我在备考 PTE 期间学到的几个技巧 (2)

PTE 高分写作心得之：Write Essay

其实大作文也不难。我们官网老师会有写作模板给到大家，但我们还可以有更偷懒的做法，就是考试的时候先把考试题目的内容进行一些简单的同义词转换，是可以的。因为PTE大写作遇到的问题，其实都是可以从个人问题和社会问题这两个方面进行展开。如果你考过雅思，那么应该有很深的同义词转换积累，用到PTE的大写作中来，可以说占据优势。我们不妨直接拿一篇文章来练练手：

Cashless society is becoming a reality. More and more people are using credit cards for payment, and less people use cash. How realistic do you think it is and what do you see in its potential benefits or problems?

这个题目文的是讨论无现金社会的好坏，所以无现金肯定是重点，我们可以从哪些地方做同义词转换呢？我们来对比一下：

In recent years, whether cashless society has more advantages than disadvantages has caused numerous controversies and drawn the attention of the public. Some people insist that using credit cards for payment has more pros than cons, and I approve of this viewpoint because of individual and social reasons.

第一段，我们把题目中的benefits or problems做了2次替换。因为刚开头，我没有去改写无现金这件事，而且向我前文提到的，不管啥问题反正肯定是individual and social。

First and foremost, it has been argued that the individual reason is why I think using high-tech devices to purchase products can benefit our lives. Though potentially negative impacts of cashless society must have to be taken into account, I still reckon that using a smartphone or credit cards to pay our bills can make our lives more convenient, which improves the quality of lives. For example, a well-known American scientist once said that it is necessary for us to acknowledge and accept the benefits of cashless society.

第二段，我们把无现金社会替换了。更加的具体化一点点，也很简单吧。

Furthermore, the social reason is another factor that should be taken into account, which in other words, using cutting-edge technologies for payment can fuel the economic development. As far as society is concerned, the ultimate goal of society is to maintain and promote the well-being of human beings, so using credit cards plays an important role in economic growth. For instance, a recent research published in The Economist revealed that more than half of people feel more satisfied and efficient after using credit cards for payment.

第三段，也是一样的，基本上其实写来写去都是这些词，很简单，也很百搭。

In conclusion, I firmly believe that cashless society has more benefits for our lives. To address this issue, individuals and society should make a concerted effort.

怎么样，对比下来，PTE写作是不是简单多了？其实PTE写作来来去去还是那几句话，细心一点，不要出现一些写错单词、写错句子的错误，拿高分是很容易的。不要去炫技能，宁可写一些简单的、你能保证不出错误的句式、词语，也不要搞出一些错词、错语法的句子。基本上就稳拿高分了。
