  一、such as与for example的混用

  我们知道,在表示举例子的时候,such as与like是完全等同的,如:Wild flowers such as/like orchids and primroses are becoming rare。

  但是同学们对于Such as、for example 的把握还是不够准确。我们都知道,后者接句子前者接词语表示举例子。于是就有了下面的写法:

  There is a similar word in many languages, such as in French and Italian。

  这里的such as改为for example为好,因为 "in French and Italian"其实是 "there is a similar word in French and Italian"的简化,所以要用for example来引出例证。再来看几个类似的例子:

  It is possible to combine computer science with other subjects, for example physics。

  二、assume 及claim 使用不够准确

  我们知道, think,assume,claim是议论文中常用引出观点的动词。在实际作文中,同学们往往认为几个词的意思是一样的,完全可以代换,所以拿过来就用。甚至还有同学把consider也拿过来与之混用。我们首先还是从定义来看这几个词的不同:

  Think: to have opinion or belief about sth。

  翻译为 "认为",通常接宾语从句来表达比较确定的观点。

  Assume: to think or accept that sth is true but without having proof of it。

  翻译为 "假设、假定",是否有事实依据是不确定的。

  Claim: to say sth is true although it has not been proved and other people may not believe it。

  翻译为 "声称",用这个词往往意味着不赞同紧跟其后的观点,所以很少用作‘I claim that...

  Scientist are claiming a breakthrough in the fight against cancer, but in fact, ...。

  所以‘It is claimed that'通常翻译为 "有报道称。。。"。和‘it is reported that '的区别在于后者翻译为 "据报道",往往代表着作者赞同报告的内容,

  Consider: to think about sth carefully, especially in order to make a decision

  翻译为 "考虑",一般不用作引出观点,看个例子:

  We are considering buying a new car。

  所以,千万不要在雅思大作文的第一段(观点表达段)就因为用词把握不准而导致对整篇文章的低分印象。
