雅思心得：写作中国学生常犯错误-语言绝对化

会计考友

　　根据能量守恒定律（Law of energy conservation），即“各种能量形式互相转换是有方向和条件限制的，能量相互转换时其量值不变，表明能量不能被创造或消灭”，人们在使用语言描述事物变化时，应尽可能避免语言过于绝对化，尤其是在使用第二语言进行正式的书面表述时，更应该注意该语言中非绝对化表达方式的学习，这样才能尽显文章内容的客观性。
　　这是绝大多数中国考生在面对雅思写作TASK 2时所忽视的，大家可以对比如下两组句子：
　　This tends to occur whenever there is a downturn in commodity prices.
　　This occurs whenever there is a downturn in commodity prices.
　　A child learning a foreign language at primary school causes confusion between their native language and the foreign one.
  z3 q, ]5 Z; G! U5 @2 D) j　　A child learning a foreign language at primary school is likely to cause confusion between their native language and the foreign one.
; Z# K* H2 Q. Y$ b　　为解决该问题，笔者总结了一些表达委婉语气的用语和句式，考生可以尝试使用，如：may, might, would, could, largely, possibly, probably, be likely (unlikely) to, be inclined to, tend to, to a large (some) extent, there is a higher probability/possibility that…等。
