有时候，我们往往会提笔忘字，在紧张的考试中，也难免会遇到忘记英文单词的情况，如果你在托福考试中忘词了，不妨用下万能替换词。
万能的have/take
单词大体可分为两类：笼统词和具体词。像have,take就是笼统词，它们的特点在于意义广泛、搭配性强。虽然它们独自不能精确表达一个动作，但在构成词组以后可替代很多具体词。写作中遇到一些具体词写不出来的时候，用笼统词取代，能收到异曲同工之妙。
eg：John经历了一个极其艰苦的时代。
John experienced a terrible hard time
考试时，若忘记了experience可用笼统词have代替，写成Mike had a terrible hard time同样能收到预期效果。
以下也是同样的效果：
Are you married? = Do you have a wife /husband?
Do you understand my meaning? = Do you take my meaning?
She will subscribe to China Today.= She will take China Today.
同义/反义也好用
遇到没有学过的词或一时想不起的词时，可采用发散性思维，发挥想象力，尽可能想出与之有关的同义词、反义词，利用语言的内在联系、多层次、多角度地运用语言，使单词受阻现象得以解决。
eg：昨晚我做了一场恶梦。
I had a nightmare last night.
因nightmare使用率不高，不易记住。但同义词bad dream易记。上句可换译为：Li Lei had a bad dreamlast night.
以下也是同义的情况：
The food is tasty.= The food is nice toeat.= The food isdelicious.
We discontinued the work at nine.= We stopped the work at nine.
This woman is talkative.= This woman is never quiet.
This car is expensive.= This car is not cheap.
用句子代替词
当一个词或某些信息表达起来有困难时，要充分利用语言本身词汇丰富、句型多变等特点，进行迂回表达。因为任何一种表达形式，只要能达意便可接受。
eg：1.我从未见到过这样顽固的人。
I've never seen such a stubborn person.
= I've never seen such aperson who never listens to other's advice.
以下也是同义的情况：
如果我们想得到文凭，我们必须首先通过考试。
If we want to obtain a diploma，we must first pass the exams.= If we want toget a graduation paper，we must first pass the exams.
工厂里的烟囱(chimney)拔地而起。
High chimneys have appeared in the factories.= The factories arefull of high chimneys.= A lot of high chimneys can be seen in the factories.
中午我们吃了野餐。
At noon we had a picnic.
= At noon we had our lunch in the openair.
这种替换还有很多方法，考生们可以运用自己平时的积累，随机应变，融汇贯通，切忌将不确定拼写是否准确的单词写上去。
