Page 122, 可以参照page 110第一段Should not make decisions on behalf of their children but should take an active part in the decision-making process by giving advices, providing information, experience, knowledge and boosting confidence.While parents should guide or direct their child, sometimes it is helpful to allow him/her to make a mistake. This will teach the child to live with the consequences of a wrong decision and also to ponder future choices more carefully.3.Support the arts or protect the environment 高分page 112Protect the environment since a healthy environment is the perquisite to produce and enjoy the arts and each company has an obligation to secure environment which it pollutes either directly or indirectly.4.Movies: serious or entertaining 高分page 114I derive a greater sense of enjoyment from movies that get me to think, because I can find better light entertainment elsewhere and I consider movies a serious art form.诚然，看movies that amuse or entertain lights can distract oneself from the seriousness of everyday life and can serve as a kind of escape. However, it’s nothing more than diversion. Serious movies, on the other hand, can present an important social issue from a point view that has not been thoroughly discussed. Thus, the audience can begin to think about questions that they had not considered before. In this sense, movies can add to discussion and make a contribution to culture and society.5.Should businesses do anything they can to make a profit?

Adults can use games to strengthen these areas, but their abilities are already much more advanced, and therefore games are more important for children.8.What do you appreciate most in a friend?

Sometimes I have to work on assignments that don’t interest me very much. Besides, it is hard for me to balance personal life and career. Sometimes, I am forced to work overtime to finish a task. In other words, I have to sacrifice my personal time to cater to my boss’ needs or maximize the interests of the company.So in sum, I would like to be self-employed. In this way, I have more freedom. On one hand, I can decide which jobs to take and which one to reject and on the other hand, I can have a more flexible work schedule that will not interfere with my personal life. Furthermore, I can be involved in every step of the development process, which is quite cool.。

托福培训：/kcnet420/托福一对一qq咨询：1613508081（验证：文库托福）Sleet is part of a person’s daily activity cycle. There are several different stages of sleep, and they too occur in cycles. If you are an average sleeper, your sleep cycle is as follows. When you fist drift off into slumber, your eyes will roll about a bit, you temperature will drop slightly, your muscles will relax, and your breathing well slow and become quite regular. Your brain waves slow and become quite regular. Your brain waves slow down a bit too, with the alpha rhythm of rather fast waves 1 sleep. For the next half hour or so, as you relax more and more, you will drift down through stage 2 and stage 3 sleep. The lower your stage of sleep. Slower your brain waves will be. Then about 40to 69 minutes after you lose consciousness you will have reached the deepest sleep of all. Your brain will show the large slow waves that are known as the delta rhythm. This is stage 4 sleep.You do not remain at this deep fourth stage all night long, but instead about 80 minutes after you fall into slumber, your brain activity level will increase again slightly. The delta rhythm will disappear, to be replaced by the activity pattern of brain waves. Your eyes will begin to dart around under your closed eyelids as if you were looking at something occurring in front of you. This period of rapid eye movement lasts for some 8 to 15 minutes and is called REM sleep. It is during REM sleep period, your body will soon relax again, your breathing will slip gently back from stage 1 to stage 4 sleep----only to rise once again to the surface of near consciousness some 80 minutes later.托福培训：/kcnet420/托福一对一qq咨询：1613508081（验证：文库托福）。

2014年托福考试写作必备范文范文的题目：American RevolutionThe American Revolution was not a sudden and violent overturning of the political and social framework, such as later occurred in France and Russia, when both were already independent nations. Significant changes were ushered in, but they were not breathtaking. What happened was accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution. During the conflict itself people went on working and praying, marrying and playing. Most of them were not seriously disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of the more isolated communities scarcely knew that a war was on.America’s War of Independence heralded the birth of three modern nations. One was Canada, which received its first large influx of English-speaking population from the thousands of loyalists who fled there from the United States. Another was Australia, which became a penal colony now that America was no longer available for prisoners and debtors. The third newcomer-the United States-based itself squarely on republican principles.Yet even the political overturn was not so revolutionary as one might suppose. In some states, notably Connecticut and Rhode Island, the war largely ratified a colonial self-rule already existing. British officials, everywhere ousted, were replaced by a home-grown governing class, which promptly sought a local substitute for king and Parliament.。

新托福写作考题回顾朗阁海外考试研究中心曹美玲考试日期： 2014.11.08（A卷）Task 1INTEGRATED 综合写作Amtrak should be sold to privately owned companies.阅读文章要点：Amtrak should be sold to privately owned companies.1. It loses money on some routes.2. It is unfair to privately owned companies such as airlines because they have reduced the price in order to compete with the government.3. People drive cars more often and do not like to take the Amtrak. 听力逐一反驳：These reasons are unconvincing.1. The main purpose of Amtrak is not to earn money but to facilitate the transportation of the rural areas. People in these areas have the same right as those living in places that have accessible transportation routes.2. The government has already supported the airlines, eg, building the airline transportation control towers and offices.3. People do not like taking Amtrak because it is outdated, if the government invests in improving it, it will be more favorable and more people will take it. The professor gives examples of Japan and Europe, they invest a lot in high-speed rail lines and make it comfortable and fast, and thus people take this a lot and leave the cars at home.Task 2 INDEPENDENT 独立写作话题类别社会类考题文字：Do you agree or disagree with the followingstatement?Nowadays it is not important for people tohave meals with families regularly.本次写作考试点评：本次新托福综合写作重复2010.12.19大陆考题。

听力对阅读的观点一一进行反驳：1. 限速并不是serious accidents减少的唯一决定因素，比如更好的路况（better road condition）等都可能使得恶性交通事故率降低；2. 由于限速带来的尾气排放量的降低其实只有0.1%，限速不能使空气质量得到显著提升。

【题】Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Your job has more effect on your happiness than social life does.题型分类：选择题论证角度：原因挖掘观点选择：让步开头：跟社会生活相比，工作对我们幸福的影响更大。
（话题引入+他人观点+明确立场+过渡）It is one of human beings’ basic rights to be in pursuit of happiness. Among all factors that can affect our happiness, jobs and social life are the most talked about ones. Thus, an interesting discussion arises on which one of them on earth exerts more influence on our wellbeing. As far as I am concerned, jobs have more correlation with (联系)our happiness instead of social life. My reasons and examples are given below. (74words)中间段1：工作能让人实现自我，充满有成就感。
（主题句+说理论证+细节例子）Firstly, jobs make us feel valuable and fulfilled, which is an important reflection of happiness. It is because everyone is born to this world with a mission. Apart from rudimentary physical demands l ike eating and sleeping, we also need to seek the meaning of life, and working plays a critical role in helping us to find the answers, from which their happiness is derived. For example, Steve Jobs, as we all know, is a workaholic工作狂who almost devoted all the time to his career without much social life. However, from his biography I can feel that it is his career that defined his happiness.（it defines who I am）(102 words)中间段2：工作带来财富，而财富是幸福感的物质保证。

The voyage from Europe to North America was easier than now;听力逐一反驳：1. The spear points may be developed independently. Since both inhabitants in North America and Europe were exposed to large mammals. They need the weapon to hunt them down. When Asian moved to North America, they made those point spears to protect themselves when they encounter large mammals.2. This statement is less convincing. The skull they found is just an odd case. There is only one bone that seems like European. And there is no other remain shares the same shape of that bone.3. There was no boat or fish web in the remains of European site which indicates that they have no experience in sea travel. And also the voyage to North America is long and dangerous. There is no chance for them surviving the journey.Task 2 INDEPENDENT 独立写作话题类别社会类考题文字：Do you agree or disagree with the followingstatement?People often buy products not because theyreally need them, but because other peoplehave them.本次写作考试点评：本次新托福综合写作重复2013.03.02大陆考题，是关于人类历史的话题，相比较而言话题难度较大，阅读和听力中专业词汇较多，可能会造成信息难以把握精准或完整。
TPO 14 托福综合写作范文
TPO 14综合写作阅读原文：Every year, forest fires and severe storms cause a great deal of damage to forests in the northwestern United States. One way of dealing with the aftermath of these disasters is called salvage logging, which is the practice of removing dead trees from affected areas and using the wood for lumber, plywood, and other wood products. There are several reasons why salvage logging is beneficial both to a damaged forest and to the economy.First, after a devastating fire, forests are choked with dead trees. If the trees are not removed, they will take years to decompose; in the meantime, no new trees can grow in the cramped spaces. Salvage logging, however, removes the remains of dead trees and makes room for fresh growth immediately, which is likely to help forest areas recover from the disaster.Also, dead trees do more than just take up space. Decaying wood is a highly suitable habitat for insects such as the spruce bark beetle, which in large numbers can damage live, healthy spruce trees. So by removing rotting wood, salvage logging helps minimize the dangers of insect infestation, thus contributing to the health of the forest.Third and last, salvage logging has economic benefits. Many industries depend upon the forests for their production, and because of this a fire can have a very harmful effect on the economy. Often, however, the trees that have been damaged by natural disasters still can provide much wood that is usable by industries. Furthermore, salvage logging requires more workers than traditional logging operations do, and so it helps create additional jobs for local residents.听力原文：Professor：Salvage logging may appear to be an effective way of helping forests recover after a destructive fire or storm, but it can actually result in serious longer-term environmental damage. Its economic benefits are also questionable.First, cleaning up a forest after a fire or storm does not necessarily create the right conditions for tree growth. In fact, the natural process of wood decomposition enriches the soil and makes it more suitable for future generations of tree. The rapid removal of dead trees can result in soil that lacks the nutrients necessary for growth.Second, it's true that rotting wood can increase insect population, but is this really bad for the forest? In fact, spruce bark beetles have lived in Alaskan forest for nearly a hundred years without causing major damage. And of course dead trees do not provide habitats only for harmful insects. They are also used by birds and other insects that are important contributors to the long-term health of forests. In the long run, therefore, salvage logging may end up doing more harm to forests than harmful insects do.And third, the economic benefits of salvage logging are small and don't last very long, in severely damaged forests, much of the lumber can be recovered only by using helicopters and other vehicles that are expensive to use and maintain. Furthermore, jobs created by salvage logging are only temporary and are often fitted by outsiders with more experience or training than local residents have.范文：The lecturer and the reading passage hold completely different views toward the practice of salvage logging, which is the removal of dead trees from a forest after a fire or a storm.First, the lecturer states that removing dead trees is not good for the health of a forest because it deprives it of the nutrients necessary for future tree growth, which dead trees release into the soil as they decompose. In contrast, the reading passage states that removing old trees provides more space in which new generations of fresh trees can grow more healthily.Second, the lecturer argues that some insects and birds that inhabit dead trees are beneficial for tree growth, and a few that are thought to be harmful have shown no evidence of causing significant damage to the forest. So by eliminating both harmful and beneficial birds and insects, salvage logging may cause unwanted damage to the forest in the long run. The reading, however, mentions only harmful insects and the spruce bark beetle in particular. It points out that because clearing the forest of dead trees also destroys the habitat of these harmful insects, it ensures the healthy recovery of a forest after a fire.Finally，with regard to economic impact, the lecturer argues against salvage logging because the dead trees can only be salvaged at a very high cost, and the employment associated with salvage logging is often temporary and taken by non-native residents. On the other hand, the reading argues that this practice provides many industries with the wood necessary to sustain their production and offer employment opportunities to local people.。
2014托福写作范文赏析
2014年的托福写作应该重点复习哪些题目?谷天田提供写作范文：减压的办法是独处？希望谷天田提供的资料对你的托福备考有所帮助!托福写作题目：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The best way to truly relax and reduce stress is to spend time alone.（减压的办法是独处？）托福写作参考范文：Regardless of age, individuals from all walks of life各行各业require ample amounts of time for relaxation. Whether or not it is due to other people, schooling, work, or even the living environment, the underlying cause would always seem to be the reduction, if not total elimination 完全消除, of stress. Who doesn’t want to sit by the beach and sip an ice cold glass of juice while not being bothered by the heavy workload you left at the office? However, for today, that will not be our main concern. Instead, we would focus on which is the ideal way of relaxation—alone or with another person or group?Certain people某些人prefer lying in their beds all day with their headphones on while being whisked away去to their personal fantasy lands. There are even those who would spend time alone in the mountains just to meditate冥想. Others, however, like it the other way around. They would rather go to a lunch date or even to night parties with their family or friends. Now I am not saying that either one is the right way of doing it or the other one is obviously wrong. Relaxation is more of a personal preference. Even if your officemat/coworkers took you to a KTV bar since it’s her way of being relaxed, if that’s not your cup of tea如果你不喜欢的话, then most likely you’ll never have a good time. With this being said, I prefer spending time alone in order to relieve myself of stress, even if it’s just for that fleeting moment. Let’s have a deeper look as to why I said that.For one, as mentioned above, stress is mostly caused by external factors. Yes, factors that involve other people mostly. If I wanted to relax, I’d rather spend it in the comfort of my own room or maybe while having a quick walk around our local park. Psychologically speaking, the presence of stimuli (other people themselves and their actions toward you) can either agitate or remind you of the stress you are trying to drive away. Here’s a very simple example. Suppose, I am a student who is currently stressed by the never-ending barrage of lessons and homework一堆永远做不完的作业听不完的课. I’ve just had enough of these already that I decided to go to a local resort to unwind. Then along came my classmates. They also want to go with me there. I might enjoy their company and the venue, but I’m pretty sure, any moment someone will want to start a conversation about our professors, homework, and lessons. Now, how will I be able to relax then? If I went alone, spent time with just the water, trees, and blue sky, I believe the outcome would be very different.On a social perspective, this approach would be taken as a form of anti-social behavior. Those who favor the other side of the coin would often claim that real enjoyment and in particular, relaxation, can only be achieved via the presence of other people. Now this certainly holds water. However, my counter-argument is the fact that not all people are comfortable spending time withother people. Regardless of the reasons—money, distance, beliefs, and preferences, the fact is still there. When one spends time alone to relax and accordingly shoo away stress, he is doing himself a huge favor of not worrying about his friends or family members who might’ve come with him.The desire for relaxation is all but natural. Stress, on the other hand, is the culprit behind such inclination. Be it alone or with other people, relaxing activities are a sure-fire way of beating stress. However, as per the reasons indicated above, I would rather prefer spending time alone, maybe in a private hotel suite and spa, than spend time with other people of whom I am quite sure do not share my preferences wholly.。

2014年托福高分写作范文
Sleet is part of a person’s daily activity cycle. There are several different stages of sleep, and they too occur in cycles. If you are an average sleeper, your sleep cycle is as follows. When you fist drift off into slumber, your eyes will roll about a bit, you temperature will drop slightly, your muscles will relax, and your breathing well slow and become quite regular. Your brain waves slow and become quite regular. Your brain waves slow down a bit too, with the alpha rhythm of rather fast waves 1 sleep. For the next half hour or so, as you relax more and more, you will drift down through stage 2 and stage 3 sleep. The lower your stage of sleep. Slower your brain waves will be. Then about 40to 69 minutes after you lose consciousness you will have reached the deepest sleep of all. Your brain will show the large slow waves that are known as the delta rhythm. This is stage 4 sleep.
You do not remain at this deep fourth stage all night long, but instead about 80 minutes after you fall into slumber, your brain activity level will increase again slightly. The delta rhythm will disappear, to be replaced by the activity pattern of brain waves. Your eyes will begin to dart around under your closed eyelids as if you were looking at something occurring in front of you. This period of rapid eye movement lasts for some 8 to 15 minutes and is called REM sleep. It is during REM sleep period, your body will soon relax again, your breathing will slip gently back from stage 1 to stage 4 sleep----only to rise once again to the surface of near consciousness some 80 minutes later.。
