很多同学在写作的时候，往往想到某个意思，立刻脑子中想到都是例如I think, important, show, because, moreandmore等等这些词汇，这些词汇在英语教学中，我们称他们为第一反应词，所谓第一反应词，很好理解，就是每个人第一时间反应出来的这些表达。那么，如果要写出一篇高质量的文章，除了内容，词的使用能够表现出你的英语能力，我们很多同学的阅读词汇量远远大于写作词汇量，原因很简单，大家背了很多漂亮的单词，但是却从不给他们出镜的机会，而是把这些第一反应词翻来覆去的用，这样的后果就是：第一，写文章时用词的质量一直上不去；第二，一直缺乏对背过的单词的应用以及通过应用的语境理解和辨析。下面，我给大家列举了我们在写作常用的那些第一反应词的替换表，旨在告诉大家，要让自己的语言表达能力书面化，多样化。
