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。
如果你能掌握，你就

考官范文
（后文讲解黑体标注的单词）
As a result of constant media attention, sports professionals in my country have become stars and celebrities, and those at the top are paid huge salaries. Just like movie stars, they live extravagant lifestyles with huge houses and cars.
Many people find their rewards unfair, especially when comparing these super salaries with those of top surgeons or research scientists, or even leading politicians who have the responsibility of governing the country. However, sports salaries are not determined by considering the contribution to society a person makes, or the level of responsibility he or she holds. Instead, they reflect the public popularity of sport in general and the level of public support that successful stars can generate. So the notion of ‘fairness’ is not the issue.
Those who feel that sports stars are justified might argue that the number of professionals with real talent are very few, and the money is a recognition of the skills and dedication a person needs to be successful. Competition is constant and a player is tested every time they perform in their relatively short career. The pressure from the media is intense and there is little privacy out of the spotlight. So all of these factors may justify the huge earnings.
Personally, I think that the amount of money such sports stars is more justified than the huge earnings of mover stars, but at the same time, it indicates that our society places more value on sport than on more essential professionals and achievements.
1. extravagant
1) 奢华的，消费高的

本文的讲解，以例句的方式让学生了解单词的使用场景和搭配。
“下一次我自己使用extravagant, 怎么判定是对的？”
凭感觉！
在你看了足够多例句以后，建立对单词的“感觉”。
如果你不确定正确（其实通常都不正确），就去语料库中搜索搭配。

此刻，你感觉自己看了很多很多the level of的用法，觉得自己已经彻底掌握它了。
但是，如果你真的想学习，想提升英语水平，下次使用的时候，只要它跟的不是上面的名词，都应该去语料库查一下。
我只能帮到这里了。
