小伙伴们好久不见,在这个收获的秋季,你的学术英语水平是否又更上一层楼了呢?听说第一次高大上的学术英语考试就要来临了,你的AWL库积累的怎么样了?
1.What is the AWL(Academic Word List)?
AWL是英语学术文章中高频词的列表,该列表是由新西兰惠灵顿维多利亚大学的Averil Coxhead学者在分析大量学术文章、杂志、报告等之后提出,该列表包含了570个词族,各有10个子表,难度循序渐进,涵盖了艺术、商业、法律、科学等众多领域,可谓是词少又实用,尤其适合各类四六级托福雅思考研英语患者~
2.Why should I learn it?
你以为只有考研和出国的小伙伴才需要学学术词?不不不,只要你热爱英语,那就绝对不能错过它,因为这些词都是你在报纸、杂志、电影、小说里也可以经常看到的。很多同学看到“学术”二字就头疼,但是你看看就知道,AWL还有很多熟面孔呢~
不信,就花个几分钟(据说学霸们都可以在1分钟内搞定),和小C一起看看吧!
