3 CÁCH PARAPHRASE TRONG IELTS WRITING
1. SỬ DỤNG CÂU PHỨC
Việc sử dụng các cấu trúc mới là điều rất cần thiết mỗi khi bạn có các cách diễn đạt giống nhau nhưng lại không muốn bị trùng lặp. Vậy chúng ta có thể tham khảo các cách sau:
WRITING TASK 1:
Writing task 1 có rất nhiều “đất” cho các bạn “diễn”. Với các cách diễn đạt kiểu như tăng lên, giảm đi, giống nhau, khác nhau, đạt cao nhất, dao động,… thì chúng ta có rất nhiều cách để diễn đạt. Mình đi vào vấn đề chính luôn nhé:
- There are more men than women => Women outnumber men. (Dùng mẫu câu có sử dụng từ “outnumber” vừa không bị lặp lại mà vẫn diễn đạt trọn vẹn ý nhiều hơn, hơn nữa, từ “outnumber” là một từ vựng được đánh giá rất tốt)
- The biggest difference is that… => The most noticeable difference/ The disparity is noticeable.
- Thay vì viết 2 câu đơn có ý trái ngược nhau về số liệu thì bạn hãy sử dụng mẫu câu phức “…while…” – mô tả ý trái ngược. Ví dụ: “The figure for high school students who do exercise regularly was just 12%, while the percentage for seniors in universities reached its peak at 70%”.
- Ưu tiên sử dụng các mẫu câu ghép như “The fact that… + to be” sẽ hay hơn là viết một câu đơn.
WRITING TASK 2:
Đối với Writing Task 2, chúng ta nên ưu tiên sử dụng mệnh đề quan hệ để viết các câu ghép thay vì các câu đơn.
Ví dụ, chúng ta nên viết câu “People tend to rely a lot on technical devices, which are much more innovative and convenient than ever before” thay vì “People tend to rely a lot on technical devices. Those are much more innovative and convenient than ever before”.
Nếu đã dùng nhiều dạng mẫu câu chủ động thì chúng ta nên dùng câu bị động.
Ví dụ: với cách diễn đạt trước, chúng ta viết: “To address the problem, we should use public transport” mà nếu muốn sử dụng lại kiểu viết này thì chúng ta nên viết ở dạng bị động.
Nếu cần thiết, chúng ta nên sử dụng những từ đồng nghĩa khác để đa dạng vốn từ => nên viết thành: “To tackle the problem, public transport should be encouraged to use” sẽ hay hơn rất nhiều.
Rất nên sử dụng các liên từ để nối câu nhưng PHẢI ở dạng formal: Nevertheless, However (Tuy nhiên); In addition, Additionally, Besides (Hơn nữa); As a result, Consequently, It leads to…, It results in… (Kết quả là, dẫn tới).
Ưu tiên sử dụng mẫu câu “…while…” để nói về 2 ý trái ngược (Thường là paraphrase lại đề bài trong phần Mở bài hoặc dùng để chuyển ý). Ví dụ: “While it is undeniable that living in large cities brings us a huge number of benefits, its drawbacks cannot be overlooked.”
2. SỬ DỤNG LINH HOẠT CÁC TỪ ĐỒNG NGHĨA
Từ đồng nghĩa là một phần không thể thiếu khi paraphrase và tất nhiên từ đồng nghĩa đem lại hiệu quả rất cao trong bài viết nếu chúng ta biết chọn từ phù hợp.
Sau đây mình sẽ giới thiệu cho các bạn một số từ và cụm từ đồng nghĩa hoặc có thể thay thế được cho nhau phổ biến trong Writing task 1 và Writing task 2 nhé.
WRITING TASK 1:
- Expenditure (n)= Spending (n)
- Noticeable (adj) = Significant (adj)
- Spend (v) = Consume (v)
- Hit its peak = Reach its peak = Reach a record high of
- Receive (v) = Get (v) = Enjoy (v) = Be awarded with (St)
- Health care system = Medical service
- Imply (v) = Suggest = Point out
- Land degradation = Land erosion
- Apparent = Obvious = Clear = Evident
- Tree clearance = Deforestation
- Constitute = Account for = Make up = Take up
- Canned food = Packaged
- Reliable = Trustworthy
- Society = Community
- Citizens = Residents = Inhabitants = Dwellers
- City = Urban area
WRITING TASK 2:
- Principal = Prominent
- Trigger = Provoke
- Increase = Escalate
- Innate = Inborn
- Traffic congestion = Traffic jam
- Effect = Impact
- Difficulty = Challenge
- Hard-working = Diligent = Industrious
- Guidance = Consultancy
- Pollution = Contamination
- Admire = Appreciate
- Improve = Enhance
- Address = Combat = Tackle
- Up-to-date = Innovative
- Big city = Large metropolis
- Advantageous = Beneficial
- Rich = Affluent = Wealthy = Well-off
- Popular = Prevalent
- Negative = Adverse = Unfavorable
- Wonderful = Fantastic = Breath-taking = Spectacular
- Debatable = Controversial
3. KHUYẾN KHÍCH SỬ DỤNG TỪ GHÉP
Những từ ghép có tần suất xuất hiện khá ít trong các bài viết, tuy nhiên nếu các bạn sử dụng được những từ ghép này thì bài viết của bạn sẽ được đánh giá rất cao ở mặt từ vựng vì những từ đó thể hiện trình độ ngữ pháp và cách sử dụng từ vựng “cao thủ” của bạn.
Có 3 kiểu từ ghép khá thông dụng như sau:
- State-owned companies (đuôi –owned: có nghĩa là sở hữu): Các công ty sở hữu bởi nhà nước
- Computer-based tasks (đuôi –based: có nghĩa là nền tảng): Các công việc liên quan đến/ có nền tảng dựa trên máy tính
- Health-related problems (đuôi –related: có nghĩa là liên quan): Các vấn đề liên quan đến sức khỏe.
Như vậy, các bạn đã biết cách ứng dụng Synonyms hay chưa? Hãy thử thực hành với một số bài viết riêng của bạn nhé!

*【拜登的稅收計畫擬將2.5兆美元的企業海外利潤帶回美國】
根據財政部公布的細節，總統拜登的2兆美元經濟計畫中，將利用稅改，在15年間，可帶來大約2.5兆美元的海外收入，從而進行基礎設施、綠色投資及社會福利等領域的八年財政支出。包括將公司稅率從21％提高到28％，對全球利潤徵收嚴格的新最低稅率，並對試圖將利潤轉移到海外的公司進行嚴厲打擊。
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/07/business/economy/biden-tax-plan.html
*【政治焦點】
#日前多起槍擊事件造成18人死亡，槍支立法問題成為拜登政府當務之急。拜登預計在周四宣布其政府將採取的一系列行政行動，以解決槍支暴力問題。
#多名知情人士透露，拜登將命名美國控槍組織Giffords的成員David Chipman擔任煙酒槍炮及爆炸物管理局局長，Chipman在ATF 工作20多年，他曾致力於推動對「幽靈槍」的監管和執法，並希望改革槍支背景調查制度。ATF自2015年以來未有局長人選獲得參議院的批准，目前由代理局長Regina Lombardo負責。
#拜登恢復了對巴勒斯坦人的援助，此舉改變了川普時代的政策。拜登計劃向巴勒斯坦人提供了2.35億美元的援助，將用於該地區的人道主義，經濟和發展工作。
#拜登說，他願意在基礎設施計劃上和共和黨好好協商，但不會容忍“無所作為”。
#全美各地，企業，學校和政界人士都在考慮“疫苗護照”（即針對冠狀病毒的數字疫苗接種證明），以此作為振興經濟並使美國人恢復工作和娛樂的途徑。
但是這項作法引起了人們對法律和道德問題的質疑：企業和學校是否可以要求員工，顧客和學生提供已經接種疫苗的證據？政府是否可以強制接種疫苗，還是阻礙需要證明的機構？
#民主黨議員指控川普和朱利安尼密謀煽動1月6日的暴亂。
#川普政府結束後，前副總統潘斯開始展開一連串行動，計劃在南卡羅來納州發表演講，並成立“推進美國自由”組織，以提升在共和黨樹立自己的形象，或在2024年競逐總統大選。
#法院文件顯示，有445名移民兒童在川普統治期間與父母分居，而今仍在拘留中。

*【Covid-19實時更新】
#隨著各州取消限制和令人擔憂的冠狀病毒變種的傳播，科學家和聯邦衛生官員一直警告說，美國的疫苗接種加快速度，但也可能在美國掀起新一輪的熱潮。密西根州在過去的兩周，新增病例和住院人數增加了一倍以上。中西部包括明尼蘇達州和伊利諾伊州，也報告了新病例和住院人數的顯著增加。在東北地區，紐約和紐澤西州的案件數量也繼續上升。
#夏威夷剛剛成為擴大疫苗資格的第50個州，到4月19日，每位夏威夷成年人都將有資格使用Covid-19疫苗。
#美國疾病預防控制中心表示，現在大多數美國感染是由傳染性病毒變異引起的。
#美國疾病控制與預防中心週二表示，美國近80％的學校工作人員和兒童保育人員已經接受了至少一劑冠狀病毒疫苗。
#接受中國80萬劑疫苗贈禮，尼泊爾重啟接種運動。此前該國的疫苗接種已因劑量匱乏暫停了三周。尼泊爾一直依賴印度的疫苗，但後者在疫情惡化後限制出口。尼泊爾高級衛生官員稱，中國政府要求優先考慮留學生和跨境貿易人員，可能是為了降低感染者進入中國的風險。
#在日本，大阪的官員取消了原定於下週舉行的奧林匹克公開火炬傳遞活動，並宣布由于冠狀病毒病例激增使醫院系統緊張而緊急醫療。要求該縣880萬居民除重要事項外，不要離開住家。
#韓國監管機構最終批准了嬌生疫苗，成為該國批准的第三種疫苗，官員在周三報告了668例新的冠狀病毒病例，這是三個月以來的最高記錄，其中大多數病例發生在首爾和其他主要城市。
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/04/07/world/covid-vaccine-coronavirus-cases
*【英國表示，30歲以下不得施打阿斯特捷利康疫苗】
此前，英國和歐洲監管機構均表示，阿斯特捷利康疫苗與罕見的血栓問題“可能存在關聯”。但歐洲藥管局並未建議歐盟國家限制疫苗使用，而將決定權交由各個國家。對血栓的擔憂已經威脅到歐洲以外地區的接種速度，或將對疫苗推廣造成嚴重打擊。
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/07/world/astrazeneca-blood-clots.html
*【佛洛伊德案開庭進入第八天，吸毒問是題成焦點】
審判開庭進入第二周，圍繞佛洛伊德在事發現場到底說了些什麼，以及這些話是否可能表明他在當天服用了什麼，再次爆發辯論。明尼蘇達州負責調查員警暴力使用情況的高級探員修改了此前的證詞，他在解讀隨身攝像鏡頭拍攝的視頻時曾表示，佛洛伊德帶著手銬大喊“我嗑了太多藥”，但後來修改為“我什麼藥也沒嗑”。
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/07/us/takeaways-day-8-derek-chauvin-trial.html
*【老虎·伍茲車禍事件調查】
洛杉磯縣治安官員表示，伍茲在不安全的路況下超速行駛，導致汽車無法轉向通過彎道；在限速45英里/時的區域，伍茲的駕駛時速超過了80英里/時。他在送醫後右腿接受了多次手術，專家預測恢復可能非常困難。
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/07/sports/golf/tiger-woods-speeding-car-crash.html
*【韓國選舉結果恐使政治格局改變】
韓國在野黨候選人接連拿下首爾、釜山市長。這場地方補選被認為是對文在寅的公投，也是明年總統大選的風向球。國民力量黨候選人吳世勳和朴亨埈分別當選首爾和釜山市長，執政黨共同民主黨遭遇挫敗。分析認為，出於對朝鮮外交困局、公務員炒地醜聞以及疫情限制的失望，許多選民支援反對派並非因為他們的政見，而是為了“對文在寅政府作出評判”。
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/07/world/asia/korea-mayor-election-moon-oh-sehoon.html
*【留住富人：香港推出減稅等優惠政策】
北京鎮壓了香港反對派，扼殺了言論自由，但同時它也在努力吸引這座城市的金融階層，避免他們遷往新加坡等對商業友好的地方。稅收減免和其他優惠措施已開始奏效。
https://cn.nytimes.com/business/20210407/hong-kong-finance-wealthy/
*【無法擺脫的新疆棉：西方與中國之間，國際品牌選哪邊】
這些品牌面臨法律和西方輿論壓力，要求它們將新疆棉從其供應鏈中剔除，但這樣做將激怒中國消費者。不僅如此，完全切斷與新疆棉花的關聯幾乎是不可能任務。
https://cn.nytimes.com/business/20210407/xinjiang-china-cotton-brands/
*【世衛溯源調查報告後，下一步怎麼走？】
這份由WHO和中國聯合出具的報告留下許多未解問題，病毒起源仍模糊不清。報告暗示，未來可能會對血庫進行調查，尋找2019年12月前的病例，並追蹤野生動物養殖場中的潛在來源。但該報告的批評者仍將目光聚焦在武漢病毒所發生洩漏的可能性上，呼籲採取進一步行動詳盡調查。
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/07/health/coronavirus-lab-leak-who.html
*【地方選舉考驗莫迪重塑印度可能性】
莫迪所在的政黨正在西孟加拉邦爭奪首席部長的席位，該地區土著文化根深蒂固，並因其對少數民族的寬容而感到自豪。這場選舉將是對印度教民族主義影響力的一場小考，其結果將揭示，是否有人能阻止莫迪把印度從一個世俗國家重塑為一個印度教國家。
