托福机经：2014年12月27日托福阅读真题智课网整理独立写作题目：If you are selecting a leader for a student organization, honesty is the most important to consider in deciding whom to vote for.独立写作范文Honesty is a good quality to lead a student organization. A lot of students vote for a campaign candidate who is loyal and honest as the best one to lead a student organization. As far as I am concerned, being honest is essential in running a students union; however there are other factors that draw the same attention.Admittedly, telling the truth when dealing with student affairs is helpful for colleagues to improve. In order to fully support other workmate, directly telling them where the problem is and how to correct it are useful. For example, when a colleague who is new to the Office of Student Affairs, makes a mistake in correctly registering student’ names, plainly pointing out his mistake is necessary. In addition to this, it would be also appropriate to tell him that student’ handwritings are normally scratchy, and there would be more typos if he has not paid enough attention to them. In a word, being honest to his mistake would not discourage his working enterprise, but encourage him to work with more cautions. However, on balance, for a leader to manage the team well, being honest is not enough for the absolutely honest to others would hurt their feelings. To avoid this, we have to consider other factors as a leader of a student organization.To begin with, admitting to personal mistakes is a crucial characteristics for a leader, which sets foundation for self-improvement. If one is unable to acknowledge where he has failed, he will never be able to begin the process of working on the areas of weakness. In order to be a strong leader, one has to make mistakes, and confront them with a desire to do better in the future. This has more to do with improving your competence as a leader, rather than how people perceive you. A leader will constantly be faced with tough decisions. Every leader thus has to take risks, but a good leader takes calculated risks. The only way to get better at this decision-making process is to make mistakes and learn from them. Also, if you are willing to make your mistakes public, the voters and colleagues may be willing to trust you to take bigger risks in the future.In addition, how to cooperate with other teammates is also worth noticing. In other words, team cooperation is able to improve the efficiency when encountering difficulties. According to a survey conducted by Gallup, after polling hundreds of student leaders from universities in California, a significant percentage of them regard that being cooperative in dealing with problems could get everybody involved when making decisions. During the discussion, suggestions from different members would make the problems comprehensively considered, and hence minimizing the chance to ignoring certain aspects. Meanwhile, letting everyone have an opportunity to express his opinion makes them feel a part of the team, which is essential to build team spirit.To sum up, there is no denying that honesty could help a student leader to run the organization. However, to consider it as the most important one is too absolute, and there are other factors, such as admitting to errors and teamwork, that are indispensable for a leader to take consideration.综合写作：Reading ListeningManhaden 鱼数量减少, 政府应该限制harvest of fishing companies不同意1 应该减少striped bass的鱼，因为他们主要捕食manhaden 1 reduce striped bass会对整个生态系统带来影响，破坏平衡2 Manhaden 是protein得来源，减少它对livestock和poultry有影响2 Soybean 也可以提供protein, 并且会更加经济实用3 减少生产使得就业机会减少，这会带来经济问题3 会带来事业和经济损失，但是一段时间后可以recover. 但是如果不采取行动，整个地区会collapse.。

When you fail to manage these problems, they are likely to cause various mental illnesses.The cause of mental health problems often vary a lot from one case to another. In today’s society, a good number of people are sufferingfrom heavy pressure. Others lack communication skills.

You should write at least 150 words and base your composition on the outline given below:1)一些人喜欢和人打交道多的工作2)然而也有一些人更愿意和机器打交道3)你更喜欢哪种工作?为什么?【范文】Work with a Person or Work with a Machine?When asked about work preference, different people will give different answers. Some people like working with people. However, others prefer jobs which mainly involve objects or machines.Those people who have the first preference believe working with people usually makes one feel interesting and efficient. In addition, they maintain people can be inspired to bring forward new ideas by communicating or consulting with those around them. However, still others have different preferences. In their opinions, working with objects or machines can make one enjoy more peace and quiet. Besides, they argue, under such peaceful conditions, one can do more practical work, improve his skill and make technical renovations.Weighing up these two kinds of work, I prefer working with people. For one thing, I like to cooperate with others and work in a team. For another, although there are competition and rivalry, we can learn something from other people. Considering these, I think, working with people is beneficial to our career development.【大学英语四级写作模拟题二】1.当前，社会上有很多私立学校和培训学校;2.私立学校的利与弊3.你的看法【范文】It can be noticed that a large number of private schools or training organizations become a new landscape in education.

As a coin has two sides, so are the private schools. On the one hand, private schools can meet the special needs of the society or the particular requirements of people. On the other hand, they often bring people extra burden because of comparison and competition.When asked to decide whether we should have a society without private schools or a society with private schools, I will not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. Although attending a training course will result in the extra cost or burden, it is of tremendous merits in preparing my work and cultivating my skills.【大学英语四级写作模拟题三】Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30minutes to write a short essay entitled OnVolunteering activities.

2021年托福写作模拟试题及答案(卷十七)
2021年托福写作模拟试题及答案（卷十七）Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Most of the environmental issues are too complicated today. Individuals cannot do anything about them.Sample:Our current environmental problems grow ever more serious. Sometimes they seem so serious and confusing that it seems an individual could never do anything to help fix the problems. Personally speaking, I believe that individuals can make a difference. There are at least two areas where the efforts of ordinary individuals can be meaningful in solving environmental issues.Firstly, individuals can protect environment by changing their ways of waste disposal. If every person would classify his or her garbage before throwing it away, much of it could be recycled and pollution could be reduced. Just take beverage cans as one example. Recent surveys suggest that over 7,000 tons of waste beverage cans go un-recycled each year in America alone. The cost of finding these cans after they have been thrown away, reclassifying them as recyclable and then sending them to be recycled is far higher than simply making new ones. However, if individuals would sort their cans and then discard them into the proper containers, the expense of recycling would decline greatly and there would be reduction in absolute pollution caused by the beverage cans.This is one area where an individual can make a difference.Secondly, environmental problems will be somewhat improved once individuals in society consume less energy. It is because the requirement of natural resources used to produce energy will reduce and as a result, the environmental damage human inflicts will also decline. As an academic survey indicates, if every family in America could reduce their electricity use by 5% a year, 1.65 billion units would be saved. It means that the generator motived by coals in the whole country can take a break for more than a month. In fact, not only can it make human’s requirement of natural resources less, but also it can alleviate the air pollution caused by burning coals. Consequently, for winning the battle of protecting environment, individuals’endeavor, undoubtedly, is a great strength that should not be ignored.Admittedly, most people do not have the specialized knowledge and skills to tackle many issues related to the environment. Besides, they do not have the influence to change entire systems. Nevertheless, the claim that individuals can do nothing to solve these issues is an obvious overstatement. In fact, the power that individual can exert is much more than we can expect.In conclusion, I disagree with the idea that individuals can do nothing in solving environmental problems since the issues are too complicated.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People should be allowed to use cell phones on public transportation such as buses and trains.Sample:Using cell phones on public transportation can be too noisy and impolite, so in some places policies are put forward to stop people doing that. However, in my opinion, people should be allowed to use cell phones on public transportation for the following reasons.Firstly, cell phones are convenient for people to use to communicate. If people cannot use them on public transportation, some important issues might be delayed. Imagine a businessman receives a phone call from a director of a big company when he is on the bus. If using cell phones on public transportation is forbidden, the potential client might lose his patience so there will not be any deal. Perhaps, a little kid cannot get in contact with his parents when he falls ill suddenly, either, just because his parents are both on buses. Therefore, stopping the use of cell phones on public transportation can make cell phones lose their basic function and may cause a lot of troubles.Secondly, people can not only use cell phones to make a call, but they can also use them to listen to music or play games, which are good ways for busy people to relax. Nowadays, more and more people work overtime but entertainment is really time-consuming, so some of themare stressed out or even have some mental diseases, like depression. I often play cell phone games on the subway on my way home after a whole day of study and when I get home, I usually feel energetic from the brief rest. Thus, it is a good option for busy people to play games or enjoy music by cell phones on their way to work or home, because it can help to release pressure as well as save time.Finally, the prohibition on using cell phones on public transportation cannot make the environment quiet, as people may do other things which can produce noise, like reading fun stories, chatting or watching movies. Last month, when I was on the train to Beijing, a young man sitting behind me kept laughing because of the fun movies he was watching. Passengers surrounding him could not stand the noise, including me, so we asked the steward to stop him. However, the man in front of me kept talking on the phone with a low voice and we all thought it was acceptable. It is obvious that a quiet environment depends on the manners of passengers rather than the use of cell phones.In light of what has been discussed above, as people do get benefits from using cell phones on buses, trains, subways, etc., I can safely draw a conclusion that cell phones should not be prohibited on public transportation.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? In order tobecome financially responsible adults, children should manage their own money at a young age.Sample:Sometimes some parents just think that it is unnecessary to let their young children learn how to manage money. Nevertheless I cannot disagree with this statement more. As far as I’m concern, it is crucial for children to learn how to manage their money, though maybe only a small amount, in order to be a financially responsible adult.On one hand, learning to manage money makes a child know how precious the money is. Therefore, they won’t exploit their money on things of no use when they grow up. Taking myself as an example, when I was young I used to waste money on snacks and toys, which are of no use. Then one day, my mother gave me 10 dollars and told me that this was all the money available in this month. I reluctantly managed my money and felt that it was really hard to get enough money. Therefore I became more cautious on purchase decisions.On the other hand, learning to manage money teaches children how to increase their fortune. As I have said in the last statement, money is precious and it is hard to get enough money to use. Therefore, the best way to get adequate money is to increase our fortune by ourselves. We manage our budget and put our money into things that can increase our fortune –for instance, a child may use a part of his pocket money tobuy some cards and sell the cards to his friends to gain some extra money. Children who are familiar with how to increase their fortune by managing their money are more likely to gain financial success in the future.In addition, learning how to manage money can also help children to manage other aspects of their daily life. As a child is used to managing his pocket money, he tends to put this practice into managing other aspects in life, such as time. People who do good time management usually have a balanced life. They work and study happily and enjoy their life.To conclude, I strongly recommend children be taught how to manage their money when they are young. This practice can provide them with a greater likelihood to succeed and a well-balanced life when they become adults. It will benefit not only themselves but also their whole life.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? To improve the quality of education, universities should increase professors' salaries.Sample:With the rapid development of society, more and more elites are required in the field of advanced science and technology. So how to improve the quality of higher education becomes an emergent problem for universities. However I don’t think increasing professors’salaries isthe only way to improve the quality of education. There are much that we can do, like improving the facilities and equipment, designing attracting courses or introducing famous professors.As the enrollment increases in universities nowadays, there are so many students attending colleges, which will require more funding and resources. Universities should employ more faculties, purchase more facilities to cope with the increasing population in campus. Only in this way will students get equal chance to gain knowledge and live a colorful campus life. For instance, when I was a fresh student in my college, so many students want to study in library that I need get up early and rush the way to get a seat. Limited seats in the library hamper students' passion in learning. So I think to improve the quality of education, it is of great importance to make the facilities prefect.What's more, universities should spend some money on holding academic conferences and introducing knowledgeable and prestigious professors into university. Thus students have more opportunities to communicate with professors who are famous in their fields. I think that will inspire students' creativity, intelligence and imagination, which are all needed in the college study. It will also provoke them to have more thoughts about their future career development.Admittedly, universities should increase the salaries for professors. After all they are people who interact with students everyday. Theirinfluence on students is beyond compare. A college teacher is fully responsible for the quality of education. What a student is capable to do depends on what knowledge and skills they gain from school and from professors. So professors should be encouraged to constantly improve their teachings.All in all, if universities have enough money they should take various ways to improve the quality of education, especially what I mentioned above.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? If we can't say anything nice about someone, then we should not say anything about this person.Sample:Some people believe that rather than saying something their friends or co-workers don’t want to hear, they choose to just stay silent. However, in my opinion, telling the truth is the only thing I will do to the people that I care about, no matter whether they are pleased or not. There are two major reasons I would like to present to support my opinion.First of all, if you only say nice things about other people, people will not treat you as a real friend. Because being friends is all about helping and supporting each other, since you only say nice things to your friends and meanwhile refuse to give them your advice when they mademistakes, they cannot feel your support. In long term, they won’t think you as a friend, at least not a close friend, anymore. It is not only applause they need when they did a good job, but also help and suggestions while they are in trouble.Additionally, as you never tell the truth or give guidance to your friends when they are not on the right track, in all probability they will not do the same thing to you, either. Therefore, only saying the nice things may also has negative influence on your own career. As we all know that team spirit and teamwork is imperative to a successful business. Imagine this, while you and your co-worker spend more than eight hours together every day in the work place, but two of you only speak highly of each other and never help each other to find out and rectify other’s mistakes. Is this what we call team spirit or teamwork? I don’t believe so. This kind of working relations will damage the whole company and stop the company business from progress. Obviously, it will also be harmful to your own career.To summarize, instead of just saying nice things about people, I think it is more advisable to tell the truth and express what you think. Help your friends or co-workers discover their mistakes and give them your advice. It is not only other people, but also yourself that you are helping in a long term.The most important leadership quality for CEOS?For CEOs, creativity is now the most important leadership quality for success in business, outweighing even integrity and global thinking, according to a new study by IBM. The study is the largest known sample of one-on-one CEO interviews, with over 1,500 corporate heads and public sector leaders across 60 nations and 33 industries polled on what drives them in managing their companies in today's world.Steven Tomasco, a manager at IBM Global Business Services, expressed surprise at this key finding, saying that it is "very interesting that coming off the worst economic conditions they'd ever seen, [CEOs] didn't fall back on management discipline, existing best practices, rigor, or operations. In fact, they [did] just the opposite."About 60% of CEOs polled cited creativity as the most important leadership quality, compared with 52% for integrity and 35% for global thinking. Creative leaders are also more prepared to break with the status quo of industry, enterprise and revenue models, and they are 81% more likely to rate innovation as a "crucial capability."Other key findings showed a large disparity between views of North American CEOs and those from other territories.For example, in North America, 65% of CEOs think integrity is a top quality for tomorrow's leaders, whereas only 29-48% of CEOs in other territories view it as such.Ironically, while company leaders in North America will bring moreintegrity to the job, they also expect far more regulation than foreign heads —both presumably reactions to negative public perception and heavy government intervention following the recession. A full 87% anticipate greater government oversight and regulation over the next five years —only 70% of CEOs in Europe hold this opinion, and 50% and 53% in Japan and China, respectively. Meanwhile, nearly double the amount of CEOs in China view global thinking as a top leadership quality, compared with Europe and North America.The area of focus the regions can all agree on is customer focus: 88% of all CEOs, and an astounding 95% of standout leaders, believe getting closer to the customer is the top business strategy over the next five years.托福写作素材模板：印度“老虎计划”运动素材段落In 1973, the Indian government initiated a tiger protection campaign called ‘Project Tiger’which was designed to help protect the diminishing tiger population. The tiger population was declining due to habitat loss, poaching and other human-related factors. During the campaign, twenty-five tiger reserves were established where human development and inhabitation was forbidden. On these reserves, the breeding of tigers has been facilitated, and mature tigers have been transported to other regions with the goal of increasing their worldwidepopulation. At the same time, the campaign has organized the Tiger Protection Force to catch poachers and relocate villagers in the rural areas so that they are no longer living within natural habitats. As a result of these efforts, the population of Bengal tigers in India has increased from about 1,200 in 1973 to an impressive 3500 in 2007. Due to this fact, they are no longer on the brink of extinction.单词和词组diminish 减少=decrease, decline✎diminish water and energy supply✎diminish government revenue by limiting commercial activities with the goal of …以…为目的=with the purpose of …✎With the goal/purpose of establishing a more efficient basic education system, authorities are obliged to implement scientific teaching strategies for all primary schools.on the brink of 濒临=on the verge of✎on the brink/verge of starvation句型结构…where …在这(那)里，地点状语从句结构✎There has been a large-scale migration of industrial workersfrom the countryside to the cities where many manufacturing factories are located.话题词汇濒危物种endangered species动物保护区habitat conservation/preservation对…有潜在威胁pose a potential challenge/threat to视而不见turn a blind eye to充耳不闻turn a deaf ear to以…为代价at the expense of弥补make up for采取各种措施保护take various measures to protect/safeguard The New York Times is an American daily newspaper that boasts the largest circulation of any metropolitan newspaper in the United States. Reporters and editors of The New York Times have undertaken a large-scale effort to bring readers a variety of high-quality news reports, articles and analyses on issues within America and throughout the world. In 2007, they issued a special series of reports on industrial workers at Foxconn, a manufacturing Titan based in China. Readers were exposed to a detailed analysis of the problems facing those workers, which included a rise in contingent employment, a decline of social welfare benefits and deteriorating working conditions. All of these problems had resulted in a dramatic suicide rate increase at Foxconn. More importantly, the reportraised general concerns among American and Chinese politicians and economists of the challenges confronting workers globally and of the possible creation of a universal coalition of workers.单词和词组undertake a large-scale effort 努力做...=strive for✎undertake an unremitting effort to …be exposed to 接触到✎expose children to television violence✎expose people to new ideas句型结构…, which include (s) …, …and …非限定性定语从句结构✎Although caring for an animal helps children nurture a sense of responsibility, other actions are also effective, which include reading stories that teach responsibility, setting good examples and encouraging them to help with more household chores.适用考题✎In order to be well informed, a person must get information from many different news sources. (TPO 19)新托福写作范文素材：做兼职的好处Taking on a part-time job while pursuing a degree is hard work, but the benefits are typically greater than the amount of a paycheck.Students who work during their college careers may have better time-management skills than their counterparts. They must understand responsibility and apply it to their daily lives. They earn money that can be used for fun or for tuition, while gaining experience in the workplace that will be attractive to future employers after graduation.MoneySimply put, students who hold down part-time jobs will have more money than they would have otherwise. As they come into adulthood, earning an income canboost their confidence and allow them to have some fun within the limits of their paychecks. Some students need to work through school to afford tuition. Others will set the money aside to pay back student loans. Still, the money will be theirs to spend as they wish, and they may appreciate it more because they worked for it.Students earning their own money get lessons on spending wisely. They may be less likely to spend their hard-earned money frivolously and learn to delay gratification to pay for necessities, such as text books and rent. At the same time, they can save for non-essential purchases, such as a car.语言点：Simply put：简单来说come into adulthood 马上成年boost one’s confidence: 增强信心set the money aside 留出钱spend their hard-earned money frivolously 挥霍辛苦挣来的钱delay gratification 延迟享乐Time ManagementStudents taking on a job on top of their studies will have less free time than non-working students. When working students have to measure out their time, they tend to be better planners as they make sure they complete every task on deadline. They learn to weigh their priorities, sometimes skipping fun activities to finish their responsibilities. This prepares them for life after school when excuses and tardy work will be frowned upon.语言点：on top of 除了weigh one’s priorities 权衡轻重缓急skip fun activities to 为了…不单纯享乐ExperienceOften, part-time jobs that introduce them to their preferred career after school is over.

Even students who work in places not connected to their majors will look more impressive to potential employers.They'll have some kind of work experience on their resumes to start, and the fact that they've been ableto hold a job while a school attests to their level of maturity, responsibility and time management. Employers look for employees who understand the work environment and work well as part of a team. Having a part-time job shows that the student is at least somewhat accustomed to the professional world, which will make the transition that much easier.语言点：gain important introductory experience in 获得在.. 基础的经验begin networking with those in certain field 在某一个领域开始建立人脉look more impressive to potential employers.给未来的老板留下深刻印象attests to their level of maturity, responsibility and time management 证明他们的成熟程度、责任感和时间管理能力新托福写作范文素材配套题目(A/D) college students should be required to take part time jobs during their college study.新托福写作范文素材：旅行的好处1Relaxation:A great benefit of taking a tour is the relaxation you get to do.

Some people suggest it would benefit young students to be taught by different teachers. Do you agree with this view? Why or why not?1. When you need to complete a creative task, do you prefer to work together with others or to do it alone?Nowadays, whether individual should work as a team or finish tasks alone when dealing with some creative tasks is a prevalent topic undergoing serious debate. Two different opinions obviously exist to support and to oppose. Personally, I agree with the idea that working with a group of people is the best way to approach creative projects.The main reason for my propensity for the choice is that a group of people has a wider range of knowledge, expertise and skills than any single individual is likely to possess. As we all know, teammates in a team can learn something from each other because they are from different places, owning various experiences and hold different views towards things. The example of Tom, who is a computer programmer, can support my idea. He was assigned a task to create a phone game. At first, this project did not run smoothly because he did not have any experience on this kind of work. Then he consulted with his friends who had succeed in creating several phone games for help, through which Mike learned a lot including some useful ideas and methods. As a result, in this way, he could finish his task on time. Therefore, it is essential to assemble a group of people for completing a creative task.Another reason why I prefer to the statement lies in the fact that working with others is conducive to developing communication ability. This is because if people work in a group, he or she have to communicate with teammates about his or her ideas and plans, through which he orshe can learn some communication skills. This provides a good instance of my sister Mary, working as an advertising manager. She has to tackle numerous problems related to advertisement with her group members every day. At first, she did not know how to express her ideas to her teammates properly especially when some conflicts happened. However, after being a leader for 3 months, she learned some skills like listening to others carefully first and then giving her own ideas. As a result, she become a excellent leader who know how to communicate with others in a proper way. Therefore, it is significant to work together.Taking into account of all these factors, we may reach the conclusion that assembling a group of people to work together is a better approach to solving some creative tasks.2. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People would meet many problems in their daily life and they would solve them by themselves or from the help of their families; the help from the government is not necessary.Problems are inevitable in everyone’s life so that support, no matter practical aids or spiritual encouragement, is by no means dispensable. It is noticeably seen that in the face of difficulties, people are more likely to resort to themselves or acquaintances. However, this does not mean than the help from government is negligible. In other words, it is definitely important for the government to provide help forits citizens.First of all, the efficiency of solving problems can be substantially boosted by official assistance. To be specific, the government possesses absolute authority in legislation, supervision and regulation. Besides that, it can work collectively with different departments to support activities that benefit the public. For example, if pollutants caused by a given factory contaminate rivers, residents in the vicinity can report this case to the local government. It takes little imagination to predict that the government is bound to take measures to prevent the factory from releasing something less environment-friendly. Needless to say, the intervention of governments is more deterrent to the factory than the complaints from the public. In this sense, governments are well positioned to solve tricky public affairs.In addition, the society will be more harmonious with the availability of the aids given by the government. Obviously, it is unwise for the government to create an image that it is far more superior to other social organizations. Otherwise, the gap between governments and common citizens will be widened, which will further distance the authorities from people. As a matter of fact, official are public servants, which means that they ought to work diligently and productively to assist people when harsh time arrives or help disadvantageous people. Presumably, such dedication is also supposed to stimulate the public tobe wholeheartedly devoted to city construction and economic development.In a nutshell, the government definitely plays an irreplaceable role in building social harmony and easing people from anxiety. From the angle of the authorities, they are supposed to show people that they are always there to save them from troubles. After all, every individual deserves the right to gain official aids.3. When we make major purchase (for example, car or laptop), our decisions can be influenced by different sources of information. Explain how each of the following sources of information can influence your decision.(1) Recommendations from friends or colleagues(2) Information from media (for example, TV, magazines, newspapers)(3) Recommendations from sales person in the storeBuying things can be work. If you’re running on a budget like me, it’s always important to make as informed a purchase as possible. I try to consider several sources of information—salespeople, friends and colleagues, and media.The least useful of these three sources is recommendations from salespeople. This is because salespeople don’t always have your best interests in mind. I remember one time when I was hunting for a newtelevision a few years ago. I’d visited a number of large retailers, and at every single one, the salespeople had tried to sell me a more expensive TV than the one I wanted. I didn’t need all of the extra features these pricier TVs had—I just wanted something simple with an acceptable level of picture quality. But none of the salespeople were very helpful for finding something that fit my criteria. Since salespeople often make a commission for selling these types of devices, they probably won’t provide you with the most reliable information. But you can still consult them in the beginning if you’re lost.More useful are recommendations from friends and colleagues. They will be far more likely to give you an honest picture of what to expect from a product. I’ve made many small- to medium-sized purchases based on suggestions from these sources, and I’ve rarely regretted it. Someone who uses a product on a daily basis can tell you all its pros, cons, and quirks. For example, when I was looking to buy a pair of portable laptop speakers, I asked one of the IT guys in my office for ideas. He pointed me towards an affordable pair of USB speakers, but made sure to tell me that they worked poorly at high volumes because of the limited energy that USB ports can provide. Since I was only using the speakers for traveling, that was an acceptable trade-off for the excellent price, so I picked up a pair from the store.My go-to source of information for purchases is still from media,however. I think the internet is particularly useful for this. Pretty much anything you can buy has been reviewed by someone on the internet, so you’re not limited to the unreliable testimonies of salespeople or the limited range of products used by friends and colleagues. Not only that, but for the more popular products, there are usually tens if not hundreds of reviews, so you get a good idea of how reliable different manufacturers are. For instance, when I was in the market for a new laptop last year, friends recommended several models to me. Using review websites, I managed to eliminate many of them based on negative performance evaluations and customer testimonies about defects.It doesn’t hurt to consider all three sources of information. However, there’s a clear hierarchy when it comes to their usefulness. Salespeople are ok to start off with, but you’ll want to get some tips from friends and colleagues, and in the end, verify those tips online.4. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? As modern life becomes more complex, it is essential for young people to have the ability to plan and organize.Needless to say the ability to plan and organize has always been essential, however, these days the methods used to plan and organize our daily lives have changed. Our world has become more business oriented and being late is unacceptable in most social environments.Whether you are young or old there is no question that planning and organizing is essential, that being said I completely agree with the above statement.I was born in the late 80’s, and when I grew up I remember seeinga lot of people using small calendars to take notes, I also remember seeing a watch on almost everyone’s wrist. Those were the tools needed to stay organized in the past, no one would use their cell phone to plan anything because those functions were virtually non-existent.Unfortunately, as our society has evolved into a more materialistic and developed version of our past society, people have become too reliant on technology. For example, it has become virtually impossible to keep a conversation going between friends without someone fiddling with their cell phone or someone answering a phone call. Alarm clocks and other devices with power cords are basically non-existent and the use of wireless devices are on the rise.When we use our phone as our personal assistant there are way too many potential problems. Being late because the alarm didn’t go off due to our phones running out of battery and missing a meeting because we put something in our calendar and forgot about it are just two examples. Compared to in the past I would say that we have become more disorganized. In order to solve this issue. I believe that we need to start planning and organizing like we did in the past. Bring back the papercalendars with the big red circles marking important events and start using old-school alarm clocks that literally makes you jump out of bed at the moment it goes off!To conclude, having the ability to plan and organize is definitely an essential skill. In order to improve our ability to do that, we should become less reliant on technology and start using less convenient but more effective methods, or at least make sure that our phones are fully charged (or charging) when we go to bed.5. Which option do you prefer? Travel to foreign countries when you are young than when you are older. Give specific reasons or examples to support your decision.Globalization has made the world become smaller and the people from all over the world become closer. Many people show a desire to experience different natural and cultural environment in foreign countries. Traveling is usually their first choice. Although the cost may be high for the young, from my perspective, traveling to foreign countries in youth is better than at old age.To begin with, the young are going to obtain a richer life through traveling to foreign countries. The world is a stunning place, full of treasures for people to explore. Although the young may learn the magnificence of The Pyramids and The Louvre in books, their impression of them are just limited to pictures and verbal descriptions. Only whenthe young visit these places in person will the sites become part of their lives. If one wants to ride a bicycle across the Golden Gate Bridge in youth, but he fails to achieve the dream, he will live in regret for the rest of his life. On the contrary, if he achieves it, he will have many proud moments when he looks back on his life.Besides, traveling to foreign countries in youth helps the young to perform better in their future careers and studies. The charm of traveling lies in its unexpected adventures. The young may encounter all kinds of difficulties, but anything is possible as long as they have confidence and wills. Traveling to different countries will force the young to care for issues that are bigger than those in their daily lives. Compassion and love will arise in the heart of the young for the pain and suffering experienced by others. Deep and consistent connections may be created with those new friends who they meet during traveling. Along with the new friends during the trip, the young can listen to the sour, sweet, bitter or hot stories, talk to people with different personalities and acquire insights on their own lives.Granted, some people may argue that young people usually lack money and they are supposed to work hard. Retirement period is a good time to travel to foreign countries, because the senior could usually afford both the time and money. However, it’s worthwhile to invest money and sacrifice time into tasting various aspects of life in the worldas early as possible.In conclusion, it is highly rewarding to travel in foreign countries in youth and it is better to start earlier, for people won’t always be young. Instead of regretting at old ages due to poor physical conditions, it is better to travel in youth.6. Is it important for government to provide money for things that are beautiful than things that are practical?Government’s core function is to provide for health, safety, education and defense of its citizens. It may be tempting to argue that by focusing on things pleasing to behold, a government can harvest more support. I, however, believe this could be a bad idea. Eye-catcher projects can be no substitute for ones with practical purposes.Consider real estate. The recent decades have witnessed a boom in majestic mansions and skyscrapers on a global scale. While they are all pleasing to our eyes, quite a few boasts fashionably hallow designs taking up much space yet serving few practical purposes. Even so, governments still play along, funding projects and enforcing policies in the hope of a sound public image. However, all this could be in vain when the housing reality of the working class has become so harsh that few others would step up to fill the role. If the government could subsidize affordable housing, things would be a lot better for struggling college graduates. Studies have shown 60 percent of young people have to postpone their。

2021年英语四级写作模拟试题及答案（卷一）For thousands of years, people have accepted challenges in differentfields. There are not only physical challenges, but also social andintellectual challenges. Some people risk their lives in playing sports to see how well they can do. Others try to make and invent something to make life easier. They all enjoy challenges.Why do people enjoy these challenges? There are probably many reasons. One is curiosity. The other is the personal feeling of success, of achievement, and nowadays, for some people, it is a business.Today, we still have many challengers before us. Medical science faces the challenges of conquering many diseases which still attack human beings. Engineers and planners must build new cities, design and produce new kinds of transportation.

2021年托福写作模拟试题及答案(卷十六)
2021年托福写作模拟试题及答案（卷十六）It is often not a good thing for people to move to a new town or a new country because they will lose their friends.Many people have had the experience of moving from one place to another. Some feels it a bad thing because they will lose their old friends in the place they move from. In my view, however, it is anything but a bad thing. Not only will we keep in touch with our old friends, but we will make new friends as well.With the modern communicating technology, distance is never a barrier that keeps people from contacting others. Even if people to a new town or a new country, telephone, email and instant message will allow them to keep in constant touch with their old friends without any inconvenience. Take myself for example. When I entered college, I had to leave my hometown for Beijing, thus I was separated from my friends in my hometown. But I called them every weekend and we often chat online when we are both free. So distance did not make me lose touch with them at all.Furthermore, it could even be a good thing to move away for people and their old friends. Instead of becoming estranged from each other, they will miss each other and thus become even more intimate. Not having conflicts over trifles, people will appreciate the merits of their friends more. There is a saying that ‘distance makes the heart growsfonder’, which means that when people are separated by distance, they may like each other more. So distance is never a obstacle between friends.Moving to a new place allows people to make new friends, and that does not necessarily mean that people cannot maintain their old friendship. On the contrary, people can still stay in touch with their old friends, because one can never have too many friends. When it comes to my case, my old friends even came to be familiar with my new friends and they became friends before long.In conclusion, moving to a new town or a new country will not make people lose their old friends. Friendship is one of the most precious things that we have and deserves to be cherished by us all our life.Some people think that a university professor should focus time on doing research, while others think that the main role of a professor is to educate students in a university.What is the main role of a university professor, to educate students or to do research? Some people believe that professors should focus their time on doing research, but as far as I am concerned, it is educating that deserves more devotion of professors.To begin with, professors are teachers in universities, so it is their responsibility to teach students with absolute dedication and enthusiasm. University professors play an critical role in students’learningknowledge and the methods for learning, by giving lectures in class as well as assigning them tasks to do using what they have learned. A good professor should be someone who can teach well and is patient with students.In addition, taking education as the main responsibility does not mean that professors are not supposed to do research. On the contrary, those who have achieved success in research tend to be better teachers. Doing research allows professors to have a broader horizon, enabling them to seize the point of the science and technology today and to have a deep understanding of the knowledge they are going to teach. Furthermore, professors who do research well may offer their students better opportunities to do research in the field they study.Admittedly, there are scientists who cannot teach well but stand out in their specialized field. Rather than teaching and doing research at the same time, I believe that they should concentrate on their research and not take the position as professors. There are many people who are merely researchers and whose achievement in their specialized areas is without parallel. As for professor, this occupation should be left to those who can give quality lectures and help students to learn well.In conclusion, professors should regard educating students as their main responsibility and devote themselves to teaching. In today’s society, however, there are some professors who do not teach studentswith dedication. They focus on research merely for money, which will not only do harm to students’study, but will hinder the development of science as well.The most important problems affecting our society today could be solved within our lifetime.As the economy and technology develop at an incredible speed in today’s society, there are an increasing number of people believing that the most important problems affecting our society today could be solved within our lifetime. In my view, however, this is out of the question and the three most significant problems affecting the society, namely war, environmental destruction and disease, will still influence us and may not be entirely resolved forever.War is a problem afflicting humans since they took into being in the first place. Wars take place when different countries have conflicting benefits, which is unlikely to be eliminated as long as the boundaries between countries still exist. For instance, in the Middle East where water is extremely scarce, many countries are in conflict in contention for water resources. Since every country acts for the sake of its own benefit, it seems that people in the region are incapable of living together in harmony. Eternal world peace, therefore, is unlikely to be achieved in our lifetime.Environmental destruction emerged not long before but it isbecoming increasingly severe and can not be ignored. With the large-scale utilization of fossil fuels and rapid development of industry, huge amounts of pollutants are being produced, contaminating the environment to a large degree. The disposal of these pollutants being a tough task, it is hardly possible that we can completely get rid of them within a short period of time. Furthermore, even if we can come up with optimal methods for dealing with these substances, there remains the problem that these methods may cost too much and obstruct the development of economy.Last but not least, the well-being of people around the world is threatened by a variety of diseases, ranging from AIDS to cancer, the cures for which have not been discovered yet. Diseases set off panics among humans, affect their normal life and leave people badly off with the high medical expenses. There are thousands of scientists devoting themselves to finding cure for diseases, but new types of diseases keep emerging and there is no eliminating all of them.In summary, the problems with the most significance today are going to be passed on to our offspring. To eliminate these problems thoroughly, there is still a long way to go.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People will feel happier when they finish a challenging or difficult work than they finish an easy work.Sample:All of us have to deal with a lot of works on our daily routine. Some people work mostly on easy work while others have to confront with more challenging tasks. However, whatever types of work that we must accomplish on our daily basic, I believe that for the most part, people will feel happier and more satisfied when they finish difficult tasks with flying colors.First and foremost, it is a human instinct to try to complete tasks that seem to go beyond our limits. For instance, in the course of human history, there are a lot of people who try to climb the Everest or swim cross the Yellow River. Why they choose to do such arduous and dangerous tasks? I believe most of them will answer that completing these tasks gives them a greater level of pride and happiness than finishing their routine jobs.Secondly, unlike an easy work, not many people can complete a challenging one. Therefore, if people are successful in doing a challenging task, they will feel that they are more special and stand out from the rest. Moreover, difficult tasks are usually more rewarding ones. These can be convincing explanations for the greater amount of happiness people receive when they finish a difficult task.Last but not least, people often have to put greater efforts when doing a challenging work. In this process, they may even have to try tofind way to strengthen their weakness so that they can keep up with the hard work. Therefore, when a hard work is done, they gain much confidence in themselves and this can ultimately lead to happiness.In conclusion, people are often attracted by challenging tasks. They feel more confident, more rewarding and more special when they finish those tasks. That is why I think most of them will feel happier when they complete difficult tasks in their lives.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People with different interests and personalities cannot be friends.Sample:In modern society, every one has their own experience and personal qualities. I disagree with this statement that people who have different interests and personalities cannot be friends. The followings are my reasons.First of all, by sharing our diversified experiences, we can better solve a diversity of difficulties from different aspects. Sometimes we do not have enough ideas when we run into difficulties. If we can acquire many different opinions from others who have different views, it may help us and provoke more thoughts. For example, when I was a college student, I did not know how to enrich my social life; however, my roommate, John, gave me a lot of his experience about how to interact with other people; in addition, he invited me to join a lot of partiestogether. Therefore, he helped me meet more friends and enriched my social life.Furthermore, through making friends with people who have different interests and personalities, we can expand our horizons. Nowadays, we pay too much attention to our work in this high tempo era, especially in urban areas, so that we hardly have time or opportunity to develop new interests. Therefore, if we have friends with different interests, it may give us a chance to develop new interests. For example, my friend, Sam, always likes to hike on the weekends. He likes to invite me hiking together. I get a lot of fun.Last but not least, interacting with people who have different personalities, we learn how to handle different kinds of relationships. All people have their own qualities. However, sometimes people may not know how to handle different people's temper. Making friends with them allows us to have more time spent with them. Thus we may become more experienced in handling relationships. It helps us to learn how to become a good leader as well.For the reasons above, I disagree that people who have different interests and personalities cannot be friend.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Newspapers can truly help people understand the world events. Television news don' t provide enough information.Sample:Thanks to the rapid development in media sector, we now have more convenient access to the international affairs in all fields. Television and newspaper are both reliable sources of information, which provide a lot of benefits for people nowadays. However, some people hold the opinion that it’s newspapers that help people understand the world news rather than TV, since television usually can’t offer people enough information. As far as I’m concerned, both of these two media have their own advantages and disadvantages in covering news.Compared with television, newspaper is a more active way for people to think and understand, since it only passes information through published sentences and pictures, while television provides people with vivid news via sounds and moving scenes from the spot. As is known to us, experienced editors and reporters have already processed the published newspaper, so we can easily get the most important information from the objective reports which direct us to a better understanding of the events. My father usually reads Reference Messages and he likes to talk with me about the military affairs that are seldom seen from television or even other media. Therefore I agree with the statement that newspaper plays a quite important role in assisting people to comprehend various kinds of events.On the other hand, television news also has irreplaceable functionamong all the media. Seeing from the live programmes, we come to learn more about the serious conditions of the victims in the disaster areas. TV seems to bring us together with our family members. During the financial crisis, my family always gets together, sitting in front of the screen, listening to the analysis of the expert about the latest situation in economic trends. From these cases, it’s quite clear that, television not only furnishes us with a wide range of information, but also makes news transmit in a quick passage. Whereas, it’s nearly impossible for newspaper to offer people the up to date news, for the paper needs to experience several procedures to publish. This comes to the weakness of newspaper due to the limitation in speed. So, I take it for granted that television indeed is an effective and useful channel for people to get information.All in all, these two main sources of news both afford information in its unique way, and we can choose either of them based on our personal habits or what kind of news we want to gain.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? At present, people spend too much time doing things for their enjoyment rather than do the things they should do.Sample:The question of how our leisure time should be spent has been debated for many years. Many people feel that people today spend toomuch time on personal enjoyment, but I hold the opposite opinion. I feel this way for two main reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.First of all, people spend more time working than ever before, which means that broadly speaking, individuals are spending a lot of time doing things that they should be doing. Studies indicate that we spend more time at our offices than ever before, and the appearance of smart phones and internet access means that people could continue to work even when they are not being paid. My own experience is a compelling example of what I mean. I work for a large investment banking firm where my scheduled workday is from nine o’clock to five o’clock, but I actually average about eight hours of overtime every week.I do not do this because I enjoy it, but because I feel a sense of obligation to provide a service to my company. Everyone at my firm does the same thing. We often compare ourselves with our parents, who almost never worked overtime nor took weekend calls and e-mails from their bosses. It seems like the present generation emphasizes professional obligations over personal enjoyment.Secondly, it seems to me that many popular leisure activities include a self-improvement aspect, which means that even our hobbies fall into the realm of what we should be doing. One of the most popular pastimes these days seems to be long distance running, an activity which is also incredibly beneficial for our health. Another perfect example isthe way I spend most of my free time working out at a local gym. Although this is certainly enjoyable for me, part of the reason I do it is that it keeps me strong, healthy and fit. This makes me both a better family man and a better employee. I consider all of these to be things that I should be deeply concerned about.In conclusion, I am of the opinion that people today do not spend an inordinate amount of time doing things that they like to do. This is because people work longer hours than ever before, and because even our personal hobbies tend to involve an aspect of obligation.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Successful people accept new things and take risks rather than hold on to the things that they have done well.Sample:Views differ considerably when it comes to the issue of whether successful people are willing to try new things than doing what they have already known. Some people believe that since the world is changing, people have to find a way to fit in, while others think that doing things that one don't know may lead a disaster. Both of the opposite arguments appear to be somewhat convincing and stand to reason. But as far as I am concerned, I agree with the former idea, which is that people who are successful always try something different from what they knew. The following reasons will present my points.First of all, an exploration in different realms may lead success. Take Bill, the CEO of a Chinese cell phone company for example. He was barely an engineer in a traditional technology company. Once he noticed the raise of the smart phone market, he quit his job. Then, he started a company to develop smart phones, which are user friendly. With those high level phone companies like Apple, Samsung around, he decided to aim to the lower price market, which leads him to success.Second, when one fully devotes themselves to a different career, there is a high chance that they could dig out their potential and do it well. Take Jay Chou, a singer, for example. His songs are really fantastic, which lead to his success. However, he didn't stop. He shifted from being an actor to a director and he made a movie named Secret. It was well received in the market and was promoted to other countries. His fame spread to the Hollywood, which earned him a chance to play a role in "The Green Hornet".In conclusion, given the reasons described above, I firmly believe that successful people are open to unknown challenges and are willing to take risks. They make a difference to the world.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is more enjoyable to have a job that requires working long hours for three days in one week than to work shorter hours for five days a week.Sample:Nowadays, people are exposed to more pressure than ever before and it is increasingly important for people to appropriately arrange their work time. Whether to work three days a week for longer hours or five days a week for shorter hours has sparked a heated discussion. Speaking of me, I totally agree with that working five days a week for shorter hours is more enjoyable.First, working five days for shorter hours plays a significant role in the health of the employees. The reason is that, by working five days, employees can balance their work and life more appropriately, which definitely is beneficial to their health. For example, employees who work for shorter time a day can do exercises during his or her rest time. On the contrary, by working three days a week, employees should spend ten hours per work day, ruining their normal daily routine. Apparently, working five days a week is better than three days a week.In addition, another advantage of working five days is that it contributes a lot to efficiency. This is because with the time of continuous work increasing, efficiency will reduce. And if an employee works more than 8 hours a day, his efficiency will drop dramatically because of brain exhaustion. For instance, in order to finish a job efficiently, workers need enough attention and passion to engage in their jobs. However, a long time of work will consume most of their energy and patience, leading them to feel tired. As a result, they work lessefficiently compared with people working five days a week. Obviously, working five days will make it effective for people to finish their jobs.Admittedly, there are also minor advantages of working three days, including that workers can travel to other resorts during their 4-day vacation. For example, my neighbor who works three days a week always goes to see the famous scenery when he does not need to work. However, working five days gives rise to more conveniences and benefits.To sum up, although there are some minor advantages in working three days, I feel that the merits of working five days are more obvious. It not only enhances workers’health bur also improves their efficiency, making them better enjoy their jobs and lives. So I really believe that working five days is more enjoyable.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It's easier to identify what kinds of careers or jobs are secure and successful ones in the past than at present.Sample:In the modern era, everything is changing instantly, and so are jobs. What prevails today may soon be found outdated. So that I agree with the idea that it is harder to identify whether a career is secure and easy to maintain in contemporary age.Nowadays, it is harder to identify the meaning of success. In the past, people have a lower life quality. To them, a successful job meansthat the pay is enough to feed their family. However, nowadays to different groups of people, success varies largely. Perhaps for the businessmen, they are eager to get as many profits as possible, so success equates with money and social status. Meanwhile, for the scientists, what they want is probably the groundbreaking finding in their research field. Yuan Longping, one of the best Chinese agriculture scientists and a top expert of rice plant, is a good example. So people are having more diversified standard of successful jobs. People may not have a unified understanding of what makes a secure and successful job.As for the security of the job, in the past, people would do one job all through their lives and their sons and grandsons may carry on doing the same job. So we could infer that their jobs are secure. But nowadays as the economy develops, more kinds of jobs are offered, so people generally have more choices. They may work for others as employees, and the contacts they sign are valid for only a few years, which means they could lose their jobs when the contact expires. Even secure jobs like the bank clerks would face the risk of being unemployed if an economy crisis should happen. Thus the security of one job could not be easily judged.All in all, it can be concluded that it is harder to identify whether a career is secure and successful nowadays. The rapid development of society offers more job opportunities but one can never say they havefound a life-long secure and successful job.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

The rapid development of society offers more job opportunities but one can never say they have found a life-long secure and successful job.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? We need to have different sources of news and information to know which one is the real one or who is telling the truth.Sample:The ability of independent thinking is treasured nowadays. Lazy modern people tend to be misled by some single-sourced news, because the same event can be reported in different versions, which may either agitate public anger or reassure their anxiety. Therefore, limited information will encumber people to dig the truth. In my point, grasping varies sources of news are the cornerstone to explore and identify thereality.We are in the maze. The seemingly shortcut to the truth may be the deliberate pitfall. To bury the truth or cover the crime, the government will control the public opinions and exert influences on people. So the sole source of news is not trustworthy. For example, in North Korea, numerous dissidents are being muzzled by the leader. Kim Jong Eun cuts the connection to the outside world and instills his extreme thought to citizens, making them believe that they are the “happiest men”in the world. Under such totalitarianism, it is difficult for people to know their real life. But there are still some people who can secretly surf the Internet, knowing their life and the truth of their nation from CNN or BBC. An increasing number of citizens are escaping from North Korea currently. That exemplifies how different sources of news help people to find the truth.Although diverse sources of news may perplex people, they are the cornerstones for in depth truth-exploring. Different sources of news provide different perspectives toward the same events. By comparison of the news, we can survive from the overwhelming information. For example, Reuters, Times and The Wall Street Journals, they chose different points to report the Mh370 accidents. Finding the contradictions and common points in these reports, we can ensure that the plane has deviated its airline and the oil had been consumed up. Butwhether the plane exploded or directly sank into the sea needs further information.Admittedly, it is time-consuming to collect the information and analyze them. For example, in order to find the truth of WWII, historians have to search not only the formal history but also countless unofficial history. But the project is worth conducting because the truth is all that we chase for our life. Conscientious people want to know whether their country was at fault for the war; many dead people urged for a fair judgment of their life. So we need abundant information to find the truth.In sum, the more diversified sources of news we get the truth, the closer we are to the truth.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Professional athletes who receive high salaries, such as football or basketball players, deserve what they have got.Sample:There is a public controversy today over the issue of whether professional athletes who receive high salaries deserve what they get. Those who object the opinion argue that it is not fair for ordinary people, but advocates of the position frequently proclaim that these celebrities deserve what they deserve. As far as I concerned, I tend to agree with the latter one. As the saying goes: "The more ploughing and weeding,。

202*年4月1日托福考试综合写作：
1、考题出现时间：202*-6-8NA
阅读材料：
1)轻微的颜色差异：第一次非常白，第二次微白;
2)相隔太远：两次相隔了1500mile，他们在岸边不会走这么远;
3)年龄估计：第一次估计是20岁，那就意味着第二次得要30岁，科学家表示不太可能，我没太能弄懂这个的意思，但是就是这么说的。
听力材料：反驳
1)这个生物生活的地方会长貌似是藻类alga,然后这个藻类不同季节的生长情况不太一样。
不同季节会对这个动物的颜色有一定的影响，有可能白还是不白时候是被这个藻类覆盖了;
2)这个生物按生活习性分为两类，一类是hunting，一类是fishing，有可能被发现的是fishing的，它待在冰上，随着冰漂移2000mi也是很容易滴，所以在这两个地方发现同一个是很有可能的;
3)年龄有可能被预估错误了，这个生物到20岁以后就没啥变化了，20岁和30岁长得很像的。
科学家认为是20岁，万一是25捏?反正就是年龄预估这事不靠谱。
2、考题出现时间：202*-3-28CN
