一、 縮略詞

英語當中縮略詞使用的頻率很高，如IMP: important, ASAP: as soon as possible。很顯然如果能熟練掌握縮略詞，會對考試大有裨益。

縮略詞的寫法一般為四種方式：

1.拿掉所有元音

MKT: market

MGR: manager

MSG: message

STD: standard

RCV: receive

2.保留前幾個字母

INFO information

INS insurance

EXCH exchange

I owe you IOU

In stead of I/O

3.保留開頭和結尾的發音字母

WK week

RM room

PL people

4.根據發音

R are

THO though

THRU through
