托福考试新版 作文
托福考试新版作文《托福考试新版》托福考试新版,就像一场全新包装的冒险。
哎呀,你知道吗?当我第一次听说托福考试有新版的时候,我那心里呀,就像揣了只小兔子,七上八下的。
我有个朋友,叫小李。
他那可是下定决心要考托福的。
旧版托福的那些事儿,他都摸得门儿清。
可这新版一来,他就像个迷失在森林里的小鹿,到处乱撞。
我陪着小李去了解新版托福的考试内容。
哇塞,那规则和题型的变化就像变魔术一样。
以前的一些题型像是换了个马甲,还有些新题型就像突然冒出来的小怪兽。
就拿阅读部分来说吧,以前的阅读就像是走在一条熟悉的小路上,虽然也有磕磕绊绊,但大致方向很明确。
可新版的阅读,感觉像是走进了一个迷宫,那些题目隐藏在文章的各个角落,你得像个侦探一样,一点点地去挖掘线索。
听力部分也有大不同。
小李和我一起试听了一些新版托福的听力材料。
那语速,有时候就像一阵狂风,呼呼地就过去了。
里面的词汇和话题也更加五花八门。
有一次,我们听到一个关于深海生物的听力材料,那些稀奇古怪的生物名字,什么“叶形海龙”“巨型乌贼”之类的,光是听着就觉得头疼。
而且,还得记住它们的习性、生存环境这些细节,感觉自己的脑袋都要不够用了。
口语部分呢,就像是一场紧张的脱口秀。
你得在短时间内组织好语言,还要说得有条有理。
小李练习的时候,那表情就像吃了苦瓜一样。
有一回,他在说一个关于城市交通问题的话题,说着说着就卡壳了。
他本来想说“交通拥堵会导致人们上班迟到”,结果说成了“交通拥堵会让人们上班变迟到”,自己说完就忍不住笑了起来。
我们俩笑得眼泪都快出来了,可笑着笑着又觉得有点心酸,这考试还真不容易呢。
写作部分也不是省油的灯。
它的要求更加细致和严格。
就像你要精心打造一件艺术品一样,每个段落、每个句子都得恰到好处。
不过呢,随着小李不断地去探索新版托福,他也逐渐找到了一些应对的方法。
他就像个勇士一样,不断地和这个新版托福的“大怪兽”战斗。
他开始制定详细的学习计划,每天早起背单词,晚上练习听力和口语。

新托福写作范文(热门4篇)
新托福写作范文第1篇Task:It has been said, “Not everything that is learned is contained in books.” Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?.托福写作模板范文参考:We all crave knowledge, especially in this Age of Information, but what is the best source of knowledge? Are we to believe Albert Camus, who stated” The place we are to get knowledge is in books”? Or are we better served by following Albert Einstein's counsel that “The only source of knowledge is experience”? Although books have their place in one's learning, there is no substitute for experience; indeed, it is experience that is ultimately the most important source of knowledge.First, let us consider the knowledge needed to undertake a profession-for example, that of a physician. Knowledge gained from books provides the foundation of a doctor's training: study in a medical school begins with a near-overload of reading on anatomy, physiology and maladies both rare and common. However, during this time the medical student is also learning through experience, beginning with dissecting cadavers from almost the first day of medical school. Then, the aspiring physician must complete four years of residency, consisting of actual supervised experience at a hospital in which he or she now must put into practice all of the knowledge he or she has edge of dealing with patients, prescribing medication, and the joy and sadness of saving and losing patients; in other words, it is through experience that these residents finally learn what it means to be a doctor.What about knowledge other than professional expertise-for example, knowledge about another culture? In this realm as well, both books and real-life experience enrich and edify us. For example, Paris is perhaps the most talked-about and written-about city in the world. We could read Hemingway's A Moveable Feast, in which he describes the excitement and intellectual spirit-as well as the restaurants and plentiful red wine-of Paris in the 1920's. Or, we could travel to Paris and eat at bistros, walk across the Pont Neuf and look at the river Seine, visit the Louvre museum, and have adventures of our own. Clearly, most people would have attained more lasting and vivid knowledge by visiting Paris on their own rather than reading about it secondhand.In summary, experience, rather than books, is more central to our quest for learning, especially with regard to professional expertise. With regard to learning about another culture, experience is also irreplaceable. Yet not everyone in the world will have the health or financial resources to carry out a trip to Paris. But many people have access to a local library where they can borrow A Moveable Feast and, at no cost, read Hemingway's vibrant descriptions of Paris. We cannot forget the complementary and unique knowledge afforded by books, but experience is the most precious source of knowledge.新托福写作范文第2篇Some people say that computers have made life easier and more convenient. Other people saythat computers have made life more complex and stressful. What is your opinion? Use specificreasons and examples to support your answer.托福写作满分作文范文:Some universities require students to choose a variety of subjects; others only require students tospecialize in one subject. I deem the first one as the premier choice. Among countless factors,there are three conspicuous aspects as follows.The main reason for my propensity that students should take classes in many subjects is that theycan make full use of the abundant resources that a university has to offer. A university has plentyof educational and research resources. It is a very good idea to make full use of these valuableassets while studying in the university. The best way to achieve this is to take a variety of subjectsas much as possible. Through learning these courses, a student can get access to knowledge andresources in different areas. On the contrary, if a student only specializes in one subject, he willnot have a chance to get access to other resources offered by the university.Another reason can be seen by every person is that by choosing many subjects students can broaden their knowledge and make a solid foundation for their future concentrated study. Whatever the student will concentrate on in his senior years in college, it is necessary that hechoose a wide range of subjects to build the knowledge foundation. Take the field of BusinessManagement for example, the student has to acquire knowledge in writing, accounting, economicsand human resource management before he can successfully start his major concentration argument I support in the first paragraph is also in a position of advantage because studentscan be more adaptable in their future career if they choose a variety of subjects during theiruniversity study. It is obvious that the development of modern society requires people with inter-disciplinary and comprehensive knowledge. If a student chooses a variety of subjects in hisuniversity study, and gained a breath and width of knowledge, he will be more adaptable to therequirement of the society, and be able to easily adjust to many kinds of jobs. This will benefit hisfuture career.In a word, taking into account of all these factors, we may reach the conclusion that studentsshould take classes in many subjects in a university.新托福写作范文第3篇满分托福综合写作范文In 1990, new rules and guidelines were adopted in the United Kingdom that has changed the whole field of Archaeology in that country. The new guidelines improved the situation in all there areas discussed in the passage.First, the new guidelines state that before any construction project can start, the construction site has to be examined by archaeologists to see whether the site is of archaeological interest or value. If the site is of archaeological interest, the next step is for the builders, archaeologists and local government officials to get together and make a plan for preserving the archaeological artifacts, either by building around them or by excavating and documenting them properly before the construction is allowed to proceed.Second, an important part of the new guidelines is a rule that any archaeological work done on the construction site will be paid for by the construction company not by the government.The construction company has to pay for the initial examination of the site, and then for all the work carried out under the preservation plan. This is a whole new source of financial support. The funding from construction companies has allowed researchers to study a far greater range of archaeological sites than they could in the past.Last, the new guidelines provide a lot of paid work for archaeologists, work that didn’t exist before. Expert archaeologists are now hired at all stages of the process to examine the site for archaeological value, then to help draw up the preservation plan to do the research in a professional scientific manner and finally to process the date and write reports and articles. The increased job and career opportunities in Archaeology have increased the number of professional archaeologists in Britain, which is now the highest it’s ever been.新托福写作范文第4篇Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The best way to travel is in a group ledby a tour guide. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.托福写作满分作文范文:There are a lot of views whether the best way to travel is in a group led by a tour guide. Differentpeople has different viewpoint. In my opinion, a group led by a tour guide is the best way totravel. The argument for this view goes as follows:In the first place, there are many advantages when people travel in a group. First, people will notfeel boring in a long trip. People can talk, laugh and make joking like a big family. Second, thegroup will help you a lot when you have any emergency. The people in the group could help youfigure out the awkward situation that will be unimaginable when you travel alone. Third, with thegroup discount, such as the discount for airplane ticket, the hotel, and the admission ticket,travelers can save a lot of money when they use the group discount.In the second place, there are many advantages too when people travel led by a tour guide. Thetour guide will arrange all the details about the trip in advance. The traveler need not worry aboutwhere to find the hotel, where to rent the car, and how to find the direction. It will make the trip a little bit easy. Another advantage is that led by a tour guide will save much time than travelingalone. With the professional knowledge, tour guide will make the smartest schedule. I wouldnever forget that one of my friend, a city tour guide in the Shanghai, China, said that she can leadtraveler to visit the whole city by one day which people should spend two or three days to finishit.In conclusion, there are many advantages when people travels in a group led by a tour guide, suchas save money, save time, do not feel boring, and is easy to take care of. Therefore, I stronglyagree that the best way to travel is in a group led by a tour guide.。
无老师力荐iBT新托福综合写作满分范文
TPO1X文:The lecturer claims that the new policy, which allows people to work four days a week instead of five, will have negative effects for companies as well as society. This claim is not in agreement with that of the reading passage, which suggests that such a policy will be beneficial.According to the lecture, a company that allows employees to have fewer working hours is likely to hire more people to ensure that it meets normal levels of productivity. If this occurs, expenses for training and medical insurance will inevitably rise. The reading passage, by contrast, suggests that employees who enjoy more leisure time make fewer mistakes and work more efficiently, leading to increased profits for the enterprise.The second point of difference between the lecture and the reading passage concerns the impact of the policy on the unemployment rate. The lecturer asserts that for the sake of saving money, employers might raise their expectations of 4-day employees rather than recruit more people. Consequently, employees who work 4 days will be forced to finish what they did in 5 days previously, and no additional jobs will be created.Finally, the lecturer argues that under the new policy, employees will experience not only decreased quality of life <as shorter working hours will translate into less pay>, but also fewer chances to be promoted to supervisory positions. However, the reading passage contends that more leisure hours can create opportunities to strengthen family ties and allow employees to develop private interests, making them feel more satisfied with their lives.TPO2〔ETS 满分版〕The lecturer talks about research conducted by a firm that used the group system to handle their work. He says that the theory stated in the passage was very different and somewhat inaccurate when compared to what happened in reality.First, some members got free rides. That is, some didn’t work hard but got recognition for the success nontheless. This also indicates that people who worked hard were not given recognition they should have got ten. In other words, they weren’t given the opportunity to "shine". This directly contradicts what the passage indicates.Second, groups were slow in progress. The passage says that groups are more responsive than individuals because of the number of people involved and their aggregated resources. However, the speaker talks about how the firm found out that groups were slower than individuals in decision making. Groups needed more time for meetings, which are necessary procedures in decision making. This was another place where experience contradicted theory.Third, influential people might emerge and lead the group towards glory or failure. If the influent people are going in the right direction there would be no problem. But in cases where they go in the wrong direction, there is nobody that has enough influence to counter the decision made. In other words, the group might turn into a dictatorship, with the influential party as the leader, and might become less flexible in its thinking. They might become one-sided, and thus fail to succeed. Rating annotation:Once you can read past what seem to be the results of poor typing, this Benchmark 5 does an excellent job of presenting the points about the contribution and recognition of group members as well as about speed of group decisions. The final paragraph contains one noticeable error<"influent">, which is then used correctly two sentences later <"influential">. Overall, this is a successful response and scored within <though perhaps not at the top of> the 5 level.TPO3〔满分X文〕The lecture revises the idea presented in the text, that Rembrandt was not the artist who painted the famous painting "Portrait of an Elderly Woman in a White Bonnet".The inconsistency between the white cap, which identifies the woman as a servant, and the expensive fur collar she wears dissolves as the Professor explains that the fur collar was apparently painted over the original painting to increase its worth by displaying an aristocratic woman.In addition, the assumption that light and shadow in the painting do not fit together is refuted by the fact that in the original painting, the woman wears a light cloth that illuminated her face. Thus the presentation of light and shadow was indeed very realistic and accurate, as it is characteristic of Rembrandt’s paintings.Finally, the mystery of the panel consisting of patches glued together is also solved in the lecture. Actually, the wood panel was later enlarged to make it more grand and valuable, but the original painting was painted on a single panel, as Rembrandt would have done it. Furthermore, the wood is of the same tree used in other Rembrandt paintings, like the "Self-Portrait with a Hat".All this information points to Rembrandt as the painter of the controversial painting.TPO4〔满分版〕The professor actually contradicts the statements made in the passage. She is of the view that dinosaurs are not endotherms i.e. they were not able to keep their body temperature at a constant rate.The professor contradicts the issue of dinosaurs being endotherms based on the availability of fossils being available in the polar regions, she say that the polar regions in those days were not as cold as they are today i.e at least warm enough for dinosaurs to live. During harsh winters she says that there is a possibility of the dinosaurs actually migrating to warmer regions.The issue of leg position and movement being used as a reason to classify the dinosaurs as endotherms does not please the professor either. She says that dinosaurs had legs under their bodies to support their huge bodies i.e the legs under the body of the dinosaur were actually to support the huge weight of the dinosaur and not to provide it with a body structure likeendotherms<which is actually suited for running>.The professor acknowledges the presence of haversian canals but also points out that that the fossils show the presence of growth rings. These rings occur due to the thickening of the bone. The thickening indicates th at the dinosaurs weren’t actually growing continuously but were experiencing periods of rapid growth and periods of no growth in succession. This pattern. She says is characteristic of non endothermic animals.Thus it can be inferred that the professor challenges the passage by giving reasons as to why she thinks that the dinosaur is not an endotherm.TPO 5The author of the reading passage proposes three theories as likely explanations of the primary function of Chaco Canyon houses, grant structures built in the I2th century. The lecturer, however,points to the inaccuracies in each of these theories.The lecturer argues that the modest number of fireplaces in these structures is in contradiction with the huge size of these houses, indicating that these structures could not have been used for Residential purposes. The Reading, however, draws comparisons between the Chaco houses and other similar large Residential structures in support of the "Residential" theory.The second theory, that the houses were used for food storage, is also rejected by the lecturer. He explains that a place that had been used for storing maize would have many traces of scattered Maize, which is not the case in the area of the Chaco Canyon houses. This proves that the "food storage theory" is unlikely.Finally, regarding the third theory, the "ceremony theory'', the lecturer contends that the presence of broken pots close to the great houses does not offer sufficient proof that this was a place for ceremonial activities. He argues that there are other materials such as pieces of construction trash found along with the broken pots, which suggest that these pots were probably not used for ceremonial purposes but instead were discarded by construction workers upon completion of the great houses.TPO 6The lecturer addresses each of the three criticisms of communal online encyclopedias mentioned in the Reading passage.The lecturer admits that communal online encyclopedias, like any reference book, may contain errors, but she claims that these errors can be corrected much more easily and quickly than those printed in a paper encyclopedia. The Reading passage, in contrast, points to the inaccuracy of information in online encyclopedias, presenting the argument that errors in these resources are due to lack of professional knowledge among contributors.The lecturer then gives two strategies that have been proven very effective in protecting online encyclopedias from malicious alteration. She explains that contents that consist of indisputable facts are stored and presented in a read-only format so that nobody can make changes to them. In addition, she says, there are specialists who constantly monitor contents online so that they can quickly remove a suspicious change once it is detected.The lecturer also challenges the final point in the reading regarding the nature of topics covered in online encyclopedias. She says that because of virtually unlimited space on the Internet. there is no need to worry about what is important enough for inclusion in an online encyclopedia. Moreover, the greater variety of topics in online encyclopedias more truly reflects the genuine interests of the general public, even if some of these topics are less serious or academic than those in traditional encyclopedias.TPO 7The lecture and the reading passage give contradictory opinions on the topic of ecocertification, a form of accreditation conferred by on international agency in recognition of a company's eco-friendly practices. The passage explains that it is not necessary for American wood companies to pursue ecocertification while the lecture provides several counterarguments to this view. First, the lecturer argues that the reading passage is too general in its statement that American consumers reject advertising completely. He asserts that Americans do not trust advertising claims for a product only when these claims are made by the company that sells the product. When aclaim is made by an independent third party such as a wood certification company, he posits, consumers respond very positively with strong acceptance of the certified product.The lecturer also refutes the second point in the reading - that price-sensitive American consumers are likely to choose cheap wood products without certification. The professor contends that certified wood is only slightly <less than 5%> more expensive than uncertified wood, and therefore, he argues, consumers will tend to ignore the price difference and choose the eco-friendly product.Finally, receiving eco-certification is, according to the professor, an important strategy used by American wood companies to ensure that their products can compete against ecocertified wood products imported into the domestic market from foreign countries. According to the reading, however, this strategy is unnecessary because American consumers are likely to be content with domestically manufactured products, even if they are not ecocertified.TPO 8The Reading passage raises several doubts about the accuracy of the memoir written by the Chevalier de Seingalt, whereas the professor defends the memoir in the lecture by clarifying the seeming contradictions in the Chevalier's accounts.The professor argues that because the Chevalier was rich in assets but poor in cash while he was living in Switzerland, he occasionally had to borrow funds to pay for expensive recreational activities. According to the professor, having low amounts of cash is not the same as being financially poor. The reading, however, holds that as someone who had to borrow large amounts of money from others, the Chevalier must have fabricated stories of his wealthy life in Switzerland.Moreover, the professor challenges the skepticism expressed in the reading regarding the reliability of the conversations with votaries that the Chevalier recorded in his memoir. She explains that because the Chevalier had a habit of recording each conversation with V oltaire immediately after they met, he was able to recall those discussions in detail even years later. Finally the professor rejects the claim in the reading that the Chevalier bribed his way out of a prison in Venice. She says that the pact that none of the other prisoners, even those with better resources, had been able to do so shows that bribery was unlikely. Furthermore, she points to a government paper that recorded the repair work done to the Chevalier's prison cell, citing this as strong evidence that the account of his escape from the prison was indeed accurate.TPO 9The lecturer points out several problems with the use of hydrogen-based fuel-cell engines in support of her claim that substituting them for internal-combustion engines is technologically unfeasible, environmentally unfriendly, and economically unviable.First, the lecturer states that it is impractical to replace internal-combustion engines with fuel-cell engines because using the latter requires hydrogen in a pure liquid form, which is technologically challenging to both obtain and store. However, the reading argues that because hydrogen can be extracted from many resources including water, fuel cell engines powered by this infinite source of energy are an extremely attractive alternative.Second, the lecturer refutes the claim in the reading that hydrogen cells are environmentally friendly. She argues that although engines that use hydrogen cells produce less pollution, themanufacturing of hydrogen cells generates large amounts of harmful by-products due to the burning of fossil fuels in the purification process.Third, although the reading suggests that hydrogen-based engines are more fuel-efficient and thus economically competitive than internal-combustion engines, the professor argues that such an advantage is undermined by the fact that fuel-cell engines are extremely expensive to manufacture because they require the addition of platinum, a very rare and expensive material.TPO 10The lecturer and the reading passage suggest two competing theories, the predation theory vs. the pollution theory, to explain why the sea otter population is in rapid decline.The professor reasons that the absence of dead sea otters washed up the coast suggests that their decline is not caused by sea pollution but rather by sea predators who consume their bodies after Killing them. In contrast, the reading passage attributes the death of sea otters to pollution, citing evidence of increased sources of ocean contaminants which lead to greater vulnerability to infections.Furthermore, the lecturer argues that orcas are likely factors in the disappearance of sea otters, because the scarcity of whales, their usual prey, has left them with no other choice but to start hunting smaller mammals like the otters for food. The reading passage, on the other hand, Rules out this theory based on the orca's preying habit, and instead approves of the pollution theory as the only explanation for the decline op both large and small sea mammals across the entire ecosystem.Finally, according to the lecturer, the uneven pattern of sea otter decline corresponds to the distribution of the orcas. She argues that the pact that their population has declined most rapidly where orcas are most prevalent further validates the predation theory. However, the reading passage argues that changeable environmental factors, which lead to different concentrations of pollutants, better explains the varying pattern of sea otter decline.TPO 11The lecturer raises several arguments to counter the reading passage's strong criticism of the public's declining interest in reading literature.The lecturer argues that literature is only one among many forms of reading genres from which the public can benefit intellectually. The public also benefits from reading works of science fiction and historical novels, among other reading genres. Therefore, the reading is wrong to claim that the public is suffering great losses by not reading literature.Furthermore, the lecturer explains that even if it is true that the public is reading fewer books and watching more television and films instead, it does not necessarily mean that culture is in decline. Television and film are simply modern forms of cultural expression that are also intellectually stimulating and directly relevant to contemporary life.Finally, the lecturer admits a decline in audience and support of literature in today's society, but she attributes it to the authors themselves, who have alienated themselves from the reading public by using overly complex language. The reading, however, blames the lowering standards of the public for the declining interest in reading great works of literature.TPO 12The reading passage suggests that three pieces of evidence provide support that a portrait recently commissioned for sale by a member of Jane Austen's family is of Jane Austen herself when she was a teenager. However, the lecturer rejects such evidence and argues that the painting could not be a portrait of Jane Austen.First, the lecturer argues that the portrait was approved for publication by the Austen family 70 years after Jane Austen's death, suggesting that members of her extended family might have published the portrait without having actually seen her in person. Therefore. the fact that the portrait had been endorsed by her family members does not necessarily prove that it is a portrait of Jane Austen.Second, the lecturer argues that the resemblance between the portrait and an authentic sketch of the adult Jane Austen could be explained by the hypothesis that the portrait is of a relative of Jane Austen when the relative was a teenager.Finally, the lecturer argues that despite the style of the painting, which links it to the exact period when Jane Austen was a teenager, the stamp on the back of the canvas suggests that the portrait was painted at least 27 years after Jane Austen's birth, indicating that the portrait was of someone else who was much older than the teenage Jane Austen.TPO 13The lecturer rejects the ideas presented in the reading passage about the problems involved in the booming business of commercial fossil trading. In her opinion, the benefits of this new development outweigh its negative consequences.The lecturer does not agree with the first point made in the reading—that private collectors keep their fossil collections away from the public. She contends that the commercial trading of fossils actually makes them available to a wider public, because everyone with a budget, such as private schools and libraries, can purchase them for study and exhibition.The lecturer goes on to refute the claim in the reading that fossil trading business prevents scientists and public museum from benefiting from fossil finds, as these parties cannot compete with wealthy private buyers to acquire important fossils for research purpose. On the contrary, she argues, scientists themselves are the first to evaluate any important fossil before it can be sold in the commercial market at a price, so the academic community does not miss any opportunity to study privately traded fossils.Additionally, the lecturer challenges the final downside of fossil trading mentioned in the reading. The lecturer reminds us that the damages, if any, caused by private collectors in their field operations are more than offset by the effort these individuals have made to increase the number of fossils available to the public that would otherwise remain undiscovered.TPO 14The 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 fortree 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.TPO 15The lecturer argues against the three measures mentioned in the reading passage to reduce the population of the cane toad, a species introduced to the Australian continent.The lecturer argues that the first measure, a national fence, would not prevent the flow of streams or rivers and, therefore, would allow young toads or toad eggs to travel to the other side of the fence. The reading passage, however, argues that such a fence would effectively cut off the Route that animals use to establish colonies and expand in population.Regarding the second measure, recruiting a large group of volunteers, the lecturer explains that volunteers often have difficulty distinguishing between cane toads and native frogs, an endangered species. Therefore, volunteers might kill members of both species. The Reading passage gives theopposite view. Organizing a large group of volunteers to join an extermination campaign wouldspeed the destruction of cane toads.Finally the lecturer objects to the third measure—using an infectious virus. She points out that a virus intended to eliminate Australia's cane toad population could be transmitted through animal transportation to other continents where cane toads are an essential part of the ecosystem. This is indirect contradiction with the claim in the reading passage that an infectious virus could bedeveloped to stop the reproduction of cane toads without harming other species.本文件非无老师原创,仅为美化后方便各位考友们学习。

新托福TOEFL-iBT独立写作范文集粹(二)范文四IC Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Grades (marks) encourage students to learn. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.ESSAYLearning is a great tool. Grades are great reward for a good learning. Attending school is a great way to access your learning ability and performance. I believe that grades are great indicators of a good learning for the following reasons: They prove how well he or she has learned the topic, area of weakness, and what it needs to be done to improve.Grades prove how well he or she has learned the topic. Take it for instance, if a person take an exam and perform poorly, then this prove that he did not prepare for the exam enough to pass. Therefore, grades are great indicators if a person was prepared for anexam or not.Grades will also prove the area of weakness. Exams tend to gear the student on how to approach a particular exam and how to focus on the area of weakness. For example, if a person is preparing for a national exam, he or she must focus on the areas where he or she lacks. Grades will show which areas he or she performed well and the areas of poor performance. This set a guideline for a student to prepare more precisely to sharpen his weak area.Grades also help student study harder. A student has the tendency to study harder if he or she gets a positive reward. For example, I used to be very unhappy if I did not pass an exam. Therefore, I took my unhappiness and anger toward my studying and put more hours into the subject so I can perform better. I recall an incidence in high school when I had failed my official exam which it made me realize that studying less will not be the solution and studying hard was my only way to pass this exam.Grades are essential to every student and I believe it is a great way to gear student ability, andperformance. They do help a student to focus, work harder, and concentrate and the area of weakness. Finally, assessment is a way of encouraging, and improving each student learning.Notes:reward 报答indicators 指标;指示针weakness 弱点guideline 指导方针unhappiness 苦恼assessment 评估来源:考试大-托福考试。

新托福2023年学术讨论写作题目及范文
托福学术写作题目以下是一个可能适用于2023年的托福学术写作题目,供您参考:随着社交媒体和互联网的普及,人们获取和分享信息的方式发生了巨大的变化。
请分析这种变化对个人和社会的影响,并讨论我们应该如何应对这种变化。
托福学术写作范文Title: 社交媒体与信息获取方式的变革:影响与应对随着社交媒体和互联网技术的迅猛发展,信息获取方式发生了翻天覆地的变化。
这一变革在个人和社会层面均产生了深远的影响。
对于个人而言,信息的获取不再受限于传统的媒体渠道,每个人都可以成为信息的发布者和传播者。
然而,这种变革也带来了一系列的问题,如虚假信息的传播、隐私泄露等。
因此,我们需要重新审视这一变化,并提出相应的应对策略。
首先,个人层面。
社交媒体的普及使得人们可以随时随地获取和分享信息。
这大大提高了信息的传播速度和广度,但也导致了信息过载的问题。
人们常常淹没在海量的信息中,难以筛选出真正有价值的内容。
此外,社交媒体上的信息往往缺乏权威性和公信力,导致人们对信息的信任度降低。
其次,社会层面。
社交媒体在提高信息传播效率的同时,也带来了诸多社会问题。
一方面,虚假信息的传播严重影响了社会的公共利益,如误导公众舆论、损害他人名誉等;另一方面,社交媒体的匿名性使得一些不负责任的行为得以滋生,如网络暴力、谣言传播等。
这些行为不仅损害了个体的权益,也破坏了社会的和谐稳定。
为了应对这些问题,我们需要在个人和社会两个层面上采取措施。
首先,个人需要提高信息筛选和批判思维能力,学会从海量信息中筛选出有价值的内容,并理性对待各种信息。
其次,社会需要加强监管力度,制定相关法律法规规范社交媒体平台的行为,打击虚假信息的传播。
同时,政府和媒体也需要承担起更多的责任,提高信息的权威性和公信力。
综上所述,社交媒体与信息获取方式的变革对个人和社会产生了深远的影响。
我们需要正视这些影响,并采取有效的应对措施,以实现信息获取方式的健康、可持续发展。
只有这样,我们才能真正受益于这一变革,推动个人和社会的共同进步。

5 用词多样性和准确性。
6 如果有需要的话,再背一下是最好的了,没有输入就没有输出吗!比如:In this case, computer as a representative of modern technology pla ys a negative role in learning information.这句话,我们自己很有可能写的就是,In this case, computer that is a equipmen t of modern technology have a bad effect in learning information.这里的差距就很十分明显了!因此,当给你美的东西,还要有一双发现美的眼睛!2011-8-2 Independent WritingDoes modern technology help students learn more information and learn it more qui ckly?Marvelous as it looks at first sight, modern technology does not help students learn information at a greater speed and with higher efficiency in most cases; or it coul d work towards the opposite direction which led students to lose their initiative to l earn and explore.First of all, one property of modern technology is latently harmful to any learning mind –it distracts. One thing we feel about when we are searching for information online is that the internet, as an outstanding example of modern technology and even regarded as the innovator of education, provides us with not only relevant resul ts to make use of, but also external links to click. More than once I turned on my computer to check school library for resources, but ended up watching Youtube vide os. In this case, computer as a representative of modern technology plays a negati ve role in learning information. We do acquire more information with the convenient tool, yet most of them are irrelevant and in the end procrastinating would lower o ur learning.Also, students would easily become disoriented in the huge sea of information. Alth ough modern technology could equip us with easy access to information, the huge amount of resources would actually leave us discombobulated. Therefore, it is only we possess information more quickly rather than we learn it more quickly. An illustr ating example is my experience with a HK digital library which stores almost all the books I desire. At first I enjoyed downloading them from the database, however, one month later I ended up with hundreds of books stored in my hardware yet no ne of them finished or ever clicked.Furthermore, modern technology gives students an illusion that information and real knowledge is easy to learn –just by clicking mouse or watching videos. But in fac t this forms only the first step towards useful information and effective learning, as learning of any kind requires full concentration and interactive thinking, which are almost absent in the pocess of popular e-learning experience.To summarize, modern technology does not help students learn more information a nd learn it more quickly, though it does make access to information and resources much more easily. The popular e-learning still lacks the concentration, depth, and in teraction that are the hallmark of traditional ways of educating and learning.2011-8-10TPO Independent writing:我们生活的时代比父辈们年轻时生活的时代更好还是更坏?It seems that people always have a desire to compare: am I prettier than others? Are we living in a better age? Or, as the question goes, is our life easier and more enjoyable than it was several decades ago? I would say no, as I have witnessed t he struggle and paradox of our generation.First of all, we are now living in an age of revolution with no previous human expe rience that could be referred to. Living in such a fast-changing world would not be easy and comfortable at all; with everything keeps changing, everyone has to move fast in order to catch up with the majority. However, people were much more sta ble and care-free when our grandparents were children; they did not have to learn a second language in order to get a better job, or read a lot in order to get infor med. Yet in our age, these are supposed to be the responsibility of young people.Another discomfort of our age is that we are experiencing interpersonal alienation. With the development of communication technology, people in fact become alienate d with friends and relatives since they could be so easily accessed via phone or em ail. Too often we feel that few of our friends are true friends, without the tradition al feeling of mutual affection which could only be created by longtime apart. But se veral decades ago, people treasured their friends and maintained relatively close int erpersonal relations, which is much more enjoyable than the estrangements we are experiencing.The last factor that has made our age so uncomfortable is the abusive use of tech nology. Although it brings much convenience, it essentially changes human –we ar e no longer the master of tools, but instead the slaves of devices. We rush to metr o station in order to catch an early train, sit in front of radioactive computers all d ay long in order to get our work done, and stay in air-conditioned rooms all summ er without experiencing the natural changes outside thick cement walls. Several dec ades ago, people could still live closer to nature and make rational use of modern t echnology, which to me is the essence of human living experience.However, the comparison between different times is itself ridiculous. The criteria cou ld not be easily determined, and opinions are highly personal. Anyway, we have a l onger life span, more advanced medical facilities, and easier traffic than our grandp arent when they were children, and we should treasure the present experience. Ima gination of the past might only be nostalgia –if I ask my grandparents the same q uestion, they might as well say that our life is much better than the past generatio ns. Who knows? As long as the world is still peaceful, life at any time would not b ecome too difficult to handle.2011/8/14Independent writing:Most advertisements make products much better than they really are.I strongly agree to the statement that most advertisements makes the products pre sented much better than they really are, and points below supports my idea.An essential reason concerns the nature of advertising –advertisers, in most cases, would only make products seem better than they really are, not the other way aro und. Since the ultimate aim of advertising is to persuade people into buying someth ing, and people would natually be attracted by something that is desirable rather th an repellent, advertisements are certainly made to display a more attractive image o f products. Therefore, customers would first be graviated towards the virtual produc t that is somewhat dishonestly pictured by advertisers, then desire to own it, and e ventually purchase it. In this way, the desire of consumers is satisfied, the purpose of production achieved, and the advertising process completed.But the norm that a “good” product is advertised as a “better” one is often challen ged or even reversed –that is, unscrupulous businessmen make use of advertising to sell inferior products, which raises a moral question. For example, my mother wa s once attracted by a commercial of a encyclopedia which was claimed to be the o ne and only complete version of several ancient Chinese documents. She rushed to the shop and bought this “limited version” at a eye-popping price, and regarded it as one of the most precious things in our house. However, a few months later she found the same version was sold in bulk at another shop at an unbelievably low p rice, which annoyed her for quite a long time. We can learn from the experience th at we should not always trust the advertisements that are apparently exaggerating products, and keep alert in the swarm of television commercials.However, the notion that “advertisement always make us disappointed” sometimes r esults from consumers’ unrealistic expectation of products. Advertising easily makes people to imagine “perfect” products which are not realistic at all, but consumers w ould rather keep this unreasonable hope. Then they would be inevitably disappointe d by the actual products which cannot be so perfect, and attribute the cause to ad vertising. But it is actually the unrealistic expectation that eclipses any product, beca use a perfect image is absolutely subjective and could not even be realized. For ex ample, I once signed up for a group tour toLantaoIslandinHong Kong, being attracte d by the beautiful landscape pictures posted in the advertisements. But later on in t he journey I was disappointed because actual scenery was never as attractive as w hat I had expected to see. Therefore, an unrealistic expectation is to be avoided in making any buying decision.In conclusion, advertisements do make products seem much better than they really are, as a result of commercial propaganda and our unrealistic hope imposed on pro ducts. A better solution would be that both consumers and sellers keep a more real istic point of view, and avoid unreasonable selling or buying behavior.2011/8/15Independent writing: Does technology make children less creative than in the past?Are our kids becoming lazier and less creative, less imaginable than before as a co nsequence of highly advanced technology? My answer is no, and just the opposite, technology has apparently assisted our kids to become more creative.First and foremost, technology has provided children with easy access to scientific a nd liberal art resources which is their best source of inspiration. For example, childr en could now easily gain access to academic databases through iPad screen, read cl assical works on Kindle, or watch historic documents on Internet. These great works are essentially helpful to arousing their curiosity and prepares them with key knowl edge necessary for any creation. However, these wonderful equipments and facilities are never as handy in the past, when kids could only reach limited resources in p ublic libraries or schools. In this sense, technology has provided the possibility for c hildren to be more creative.Second, technology has equipped children with professional apparatus which could fi nally realize their imagination. This takes form particularly as computer softwares an d applications, such as Photoshop for creative graphic design, Overture for easily co mposing a piece of music, 3DMax for building up a virtual world, etc.. All the softw are were never as handy as they are at present, and this would absolutely provides our children an effective tool for realizing their creativity.Third, technology itself is a market place where creative ideas are economically enc ouraged. Steve Jobs earned millions of dollars a year for his unparallel creation, an d Mark Zuckberg gained his reputation for the genius social network. Therefore, tec hnology has provided children the internal motive to develop their creativity.However, it is undeniable that technology might make children become lazier and b e comfortable with what is already available because everything are so convenient n owadays and there seems to be no way to improve them. Children lost in pc game s or blindly pursuing every single piece of tech apparatus is a relevant example. Th us, it is always necessary to keep children’s mind active in the marvelous world of technology.In a nutshell, I still regard children as becoming increasingly creative in technology development, although it might bring minor side effect. As along as we keep a bala nced mood on children enjoying the fruit of technology, they are sure to contribute more to innovation than in the past.2011-08-20Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The teachers should be pai d according to how well the students perform.Teachers should in part be responsible of the students’ school performance, yet I d i sagree to the statement that the teachers should be paid according to the students’performance on several grounds.The statement itself underlies a serious mistake –the very purpose of teaching and schooling, and education on a bigger scale, is better performance of all students. Common sense informs me that education, and teachers’ responsibility in particular, should be intended to building up students’ confidence in exploring and discovering unknown respects as well as specific skills required to accomplish that. Such standar d is often broad and abstract in contrast to the narrowness and rigidity of the crite rion –students’ performance. If teachers’ salary is determined by the students’ perf ormance, this hint would destroy the long-term function of schooling and education since the system is short-sightedly targeted at improving students’ performance. Another thing to be worried about the statement is that, if actually carried out, bot h teachers and students would be cast into the irrational pursuit for performance th us results in serious problems. For example, a teacher evaluated in this way is imm ediately forced to make the decision: to push her class toward the best performanc e or at least better than the worst-performing class, and show preference to studen ts who perform well. Such measures might be incentives for a better grade, but theteacher and the students would lose their original motivation in schooling as perfor mance becomes the one and only purpose. Also, consequent competition among stu dents would place heavy pressure on every student, and the ones who do not perf orm well would be neglected by the teacher and fall into upset. Considering all the disastrous effect such measure could incur, it is obvious that teachers should not b e paid o n the basis of students’ performance.A more realistic and rational criterion to value teachers’ work (and therefore decide their salary) should include factors such as comprehensive developments of students, teachers’ own capacity to cultivate and educate, and parents’ feedback. Yet my dis agreement does not suggest that students’ performance should be abandoned but r ather included along with other indispensable factors in evaluating teachers’ work, si nce school report is still among most parents’ top con cerns and students have to u se it as anchor when applying for further studies. Also, it is reasonable that teacher s who can enhance students’ performance should be paid better, as the measure w ould moderately motivate teachers to work hard.In a nutshell, I object to the idea that the teachers should be paid on the basis of the students’ performance, but should instead be evaluated on a medley of compr ehensive quatatives which agrees with the purpose of education and schooling as w ell as encourages their effort toward more satisfying learning experience.。

无老师iBT新托福,SAT作文巨讲堂无老师满分范例:Another reason is that modern people are more effective than those in the past. And great efficiency is one fundamental way to success. We are able to make use of many tools increasing productivity today. For instance, the computer plays an important role in our life in terms of efficiency. As I want to search material concerning the “nuclear energy”,all I have to do is to type this term on Google and a great number of sources will pop out on the screen. Given the past, I had to go to the library andbury me a couple of days looking for the information on nuclear energy without the assistance of computers. The distance is conspicuous, thus modern people with advanced technology would succeed more readily.无老师优秀翻译:另外一个原因是现代的人比之前的人效率会更高。
更好的效率是成功的一个关键因素。
我们今天可以更好地使用工具来提高我们的效率。
比如,电脑就在增加我们效率这方面上起到了很重要的作用。

iBT新托福作文巨讲堂(2015年01月号)无老师优秀范例:Another reason why the statement is false is that it neglects the growing power of modern technology, which releases people from their labor and put machines and computers in places which employeesoriginally occupy. It is a common phenomenon now that tremendous farm land are being well organized under thecontrol of merely its owner taking advantage of the most advanced machines. Also, factories that ―manage the mass production is no longer news. Neither of these seemed even possible only decades ago, but they nowobvious examples of how a bussiness could be run without employees.无老师优秀翻译:这个说法不成立的另外一个原因是在于,它忽略了不断发展的现代科技,他把我们人类从繁重的体力劳动之中解放出来,让机器和电脑代替了原来雇工做的事情。
要知道,现在很多农场主,仅仅是通过最先进的机器就能很好的管理自己巨大的农场了。
同时,那些雇佣电脑来管理生产线的工厂,已经不是很新鲜了。
但是这些在10年前都是不可能的,但是在今天,他们都成了,公司如何在没有很多员工的情况下,运营的最为明显的例子了。
本段,一共就4句。
第一句,优秀范例:Another reason why the statement is false is that it neglects the growingpower of modern technology, which releases people from their labor and put machines and computers in places whichemployees originally occupy.对比平庸范例This statement is wrong, and the another reason for this is that it can not seethe technology is developing, and it liberates our human from hard work, and it makes machines and computers do thejobs that people do.从开头我们就一下能辨别出优秀范例,与平庸范例的差别,在这里平庸范例的This statement iswrong,几乎就是字对字的把单词堆砌起来的,但是优秀范例首先一个another即显示出本段是承接上一段进行进一步论述的,这一点,平庸范例根本显示不出来。
其次,优秀范例对于表示对一个观点的否定的时候,用的也是false,而不是比较口语的wrong。
接下来,优秀范例,在表达忽略的时候用的也是neglect,也是很书面化,加分!不仅如此,接下来,优秀范例用的growing power写的也是很贴切,而不是像平庸范例写的technology is developing句型写的这么简单和常见。
而在这个时候,如果我们跳到更高的高度的话,还会发现优秀范例的Another reasonwhy the statement is false is that it neglects这个句型一气呵成,逻辑衔接得非常好,我们可以直接抄下来,当作常用加分句式。
用的很好,第二个是后半句,优秀范例选词其实一般,但是两个固定搭配很好,首先是releases ….. from…..put ……. in places,两个固定搭配看似平庸,但是当我们把真正的平庸范例makes machines and computers do thejobs,拿过来的时候,我们就会发现,原来优秀范例写的颇有一些文绉绉的感觉!也就是把你提走了不说提走了,而是说找人替代了你的位臵,言下之意,也就是这里不需要你了。
而且优秀范例最后用的employees originallyoccupy,这里的originally occupy用的特别好,首先originally,那就说明,now,这里已经没有你的位臵了。
然后occupy,对应前面的place,颇有前后呼应的感觉。
至于平庸范例do来,do去的,过于口语化。
第二句,优秀范例It is a common phenomenon now that tremendous farm land are being well organized under thecontrol of merely its owner taking advantage of the most advanced machines.对比平庸范例We all know that many farmowners are managing their farms by the most advance machines.优秀范例的It is a common phenomenon now that显得非常的书面,颇有一种―纵观古今,我们都知道这样一个道理‖的大会作报告的感觉扑面而来!赞~\(≧▽≦)/~ !至于平庸范例的We all know that,就好像是―大伙想想,是不是这个理‖口语化倾向很浓厚。
接下来的tremendousfarm land也就是还好。
但是后面的一连串组合拳很漂亮,首先是are being well organized强调现在已经是正在实行的情况,其二,under the control of merely its owner,用介宾短语under+名词结构,而不是用很僵化的by doing。
而且优秀范例最后还用了伴随状语taking advantage of,使得句式很多样化,而且其本身还是一个固定搭配take advantage of,更是给自己加分!longer news.对比平第三句,优秀范例Also, factories that ―hires‖ computers to manage the mass production is no庸范例At the same time, it is not new that many people are using computers to manage the factories.这里优秀范例很俏皮的用了hires,而不是buy,第一点与前面的取代了人的位臵相呼应,因为hire只能hire人,但是在这里hire的是computers,其实就是在强调computers取代了人的位臵。
其次,mass production没有用常见的factory production,亦或者assembly line,不见得有多好,但是代表自己掌握的单词量很丰富,这也是给自己加分的。
而且最后的nolonger news也得很漂亮,用否定的方式,来表达肯定的意思,这个东西已经不新鲜了,也就是已经司空见惯了,更证明自己的论述很有道理。
最后一句,优秀范例Neither of these seemed even possible only decades ago, but they now obvious examples of how a bussiness could be run without employees.对比平庸范例But they are imposibble in many years ago, but today, they are the most obvious examples of how a company run without many people.首先,作者将否定词Neither放臵于句首,而不是像平庸范例一样用imposibble来表示否定,比较新颖,本身就使得句式与众不同,加分!然后,表示几十年之前,也没有用many years ago这样很常见的方式,而是直接秀了一下词汇量,用了decade这个词―10年‖,词汇量赞!最后的亮点,就是在于but they now obvious examples of这个链接的很好,首先用they,呼应前文,然后用obvious examples of引导出自己的例子来支持自己的观点,浑然天成!而且优秀范例最后还用到了employee 这个词,看似平淡无奇,但是反观平庸范例的用的是many people,顿觉得优秀范例用词准确。
无老师iBT新托福作文巨讲堂(2015年02月号)无老师优秀范例:Another reason why I advocate for space technology is that it does good to dwellers on earth not only in the future, but also today,–at this very hour, at this very minute, at this very second. Without satellites, an Australian could never be able to, say, take a day off, be a couch potato, watch a football game on the opposite side ofthe planet. With satellites, never will a Chinese professor travel by air to an academic meeting in America, and still stepout of the plane with a trembling hand.无老师优秀翻译:我支持空间技术的另外一个原因是:他不仅未来对于地球的定居者有好处,而且今天也是,在每一小时,每一分,甚至每一秒。
没有卫星,一个澳大利亚人根本就不可能放一天假,看一整天电视,在地球的另一端看足球比赛。
