这篇文章很长。
不是告诉你有哪些写作必备词汇，
而是告诉你单词的用法。
很多同学正在幻想：那就是总结单词的用法嘛，背了就行。
邵教授讲单词，将涉及的核心内容包括：
1. 大量例句
2. 单词相关搭配
3. 易混淆词比较
4. 常见错法
1. 大量例句
要讲解单词的用法，就一定涉及例句。
一旦引入例句，你在本文中需要阅读的内容肯定很多，因为邵教授一定会通过足够数量的正确例句来总结单词用法。
2. 相关搭配
一个单词可能会有：
1) 多种用法和搭配（比如动词搭配不同的介词），
2) 不同用法之间有联系和差异，
这些都会讲到。
3. 易混淆词比较
既然用于雅思/托福写作，学生肯定会纠结——
用这个词，还是用它的近义词？
所以本文在讲解单词的时候，还要对比易混淆词。
4. 常见错法
既然邵教授批改了数以万计的学生英语作文，那肯定知道学生在使用单词的时候容易犯什么错。所以，还会顺便讲解错误的用法。
因此，这篇很长的文章其实只讲5个单词的用法。
这5个单词，是从考官范文中提炼出来的。

As most people spend a major part of their adult life at work, job satisfaction is an important element of individual wellbeing. What factors contribute to job satisfaction? How realistic is the expectation of job satisfaction for all workers?
考官范文
（后文讲解黑体标注的单词）
Nowadays many adults have full-time jobs and the proportion of their lives spent doing such jobs is very high. So feelings about one's job must reflect how an individual feels about his or her life as a whole, and because of this, job satisfaction is indeed very important for the wellbeing of that person.
Employees get job satisfaction in a number of ways. Firstly, a person needs to feel that they are doing valued and valuable work, so positive feedback from superiors is very important in this respect. A sense of fulfillment is also encouraged if a worker feels the job is worth doing because it contributes to the society or the economy as a whole. Secondly, when someone feels they are improving or developing their skills through training opportunities, for example, then there is a sense of progress and purpose that rewards a worker. The sense of belonging to a team or a working community also contributes to job satisfaction because colleagues help each other to enjoy their working lives. Satisfaction is also increased by a sense of responsibility for and loyalty to a team.
Of course not everyone enjoys their work. Hard economic realities mean that many people have little choice in the kind of job they can get. In some cases an employee is working in a job that suits neither their skills nor their personality. Some jobs are repetitive and boring, and labor relations may be poor and lead to resentment and insecurity rather than to job satisfaction.
However, even though it is unlikely that all workers do feel happy in their work, I think it is not unrealistic to promote more job satisfaction in any job. If the factors identified above are implemented, then any job can be improved and more workers can feel greater degrees of job satisfaction.
1. reflect
1) 展示，反映
Her work reflects intelligence.
his tactics reflect his desire for power.
The ACLU says this case and others reflect a pattern of failures at the lockups.
School textbooks were rewritten to reflect the BJP's ultra-nationalist ideology.
Such return assumptions partly reflect the heady years of the 1990s bull market.
看完例句，你会发现reflect的宾语都是事物，而且是抽象名词。
当你使用reflect时，你可以简单地用以上规则判断搭配是否合理。
当然，最标准的做法是——到语料库确认宾语和reflect的搭配是否存在。
reflect可以接宾语从句吗？
搜索语料库，你会发现：
They said the words should reflect how much Jill's family loved and missed her.
Andrew Wilson said this reflected how buyers chose properties.
reflect可以接一切宾语从句吗？
“他的研究表明，这部电影和历史不符。”翻译得到：
His studies reflected that the movie wasn't historically accurate.
这是错误的英语。
搜索语料库，你会发现：
reflected不接that引导的宾语从句。
上句可以改为：
His studies reflected the fact that the movie wasn't historically accurate.（同位语从句）
2) 深思
reflect on one's faults
In the essay, he reflects on his career.
I reflected on the child's future.

看重，珍视

value的宾语可以不是人吗？

以下例句，value都不能换成worth.

4. choice
想要理解好choice，就必须清楚它所指的两种基本的选择：
尚未做出的选择和已经做出的选择。
1) 尚未做出的选择

（虽然还没买，但是决定已做）

choice和介词的搭配。

本文将以上choice的例句分成了4类，读者可能会对个别的例句的分类有疑惑。
其实，只要总体上能够理解以上4种基本分类，就能理解好choice.
不必纠结每个例句的choice为什么这样归类。
It's your choice.的意思，是下面哪一个？
1) 这是你选出来的。
2) 你来做选择。
答案是2)
The choice is yours.和上句语义相同。
5. suit
适合
Even though living in the country suitedmewell, a young boy could still dream.
Specter's views suitedmeperfectly, and that was why I voted for him regularly.
I think he's found a club that suits him and I think he may be here for a while.
学生看完以上3句，便认为自己充分掌握了suit的用法——和汉语一样，就是“适合”。
女孩拒绝了男孩，因为他不适合她。自然就是：
He did not suit her.
然而，这就是典型的中式英语。
更适合，你会用哪个副词？

适合（某场）婚礼

适合（某人的）技能
谈到suit, 你一定会想到fit. 其实，它们差异很大！
1) If clothes fit you, they are the right size, neither too big nor too small.
That dress fits you perfectly.
He was wearing pyjamas which did not fit him.
The pants fit him well and were very comfortable.
2) If clothes make you look attractive, don't say that they 'fit' you. You say that they suit you.
You look great in that dress. It really suits you.
女孩拒绝了男孩，因为他不适合她。
He did not suit her. 是汉语直译，错误的英语表达。
He was not a good match for her. 才是正确的表达。
结语
1) 如果你用查例句的方式查单词，你会发现单词真正的用法。
2) 如果你能像上面那样对自己提问，并自己找例句确定单词的用法，你能掌握单词的用法。
3) 如果你能通过例句和单词的英文语义来区分不同单词，你能在关键时候选对单词。
4) 如果你能在日常写作中怀疑自己所写可能有错，你便能真正一点一点进步。
