大家现在考雅思的时候有没有发现自己用词太low了呢？今天烤鸭君来一篇关于替换词的干货，把大家最最常用的词汇通通升级。顺便也想来说说，觉得现在我们都在用错误的方式背单词学英语，更可怕的是只顾着刷题连单词都不去记忆。
简单总结一下我们中国考生现在学英语（尤其是单词）的几个错误的地方：
· 忽略积累单词的重要性
一提到背单词就头疼对吧？花了大把的时间去“背”单词，结果阅读仍然看不懂，写作仍然不会用，对吧？首先我们应该澄清一点，就是生词永远都有，背了许多单词结果还看到大量生词你就觉得积累单词没用那就大错特错了。哪怕考试近在眼前，积累单词这项工作仍然要坚持下去。
· 用错误的方式“背”单词
“一个英语单词，对应一个中文解释”，这是大家最常用的记忆单词的方法，枯燥而又错误。举个栗子，这个栗子我以前也举过当笑话：
fit 适合
如果你只是“一个英语单词，对应一个中文解释”式的背单词，就很容易用错，因为fit 的英文解释：be the right size or shape 其中“size or shape”并没有体现在“适合”这个中文词汇里。假如你跟外国人说My ex-boyfriend does not fit me well.，估计外国人会用一种异样的眼神看你。另一个例子是attempt 企图，殊不知这个词有限定条件“指做困难的、不易成功的事”，忽略这样的条件就变成Chinglish。
也就是说，我们最大的错误之处就是忽略“单词的英文释义”，因为只有权威词典里的英文释义才能正确解释单词的意思，你在用的时候才能用对。
· 单纯刷题
之前有同学问烤鸭君这样的问题：
哥呀，我都把剑桥几本书都做完了，还有什么复习资料吗？
勤加练习值得肯定，不过烤鸭君在回复的时候也会问上一个问题：做过的题是不是都明白了，每篇阅读是不是都把里面的生词和地道的表达积累了？
如果你的回答是“没有”，那么这样刷题的效果就不大了。刷题有助手感和语感，但真正有营养的部分在题目里面没有吸收，做完的题就浪费了。
好啦，我们进入干货正题——【雅思7分你必须学会的替换词】
（这里顺便推荐大家一种单词学习方法）
我们以第一个替换词ability为例，介绍一个不错的学习单词方法
skill → ability
step 1. [ə'bɪlɪtɪ] （重复到你看见单词即可发音）
step 2. 在正规的学习用词典上查找英文解释：ability to do something means the fact that somebody/something is able to do something
（英文解释非常非常重要，也正是中国人学习英语所忽略的地方！一个单词对对应一个中文的学习方式，很容易忽略英文单词内涵意义，导致Chinglish）
step 3. 对应的中文意思：能力，才能
step 4. 摘抄原句, 观察单词的使用方法（固定搭配） The system has the ability to run more than one program at the same time.尝试着自己造句 The ability to handle the designated work is really essential for you to start this career.
step 5. 记下更多相关单词和词组 able, ability of expression表达能力
step 6. 把新词写入这样的表格
step 7. 不断复习，在准备口语和写作的时候，可以对照着表格挑选并使用新的单词，渐渐地脱离表格来使用新词。
