忘词，是我们都经历过的事件，越是想要表达它的时候，就越是找不到合适词。也许你想说的就在嘴边，但就是忘了怎么拼写了。正在写作文的你，这时候该怎么办呢？

1试用笼统词英语语言中笼统词有have, take 等，笼统词的重要特点在于意义广泛，搭配性强，构成词组后可以替代众多具体动词。在一些具体动词写不出来的时候，用这些笼统词取代，也能收到异曲同工的效果。例如：

►I experienced a terrible hard time.（我经历了一个极其艰苦的时代。）

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。例如：

►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联想有关词汇忘词时，或遇到没学过的词时，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。有两种联想思路。

▌联想同义词

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：

►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.

▌联想反义词

同样，用其反义词来取代某一遗忘了的词也是可行的。请看下面的例子：

►He is stubborn. = He is not tame.

►The knife is blunt. = The knife is not sharp.

►This is expensive. = This is not cheap.

►She is talkative. = She is never quiet.

3试用解释性语句语言的功能在于表达，而表达的方式是多种多样的。当一个词影响到可以沟通。英语当中多功能解释性语句，就可以起到这一作用。请看下面的句子：

►He is a dumb. = He is a person who can not speak.►He refused. = He said “no”。

►I’ve never seen such a stubborn person. = I’ve never seen such a person who never listens to other's advice.

解释性语句能帮助我们巧妙地避开一些大词，难词，又能使意思表达流畅，不失为一聪明之举。

作文应试的要领应该是快捷、清楚、流畅。所以，碰到难词或遗忘词时，运用简单、易记的词汇及表达方式，灵活地作出美妙的文章，最大限度地发挥自己的潜能才是最明智的哦。
