1.联想和忘记的词汇相关的词汇。
相信大家在雅思考试的备考过程中都会准备一些同义词和反义词的对比词汇，在忘词的这个时候就是用到这些词的时机了。
英语语言中众多的同义词在许多情况下是可以通用的。利用这一规律，由于某个单词受阻而影响全篇写作的情况便不会出现。试看下列句子：
I had a nightmare last night. = I had a bad dream last night.
Nightmare 不太好记。而其同义词bad dream 却很容易记。以后者取代前者丝毫不影响原句的意义。再比如：I don‘t understand this word. 也可以说成 I don’t know this word.
另外：
He is stupid. = He is foolish. = He is a fool. = He is silly.
The food is delicious. = The food is tasty. = The food is nice to eat.
They discontinued the work at five. = They stopped the work at five.
His temper is nasty. = His temper is terrible. = He has a bad temper.
英语语言中词与词之间是有联系的，词与词之间语义的“共核”现象即所谓的同义词。丰富的同义词给我们提供了极大的方便。
同样，用其反义词来取代某一遗忘了的词也是可行的，请看下面的例子：
He is stubborn. = He is not tame.
The knife is blunt. = The knife is not sharp.
This is expensive. = This is not cheap.
She is talkative. = She is never quiet.
2.试用比较大的和比较笼统的词汇来代替，尤其是动词。
在英语中，比较笼统词有have, take 等，意义广泛，搭配性强，构成词组后可以替代众多具体动词。有时虽然不能精确表达一个动作，却能大致表达意思。在一些具体动词写不出来的时候，用这些笼统词取代，也能收到异曲同工的效果。
例如：我经历了一个极其艰苦的时代。
I experienced a terrible hard time.
这一句中，experience被遗忘时，用have代替，成为：I had a terrible hard time. 其效果及表达的意义决不亚于句。这样的例子还很多。如：
Do you understand my meaning, sir? = Do you take my meaning, sir?
I will preside over the meeting. = I will take the meeting.
I will subscribe to the local newspaper. = I will take the local newspaper.
They occupied the city. = They took the city.
The boy resembles his father. = The boy takes after his father.
从以上的例句不难看出，具体词音节较多，使用频率不高，容易遗忘，而笼统词则不然。因此，在雅思写作中，笼统词取代具体词，不失为一种应急良策。
3. 试用解释性语句
在雅思写作中，大家还可以用一个相对简单的解释性的语句来代替忘记的单词。
请看下面的句子：
He is a dumb. = He is a person who cannot speak.
He refused. = He said “no”。
I’ve never seen such a stubborn person. = I’ve never seen such a person who never listens to other‘s advice.
解释性语句能帮助我们巧妙地避开一些大词，难词，又能使意思表达流畅，不失为一聪明之举。
