在GMAT考試的分析寫作(Analytical Writing)中，想拿高分除了文章要立論有據外，使用的詞彙更是決定文章品質的關鍵。以下提供8個GMAT寫作時關鍵的替換詞彙，當考生在下筆時，可以更從容的寫出高水準的語詞，讓文章更有力。

🌼Improve 提高：

Promote: 促進AC之間的貿易promote the trade between A and C; He was promoted to senior manager in this company.

　Advance: our understanding of human genetics has considerably(非常的，可換做vastly) advanced.

　Enhance: the publicity has enhanced his reputation.這次宣傳提高了他的名望

　Reinforce: reinforce the interference of the autority and its ability of macroeconomic control 加強政府的干預和宏觀調控能力

🌼change 改變

　Transform:多指改頭換面，完全改變，不能用於形容slight change。說到人口變化：the increasing population has transformed the landscape and structure of local industry structure.人口劇增改變了小鎮的景色以及當地的工業結構

🌼Emphasize 強調

　Highlight：the report highlight the decline in the numbers of native(可以換作local)

plants and insects.

highlight/emphase the significance/magnitude of… 強調…的重要性

　Stress: He stresses the need for parents to listen to their children.

　Accentuate: the crisis accentuates the gap between rich and poor.

　Address: address the ponderance of manipulating the inosculation between… and… in the right perspective 強調正確處理…關係的重要性

　(highlight and emphasize 的區別：highlight是告訴人們重點，因而能夠讓別人注意，類似於老師勾重點;而emphasize則是使重點清晰，不管別人是否能注意得到。

       而stress則和emphasize  差不多)

🌼Develop培養

　Cultivate: cultivate the ability of … ;培養情操;cultivate a more relaxed and positive way towards life.

　Nurture: 養育，同樣可以指培養人才(talents)the sea nutures ample marine animals.

🌼Break 破壞

　Impair：impair ability; 主要是破壞能力，莫亂用。

　Undermine這個詞也是指的是抽象意義上的破壞，有逐漸削弱之意，重點是循序漸進的過程。Undermine one’s ability/confidence/authority/position/credibility

　Jeopardize: 不能亂用，破壞的東西要上一定的等級才能配上此詞。比如Jeopardize the process of peace.破壞和平進程

　Devastate特指毀滅、蹂躪 the earthquake devastated the whole city.

🌼Keep 保存

　Preserve、Conserve 保護資源用的就是這個詞，不要用protect，protect這個詞用在保護具體的東西。

🌼deal With解決

　Tackle: tackle the problem.

　Resolve: resolve dispute爭論/conflict衝突/problem/issue/crisis危機;來自拉丁語，比較正式。

🌼need 需要

　Require：xxx requires courage and confidence.
