高得点を目指すには、豊富な語彙力を正確に使っていることを試験官に
アピールする必要があります。
そこで、Paraphrasing (言い換え）を利用してください。
paraphrasingとは試験官の質問を言い換えて回答する技のことです。
┃ Paraphrasing (言い換え）5つの法則
１． synonyms （同意語、類義語）を使う
２． 単語の全部を変えずに一部を変える
３． 間違いを避ける（自信のない単語は使わない）
４． 単語の形を変える（例 動詞→動名詞）
５． 構文を変える
例えば、”do you like to read” と聞かれたら、”yes, I love to read” と答えるのではなく、”yes, I love reading” のように、動詞の形を変えることで語彙力をアピールできます。”yes, I like to read” のように質問と同じ単語を使うと、試験官に語彙力不足と判定されますので注意してください。
