogs" because no English speakers really

use this expression nowadays.

问：可以在雅思写作大作文中写类似"it was raining cats and dogs"这样的俗语吗?

答：不，俗语会被当作模板句。而且现在已经没人说"it's raining cats and dogs"这种话了。

3. Q: Which is correct: 'sport' or 'sports'?

A: Both are correct. 'Sport' is uncountable and refers to all sports in

general (e.g. I like sport). 'Sports' is the countable noun and refers to more

than one individual sport (e.g. I like team sports).

问：'sport' 和 'sports'，哪个写法是正确的?

答：两个都对。'Sport'不可数的时候表示整体的概念，例如，我喜欢运动;'Sport'可数的时候表示超过一种运动，如，我喜欢团体活动。

4. Q: Is it correct to write "water is evaporated"?

A: Yes, you can write "water is evaporated by the sun", but I would probably

just write "water evaporates".

问："water is evaporated"这种写法对吗?

答：是的，你可以写"water is evaporated by the sun"水被太阳蒸发了，但是没有by的时候我觉得写成"water

evaporates"更好。

5. Q: How would you define 'majority', 'few' and 'many' in percentages?

A: 'majority' normally means more than 50%. 'Few' and 'many' are normally

used with numbers rather than percentages: a small percentage of people could

still refer to a large number of (many) people. 'Many' and 'few' are difficult

to define because it depends on the context, but in general they refer to large

and small numbers respectively.

问：'majority', 'few' and 'many'怎么用百分比来定义?

答：'Majority'通常意味着超过50%。’Few‘和’many’通常用来修饰数量而不是百分比，如a small percentage of

people could still refer to a large number of (many) people.

’Few‘和’many’很难定义，因为通常要看上下文，多数时候它们都用来修饰数量。

以上就是今天为大家汇总的雅思写作中词汇的的正确使用方法。希望大家以后都能用词更加准确，今天先讲到这儿，下期见!
