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?

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,。
2021年托福写作模拟试题及答案(卷四)
2021年托福写作模拟试题及答案（卷四）Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? A person should never make an important decision alone. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.托福写作范文：Important decisions are those that will have a significant or lasting impact on a person's life. Oftentimes such a decision is difficult to make because the consequences are considerable or because the decision's circumstances and implications are complex. As a result, people will consult friends and family for their opinions to get a better understanding of the situation. Seeking advice is helpful because it helps to avoid pitfalls and precludes carelessness, but in the end the person who has to live with the decision should make it by himself/herself. Discussing important decisions with others can be beneficial, especially if the person one is conferring with has experience with the problem at hand. For example, in order to be able to decide between continuing one's education after finishing four years of university studies and finding a job, it is helpful to talk to people who have made this decision. A person who decided to find gainful employment will probably give different advice than a person who decided to stay in school. Listening attentively to both will allow a person to make the best assessment of his/her own situation as he/she will be able to learn from others'experiences. At the same time, one should consider the opinions and feelings of the people who will be impacted by his/her decision. For example, husband and wife should confer with each other before making up their mind to quit or change a job. After all, the change of a job can impact many aspects of their life together, such as the household income or the amount of time they can spend together. However, one should not allow or even ask others to make an important decision on one's behalf. After all, he/she will be the one with all the information at his/her disposal, especially after seeking advice from others. Ultimately, the person who has to live with the decision (in so far as it is a personal decision that does not affect others directly in a significant way) should take complete responsibility and make it himself/herself.托福写作模拟试题库What are the important qualities of a good son or daughter? Have these qualities changed or remained the same over time in your culture? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.托福写作答案In traditional Chinese society, a person's most important relationship was that between a parent and a child. The only measure of whether a child was good or bad was whether or not they were obedient to their parents' wishes. Traditionally a Chinese family had many children. Boys were expected to go to school and, after they grew up, to have ason of their own, and to manage the family's affairs. When his parents grew old, a son was expected to live with and care for them. A girl's parents would usually arrange her marriage to someone who she did not love and without consulting her. After she was married, she was no longer a part of her biological family; instead she became an adopted daughter of her husband's family and had to respect her husband's parents as she would her own parents. She was also expected to bear her husband a son. A child who broke these norms, defied or disrespected their parents was seen as worthless or immoral at best, and could legally be killed by their parents in extreme cases. Today of course, China is very different. Chinese children are still expected to respect their parents, but society is not as conservative as it used to be. When a Chinese son gets married, he will often prefer not to live in the same house with his parents, although he might still feel quite obligated to care for them in their old age. The greatest strides have been made by Chinese women, who now hope that their daughters grow up to marry someone that they love, and who is able to take good care of them. The major revolution in the Chinese family since 1980s has been the introduction of the one-child policy. Since Chinese families are now usually only allowed to have one child, the roles of parent and child have almost been reversed! Today's children in China, while still expected to treat their parents with respect, have become the "little emperors andempresses" of their families. Many "little emperors" are so doted on by their immediate and extended families that they become very spoiled, demanding toys, candy, and attention all day long. Because of the changing structure of the Chinese family, the bonds between parent and child, while still of primary importance, are characterized less by rules and respect and more by love.托福写作模拟试题库Some people prefer to work for a large company. Others prefer to work for a small company. Which would you prefer? Use specific reasons and details to support your choice.托福写作答案While some people enjoy the relative comfort, stability, and prestige of working at a large company, I prefer to live life on the edge. Given the choice, I would much prefer to work at small company where I could have more responsibility, more excitement, closer relationships with my coworkers, and a greater sense of accomplishment than I could have at a big company. If I worked at a large company, my role at the company would be highly specialized and narrowly defined. At a smaller company everyone has to take on extra responsibilities to make the business work. For instance, if I worked at a small computer software company as a programmer, I might not only program, but also have to make trips to potential clients for sales. At a large company, the salesdepartment would talk to clients, and I would be stuck in the same boring routine every day with less responsibility. I might less in touch with what the clients wanted if my responsibilities were limited to programming. I crave excitement, so the idea of working for a small company particularly suits me. While working at a large company can offer more job security, workers don't usually get any of the annual profits. But if you work for a small company, profits are more likely to be shared at the end of the year. This means that the harder you work, the more potential there is to make a large amount of money. It is also especially gratifying when you can see how your hard work helped to build or save the company, a feeling of accomplishment that is difficult to attain when working in a large company. Finally, working together in a small company creates a sense of special closeness between colleagues. You have to both trust and depend on each other for everything. This closeness is not only between people within the company but can also extend to your clients and suppliers, all of whom you can get to know on a first name basis. Business deals become less impersonal and more pleasurable when you work with people you trust and like. This trust is both deeper and easier to build when you work for a smaller company. 托福写作模拟试题库People work because they need money to live. What are some other reasons that people work? Discuss one or more of these reasons.Use specific examples and details to support your answer.托福写作答案One of the most overlooked reasons why people work is to help other people. Government officials, social and charity workers, and religious organizations, and others all work not only for their own salaries, but also work for the common good. They labor for others because of their moral convictions, for reasons of personal reciprocity, and because they want to make society more stable, thereby benefiting themselves and others. Some of the most famous charity workers in the world have been affiliated with religious groups. For instance, many of the foreigners living in the poor regions of Africa are doctors, teachers, and other professionals who are paid by religious organizations to help the poor, sick, and needy people there. These professionals could make much more money if they worked in rich countries. They have chosen to help poor people because they believe their religion tells them to help people who cannot help themselves. They are working for others for moral or religious reasons. Some people work for other people because at some time in their lives, someone else has helped them. Many teachers can tell stories about a particular teacher who changed their lives. The gift a great teacher gave to them inspired them to become teachers themselves. Likewise, many people become doctors because a doctor saved one of their family member's life and they felt like theyowed a debt of gratitude that money could not repay. To such people, the motivation for working is not the paycheck at the end of the month, but the smile on a child's face when they read their first book, or the look of joy on new parents' faces when they see their healthy newborn baby. Finally, some people work for others because they believe that society is only safe and stable when all of its members are happy. These people include good government officials who try to make policies that benefit the poorer classes of society. They know that only by making policies that help poor people live richer, happier lives can they lower crime, sickness, and poverty rates, and make society safer and happier for all citizens.托福写作模拟试题库Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Face-to-face communication is better than other types of communication, such as letters, email, or telephone calls. Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.托福写作答案While many modern forms of communication like phone calls, email, and letters, are extremely convenient, in my opinion, nothing beats speaking to another person face-to-face. Face-to-face conversation is the ultimate form of human communication because it is interactive, and allows a broader range of possibilities for communication in theintricacies of tone of voice, body language, and can add the intimacy of touch. The first and most obvious advantage that face-to-face communication has over a letter and email is that there is the ability for an interactive conversation. If the sender of a letter or an email does not write clearly, or the recipient does not understand part of the correspondence, then much time must be spent to clear up the misunderstanding. In a face-to-face conversation, misunderstandings are easily dealt with because of the immediate and interactive nature of a face-to-face conversation. The argument might be made that telephones and instant messaging services like MSN and ICQ are equally viable formats for interactive conversation, with the added benefit of being available over long distances. I would still argue that face-to-face conversation is better because you can see the other person. Not all communication is verbal; the meaning of much of what we say depends on our body language and tone of voice. Joking and irony are particularly difficult to express, identify, and enjoy without seeing the expression on someone's face, or watching the movements of their body. Finally, if the goal of communication is to maintain or deepen a relationship with someone, business partners, friends, husbands and wives, or parents and children, face-to-face communication offers the option of communication by touch that is unavailable even if we could communicate by video. Trust and respect between businesses partnerscan be established with a firm handshake. No amount of body language can convey the excitement of a high-five between friends, and no number of words can communicate the comforting embrace of a loved one. Touch is the first foundation of our human relationships, before spoken language, and it is only available when people communicate face to face.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: A person’s job has more effects on his or her happiness than this person’s social life does.同意前者1. 一个人工作上有成就，表明他是非常有能力的一个人。

2021年托福写作模拟试题及答案（卷十）Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.(好句)But the devotees of the Goddess of Luck do not mean this at all. They hold that some men are born lucky and others unlucky, as though some Fortune presided at their birth; and that, irrespective of all merits, success goes to those on whom Fortune smiles and defeat to those on whom she frowns. Or at least luck is regarded as a kind of attribute of a man like a capacity for arithmetic or games.Advertising and its EffectsIn today's society, one must consider - Is there any advantage of advertising? In many cases, it is only disadvantage - an annoying hindrance in our daily lives. It gets on our nerves, distorts the truth, and adds to the cost of the product. Advertising is designed for one purpose - to sell. To achieve this goal, advertises are willing to stretch and distort the truth, just to convincing people to buy their product. For example, an advertiser may convince buyers to purchase their product by stating that has been tested and found superior. In reality, the product is not likely to be better than any other - the tests themselves doubtlessly conducted by the promoting company - conducted to ensure at least something is superior about the product, even if it is only the color. These advertisements are worded carefully so that they are telling the "literal truth" - the truth is exactly what the words say, although peoplemisinterpret the message by using conversational logic as something different - something better. By using ingenious tactics like these, the populace is deceived into buying a product that may not do what is required, or a product that a buyer may have never really needed. This is why advertising is a bad thing, for our society.Advertising is used to promote goods, services, images, and anything else that advertisers want to publicize. It is becoming a major part of mass media. At times, we may view it positively, at other times we may just skip or ignore it. In order to attract audience, advertisers use various techniques on their advertisement to make people aware of the firm's products, services, or brands. Although the methods used by advertisers are infinitely, they have a common goal to persuade those who may become their customers to buy their products.

2021年托福写作模拟试题及答案(卷一)
2021年托福写作模拟试题及答案（卷一）Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Boys and girls should attend separate schools. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.托福写作范文：In my country, China, many people in a sense live in a ridiculous culture where young boys and girls should never say "love" to each other. Moreover, it is absolutely a shame that such affairs happen in campus. To avoid alleged shame or danger of it, some people assert that boys and girls should attend separate schools.The point is, is there anything wrong when a little boy says "I love you" to a little girl? Gone are the days when "love" was a forbidden word in our culture, it has now, nevertheless, actually quite different connotations from that of the word in western society. It can be seen that people in Hollywood movies often say "I love you" to almost everyone naturally, readily and easily, including friends, family members, partners in work, even an unknown taxi driver! But in China, not surprisingly, many people have never said "I love you" to their parents, even seldom to their mates or children. "Love", in Chinese word, does in fact carry subtle connotations related to immoral affairs.It seems not a problem of is there anything wrong, but one of there must be something wrong if a teenager dares to say anything about"love!"Even if there must be something wrong when a teenager falls into love, is it something so appalling even evil that adults have to take action to prevent or even fight? Did we ever discover any prudent evidence which clearly prove it is really something bad? Hardly. It is in fact quite natural that a little boy admire a beautiful girl or a little girl feels a smart boy appealing. And such emotions do not harm anything. Alleged "puppy love" simply is a nonsense concept invented by ignorance. Girls and boys actually do not even know what love is!Perhaps they merely imitate behaviors of adults around them. What we adults should do is not to make them believe "love" is evil, but to teach them what true love really means. Regrettably, those adults never realize that they actually fail to assume their responsibility, but presumptuously believe they are capable of eliminating Jove among boys and girls by separating them into different school. It will never work. Separate school once was one of evil signs of discrimination of women, but today reemerges to prevent "love affairs" among teenagers—a high school in Beijing recently announced that it has already separated girls from boys into different classes. I can hardly imagine any benefit that such a scheme could produce except for further distortions of teenagers' natures.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Childrenshould begin learning a foreign language as soon as they start school. Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.托福写作范文：More and more international corporations build their business in my country, China. At the same time, more parents tell their children that English is one of necessities to be successful in the future.Students work so hard to master English that English learning related publications have always been on the top of the best-seller list.It seems clear that one will be better off if he/she is a bilingual, and if the second language is English, even better! However, learning a foreign language must have been painful, since people are continuously creating all sorts of methods and suggestions on how to learn it more easily, more quickly, and more efficiently. Some people propose that children should begin learning English as soon as they start school. But would it really work? Hardly.It seems true that children have natural amazing ability to develop their language skills. Statistic figures show that a 6-year-old boy can virtually memorize nearly as many as 150 words a day! But things become different when the child is learning a foreign language. When children are learning their mother tongue, they are not alone, and they are learning with numerous handy aids around. Parents, friends, and all the people around them are talking the same language, without anygrammar error and nearly uniform intonation and pronunciation.However, when they are learning a foreign language, all of those natural aids disappeared. And words become really foreign and abstract after they leave classes. And even worse, their teacher might have a bad accent or even wrong pronunciation. Some may adduce children in Luxembourg as evidence, but the point is that almost all parents in that place are trilingual!Learning a foreign language well involves much more than merely memorizing handful vocabulary or several grammar rules. If a girl is able to say hello in a standard American accent, does that really mean she has learned a second language well, or she will go so far as to be a linguist? In fact, learning a foreign language in some sense is beyond the capacity of children, especially as little as first grade pupil, for language is used to express thoughts and ideas, both of which are naturally cultural and historical, and are sometimes too complex for children to comprehend. After all, learning earlier doesn't automatically guarantee learning quicker or better.A foreign visitor has only one day to spend in your country. Where should this visitor go on that day? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your choice.托福写作范文：China is an enormous country with an intensely varied landscape. Ifa foreign visitor were coming for just one day to see our country, it would be difficult to choose just one place to spend the day.However, I posit that the best place in China to visit would be Beijing. As the capital city, Beijing offers a diverse look at China. I would suggest that the main sites to see would be the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and Tiananmen Square. The Forbidden City offers the visitor a look at what it was like to live in historical China.The Forbidden City is located in the heart of Beijing, and is the biggest palace complex in the world. This particular site would be of interest to a tourist because it was once the home of many emperors. One can see the actual rooms from whence the ancient China was ruled by the emperors. When the visitor walks through the palace confines, he/she will see many examples of classic Chinese architecture. A walk through the gardens is particularly peaceful with jasmine trees abound.The Great Wall is also a must-see in China. The people of China hold the Great Wall as having particular significance to their culture because of its long history. The wall, built of dirt, stone and brick, was used as a defense barrier against invading nomads and wandering tribes. This is the largest engineering and building project ever carried out by humans. Its historic and strategic importance is matched only by its architectural significance.Finally, Tiananmen Square should be on the list of things to seewhile visiting Beijing. This square is one of the largest in China, and possibly in Asia. At this square, one can visit the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, one of the greatest leaders ever in China. The Chinese Revolutionary Museum and the Chinese History Museum stand to the east of the square, the Great Hall of the People to the west and the magnificent Tiananmen Tower to the north. As the visitor will see, there are numerous interesting exhibits at Tiananmen Square that offer up a variety of Chinese heritage.Of course, it is very difficult to name one city in China over all others as "the place" to visit. China is the host to such a wide variety of beautiful places, and a visitor really should spend much more time exploring them all. However, with only one day, I believe that Beijing is the best place to visit.Some people say that the Internet provides people with a lot of valuable information. Others think access to so much information creates problems. Which view do you agree with? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.托福写作范文：The Internet is a great invention be cause it disseminates information freely. Freedom of information is in the interest of a country and its citizens, but, in light of the information anarchy on the Internet, people need to learn and understand how to evaluate and use theinformation they find at their fingertips.The Internet promotes freedom of information and freedom of speech, which are integral part of a successful modern democratic society. With innumerable news sources at their disposal citizens have the opportunity to educate themselves, and this knowledge will allow them to contribute to the progression of their society.Similarly, the ability to consult different viewpoints, especially those diverging from their own, will allow people engage in meaningful dialogue with other citizens. The result of this continued discourse will be a more open minded and also tolerant society. As a vehicle of communication the Internet will connect people of the same interests and the same concerns. Thus connected citizens will be encouraged to work together and they will become active participants of society rather than passive subjects.Critics of the Internet's free flow of information are concerned that people will fall victim to bad or rather incorrect information and act on it. This concern is warranted in so far that the Internet is intrinsically anarchic, and anybody with a computer can create Website and post information thereon. As a result, it can be very difficult to determine what information is correct or reliable and which is not. However, difficult as it may seem, there are ways that one can navigate the information jungle of the Internet and arrive at conclusions. In order todo so one has to learn to valuate sources of information. For example, the Website of a research scientist at a major university or that of a well-known non-profit organization is a more reliable source of information than the personal Website of a senior school student. Which would you choose: a high-paying job with long hours that would give you little time with family and friends or a lower-paying job with shorter hours that would give you more time with family and friends? Explain your choice, using specific reasons and details.托福写作范文：I am optimistic that through my studies and continued hard work I will be able to find a job that will provide my future family and me with financial security. We should be able to afford the necessities of life, such as a modest home, enough food to nourish us and keep us in good health, as well as education for our children. Hopefully, I will find myself in the fortunate situation where I can decide between a high-paying job with long hours and a lower-paying job with shorter hours. I would choose the job with the lower salary and greater personal time without hesitation, because my family and friends are the most important things in my life.Time is the greatest investment I can make into the relationships with my wife and my children. A marriage is not just a decision one makes but a promise that one keeps. In order to do so one has to bethere for the other person and share moments of joy as well as times of difficulty. Nowadays, too many relationships wither away as the partners are unable to work out their problems or bond through meaningful experiences. Personal careers become too important and family time becomes a rare occurrence.The absence of one parent, due to professional career or divorce, can have a very negative effect on a child's development. The child might question his value to father or mother (depending on which one is continually absent) and develop low self-esteem. Without the presence of either or, worse, both parents, the child will be more likely to make bad decisions as he is lacking proper guidance. And there is one point should also be mentioned, i.e. neither expensive toys nor fancy clothes can compensate for this.Lastly, I can derive more pleasure from spending time with my friends than I ever could from driving a sports car or taking luxury vacations. The inner peace and balance that I enjoy from their company are invaluable to me. Also, a million dollars in the bank would be worth nothing if I didn't have the time to enjoy these riches with my friends. Describe a custom from your country that you would like people from other countries to adopt. Explain your choice, using specific reasons and examples.托福写作范文：My favorite custom from Chinese culture that I wish that other countries would adopt is "Respect the Old, Love the Young." These two ideas have been part of traditional Chinese culture for thousands of years, but they are more important than ever in contemporary Chinese culture. If adopted by Western countries, these two traditional attitudes could help them solve some of their social problems.One major problem in many Western countries is what to do with old people when they can no longer take care of themselves. A Chinese family will often have three generations of one family living under the same roof. They love and respect the older generation, and consider them wise. Western people believe that living with one's own parents is inconvenient and embarrassing. Instead of respecting old people, some think that they are stupid and ugly.When Western families' parents get old, they would rather send them into nursing homes and retirement homes than live together with them. Only old and sick people live in these places and they are considered depressing, in the worst cases they might seem like a prison to their inhabitants. Old people in the West would be much happier if they adopted these traditional Chinese attitudes.Juvenile delinquency is another serious social problem in Western cultures. Its causes can also be traced back to a lack of respect for old people and love for young people. Children are not taught to respect thewishes of their parents and instead value their relationships with their friends more. Because in many Western families both parents have jobs outside of the home, children often lack adequate supervision. Chinese families, by contrast, often have at least one parent, or a grandparent at home to take care of and love the children. Children without proper guidance and love from a young age might start to smoke, drink, use drugs, and commit crimes. This occurs much less frequently in China because people pay more attention to their children and have the children's grandparents nearby to help raise them.The West puts the "Individual" before the "Family". Traditional Chinese culture puts the interests of the Family first, and the Individual second. Chinese mothers and fathers place higher value on their child's development, than on their child's independence. Children place a higher value on then-parents' happiness than on their own convenience. While there are many excellent lessons that Chinese people can learn from the West, Western people would do well to learn from these essential Chinese traditions.Your city has decided to build a statue or monument to honor a famous person in your country. Who would you choose? Use reasons and specific examples to support your choice.托福写作范文：If my city has decided to build a statue to honor a famous person inmy country, I would choose a late singer, Teresa Teng. She was born in 1950s, and died of a severe asthma attack at age 41 in May 1995 while holidaying in Chiang Mai, Thailand, triggering an outpouring of grief among her legions of fans in Asia and elsewhere. During her brilliant stage career, favored by fans all over Asia, she moved millions of people. Her famous songs include "sweet", "story of small town", and "the moon represents my heart", etc. It was said that it was her who introduced several generations in China to a certain field of popular music.Her songs have accompanied the growth and development of many people in China. In the home of these generations' soul, her sweet voice has become immortal beauty and memory. Although she's gone, her sound of singing has never vanished. She is constantly commemorated; from Beijing to Taipei, Hong Kong to Singapore, her ubiquitous fans observe her commemoration from time to time, cherishing her incredible beauty, and her voice that sounds to come from heaven. Her sweet songs made her a legend, and are still regularly heard on radio, and continue to have a following in Chinese communities all over the world.She should be remembered not only because of her beauty and voice, but also because of her great charity. She founded "Teresa Teng Foundation" during her lifetime. The purpose of the foundation is to cultivate and support gifted artists, and at the same time the foundationincludes a trust to distribute scholarship to make sure that art students have opportunities to accomplish what they actually can. Every year, The Teresa Teng Foundation also send a great amount of money as a charity to help homeless children. And these activities are supported by her fans all over the world.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Boys and girls should attend separate schools.

Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.托福写作范文：Through modern technology such as TV, telephone, and theInternet, it has become easier for people from different cultures to communicate. In a sense the world has become a smaller place. However, it is questionable if technology is creating a single world culture, because, even though a cultural exchange is taking place, accessibility of this technology is still very limited, and, more importantly, people have come to value the differences inherent in their cultures.People around the world are taking advantage of the opportunities, presented by modern technology, to learn about other cultures. Not only foreign movies, music, and books communicate with the locals, but the different cultural values do, which are readily available on DVD, CD and via the Internet. Similarly, TV broadcasts fashions across the world and a new style of dress will likely catch on quickly in different parts of the globe. People adopt foreign things they like and make them their own. In this sense cultural assimilation is taking place.However, while some societies and their cultures are technologically advanced and thus connected with other parts of the world, the majority of the world's population lives largely isolated. Such isolation is the result of limited technological resources, which in turn is, generally, related to poverty. For example, nearly the entire continent of Africa is impoverished. Its people have few means to learn about other cultures, and even if they did they would have little use for Western culture, which to a great extent is a consumer culture. They are also extremely limitedin the ways they can educate people from other parts of the world about their cultures.Finally, people who are learning about foreign cultures generally come to appreciate and accept the differences between other cultures and their own. They recognize the value of variety. The enjoyment they derive from experiencing foreign languages, dances, songs, visual and culinary arts, also allows them to see the value in their own cultures' achievements. Therefore, cultural exchange does not necessarily result in the melting of many cultures into one.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Advertising can tell you a lot about a country. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.托福写作范文：Advertising does not mean to educate or illustrate. Primarily it is a vehicle for business and it aims to sell products. As a result, the information we can gather from looking at advertisings is quite limited. However, the cultural ideas used to sell commodities reveal a society's value system, and from the nature of the advertising and the product it aims to sell we can draw conclusions as to which social demography might be the most affluent.In order to be most effective an advertising campaign will make use of the cultural values of a country. Obviously, companies will be able to。

2021年托福写作模拟试题及答案(卷五)
2021年托福写作模拟试题及答案（卷五）It has recently been announced that a large shopping center may be built in your neighborhood. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.托福写作范文：While the proponents of the plan to build a large shopping center in my community believe that it will aid economic development, I think that it will possibly do irreparable harm to our neighborhood. The proposed shopping center will damage existing businesses, provide inferior products, and destroy the environment of our peaceful community.Research indicates that companies with less than 50 workers employ more people and generate more revenue as a percentage of a nation's GDP than large-scale corporations. This is true in America, where small businesses are considered the engine of the economy, as it is in our community where many people own and operate small shops. Large stores can buy large quantities of goods at wholesale prices. While local grocery, that cannot buy products in bulk, will be unable to compete. Once the competition is gone, the large store can raise its prices and lower its employee's wages. This classic example of exploitative monopoly capitalism impoverishes a community while enriching a small number of people.The goods sold at the shopping center would be mass produced and necessarily of inferior quality to the handcrafted local goods and freshly grown local produce. Cheap products like plastic furniture would lack the character and local flavor of traditional wooden furniture made right here in our town. Cheaply mass-produced food,laden with pesticides and chemical preservatives, would crowd out the healthier, fresher, and tastier local produce on the shelves of the large shopping center. Low prices from the large store might tempt local consumers to eat less healthy food, endangering the health of local people as well as harming the incomes of local farmers and shopkeepers.Lastly, I must point out that a large shopping center might bring unwelcome development to our small community. Ugly and noisy roads and parking lots would need to be constructed. The volume of people wanting to buy things at the new shopping center would worsen the traffic situation, which is already bad. Pollution from cars and trucks already has a notably degrading effect on the local air-quality and this is also bound to become worse as the traffic to and from the shopping center increases.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?The use of devices that can be connected to the internet, like computers, phones and ipads, should be prohibited from the classroom.参考范文I disagree with the statement that the use of devices that can be connected to the internet should be prohibited from the classroom because I think that under the correct circumstances, they can be valuable learning tools.I would like to qualify my stance by saying that there are certain times when devices with internet access should not be used, and that it is perfectly reasonable for a teacher to set limits. For example, students need to respect their teacher and should not be searching for information or texting friends during lectures. This is just an extension of basic etiquette such as not talking while someone else is. Another time when access to devices might be limited is during tests when the student is expected to recall answers or solve problems without the assistance of the internet.Taking such restrictions into consideration, I feel that otherwise devices with internet access can enrich the classroom experience. First, they can allow for a wider variety of programming to appeal to more students. Rather than just listening to lectures, students can try educational games, communicate with students in other states or countries, or other activities that engage rather than bore them. Teachers can develop practical activities and lessons that integrate themes and media that the students are interested in. If students are interested, the end result will be a better grasp of the subject andretention of the details.Furthermore, devices with internet access are now an integral part of modern society, so learning to use them effectively is essential. Therefore, if such devices are allowed in the classroom, the teacher can demonstrate how they can be used properly and effectively. For instance, a student may already know how to do a search for information, but a teacher can offer ways to improve the efficiency of a search. Moreover, a teacher can emphasize why some sources are considered valid whereas other sources should not be used. In other words, students can gain more insight into the capabilities of internet-access devices and the value of information posted on the internet.Since devices that have internet access are becoming ubiquitous, students need to learn how to use them effectively. The devices also can engage students to make learning more fun or interesting, so they remember the material better. Therefore, I think that with certain exceptions such as during lectures, internet-access devices should be allowed in the classroom.词句积累qualify X's stance 修正X的立场basic etiquette 基本礼仪a wider variety of 更为广泛的appeal to 吸引a grasp of 掌握gain insight into 洞察，了解internet-access 互联网接入engage to 致力于certain exceptions 某些例外纠错评论责编：examwkk上一篇:2018年托福写作模拟试题：学好数理化下一篇:没有了温馨提示：因考试政策、内容不断变化与调整，中华考试网提供的以Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Students should learn subjects that will be useful in a future job, including math, science, technology, and engineering, even if they are interested in other subjects.参考范文I strongly agree with the statement that students should learn subjects that will be useful in a future job, including math, science, technology, and engineering, even if they are interested in other subjects.Foremost, math, science, technology, and engineering prepare students with the basic skills needed not only for a job, but for life in general. Those subjects are foundational for learning to solve practical, everyday problems. For example, math is needed to create a workingbudget for a household’s income and expenses. A knowledge of engineering can help a person do simple repairs on a home rather than call in a handyman and pay significantly more to have the job completed. Therefore, students should learn the subjects to help with situations that arise in the future, even if they do not feel that the subjects are applicable for their intended jobs.In addition, it is impossible to know what the future will bring. Even if a student is not now interested in a career that heavily relies on certain subjects, he or she may end up in such a career in the future. Job descriptions change, and people change jobs. By learning foundational subjects, students are better prepared to deal with changes in their working environment and are more marketable as employees. If a student does not have certain basic skills, it greatly limits what the student is able to do in the future. An employer would prefer to see at least an introductory level of math, science, technology, and engineering that the employee can build upon rather than hire a person with no exposure to such skills at all.Furthermore, if a student has no interest in foundational subjects, then the student is less likely to have casual experiences using the subjects outside of the classroom. A student who is interested in technology, for example, is likely to have a hobby such as computer programming, and such a hobby contributes to the development of adeep understanding of the subject. That student can apply things learned from the hobby to complete tasks in a future job. On the other hand, a student with no interest in technology is at a serious disadvantage because he or she does not have any experience to draw upon at all.Therefore, I think it is important for all students to take classes related to the sciences, math, technology, and engineering. That way, the students are better equipped to take on any job and to solve problems in everyday life.词句积累prepare X with Y 为X 准备Yincome and expenses 收支be applicable for 可应用到an introductory level of 基础的，入门级的build upon 建立，依赖foundational subjects 基础学科at a serious disadvantage 处于非常不利的地位draw upon 利用be better equipped to 有能力去做Do you agree or disagree with the statement. The best way for a teacher to help students become interested in a subject is to explain that subject will help them outside school.参考范文I do not agree with the statement that it’s the best way for teachers to help students become more interested in a subject by explaining how this subject can help students live better outside of the school. Instead, I think it is best to engage students by giving practical demonstrations that make the students want to learn more.I do agree that students will be more inclined to become interested in a subject if they know that it is helpful outside of school. For example, I had no interest in geometry until I tried making my first quilt, Then I realized how practical geometry was for calculating measurements of the blocks and the amount of fabric that I needed to buy. Once I learned how useful the subject could be, I was much more involved in math class at school. However, I do not think that just telling a student that a subject is helpful will work. In my case, I would not have been interested at all in geometry if the teacher only said that I could use it for quilting. Instead, I needed to solve a real problem in my own life.In fact, just telling a student something may be very counterproductive because it may sound like the teacher is preaching. Students could become less interested if they think that the teacher is patronizing them. Even a very good speaker is not as persuasive as someone who uses multiple means of communication. Therefore, I think it is better to engage students by giving effective demonstrations of how the subject applies to life outside of the classroom. For example, abiology teacher could have the students bake bread to learn about the properties of yeast. Baking bread is much more interesting than listening to a teacher drone on about how colonies get larger in size and give off gasses.Another way to get students engaged is to give a problem that can only be solved using information related to the subject. The students cannot just sit back and passively listen; they must try to find a solution. In finding the solution, they can see how the skill works, and they will remember it better. In addition, they may become motivated to learn more so that they can solve other, related problems. By applying the subject, the students learn the value of the subject and will want to learn more about it because they think it is worthwhile.Therefore, I think it is best for a teacher to give practical demonstrations or have students solve problems related to the subject. Doing so helps students see how the subject relates to the world outside the classroom and is much more effective than just telling students that a skill is worthwhile.词句积累practical demonstrations 实际示范be inclined to 倾向于be involved in 参与multiple means of communication 多种交流方式apply to life outside of the classroom 应用到课堂外的的实践中去drone on 喋喋不休give off 发出，放出sit back 闲坐着，袖手旁观the value of X X的价值American black bears appear in a variety of colors despite their name. In the eastern part of their range, most of these brown, red, or even yellow coats. To the north, the black bear is actually gray or white in color. Even in the same litter, both brown and black furred bears may be born.Black bears are the smallest of all American bears, ranging in length from five to six feet, weighing from three hundred to five hundred pounds their eyes and ears are small and their eyesight and hearing are not as good as their sense of smell.Like all bears, the black bear is timid, clumsy, and rarely dangerous, but if attacked, most can climb trees and cover ground at great speeds. When angry or frightened, it is a formidable enemy.Black bears feed on leaves, herbs. Fruit, berries, insects, fish, and even larger animals. One of the most interesting characteristics of bears, including the black bear, is their winter sleep. Unlike squirrels, woodchucks, and many other woodland animals, bears do not actually hibernate. Although the bear does not during the winter moths, sustaining itself from body fat, its temperature remains almost normal,and it breathes regularly four or five times per minute.Most black bears live alone, except during mating season. They prefer to live in caves, hollow logs, or dense thickets. A little of one to four cubs is born in January or February after a gestation period of six to nine months, and they remain with their mother until they are fully grown or about one and a half years old. Black bears can live as long as thirty years in the wild, and even longer in game preserves set aside for them.了解托福写作中的逻辑思维，才可更好的进行锻炼，这样也许能提高自己的写作水平。
2021年托福写作模拟试题及答案(卷二)
2021年托福写作模拟试题及答案（卷二）Your city has decided to build a statue or monument to honor a famous person in your country. Who would you choose? Use reasons and specific examples to support your choice.托福写作范文：If my city has decided to build a statue to honor a famous person in my country, I would choose a late singer, Teresa Teng. She was born in 1950s, and died of a severe asthma attack at age 41 in May 1995 while holidaying in Chiang Mai, Thailand, triggering an outpouring of grief among her legions of fans in Asia and elsewhere. During her brilliant stage career, favored by fans all over Asia, she moved millions of people. Her famous songs include "sweet", "story of small town", and "the moon represents my heart", etc. It was said that it was her who introduced several generations in China to a certain field of popular music.Her songs have accompanied the growth and development of many people in China. In the home of these generations' soul, her sweet voice has become immortal beauty and memory. Although she's gone, her sound of singing has never vanished. She is constantly commemorated; from Beijing to Taipei, Hong Kong to Singapore, her ubiquitous fans observe her commemoration from time to time, cherishing her incredible beauty, and her voice that sounds to come from heaven. Her sweet songs made her a legend, and are still regularly heard on radio,and continue to have a following in Chinese communities all over the world.She should be remembered not only because of her beauty and voice, but also because of her great charity. She founded "Teresa Teng Foundation" during her lifetime. The purpose of the foundation is to cultivate and support gifted artists, and at the same time the foundation includes a trust to distribute scholarship to make sure that art students have opportunities to accomplish what they actually can. Every year, The Teresa Teng Foundation also send a great amount of money as a charity to help homeless children. And these activities are supported by her fans all over the world.Describe a custom from your country that you would like people from other countries to adopt. Explain your choice, using specific reasons and examples.托福写作范文：My favorite custom from Chinese culture that I wish that other countries would adopt is "Respect the Old, Love the Young." These two ideas have been part of traditional Chinese culture for thousands of years, but they are more important than ever in contemporary Chinese culture. If adopted by Western countries, these two traditional attitudes could help them solve some of their social problems.One major problem in many Western countries is what to do withold people when they can no longer take care of themselves. A Chinese family will often have three generations of one family living under the same roof. They love and respect the older generation, and consider them wise. Western people believe that living with one's own parents is inconvenient and embarrassing. Instead of respecting old people, some think that they are stupid and ugly.When Western families' parents get old, they would rather send them into nursing homes and retirement homes than live together with them. Only old and sick people live in these places and they are considered depressing, in the worst cases they might seem like a prison to their inhabitants. Old people in the West would be much happier if they adopted these traditional Chinese attitudes.Juvenile delinquency is another serious social problem in Western cultures. Its causes can also be traced back to a lack of respect for old people and love for young people. Children are not taught to respect the wishes of their parents and instead value their relationships with their friends more. Because in many Western families both parents have jobs outside of the home, children often lack adequate supervision. Chinese families, by contrast, often have at least one parent, or a grandparent at home to take care of and love the children. Children without proper guidance and love from a young age might start to smoke, drink, use drugs, and commit crimes. This occurs much less frequently in Chinabecause people pay more attention to their children and have the children's grandparents nearby to help raise them.The West puts the "Individual" before the "Family". Traditional Chinese culture puts the interests of the Family first, and the Individual second. Chinese mothers and fathers place higher value on their child's development, than on their child's independence. Children place a higher value on then-parents' happiness than on their own convenience. While there are many excellent lessons that Chinese people can learn from the West, Western people would do well to learn from these essential Chinese traditions.Some people say that computers have made life easier and more convenient. Other people say that computers have made life more complex and stressful. What is your opinion? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.托福写作范文：For every individual who praises the advent of the computer age there seems to be a computer phobic person. Truly, many people are having a difficult time warning up to this machine and its ubiquity. The computer appears to have made life more complex because it can be difficult to understand and it has quickened our pace of life and thus caused stress, but once people learn how to use it they will be able to appreciate the conveniences it has to offer.Many people, especially older generations, are not familiar with computers and therefore uncomfortable with them. They find the machine's workings too complex and difficult to understand. Even the terminology seems like a completely different language, because twenty years ago nobody knew what words like software, hardware, or network connection meant. When people heard the word mouse they thought of a rodent. This has changed today, and few teenagers would make the same mistake as their grandparents. It is also true that computers have quickened the pace of life by allowing us to communicate and do business more efficiently, and this can certainly result in stress. After all, time saved is usually spent on accomplishing more tasks, and thus personal and professional schedules have become more crowded. The stress factor increases yet again when the technology on which we rely breaks down. Few people understand their computers well enough to fix them, and as entire companies depend on this technology to handle all of their business needs, a single broken computer can wreck a lot of havoc. Nevertheless, computers and the Internet have become an integral part of everyday life. Computers are here to stay, because they facilitate many of our everyday processes and we have already grown dependent on them. Today computer owners use their machines not only to communicate and do business but also for entertainment. As people learn more about computers they will become more comfortablewith them, and technological progress will fix many of the small annoyances that cause stress to their owners.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The best way to travel is in a group led by a tour guide. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.托福写作范文：Those lucky enough to travel, particularly those fortunate enough to visit foreign countries, face the decision of traveling in a group with an experienced tour guide or traveling by themselves. The choice is a difficult one as both ways of travel have advantages. Personally, I believe that, although traveling in a group with a tour guide is obviously convenient, the benefits are often not significant enough and in many ways traveling in this kind of way can limit one's travel experience.The conveniences of group travel with a tour guide include the fact that one easily meets other people and thus has a more enjoyable and comfortable travel experience. This is particularly important when traveling in a foreign country where a language barrier prevents interaction with the locals and isolation can become a problem. The tour guide is often experienced in generating a jovial atmosphere within the group, and his/her knowledge of the foreign culture and places of interest provide travelers with a greater appreciation of their trip. Also, and maybe most importantly, when traveling with a guide the individualtraveler normally does not have to worry about hotel reservations and transportation. Those aspects are taken care of.On the other hand, convenience might not be important to a traveler, and traveling alone allows far more personal freedoms. For example, one can easily make changes to the travel itinerary. The traveler can choose to stay in certain places or move on more quickly than otherwise possible, because he does not follow a set schedule.Learning about culture and places of interest is also easy as that information is readily available in books.Furthermore, travelers tend to congregate, and it is very easy to meet fellow vacationers who might have insightful tips as far as where to go and what to do. Generally, basic command of the English language suffices to have such informative exchanges with other travelers and locals, who are often eager to share their customs and culture.Therefore, traveling outside a large tour group can result in a richer and more genuine experience, and I believe this experience to be more exciting to me.Some universities require students to take classes in many subjects. Other universities require students to specialize in one subject. Which is better? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.托福写作范文：Universities that require their students to take classes in manysubjects offer a very different educational experience from the universities that encourage specialization. As higher education becomes a more accessible commodity students will be able to choose between these two different forms of instruction. The answer to the question of which system is better depends on the student's interests and the goals of their studies.Students who complete a degree at a university which requires them to take classes in many different subjects will receive a well rounded education. Here they will be able to develop their knowledge in different areas, and they will also have the opportunity to find out what their interests really are as they will be exposed to a variety of fields of study. Therefore, this kind of university is ideal for students who have many interests or don't know what their interests are. Also, students who have an interest in education and consider the possibility of graduate school will be able to gain a broader knowledge base before specializing later on in their academic careers. They will be able to pursue education for education's sake and not just to learn a trade. When they try to find work after graduation their versatility will allow them to apply for a wide range of jobs.On the other hand, students who specialize will have a great advantage over students who don't when it comes to finding a job in their specific field of study. Naturally, companies will be most interestedin job applicants who have superior knowledge and can thus make the greatest contributions. At the same time, the specialization system allows students to focus on their interests and the subjects relevant to them. Students majoring in physics or chemistry would feel very out of place in a course on ancient poetry or Western literature. They might consider it a waste of their time and energy. This might then have a negative effect on their educational progress in general.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Classmates are a more important influence than parents on a child's success in school. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.托福写作范文：It is extremely difficult, maybe even impossible, to generalize the relationships between parents and children.After all, personalities, temperaments, and values differ from person to person as does the ability to raise children.Furthermore, the relationship between parents and child changes over time, and the same is true for relationships between classmates. As a result, the question of who is a more important influence is difficult to answer, but what is undeniable is that parents should and classmates can have significant impact on a child's success in school.Parents are responsible for raising a child, and they should instill the value of education in him. After all, a child who enjoys education andlearning is more likely to do well in school. This success will open up all kinds of opportunities in his future, from studying at a reputable university to finding a good job.Therefore, parents should take an active interest in their child's education and help him through difficult times by encouraging and motivating him. Nevertheless, parents must be careful not to force their child to success, particularly in early adolescence. Many teenagers become temporarily alienated from their parents during this period of their life, and a parent's insistence on academic excellence against the child's will could further erode their relationship and also have a negative effect on the child's schooling.Relationships to classmates have a significant effect on a child's academic performance, because it is in their company that most of a student's learning takes place. Since it is important for children of all ages to be accepted by their peers, much of a student's life is spent trying to fit in. Ideally, students will motivate and learn from each other, but often the opposite is the case. A student who shines in the classroom can become a social outcast, because his/her classmates are jealous of his/her performance. This can then cause him/her to become less inclined to study and work hard, because acceptance by the classmates is more important to him/her than high marks.If you were an employer, which kind of worker would you prefer tohire: an inexperienced worker at a lower salary or an experienced worker at a higher salary? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.托福写作范文：A company's human capital might very well be its greatest asset. As a result, a lot of thinking has to go into hiring a new employee. Naturally, in order to maximize profits, a company will want to employ a well-qualified candidate who is willing to work for very little money. Depending on the position that is to be filled, experience is an important qualification for which a company will have to pay a high salary, but often other intangibles such aptitude, initiative, and creativity are just as important, and they might be compromised by prior experience.There are positions for which extensive experience is absolutely necessary or at least extremely helpful. For example, an airline will not hire inexperienced pilots to fly their biggest passenger planes for good reason, and an investment firm will not allow a recent college graduate to manage the portfolios of their most important clients. In these areas specialized knowledge gained from experience is mandatory. Similarly, when it comes to managing or supervising other workers, knowledge of the subject matter is important but even more important is the ability to communicate effectively. This skill can only be developed through experience. Therefore, a company that wants to be successfulimmediately will have to pay for this kind of experience.Sometimes a company will be better off hiring a candidate with less experience. Not only will this prospective employee command a lower salary, but his/her lack of prior experience will allow him/her to learn new procedures more quickly, as he/she will not have to unlearn old ones. Similarly, employers often complain that seasoned workers have become rusty in their established routines. They lack the initiative and drive of their youthful counterparts. Finally, creative positions are often filled with people who have little experience because these individuals are still open to new trends and movements, as opposed to being committed to old fads. Therefore, if I was an employer, I would try to make a decision based on the requirements of the position I have to fill and the qualities of the candidates applying for the job.Many teachers assign homework to students every day. Do you think that daily homework is necessary for students? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.托福写作范文：For students the only good homework is no homework. This has been a truism for as long as schools have existed. However, the practice of newly acquired knowledge and the preparation for new lessons are essential parts of the learning process. Teachers understand this and give assignments accordingly.Nevertheless, there is such thing as too much homework. Whether daily homework is useful or not depends on the age of the students and the subjects in which the work is assigned, and teachers also have to take into account the possible negative effects of overwork. The age of a student or, better yet, the stage of the personal development of a student has to be considered when deciding on the amount of homework assigned. Elementary school students respond differently to daily homework than senior school students. They are more limited in their ability to concentrate on a subject and take in knowledge. These are skills that are developed over time. In addition, they will need time to learn other important lessons, for example how to interact socially and behave in a group of their peers.Thus, instead of daily homework, these students need time to play with their friends. The need for daily homework also differs from subject to subject. For example, in the areas of mathematics and languages continuous engagement with the subject matter is necessary, because it allows a student to internalize important concepts and mechanisms. In the field of history, on the other hand, it is more important that students grasp greater concepts. Memorizing dates and places is important, surely, but, if forgotten, these can always be looked up in the textbook. In these subjects daily homework is not only unnecessary but it might discourage students from taking an interest in the topic.After all, learning is largely a voluntary activity, and teachers have to consider the possibility that too much homework will frustrate the students. As a result, students might become less interested in the subject or less willing to learn. Consequently, the good intentions of the teacher could very well have the opposite effect and a student will learn less.If you could study a subject that you have never had the opportunity to study, what would you choose? Explain your choice, using specific reasons and details.托福写作范文：Students graduating from colleges today are not fully prepared to deal with the "real world." It is my belief that college students need to be taught more skills and information about personal finance management to enable them to meet the challenges that face everyone in daily life, which includes playing the credit game, planning their personal financial strategy, and consumer awareness.Learning how to obtain and use credit is probably the most valuable knowledge a young person can have.Credit is a dangerous tool that can be of tremendous help if it is handled with caution. Having credit can enable people to obtain material necessities before they have the money to purchase them outright. But unfortunately, many, many young people get carried away with theirhandy plastic credit cards and awake one day to find they are in serious financial debt. Learning how to use credit properly can be a very difficult and painful lesson indeed.Of equal importance is learning how to plan a personal budget. People have to know how to control money; otherwise, it can control them. Students should leave college knowing how to allocate their money for living expenses, insurance, savings, and so forth in order to avoid the "Oh, no! I'm flat broke and I don't get paid again for two weeks!" anxiety syndrome.Along with learning about credit and personal financial planning, graduating college students should be trained as consumers. The consumer market today is flooded with a variety of products and services of varying quality and prices. A young person entering the "real world" is suddenly faced with difficult decisions about which product to buy or whose services to engage. He/She is usually unaware of such things as return policies, guarantees, or repair procedures, information of this sort is vital knowledge to everyday living.For a newly graduated college student, the "real world" can be a scary place to be when he or she is faced with such issues as handling credit, planning a budget, or knowing what to look for, when to make a purchase and whom to purchase it from. Entering this "real world" could be made less painful if people were educated in dealing with these areasof daily life. What better place to accomplish this than college?Some people think that the automobile has improved modern life. Others think that the automobile has caused serious problems. What is your opinion? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.托福写作范文：Over the course of the past one hundred years the automobile has become a staple of modern society, and its impact has been considerable. Yet the question of whether it has improved our live or caused serious problems is irrelevant, because the automobile has done both. Consequently, we should develop its strengths and seek to correct the problems it continues to cause in order to reap greater benefits from this tool.With the invention of the automobile the age of transportation shifted into another gear. Quickly it became possible for people to travel more comfortably and conveniently to destinations near and far, and the figurative world moved closer together. Trucks carried cargo across countries and soon became serious competition for trains and ships. As a result, food and other consumer goods have become available even in remote areas, overall living standards have improved, and the automobile industry, which has grown fantastically over the course of the past century, employs millions of workers worldwide.However, as societal reliance and global economic dependencehave grown together with the automobile industry, many significant problems have surfaced. Car and truck exhausts pollute the air in metropolitan areas around the world and thus create serious health problems. The continued use of fossil fuel engines and the scarcity of oil have led to much political strife and even war, particularly in the oil rich region of the Middle East.As the powerful automobile industry remains reluctant and has yet to successfully promote an engine type that does not rely on gasoline power, the problem of fossil fuel shortage will become an even more serious problem.Since the automobile is here to stay we must not only enjoy its conveniences, but we must also aim to reduce the problems it has caused, for example air pollution and over reliance on fossil fuel engines. In the same vein, we must encourage the usage of alternative fuel sources, which have been researched and developed successfully. Then the benefits of the automobile will outweigh the serious problems.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents or other adult relatives should make important decisions for their older (15 to 18 year-old) teenage children. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.托福写作范文：Parents or other adult relatives should not make decisions on behalfof their older teenage child. Nevertheless, they must take an active part in the decision-making process of their offspring. They can use their knowledge and experience to prevent their teenager from making costly mistakes while allowing him/her to gain confidence and learn from his/her smaller errors so that he/she will be able to make mature decisions of his own in the future.Teenage children often lack the experience and knowledge to make sound decisions, and here their parents' input is valuable and necessary. Finding the right university or the right job after graduating from senior school is an example for this. A teenager has not worked before and never attended a university, and thus his knowledge in both areas is extremely limited. Here the parents should advise their child and ensure that he/she makes the right decision.In order to be able to make sound decision in the future a young adult must gain confidence, and parents can help by engaging him/her in dialogue and providing him/her with all the necessary information. A child between the ages of 15 and 18 will be able to recognize the best arguments and reasons. Through the parents' guidance he/she will arrive at the correct decision and feel as though it was completely his/her own. Not only will he/she continue to seek the reliable advice of his/her parents, but the self-confidence gained from this experience will make it easier for him/her to make decisions in the future.While parents should guide or direct their child, sometimes it is helpful to allow him/her to make a mistake.This will teach the child to live with the consequences of a wrong decision and also to ponder future choices more carefully. For example, a child might ignore his/her parents' advice and pick a summer job that sounds very interesting initially, but which he/she comes to loathe almost immediately. This experience will be invaluable when the child grows up and has to find a real job.What do you want most in a friend —someone who is intelligent, or someone who has a sense of humor, or someone who is reliable? Which one of these characteristics is most important to you? Use reasons and specific examples to explain your choice. support your opinion.托福写作范文：I appreciate all three qualities in my friends. It is important to me that my friends are intelligent, because I value intellectually stimulating conversation on meaningful topics. On the other hand, a friend with a good sense of humor can entertain and understands how to ease my sorrows by making me laugh in difficult times. However, only the reliable friend, by virtue of his dependability and loyalty, is guaranteed to stand by me in difficult times, and thus reliability is the most important characteristic I look for in a friend. In my last year of senior school mythree friends and I decided that we would study together for the college entrance exam, but my smartest friend hardly ever showed. She was extremely intelligent and everybody, including our teachers, was certain that she would be admitted to one of the best universities in the country. As a result, she did not bother to study much. At our study sessions she would appear occasionally, but more often than not her visits would distract us rather than help us. We would end up talking about metaphysical concepts like the existence of god instead of studying our lessons.My humorous friend attended most of our meetings, but usually he was unprepared and we had to spend a lot of time getting him up to speed. He made us laugh, and he joked about how much better we were learning now that we had to teach him. Maybe he was right, but his constant lack of preparation became a steady source of frustration to the other two of us.However, my third friend and I were able to rely on each other. We overcame our common frustrations and fears by completing the tasks we set out to do. During those long evenings when the work seemed unbearable we cheered each other up and kept working hard. Meanwhile our intelligent friend was minding her own business and our humorous friend was making somebody else laugh.。

2021年托福考试模拟试题及答案Crafts in the Ancient Near EastParagraph 1Some of the earliest human civilizations arose in southern Mesopotamia, in what is now southern Iraq, in the fourth millennium B.C.E. In the second half of that millennium, in the south around the city of Uruk, there was an enormous escalation in the area occupied by permanent settlements. A large part of that increase took place in Uruk itself, which became a real urban center surrounded by a set of secondary settlements. While population estimates are notoriously unreliable, scholars assume that Uruk inhabitants were able to support themselves from the agricultural production of the field surrounding the city, which could be reached with a daily commute. But Uruk’s dominant size in the entire region, far surpassing that of other settlements, indicates that it was a regional center and a true city. Indeed, it was the first city in human history.Q1 Which of the sentences below best express the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.A. Although scholars cannot accurately determine the size of the Uruk population, they know the citizens were not dependent on agriculture.B. Scholars do not have enough evidence to determine whether the agricultural areas just outside of Uruk were large enough to feed the city’s populationC. Because city populations cannot feed themselves, scholars think the surrounding farms provided food for the people in UrukD. Scholars believe that the inhabitants of Uruk were able to support themselves from produce grown in field surrounding the city.确定句子核心信息While population estimates are notoriously unreliable, scholars assume that Uruk inhabitants were able to supportthemselves from the agricultural production of the field surrounding the city, which could be reached with a daily commute.分析：本句是由while引导的让步状语从句(注：while出现在句中引导对比对照关系的状语从句;如出现在句首则引导让步关系的状语从句，)+主句scholars assume that…the city组成一个虽然…但是…的大结构。

2021年托福考试考场模拟训练题及答案4 •【新东方】轻松直达90分！202*年托福（TOEFL）金牌课程火热开售中>>During the second half of the nineteenth century, the production of food and feed crops in the United States rose at an extraordinarily rapid rate. Corn production increased by four and a half times, hay by five times, oats and wheat by seven times. The most crucial factor behind this phenomenal upsurge in productivity was the widespread adoption of labor-saving machinery by northern farmers. By 1850 horse-drawn reaping machines that cut grain were being introduced into the major grain-growing regions of the country. Horse-powered threshing machines to separate the seeds from the plants were already in general use. However, it was the onset of the Civil War in 1861 that provided the great stimulus for the mechanization of northern agriculture. With much of the labor force inducted into the army and with grain prices on the rise, northern farmers rushed to avail themselves of the new labor-saving equipment. In 1860 there were approximately 80,000 reapers in the country; five years later there were 350,000.After the close of the war in 1865, machinery became ever more important in northern agriculture, and improved equipment was continually introduced. By 1880 a self-binding reaper had been perfected that not only cut the grain, but also gathered the stalks and bound them with twine. Threshing machines were also being improved and enlarged, and after 1870 they were increasingly powered by steam engines rather than by horses. Since steam-powered threshing machines were costly items — running from$ 1,000 to $4,000 — they were usually owned by custom thresher owners who then worked their way from farm to farm during the harvest season. "Combines" were also coming into use on the great wheat ranches in California and thePacific Northwest. These ponderous machines — sometimes pulled by as many as 40 horses — reaped the grain, threshed it, and bagged it, all in one simultaneous operation.The adoption of labor-saving machinery had a profound effect upon the sale of agricultural operations in the northern states — allowing farmers to increase vastlytheir crop acreage. By the end of century, a farmer employing the new machinery could plant and harvest two andhalf times as much corn as a farmer had using hand methods 50 years before.1. What aspect of farming in the United States in the nineteenth century does the passage mainly discuss?(A) How labor-saving machinery increased crop Production(B) Why southern farms were not as successful as Successful as northern farms(C) Farming practices before the Civil War(D) The increase in the number of people farming2.

According to the passage , why was the Civil War a stimulus for mechanization?(A) The army needed more grain in order to feed the soldiers.(B) Technology developed for the war could also the used by farmers.(C) It was hoped that harvesting more grain would lower the price of grain.(D) Machines were needed to replace a disappearing labor force.5. The passage supports which of the following statements about machinery after the Civil War?(A) Many farmers preferred not to use the new machinery.(B) Returning laborers replaced the use of machinery.(C) The use of farm machinery continued to increase.(D) Poor-quality machinery slowed the pace of crop production.6. Combines and self-binding reapers were similar because each(A) could perform more than one function(B) required relatively little power to operate(C) was utilized mainly in California(D) required two people to operate7.

You should write at least 150 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:1. 当今，各种媒体非常发达，人们通过媒体购物相当普遍起来2. 媒体购物给人们带来很多方便，同时也暴露出其弊端3. 我的看法【范文】Media and ShoppingWith numerous technological advances, various kinds of media have been well developed. As a result, an increasing number of people are fond of purchasing goods with the help of media, such as newspapers, radio stations, TV stations and the Internet.As we know, every coin has two sides and shopping via media is no exception. On the one hand, it saves much time, money and effort to purchase goods through media since you dont have to go to the shops in person. Besides, you canchoose what you want from an enormous variety of goods on display. On the other hand, you may be cheated sometimes by the false information and suffer a considerable loss.As far as I am concerned, shopping via media brings great benefits to our life and our economy on the whole. At the same time, we need strengthened supervision over the information released via media. In this way, we can reap more benefits from shopping via media and reduce the possible harm to a minimum.。

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

2)这个船是flagship (leading role)上面士兵都是精英，不可能不遵守命令，即使关系不和;
3)法军想证明自己比英军強，故意撒谎。
