在雅思口语的评分标准中，烤鸭词汇运用的准确性和灵活性是考官非常care的一个点。

    7分的词汇评分标准是：1，能灵活地运用词汇来谈论多种话题（一词多用）；2，能使用一些不常见的词语或者俗语、谚语之类的表达。

    下面我们来看一下，如何巧用look, get, make拿高分！

Look

Look back on/upon回顾，回首

Meaning: to think about something in your past 

Example: Looking back on my childhood, many silly things happened.

注：与date back to 的区别，两者都有追溯过去的意思，但是look back 偏重于个人情感，主语一般是人，date back 则是偏重于某物在过去某个时间段存在的事实，主语一般是物。

Look on… as… 把…看做…

Meaning: to consider somebody/ something to be somebody/something.

Example: She’s looked on as the leading authority on the subject.

注：类似的表达还有很多，比如说regard…as, consider…as, take…as..等等。同学们在使用类似的表达的时候，可以考虑多变换一下。

Concentrate

Concentrate on 专心致志

Meaning: to spend more time doing one particular thing than others

Example: She gave up German in order to concentrate on her French.

注：类似的表达同学们还可以想到哪一些呢？focus on, fix one’s mind upon, put’s one’s heart into 等等都是可以的哈。

Fancy

Meaning 1: 喜欢，想要 to be attracted to somebody or want something

Example: Do you fancying going out this evening?

Meaning 2: 自我感觉良好 to think that you are very popular and attractive

Example: He started to chat to me and I could tell that he really fancied himself.

Meaning 3: 想象 to believe or image something 

Example: He fancied (that) one day he would sail to another country alone.

注：其实fancy这个词语在英剧里很常见，美剧里倒是很少。

End

end up: to find yourself in a place or situation that you did not intend or expect to be in 最终处于，最终变成

Example: I ended up doing all the work myself.

注：End是一个很灵活的动词，不仅仅在这个词本身，而是它搭配的千变万化，既可以用作动词放到很多idioms里面：end your days, end in tears等等；同时也可以用作名词，比如说，at a loose end, be at your wits’ end, make both ends meet….

Lie

Lie around 散放，闲着不干事

Meaning 1: to be left somewhere in an untidy of careless way

Example: I am kind of a cleaning freak, who never leaves any stuff lying around.

Meaning 2: to spend time doing nothing and being lazy.

Example: Not a single manager would watch his employees lying down while doing nothing.

注: 这里说的lie不是“说谎”，而是表示“平躺”的那个动词，虽然长得一样，但是其实是两个动词，他们的过去式和过去分词都是不一样的。

Lie(平躺) — Lay— lain — lying; 

Lie(说谎) — lied— lied — lying.

Lie with somebody (to do something) 负责

Meaning: to be somebody’s duty or responsibility.

Example: It lies with you to accept or reject this proposal.

注：lie虽然字面表示的是平躺的动作，但是实际上可以延伸出很多意思，比如说表示不负责，不干事的时候不仅可以用上文说的lie around,也可以用lie back等等。看来外国人的思维就是：我一躺下，我就什么都不干了！

Spare

Meaning 1: 花费，给予 （时间/金钱/空间）make something such as time or money available to somebody or for something

Example: I’d love to have a break, but I can’t spare the time right now.

Meaning 2: 使某人免遭麻烦 save somebody from having to go through an unpleasant experience

Example: I could have spared myself an unnecessary trip by phoning in advance.

Meaning 3: 救命，饶命 逃过一劫 not harm/damage. 

Example: During the bombing only one house was spared.

注：spare 也有形容词形式，大家听得最多的恐怕就是spare time,表示“有空”。但是spare 还有一个“新的，未使用的”意思也比较常见，比如说，we’ve got a spare bedroom, if you’d like to stay。

Get

Get into 打开，讨论

Meaning: to open a box, drawer or other container; to discuss something

Example: Let’s get into the reasons why we’re going to protect historic buildings.

注意：这单词虽然简单，但是在口语中出现的频率还是很高的。比较本土的用法还有“享受”的意思，比如说”I really get into the concert!”.

Put

Put off 推迟，延误

Meaning: to postpone something

Example: Let’s put the meeting off until next week.

注意：put off常用的是推迟和延误的意思，但是还有一个差别比较大的意思估计同学们都猜不出来，那就是“招人烦，使别人不喜欢”。比如说“She’s very cleaver but her manner does tend to put people off.

Make

Make up

Meaning 1 : 编造故事 invent a story

Example: I hate it when people make up excuse about being late.

Meaning 2: 重归于好 Become friends again after an argument

Example: We made it up after the game.

Meaning 3: 补偿，弥补 compensate

Example: Her intelligence makes up for her lack of experience.

Meaning 4: 组成，编写  form or compose a thing

Example: We need one more person to make up a team.

Meaning 5: 做决定Decide from a number of possibilities.

Example: It was such a life-changing decision that I couldn’t make up my mind easily.

注：make 是口语中出现频率几乎可以排在前10的一个动词了。用起来很容易陈腔滥调，所以如何懂得使用一些比较偏门的词组和表达是关键，make up 的这些意思中，总有一个是适合你的！

    总结的这批动词虽然说不多，但是其实却十分好用。有几个动词甚至意思跨度相当大，能够用到不同的语境和话题中。希望同学们可以熟练掌握几个哦！
