Advanced Workshop

ការជ្រើសរើសស្ទីល ស៊ីចង្វាក់ និងកម្រិតភាសា

Welcome to the C1 Workshop! We will focus on Register, advanced Cohesion, and powerful Stylistic Choices.

សូមស្វាគមន៍មកកាន់ការអនុវត្តកម្រិត C1! ថ្ងៃនេះយើងនឹងរៀនពីការជ្រើសរើសពាក្យឲ្យត្រូវកម្រិត (Register) ការភ្ជាប់អត្ថបទ (Cohesion) និងស្ទីលសរសេរកម្រិតខ្ពស់ ដើម្បីឲ្យសំណេរមើលទៅជាលក្ខណៈអាជីព។

ប្តូរកម្រិតភាសាពីក្រៅផ្លូវការ ទៅជាផ្លូវការ

Replace multi-word verbs (Phrasal Verbs) with single, Latin-based verbs for academic writing.

Informal: The police will look into the issue. arrow_downward Academic: The police will investigate the issue. (ជំនួស phrasal verb "look into" ទៅជាពាក្យផ្លូវការ "investigate"។)

ការភ្ជាប់អត្ថបទកម្រិតខ្ពស់ (This/Such + Noun)

Instead of repeating a whole idea or just using "It", summarize the previous sentence with "This/Such + Noun".

People are using phones more while driving. This dangerous trend leads to accidents. (ជំនួសឲ្យការសរសេរឡើងវិញ យើងប្រើ "This dangerous trend" ដើម្បីសង្ខេបអត្ថន័យប្រយោគមុន រួចភ្ជាប់ទៅប្រយោគថ្មី។)

ការត្រឡប់ប្រយោគដើម្បីសង្កត់ន័យ

For dramatic emphasis in formal writing, place a negative word first and invert the subject/verb (like a question).

Normal: He did not realize his mistake until later. arrow_downward Not until later did he realize his mistake. (នៅពេលយើងផ្តើមដោយពាក្យអវិជ្ជមាន យើងត្រូវត្រឡប់ទម្រង់កិរិយាសព្ទដូចទម្រង់សំនួរ "did he realize"។ វាធ្វើឲ្យសំណេរមានថាមពល។)

warning The Purple Prose Trap

Clarity is the ultimate goal.

(កំហុសទូទៅបំផុតរបស់សិស្ស C1 គឺការព្យាយាមប្រើពាក្យធំៗ និងស្មុគស្មាញហួសហេតុ (Purple Prose) រហូតដល់បាត់បង់អត្ថន័យ។ ការសរសេរល្អ គឺការពន្យល់គំនិតធំដោយប្រើភាសាច្បាស់លាស់។)

The utilization of overly loquacious verbiage is detrimental. close

(Too complex and unnatural.)

Using excessively complex language reduces clarity. check

(Academic, yet clear.)

Teacher, in the IELTS writing exam, do I get extra points for using inversion in every paragraph?

Reply thumb_up 24

Sopheak Pich Teacher 1 hour ago

Hi Panha! Absolutely not! Inversion is a powerful stylistic tool, like a spice in cooking. If you use a little bit (maybe once in your essay), it shows mastery and emphasizes a strong point. If you use it in every paragraph, the writing becomes very unnatural and hard to read. Use it sparingly! school

Is "This/That/These/Those" always enough for cohesion? E.g. "We have pollution. This is bad."

Sopheak Pich Teacher 3 hours ago

Great question, Vireak! At a B1/B2 level, using "This" by itself is okay. But at the C1 level, "This" alone is considered vague reference. To elevate your register, always attach a summary noun to it: "This environmental issue is bad." It reminds the reader exactly what "This" refers to! lightbulb
