1. 尽量使用词组、习语来代替一些单词以增加文采。如：用make use of替代use，用catch sight of替代see，用pay a visit to替代visit，用go on替代happen，用of importance替代important，用be supposed to替代should，用I come up with a good idea替代I have a good idea等。

　　2. 使用一些很有“洋味”的单词。如：

　　Thank you for sharing the time with us. (用share而不用spend)

　　The way he views the world is very practical. (用view而不用look at)

　　The noise nearly drove me mad. (用drive而不用make)

　　Tom had his leg broken last week. (用have…done而不用broke his leg)

　　Our school is located in the suburb of the city. (用is located而不用lies)(from www.nmet168.com)

　　3. 避免重复使用同一单词或短语。如果前文用了interesting，后文就可用a lot of fun；若前文用了clever，后文就可用smart；若前文说了a good idea后文就可说a lovely idea，等等。再如：用I like reading while my brother enjoys watching TV就比用I like reading while my brother likes watching TV好。这样就可以做到“别开生面”，给评判者以清新感，以避免文章陷入“千人一面”的窘境。
