当你在写论文的时候，你通常都会随着文章的内容和框架去选择你所使用的词汇。但是如果要搭配出好的框架和词汇来，这可并不是简单的一件事情。当然你练习的越多，你对文章的框架和词汇的运用也就更会选择，也会更有信心。但在你还没有达到这个水平以前，你可能对如何选择合适写作风格而感到茫然。下面，我们将会推荐你写作的六大秘籍，帮助你提升效率，使你的文章更据有影响力。

法则一：多运用动词和主动语态。

作为文章的编写者，你主要的任务是把你想说的用文字的方式传达给你的读者。为了达到这个目的，你可以多使用动词和主动语态来为你的文章增加生命力。

1. 在文章中把一个主要的名词换成动词

例；Verb to be: the use of leaf blowers before 8 am is a violation of local noise abatement laws.

Action verb: the use of leaf blowers before 8 am violates local noise abatement laws.

2. 用一个动词来替代句子中的其中一个重要的名词或形容词

例；Verb to be: The quarterback’s wretched performance was a disgrace to his team

Action verb: The quarterback’s wretched performance humiliated his team

3. 如果你不知道该如何更改动词，可以重新整理语句形式

例；Verb to be: Jamie was happy to be part of the all-star soccer team.

Action verb: Being a part of the all-star soccer team thrilled Jamie.

以上的例子已经解析了，运用动词可以是句子更具生动性，也更能吸引读者的眼球。

4. 主动语态 Passive Voice:

例；the main idea for my essay was stated as the first sentence in the first paragraph.

Active Voice: I stated the main idea of my essay in the first sentence in the first paragraph.

Passive voice: money for the new recreation building was raised quickly Active voice: the recreation committee quickly raised money for the new building.

法则二：在文章中使用借词。

在文章的写作中，少运用一些general words,反而多增加specific images. 什么是general words和specific images那，例如说; car 就是general words,因为车的种类有很多。 而Benz SUV 就是specific images。 在考试的时候，多使用specific words可以帮助把物体解释的更清楚。读者也会获得更多的信息，使他们对你的文章更方便了解。

下面，让我们通过几个例子来证明；

例１General: Tom got into his car and drove off.

Specific: Tom leaped into his SUV and roared off.

例２General: The writer wrote a three-page critique of the painting in which he said he did not like it.

Specific: In his three-page critique, the art critic squeezed every drop of meaning- and enjoyment- out of the 3-inch by 3-inch pastel.

General words 对人物，地点，和事物的介绍都无法给读者准备的信息，所以为了更清楚的说明，把这些名词都应该换成specific words.

例３General: An old dog came up the street.

Specific: An ancient, gray-muzzled golden retriever wandered up Bluebird Canyon Road.

例４General: My coach illustrates the point about playing fairly.

Specific: My basketball coach, Ms Berry, illustrates the essay- ist’s point about playing fairly.

例５General: At the end of the day, the workmen walked up the snow-covered road.

Specific: At the end of the day, the tired workmen trudged wearily up the snow-covered road.

法则三：多运用动词和主动语态。

大家在写作的时候，有的同学习惯使用一些例如 ugly as sin, pretty as a picture之类的词汇。在这里，建议大家不要使用这类词汇。因为在使用这些词汇的时候，会给读者一种陈词滥调，平淡无味的感觉，更有可能使读者误会你本身的意思。尤其是在SAT写作考试当中使用。

以下列出的词汇，请大家尽量不要在写作中使用;

例１I was shaking in my boots before the interview, but I was happy as a lark when the personnel manager offered me the job.

Improved: I was terrified before the interview, but I was ecstatic when the personnel manager offered me the job.

例２Whether the author really believed what he wrote was the sixty-four dollar question.

Improved: whether the author really believed what he wrote was difficult to determine from the answers he gave the interviewer.
