托福写作零基础：教大家如何正确使用assume及c
   下面上海新托福培训小编就来为零基础考生具体介绍下该如何在托福写作考试中正确使用assume及claim这两个单词。
    Think: to have opinion or belief about sth.
　　翻译为“认为”，通常接宾语从句来表达比较确定的观点。
　　Assume: to think or accept that sth is true but without having proof of it.
　　翻译为“假设、假定”，是否有事实依据是不确定的。
　　Claim: to say sth is true although it has not been proved and other people may not believe it.
　　翻译为“声称”，用这个词往往意味着不赞同紧跟其后的观点，所以很少用作 ‘I claim that…
　　Scientist are claiming a breakthrough in the fight against cancer, but in fact, ….
　　所以 ‘It is claimed that’ 通常翻译为“有报道称。。。”。和‘it is reported that ’的区别在于后者翻译为“据报道”，往往代表着作者赞同报告的内容，www.xuetf.com
　　Consider: to think about sth carefully, especially in order to make a decision
　　翻译为“考虑”，一般不用作引出观点，看个例子：
　　We are considering buying a new car.
　　所以，提醒您，千万不要在托福作文的第一段(观点表达段)就因为用词把握不准而导致对整篇文章的低分印象。
