上一篇整理了搭配詞,這篇整理 Part 5 很愛考的「長得很像」的字。每組附一句多益風格的例句,括號是答案,先遮住自己選選看。
1. advice(名詞,建議)/ advise(動詞,建議;通知)
Please ___ customers that the store will close early on Friday.(advise)
2. rise(不及物,上升)/ raise(及物,提高)
The company plans to ___ its prices next month.(raise)
陷阱:後面有受詞就是 raise。
3. complement(互補)/ compliment(稱讚)
The new wine list is a perfect ___ to the chef's menu.(complement)
4. ensure(確保)/ insure(投保)
Please ___ that all doors are locked before you leave.(ensure)
5. personal(個人的)/ personnel(全體員工)

6. economic(經濟上的)/ economical(省錢的)

7. considerable(相當大的)/ considerate(體貼的)
The renovation will take a ___ amount of time.(considerable)
8. reliable(可靠的)/ reliant(依賴的)

陷阱:看到後面的 on,就是 reliant on。
9. successful(成功的)/ successive(連續的)

11. comparable(相當的)/ comparative(比較的)

背法建議:一次只背兩三組,把兩個字放在同一張卡上,連例句一起記。隔天、第三天、第七天各遮住括號考自己一次,選錯的那組放回隔天。
大家還有哪幾組一直搞混?留言補充,我再整理下一篇。
