首先，使用固定搭配会为雅思作文加分不少，是一个很好的展示足够词汇量的方法。大体来说，固定搭配是2-3个词组合起来使用，当你使用的时候，就比较像英语母语的人在说话或是写作了。如果你不知道如何使用固定搭配的话，就听起来或者看起来不是那么对劲了。
例如，如果你去购物，‘use money’听起来就特别奇怪，正确的说法是‘spend money’，还有形容有人说话超大声，不能说他‘big voice’而要说‘loud voice’，还有形容一个人傲慢自大，不能用‘large mouth’，而要说‘big mouth’。当你晚上趁着良辰美景，想放松一下，看个电影，要说‘watch a movie’而不是‘look at a movie’。
为什么固定搭配很重要？
在雅思考官评分时，有一项叫Lexical Resource也就是词汇量，你会因为使用了固定搭配而加分，主要针对雅思写作部分。之前写过一篇文章《雅思考试要如何准备？》中提到过不同级别的总成绩，雅思官方是如何来描述的，你，有没有仔细看呢？
我把写作如果得7分针对词汇量一项粘出来，你看一下：
uses a sufficient range of vocabulary to allow some flexibility and precision
uses less common lexical items with some awareness of style and collocation
may produce occasional errors in word choice, spelling and/or word formation
看到了吗？
固定搭配不仅要用在作文中，在雅思口语考试中也非常实用，因为会让你的口语听起来更流畅且自然。如果用的好的话能帮你口语直达7分甚至更高的分数。但是你一定要掌握正确使用它们，用对用好才能锦上添花！
我应该如何学固定搭配呢？
当你在遇到生词，自学新词的时候，你就应该积累这个词能和其他哪些词搭配起来使用。而不是仅学不认识的那一个单词。学习固定搭配最好的方法就是通过听、读、自己造句子。我非常不建议给学生列个词汇表，因为学生必须自己整理生词然后造例句，建一个自己的固定搭配的单词本。当然，还要经常复习，应用到实践当中。
固定搭配的六种结构
Verb + Noun
Verb + Adverb
Adjective + Noun
Adverb + Adjective
Noun + Noun
让我们看一看下面的句子
这里的句子仅仅是给大家举个例子，我不建议你把他们背下来用在写作或者口语考试中。我建议不要去为了词汇量而背一堆词，因为考官们都是经过专业训练的，他们任务之一就是看你是不是在生搬硬套。所以，我强烈建议每个学生自己准备一个单词本，积累自己的固定搭配和例句。
