进入雅思备考阶段后，不知道大家在练习雅思写作的时候有没有发现，有那么一些词，基本上逃脱不了被写在作文中的命运，比如“people”、“advantage”、“result”等。但同时又发现，除了重复用这些词自己好像就没有别的办法，从而无法表现出词汇的多样性...
但词汇多样性又占据了雅思写作1/4的分数!那如果想拿到7分，这个问题就必须要克服了!
People
humans
例句：More work is needed on the interface between humans and machines.
mankind
例句：Travelling into space was a great advance for mankind.
humankind
例句：Advances in science should be used for the benefit of all humankind.
the public
当我们想要谈及社会群众这个概念的时候，就可以用“the public”，比如：
The national parks should be open to the public.
society
除了“the public”，“society”也同样适用描述普通人群，比如：
Children are the most vulnerable members of society.
还有一类人群也是同学们在练习雅思写作时经常要用到的，那就是关于儿童、青少年的表达，而且尤其容易在高频的教育、少年犯罪等话题中出现，所以同义替换的表达要赶紧积累。

teenagers主要是指13-19岁的青少年，比如：

adolescents
adolescent主要是指介于“child”和“adult”之间的年龄，朗文词典定义它是12-18岁中间的人群。用的时候可以这么写：

The youth of today are the pensioners(领退休金的人) of tomorrow.
Old people
middle-aged people
这个是指40-60岁的人群，打个比方：

senior citizens
如果还想描述60以上的人群，就可以用这个词，例如：
The government seems to be moving away from the pension for senior citizens.
