托福独立写作题目预测及写作思路
2014年托福独立写作题目预测及写作思路2014年托福独立写作题目预测及写作思路(1级重点17道)20111209NADo you agree or disagree with the following statement:Your job has more effect on your happiness than your social life do es.1.工作对人的幸福感影响更大。
1) 人是否幸福和经济状况有关。
而对大多数人来说,工作是经济来源。
一般来说,当人没有经济上的忧虑的时候,人就会比较幸福。
2) 幸福还意味着强烈的成就感。
一般来说,工作比社交生活更容易带来成就感或者挫败感。
当一个人工作做得好,得到同事和老板认可的时候,他会觉得很幸福,因为觉得自己有用。
而当一个人工作做不好,被批评的时候,就会不开心。
3) 工作占据一个人大部分的时间和精力。
当你享受工作的时候,你的大部分时间都会很开心。
而当你做一份自己讨厌的工作时,你一天都不会开心。
20121012NADo you agree or disagree with the following statement? The rule that the whole society today expect young people to follow are too stri ct.2. 这个社会的规则是有用的。
没有太严格。
(2014年3月2日已考,浏览下即可)1) 家庭会有各种规矩。
比如不要晚归;要存钱;要有礼貌等等。
这样能减少孩子的危险;让孩子过更稳定的生活;让家庭更和睦。
2) 学校和公司也会有很多规矩。
这些规矩都是有必要的。
比如学校会规定孩子们穿校服,原因是这样可以避免攀比;公司会规定员工穿工作服,原因之一是激发团队精神。
3) 社会上也有法律规定年轻人的行为。
比如规定合法的饮酒年龄和驾车年龄。
这主要是考虑到年轻人自己的安全和对他人的安全。
托福写作告别不知如何下手
官方网站: 托福写作告别不知如何下手任何作文其实都是一样的但是很显然,美国没什么武侠小说,即使有,我们也没那么多时间。
因此,如果我们跳出原来这个圈子的话,再往上蹦一点,就会发现,其实我们读小说的时候,掌握的就是文字的表达方法。
因此,只要我们用某种方法学到了文字的表达方法,就可以写作文了。
如果再说的更本质一点的话,其实就是完成了对文字的记忆和运用的过程。
很显然,记忆是第一步,运用是第二步。
到这里,问题就变成了,怎么记忆。
其实有一个很好的办法,就是“对比式翻译”!所谓的对比式翻译,其实就是找一篇英文作文,将其翻译成中文,然后再按照自己的中文译文,将其翻译成英文,然后再将自己翻译的版本与原文的版本进行比较,不也就知道了自己想表达的,在地道的英文里该怎么说了么。
当然,很多考友马上追问,那要是我记住了他原文的表达方法,该怎么办?无老师会幽怨的看你一眼,说:这不更好么。
因为我们这样翻译作文的目的,其实就是让你通过这样的比较的方式去记住正确的英文是怎么表达的。
当然,当然,各位考友最关心的还是操作的细节。
第一:将一整篇优秀作文翻译成中文,至于这些作文去哪里找,那很简单,其实现在市面上绝大多数的作文书都是有范文的,虽然质量大多不高,但是23、24分也总该是有的。
将这些作文首先整篇翻译成中文。
这里有一个细节是,建议中文翻译稿和原文在同一个文件里,就类似于如下这种效果。
I totally fall in love with No teacher.There will never be another you.我爱死无老师了。
在这个世界上,你是独一无二的。
第二:打开office2007或者office2010,将英文原文与中文译本粘贴进去。
第三:挡住英文原文,只看你自己的中文译文,将中文都翻译成英文。
第四:露出原来优秀的英文版本,用软件中的“批注”功能,将你自己的英文作文一句一句的按照英文原文,进行批注。
但是请注意,这一切还没有结束,如果没有第五步和第六步,前面的这一切都会显得那么多余!第五:仔细对比自己的英文版作文与英文范例作文的差别,尤其是注意你想表达的逻辑,在英文原文里是怎么表达的。

(1)首段写法
首末段写法
1 首段 首段是阅卷人重点关注的部分之一。独立作文的引言部分指文章的首段,一个好的引言段落完成以下的几项任务:
1 引起读者的兴趣
2 告诉读者本文总的话题 3 告诉读者本文的主题 为了在考试中获得高分,首先,文章要使用一些能吸引读者注意力的手段,其次,要交代关于本文话题的一些背景信
阅卷者一开始就觉得文章过于老套与平淡,很难拿到高分。要求学生在首段就要将阅卷人的注意力抓住。在英语中,
这种方法被形象称为“ hook”,主要有五种:
1 漏斗鱼钩( funnel hook )
2 问题鱼钩( question hook ) 3 驳斥鱼钩( refutation hook ) 4 叙事鱼钩( dramatic hook )

【写作提分】打造托福写作黄金首段内容无论是任何一篇作文,好的开头都是成功的一半。
在托福写作的过程中也是相同,很多学生有了思路,却是迟迟不敢动笔,原因就在于犹豫不知如何写好文章的开头部分。
既然要准备充足,方方面面的工作都要细究,今天要细究的内容是开头部分,我们将通过一条实例给大家讲一下首段的写作思路和段落结构。
经过一段时间的备考,很多同学对于独立写作题目涉及的话题应该是比较熟悉了,在进行首段结构讲解之前,希望大家思考这样一个问题:独立写作中所涉及的这些话题,为什么会被ETS考官选中,放在一个全球性的语言考试中呢?大家可以再回顾一下独立写作的一些题目,他们其实都有一个共同的性质,那就是它所涉及的话题和内容,都是大家熟知的,并且会引起人们的讨论的话题,也就是考生们“普遍知晓”,并能“引起讨论”。
因此我们得出托福独立写作题目的两个特点:一是具有“普遍性”,二是具有“可讨论性”。
所谓“普遍性”,就是题目涉及的内容大家都熟知,例如,曾经有这样一个题目:A/D:The telephone has greater effects onpeople than television.题目当中的television和telephone都是大家熟知的事物,起码对于所有托福考生来说,大家都肯定是再熟悉不过的东西了,所以这样的事物出现在题目中,是具有公平性的;所谓“可讨论性”,就是指题目所涉及的话题有可讨论的价值,如同辩论赛的论题一样,它是可以让正反双方展开讨论的,他的观点是辩证的。
根据这两个特点,我们总结了一种开头段的结构,这个结构有三部分组成:第一部分——体现普遍性;第二部分——体现可讨论性;第三部分——得出立场或者文章打算;这里的第三部分根据大家文章行文思路的不同而进行不同的段落收尾就可以了,下面我们根据这个结构理论来进行一个题目的讲解:2012.08.25=2009.10.07NADo you agree or disagree with the following statement? To achieve successfuldevelopment of a country,a government should spend more money on youngchildren’s education(5-10) rather than on universities.同意/不同意:为了一个国家的发展,政府应当花更多的钱在儿童教育上,而不是大学教育上。
托福作文开头的两种写作方法
托福作文开头的两种写作方法托福写作,托福写作开头。
托福作文的开头自然是有至关重要的作用!小马网校的老师整理了托福作文开头的两种写作方法,帮助考生写作靓丽的开头!托福作文开头的两种写作方法。
接下来我们就要进入这个开头段写作方法的讲解。
一、托福独立写作议论文的开头很重要!文章构成我觉得有必要说一下,因为其实就是这个独立写作,之前不是说议论文,议论文的话,有一个通用的一个范式,大家不要追求把文章写的太玄妙,因为不是好的议论文该有的特点,以后大家写作文的时候,都按照这个结构来写,开头段必须有,结尾段也必须有,中间是主体段,主体段写两到三段都可以,后面对应的功能也是规定好的。
开头段就是要引入话题,表明观点,有的同学写开头段的时候没有表明观点,这个是不可以的,开头段必须表明自己的观点,开头段的作用就是引入话题表明观点。
然后结尾段就是概括要点,重审观点,最后再说一下我同意还是不同意,然后把整片文章再稍微归纳一下,中间主体段就是展开论证。
开头段的确是非常重要,就是你这篇文章给人的firstimpression.那整个文章是写在了四段式五段式都可以,加上开拓段结尾段,四段式五段式都可以,也就是说主体段两段三段都可以,我们下面来讲这个开头段的写作。
二、托福独立写作开头的两种写作方法开头段今天给大家介绍两种写作方法,一种比较好用,操作性比较强,比较简单,然后可能技术含量会稍微小一点,另外一种可能会稍微难点,第一种叫观点对比法,还有一种是背景法。
分别来看一下怎么写。
观点对立法很简单,顾名思义就是把不同任的观点列出来,简单的讲一下,再说自己的观点,就是有的人觉得怎么样,另一些人认为怎么样,在我看来怎么怎么样,非常简单的结构。
我们看一下这个例题还有我给出的开头段的例子。
Intwentyyears,printedbookswillnolongerbeinexistence.这是写作营我们前两天练过一道题,20年后纸质书将不复存在,这个题也是属于我们的绝对词题型里面一个极端的一个nolonger,然后我们看一下这样的一道题,关联对比法,开头段怎么写。
托福独立写作备考攻略
托福独立写作攻略托福考试独立写作攻略!为了方便考生在考后对于托福写作有一个清楚的了解,时代焦点名师为考生整理出了托福独立写作的要点,考生可以参考。
A. 审题审题是托福独立写作的第一步也是最为关键的一步。
审题核心是在理解题意的基础上抓住题目中的三个关键点:绝对词、比较词和限定词。
1. 绝对词绝对词顾名思义是表达绝对概念的词,常见的有:only, always, any, anything, best等。
绝对的概念是非常难以证明的,因为需要证明绝对范围内的每一种情况都适用。
同时也是最容易反驳的,因为只需要找到一个突破口就可以推翻。
所以在审题过程中找到绝对词可以为我们提供一个基本的同意或者不同意的思路,以及论证的突破口。
例:Always telling the truth is the most important consideration in any relationship between people.这个句子中包含Always, most important和Any三个绝对词。
通过这三个我们很容易找到反驳的论点:1.某些情况下我们不应该说真话2.说真话不是最重要的3.在一些特定的关系中我们不应该说真话这仅仅是通过绝对词找到的反驳点,针对题目的反驳还要结合整个句子的意思。
2. 比较词比较级属于比较词的范围。
比较词为我们圈定了论点的选择方向。
比如A比B好,那么论点选取就一定是A较于B优势的地方,突出比这个字。
例:In order to succeed, we should be more like others than be different from others.3. 限定词限定词是题目中对讨论的范围进行限定的部分。
由于句子中可能会出现较多的限定内容,导致同学们在审题过程中漏掉一些不明显的限定词,尤其是目的类限定词。
例:It is better for children to choose jobs that are similar to their parents' jobs than to choose jobs that are very different from their parents' jobs.这个题目中的定语从句吸引了找限定词的目光,导致其中一个最关键的限制词常常被忽略:for children. 目的类限定词,讨论的目的是对孩子好,许多同学会写对家庭或者社会的好处,都属于离题的论点。
自成一派的托福独立写作三步曲
托福独立写作的备考经验有很多,而且大部分都是一个派系:独立写作的备考重点在于整合一切托福写作资源中的精华,形成自己的模板;积累一些托福写作素材,在具体话题下将模板填充。
前程百利小编为考生带来一种自成一派的托福独立写作方法--托福独立写作三步曲。
和以前的备考经验有异曲同工之妙,希望可以对大家有所帮助。
第一步:思路的确定--托福独立写作,让自己的论点醒目在托福独立写作中,面对一个话题,首先我们要解决的是我们写作的大思路,也就是我们的论点。
比如如果让你写读大学有没有用,我们首先要表明自己的态度,以我认为读大学有用为例。
其次,则是分论点,读大学为什么有用,比如,第一我们通过大学的学习可以学习专业知识,掌握一项技能;第二,读大学可以从周围很多优秀的同学、老师那里学习到不同的生活、处事态度。
第三,大学除了专业知识,更多的是一种价值观的形成。
这就是第一步。
第二步:观点的阐述—托福独立写作的内容填充,让表达更丰富。
在表明自己的观点之后,要做的就是阐述观点的过程,这个过程和举例来说明,展示论据的过程是不一样的,大家要注意。
观点的阐述就是对自己的论点进行进一步的解释扩充,可以采取的方式有直接论述、反面论述、借助名人名言阐述等等。
比如上面提到的价值观形成这一个分论点,考生可以先说明价值观对人生态度、人生选择的重要性,当然,可以同时借助一些相关的名人名言进行论点的补充。
第三步:论据的展开—托福独立写作的事实论证,让逻辑更完整。
在将论点和论点的阐释部分写好之后,字数大约会在150-200词左右,接下来就是用“事实”说话,这里的事实可以是真实发生的,也可以是虚构的,目的在于和自己的论点相契合,能够“自说自话”。
考生在托福独立写作中的论点展开这个得分点上要给予足够重视。
以上就是前程百利小编为考生带来的托福独立写作方法--托福独立写作三步曲。
这种写作方式的好处在于可以保证自己的写作过程清晰,并能很好地避免无话可说。
预祝大家托福考试取得好成绩!。
托福写作技巧:满分作文的练成法
托福写作技巧:满分作文的练成法其实新托福考试作文部分的判断标准,既能够被我们称为多元化,也能够被我们称为单一化。
说多元化,是因为判断标准的细化,也就是要求我们能够清楚准确的表达自己的含义,并且逻辑清晰,用词准确。
当我们的作文达到21分的时候,其实句子里面严重的错误已经很少了,比如说一个句子缺少谓语,没有主语的情况已经很少了。
最多也就是写写stop smoking这样的Chinglish。
简单来说,很硬性的语病已经不多了,不过这个时候,是最令人茫然的时候,因为这个时候好像我们的已经达到了自己的极限,自己能做的全都已经做了,好像一下失去了前进的方向,更是因为作文是主观题,我们身边总是缺少一个判断标准。
对于托福作文,一个很关键性的要求就是要用词准确,行文流畅。
我们以前往往总是会陷入一个误区,就是要用大词,要写一些句式磅礴的句子。
之所以这样就是因为现在中国95%以上的作文教师,尤其是托福作文教师对于什么样的作文才是满分作文缺乏一个概念,虽然很多人能考出高分作文,但是他们很难做出一个指向性,就像是他们杀鸡用牛刀,然后他们就认为杀鸡只能用牛刀,是一个道理。
他们不知道,其实杀鸡的时候,只用一把菜刀就能够了,是一个道理。
所以,这就是为什么现在很多国内的初中经常用博士来当老师,但是这些人一上课就发现,学生根本不喜欢听他在说什么,甚至这些教师还经常被学生赶走,就是这个道理。
我们来看一些真实的例子。
Nevertheless, it would not work either if everybody just keep to themselves without communicating. It is alsoessential for roommates to share their experiences with one another and thus get close in their relationship. In this case, a good sense of humor can be a such a valuable qualityas a single joke may break the silence and open up a nice conversation.从这段文字里我们就会发现,本段几乎没有什么我们以前很多老师推崇的长难句,复杂句,整段内容,几乎都是由简单句组成的。

托福写作第一段写作技巧一般来说,托福写作第一段的写作可分为两大步骤:第一步就是用简洁明了的句子对原题目的意思进行同义替换第二步是提出自己的观点。
这两大步骤细化起来可以概括为四句话:第一句,采用同义替换的方式对原题目的意思进行更改,当然是“形变神不变”第二句,对题目的意思进行解释第三句,提出自己的观点第四句,概括自己所提出观点的理由,引起下文。
实例讲解托福写作考试中常用的话题新托福写作分为综合写作和独立写作,今天小编就为各位考生带来这两部分的写作话题。
综合写作——动物类话题较多综合写作的出题规律往往遵循着阅读材料引出话题与画出骨架,通常每段首句传输主要观点,听力材料依据阅读材料的叙述顺序进行一一驳论,提供反驳阅读观点的细节事实型数据。
综合写作考核的主题可谓是包罗万象,涵盖教育、某些地方的风土人情、动植物、能源资源、锻炼方式、人物(分为单个人或一群人)、生活设施、决策、事物的属性。
通过对综合写作真题的仔细分析得知其集中考核点为动物话题。
该话题考核的侧重点可分为:某动物死亡的原因、某动物某一部分所具备的功能或某动物创造的某物所持有的优缺点、某动物与环境的关系及某几种动物间存在的差异。
举例Summarize the main points made in the lecture you just heard; explaining how they cast doubt on points made in the reading.素材:该题的阅读材料解释了斑马身上的条纹如何保护斑马的三个理由,而听力材料对三个理由进行了依次的反驳。
托福写作第一课
更糟糕的是很容易打错单词,犯低级 错误。
• 由于考场中每个人考试进度不一样,可能你在开始看综合写作的 阅读,听听力的时候,同考场的其他人还在答口语题,这个时候 心态很容易崩。
• 建议平时可以在稍微有点吵的环境下练习适应一下,这样在考场 上遇到这种情况不会慌张,心态会平静一些,能发挥地更好。
that...
• 共十三个要点。 • 每一句话都有自己的功能。
• 第1点:阅读中说了XXX。但是听力中说的是XXX。 • 第2点:阅读中的第1个论据 • 第3点:听力中的第1个论据 • 第4点:听力中的第一个论据的补充 • 第5点:打点句(点明这是第一个不同点) • 第6点:阅读中的第2个论据 • 第7点:听力中的第2个论据 • 第8点:听力中的第2个论据的补充 • 第9点:打点句(点明这是第2个不同点) • 第10点:阅读中的第3个论据 • 第11点:听力中的第3个论据 • 第12点:听力中的第3个论据的补充 • 第13点:打点句(点明这是第3个不同点)
托福写作是不太需要华丽词藻的,相反,接地气地把故事写清楚,不太 有语法错误,10岁的美国小孩能看懂的文章,就是一篇好的托福作文。
• 针对独立写作,在备考的时候建议自己写一些比较通用的万能素 材,可以用在不同的题目里。
• 比如,一个“和同学合作一起完成一个final project”的素材,可以 用在“你觉得团队合作好还是个体行动好”,“结果重要还是过程重 要”等题目里,也可以用在口语的友谊类/效率类题目里。
• ▲写的越具体,提到的细节和正确信息越多,分数越高
• ▲综合写作很高权重是机器评分,一定要避免拼写错误和低级语 法错误(第三人称单数、过去式ed等等),写完之后务必回头仔 细检查。

Besides, it also adds to cleaners' difficulty of collecting rubbish or even threatens their life when they're collecting rubbish.All in all, this kind of phenomenon must be prevented.

This well-made film provides foreign audiences with a fresh way of better knowing China’s past and present.Documentaries about China, produced either in China or in other countries, are becoming increasingly popular among foreigners. For one thing, the overall development over the past decades has been so striking that they feel eager to familiarize themselves with what is going on in China.For another, China enjoys a long history and rich culture. It has always been an attraction for those who are keen on anything that is Chinese. These documentaries present a splendid picture of China in front of their audiences-it history, landscape, art, food, or even traditional Chinese medicine.Because of these films, some foreigners have begun to think of coming to China. In this way, they can form a true picture of China themselves.五【参考范文】My WeekendLast weekend,we took part in a picking activity. We drove from the school, and the farm was about 2 kilometers away from our school. When we arrived at the farm, there are all kinds of animals, green fresh vegetables and fruit trees in the farm. We were divided into two groups. One group was responsible for picking fruits, the other packed up the fruits. Time flying quickly, the activity was over. But it was a meaningful day, when we learn a lot form it. Through this activity, we know how hard the farmers are and how precious the food is. We should treasure the food planted by the farmers.六【参考范文】The person I respectWe have a lot of respectable people around us. They may be our teachers, parents or one of our elders. As for me, my father is the person I respect most. My father is a teacher who loves his work and his students very much. He works very hard every day but he will also spare some time to accompany me and share many funny things with me about his work.When I come across the problems of learning in my study, my father will listen to me patiently and encourage me to overcome the difficulties bravely. He achieved a lot in his work, respected by his students. So, in my mind my father is the person I respect most and I love him deeply.七【参考范文】Dear Peter,I am exceedingly delighted to hear from you. You asked me in your last letter about the physical exercise in our school and the following information may give you a rough sketch.To begin with, a fabulous new stadium has been built up, which has become the new landmark in our school. Moreover, with the stadium set up, a wide range of sports events are able to be held, of which ping-pong, football as well as running competitions enjoy great popularity.

托福独立写作技巧之因果法朗阁海外考试研究中心黄蓉经常有学生抱怨说,独立写作很少能找到比较好的范文,去看美国本土的杂志又觉得文体和词句相对托福来说太难了,也不知道美国本土学生遇到托福这样的essay会如何写。
其实聪明的学生往往会发现,真正美国人要求的300字以上的独立写作文章往往可以参考综合写作的阅读和听力文章的结构及论证方法,而不用舍近求远。
以下,朗阁海外考试研究中心的老师将给大家分析一下如何从综合作文中提取老外要求的思维逻辑。
在这里为考生带来一种论证方法——因果法。
因果法用于topic sentence和中间的supporting details都可以,首先我们来看一看综合作文中是如何运用的。
一、对于topic sentence1.TPO 第一篇topic sentence:The shortened workweek would increase company profits because employees would feel more rested and alert, and as a result, they would make fewer costly errors in their work. (缩短的周工作日可以提高公司的利润,因为员工可以感觉到更多的休整并且机警了,结果就是他们工作上犯错率减少了。
)For the country as a whole, one of the primary benefits of offering this option to employees is that it would reduce unemployment rates. (对于整个国家来说,因为可以减少失业率,所以缩短周工作日是个好事。
)分析:这是一篇TPO中的两个分topic sentence, 不难看出都用了一个因果逻辑,那为什么写topic sentence要用因果法呢?我们再来回顾一下topic sentence的要求:每个分topic sentence都是要求能够论证总的topic sentence的,比如说:总论点是赞同广告的好大于坏,分论点是广告的好处之一是通过能够给消费者提供信息,从而能够帮助消费者购买到合适的产品,那么为了能证明是好处,就一定会写结果带来什么好处,因此因果法在写分topic sentence的时候会大量使用。

并提供证据。
D.7分必须有复杂句子构造(并列句、复合句、非谓语动词形式);用词面宽一点,尽量不要屡次重复。
第一篇用3个复杂构造,第二篇用57,个复杂构造。
针对十个问题的考虑:1.情感分段和逻辑分段首先晾出观点,罩住一个自然段,2.文章中心思想句是读者体会(中文)还是作者交代(英文)第一段就讲3.引言段(开始第一段)是开门见山(英文)还是层层剥开(中文)议论文不能够太长,第一段只能35句话4.段落主题句有(英文)没有(中文)不要把每个主题句分散在不同处,在第一句写5.线性段落(英文)还是螺旋性段落(中文)讲出来为什么这样讲6.人证(中文)与法证(英文)强调事实、数据、普通人事件、该领域专家7.一般详细(英文)还是曲折前进(中文)8.段内连贯:过渡词语(英语)还是词义重复(中文)英语:形式语言中文:意合语言for,obviously,turnout,asaresult,and,intheend英语靠过渡词的衔接、词汇的纽带、语法的照应9.段落之间的连贯:形和义10.结尾部分是概括(英文)还是训导(中文)托福写作政府类话题词汇政府政策类背景的独立写作是一直困惑同学们的大难题,首先,没背诵过背景词汇;其次,不能高屋建瓴,想不到站在政府的高度考虑问题。
托福写作:定义法三步快速解决写作开头难
托福写作:定义法三步快速解决写作开头难很多同学,特别是刚刚接触托福的同学,对独立写作开头部分写法感到很头疼。
今天给大家带来了托福写作:“定义法”三步快速解决写作开头难,希望能够帮助到大家,下面就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。
托福写作:“定义法”三步快速解决写作开头难对于开头部分的构思,很多同学首先会想到模版。
模版会提供现成的思路甚至套句,我们直接将自己的观点带入即可。
比如:模版开头一when it comes to the topic that…, opinions of the public are of great variety. Admittedly, some people would claim that….. However, I still insist that… My reasons will be listed as follows.又比如在涉及到A和B两个对象的影响类的题目里,常见模版开头二:Nowadays, the influence of A on B is a matter for debate for a long time. s ome people claim that… However, I disagree with them. In my viewpoint, … and the following is my reasons.模版可以用,但是不建议同学们拿到题目就直接带入模版,一来语言会显得呆板,二来托福官方对模版的态度为“不扣分,不加分”,因此模版对于想要高分的同学学来说并没有太大优势。
所以还是希望同学们看到话题之后可以进行一定独立思考。
今天我们一起看下常见的开头破冰法之一:定义法引入。
所谓“定义法”,就是下定义,对题目中的某些名词或概念进行解释,比如题目所涉及的success, responsibility, independence,social skills,part-time jobs等,我们可以直接解释这些概念是什么,或者大家对这些事物的看法等,还有可能涉及到重要性或者其影响等词,比如importance, benefits, advantageous,exert positive/negative influence on,一般一句话带过即可。
托福写作之三招搞定完美开篇
托福写作之三招搞定完美开篇托福写作如何三招搞定完善开篇?今日我给大家带来了托福写作之三招搞定完善开篇,盼望能够关心到大家,下面我就和大家共享,来观赏一下吧。
托福写作之三招搞定完善开篇对于托福写作来讲,开篇是“门面”、是“精华”、是吸引阅卷人的关键所在。
因此,如何撰写托福作文开头,是同学们在备战托福的过程中肯定要考虑的问题!不过,诸位同学也用不着太过担忧啦!接下来将与各位共享三个新托福写作开篇书写方法:1). 追根溯源法即从托福写作题目给出的话题中找出这个现象产生的缘由来扩展背景句。
这种方法适合大多数的话题,考生要尽量在考前做托福作文练习,这样在考试就可以得心应手了。
请看下面的例子:There are social, medical and technical problems associated with the use of mobile phones. What forms do they take? Do you agree that the problems outweigh the benefits of mobile phones?这个题目中给出的话题是mobile phone,所以考生可以从它产生的缘由来考虑,就是科技的富强,而科技的富强,手机的广泛使用是在20世纪末,这样背景句就有内容可写了。
当然要通过相应的句型来写了。
如… (time) witnessed …这个背景句就可以写成:The late 20th century witnessed the boom of science and technology, which gave rise to a series of technological innovations, including the mobile phone.再看一例:Nowadays, some universities offer students skills that assist them to find employment, but some people believe that the main function of a university should be to provide students with access to knowledge for its sake. What is your opinion?这题要求大家争论高校是供应职业技能还是传授学问。
五步搞定托福独立写作首段
五步搞定托福独立写作首段作者:王君来源:《新东方英语》2015年第08期托福独立写作作为议论性的文章一般要具备首段、主体段和结尾段这样的基本结构。
从考生在考场上的实战情况来看,在写首段时,能不能在考场限时的紧张状态下快速启动写作,自信、流畅地表达出首段的内容,这将影响到考生写作的信心和对进度的把控。
此外,从对评卷人的影响角度来看,首段在评卷人评分时起到先入为主的作用,对分数的影响很大,不可忽视,毕竟首段的内容和语言质量都将决定评卷人对考生的第一印象和判断。
因此,考生一定要重视首段的写作。
《新托福考试官方指南》(第三版)针对写作部分首尾段的写作给出了如下提示:“Do not …memorize‟ long introductory and concluding paragraphs just to add words to your essay. Raters will not look favorably on wordy introductory and concluding paragraphs such as the following:…The importa nce of the issue raised by the posed statement, namely creating a new holiday for people, cannot be underestimated as it concerns the very fabric of society. As it stands, the issue of creating a new holiday raises profound implications for the future. However, although the subject matter in general cannot be dismissed lightheartedly, the perspective of the issue as presented by the statement raises certain qualms regarding practical application.‟”评卷人引用的这个首段表述虽然词汇和句式结构很复杂,但是内容非常空洞、冗余,评卷人不会接受这样的首段写法。

Step 4
Taking a gap year before further education is a wellestablished tradition in many European countries. Still, people divide on the effects of this practice. I personally agree that high schools graduates should use a year or two to take a break from academic study.
