    1、试用笼统词

    在英语语言中笼统词有have, take 等，那么我们所知的笼统词的重要特点在于意义广泛，搭配性强，这就会构成词组后可以替代众多具体动词。虽然在这不能精确表达一个动作，但却能大致表达意思。在这会有一些具体动词写不出来的时候，你可以用这些笼统词取代，在这同时也能收到异曲同工的效果。

    例如：我经历了一个极其艰苦的时代。

    I experienced a terrible hard time.

    这一句中，experience被遗忘时，用have代替，成为：I had a terrible hard time. 其效果及表达的意义决不亚于第一句。这样的例子还很多。如：

    Do you understand my meaning, sir? = Do you take my meaning, sir?

    I will preside over the meeting. = I will take the meeting.

    I will subscribe to the local newspaper. = I will take the local newspaper.

    They occupied the city. = They took the city.

    The boy resembles his father. = The boy takes after his father.

    从以上的例句不难看出，具体词音节较多，使用频率不高，容易遗忘，而笼统词则不然。因此，在作文应试中，笼统词取代具体词，不失为一种应急良策。

    2、联想有关词汇

    当遗忘产生时，或遇到未曾学过的词时，应采取放射性思维，发挥想象力，想出一切与之有关的单词，利用语言的内在联系，多层次，多角度地运用语言。一般情况下，联想可按下列思路进行：1联想同义词;2联想反义词。

    英语语言中众多的同义词在许多情况下是可以通用的。利用这一规律，由于某个单词受阻而影响全篇写作的情况便不会出现。试看下列句子：

    I had a nightmare last night. = I had a bad dream last night.

    Nightmare 使用频率不太高，因此不太好记。而其同义词bad dream 却很容易记。以后者取代前者丝毫不影响原句的意义。再比如：I don‘t understand this word. 也可以说成 I don’t know this word.

    另外：

    He is stupid. = He is foolish. = He is a fool. = He is silly.

    The food is delicious. = The food is tasty. = The food is nice to eat.

    They discontinued the work at five. = They stopped the work at five.

    His temper is nasty. = His temper is terrible. = He has a bad temper.

    英语语言中词与词之间是有联系的，词与词之间语义的“共核”现象即所谓的同义词。丰富的同义词给我们提供了极大的方便。
