例句:A regular diet of fast food can damage children’s health. 详解:【相关】is damaging to…对某事物有害
例句:Some people think having school experience at a young age may be damaging to a child’s development.(剑桥例句)
【区分】国内同学们在IELTS作文里经常混淆damage 和destroy 这两个词,其实它们的区别很明确:damage sth. 是常规意义上的破坏,如果及时采取措施就仍然有可能去改变或者减轻这种破坏所带来的影响。而destroy sth. 则强烈地暗示该破坏已经到了beyond repair 的程度,无法再减轻或者修复了。比如说某种情况damage air quality ,它也许会导致PM2.5数值较高。但如果说某种情况destroy air quality,基本就要戴贩毒面具才能出门儿了。又比如你看到报纸上报导一座历史建筑被damaged,那么你可能会在这栋建筑里找到“×××到此一游”之类的不雅留言或者在墙上找到一些cracks(裂缝),但是如果你看到新闻里说一栋历史建筑被destroyed,那么你就只能通过照片区永久地怀念它了(拆毁建筑还有个特定写法叫demolish a building,咱们在Day3里已经学过了)。

safety concerns) 导致焦虑(或者压力/ 误解/ 怨恨/ 气候变化/ 交通事故/ 关于安全的担忧)

更难则是be confronted with fierce competition)
例句:Fierce competition between companies means that consumers are better informed about the environmental impact of the products that they buy.
详解:【相关】…is increasingly competitive. (某一领域)竞争越来越激烈 【对比】depend on co-operation and communication要依靠合作与交流
4. lack practical experience (or social skills / motivation / team spirit / a sense of community
/funding /equal opportunities)缺乏实践经验(或者社会交往技能/ 动力/ 团队精神/ 社区感/ 资助/ 平等的机会),请注意在这些短语里lack 都是作及物动词
例句:Some employees lack the social skills needed to co-operate with their co-workers.(请注意这句话里lack the social skills 后面使用了过去分词短语作为后置定语,修饰social skills) 详解:【注意】lack 作动词时它的后面直接跟宾语,它和宾语之间不要使用任何介词;而当
lack 作名词时它和宾语之间则通常都要使用介词of。
例句:Those who believe teenagers are the happiest people cite their lack of
responsibilities as a significant factor.(剑9例句)

详解:【反义】find sth. stimulating 感到某事物很能激发自己的兴趣 【反义】find sth. motivating 感到某事物能够给人动力 【反义】find sth rewarding 感到某事物很有回报
【语法】这四个短语里sth. 后面的形容词都是作宾补,参见p.80,请记住find sth. +
形容词这个有用的结构。You’ll find it very helpful.
例句:(i) Many people find their rewards unfair, especially when comparing these super
salaries with those of top surgeons or research scientists.(剑桥金句)
(ii)Young adults may end up never returning to their studies or finding it difficult to
readopt to readopt to (重新去适应) an academic environment.(剑桥例句)
