托福獨(dú)立寫作經(jīng)典1
In current society, according to the survey conducted by a newspaper titled China Daily, the study burden on the shoulder of students is increasingly heavier, which has attracted widespread public attention. When it come to what parents can do to help their children’s study, many people, if not most, are strong believers of the claim that parents should finish their kids’ homework for the purpose of relieving the study pressure. However, as far as I am concerned, parents are supposed to guide their children to complete their homework independently, for having a better command of knowledge imparted in class and cultivating their independent thinking ability.
First and foremost, it is undeniable that finishing homework by themselves can help children better absorb the knowledge they obtained. As is known to all, the purpose of assigning homework to students is to review what they learned in the class. In other words, teachers will view their assignments as a yardstick to evaluate how well their students have absorbed the knowledge. For example, a history teacher may require his students to write a paper about the Independence War after briefly introducing the background and process of this war. Due to the lack of sufficient information about this subject, kids may turn to their parents for help. Some parents may do everything for their children, including collecting data, outlining the whole article and even finishing the paper. However, other parents may just provide some information sources and ask their kid to select relevant information and design the structure of the article. After finishing the paper, those who finish it independently have understood the whole process of Independent War, while those who do not complete by themselves forget what they learned quickly.
Furthermore, it is indisputable that doing assignment independently can foster children’s ability of solving problems on their ow

此處將以從OG提供的195道例題中隨機(jī)抽的一題為例,進(jìn)行詳細(xì)示范。
Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
我們看見了一個(gè)nowadays,指的是現(xiàn)代生活,現(xiàn)今時(shí)代,今年甚至是今天,也就是我們正在每天體驗(yàn)的生活。我們又看到food,今天的人們有什么吃的呢?健康飲食理念者愛吃生疏加熟粗糧,不健康飲食理念者也有肯德基麥當(dāng)勞。兒童有糖果餅干果凍,大街上隨處都有的買。正規(guī)家居過日子的人也有各種原料和佐料等著下廚。這個(gè)food指的是什么呢?繼續(xù)看,food has become easier to prepare,有個(gè)比較級,是要和誰比較,比較什么?
從to prepare判斷,原來是比較準(zhǔn)備出食物的難易程度,這不可能是和人們還不知為何狀的未來的食物相比,那么就是和過去,也就是和傳統(tǒng)食物相比了。這個(gè)比較可以從多種角度入手。
圍繞著現(xiàn)代食物比較容易準(zhǔn)備,我們能夠輕易想到的`有:準(zhǔn)備時(shí)間縮短了,食用方式可能改變,營養(yǎng)價(jià)值可能改變,人們烹調(diào)時(shí)的心情改變,食用心情改變,對身體的長遠(yuǎn)影響改變,烹調(diào)方面節(jié)省下來的時(shí)間可以用在其它方面,導(dǎo)致生活節(jié)奏改變,生活重心改變,長此以往情趣格調(diào)改變,興趣愛好改變,乃至性情改變等等等等。

托福獨(dú)立寫作經(jīng)典3
大多數(shù)托福獨(dú)立寫作prompts都非常簡短,沒有任何相關(guān)背景或語境給出,同學(xué)們在解題時(shí)也很容易泛泛而談,難以打開思路或無法給出具體例證:
Your community has a piece of land and is considering introducing a business to this land. Which business would you prefer? a. a shopping mall b. a performing art center c. a hotel.
此類題目許多同學(xué)若選擇 performing art center 可能會談到藝術(shù)的重要性,好處(修身養(yǎng)性,開闊視野,social),以及 art center對自己社區(qū)居民的好處(如放松休閑),但往往無法給出具體例證或易于表達(dá)的例證和細(xì)節(jié),亦或是無法從其它角度給出 reasons。若是選擇 shopping mall, 許多同學(xué)更是除了convenient 外就再難從其它角度給出reasons. 此處不妨談?wù)?your community 的情況,是在何種context里的一個(gè) community? 1) Your community 是否已有shopping mall? art center? hotel? 有多少個(gè)?是否還需要? 2) Your community 是否有于題目相關(guān)的features?周邊情況?
1 Shopping Mall
此題若選 shopping mall,可給出背景如: my community 已有6個(gè)hotels,3個(gè)performance arts centers ,卻并沒有shopping mall. 接下來例證細(xì)節(jié)可詳細(xì)吐槽無shopping mall帶來的不便。
第二個(gè)論點(diǎn)若一時(shí)無別的idea可寫也沒關(guān)系,可直接在上個(gè)論點(diǎn)基礎(chǔ)上擴(kuò)展,再從hotels和arts centers這兩處吐槽: 6個(gè)hotels,3個(gè)arts centers常年都沒有被充分利用 (those hotels and performance arts centers were not fully used), 有的hotels甚至都要倒閉了。顯然再建hotels之類的是無用 (will be useless/ will be of no use)且費(fèi)錢的。
2 Hotel
Likewise, 若選hotel,可給出背景如: my community is right next to a national park,然而卻只有一個(gè)hotel且常常爆滿,facilities也out-of-date,七八個(gè)shopping malls卻沒人逛,三個(gè)art centers也沒能得到充分使用 。
注意此處context的'構(gòu)建要考慮所需支持的觀點(diǎn),去national park的游客大多都需要hotel,但對七八個(gè)shopping malls的需求量則不大 (不至于大多都要瘋狂掃貨,愛馬仕勞力士什么的買一堆),因而可支持get one more hotel rather than shopping mall.
此處若將national park改為Disney park可能就不夠convincing了(參考香港Disney為例,旁邊一站就是東薈城CityGate,大家懂的)。
3 Art Centre
若選art center,可給出背景: my community is right next to three art universities,然而卻沒有一個(gè)art center。學(xué)生演出不方便需驅(qū)車去別的城市。另外,若 build an art center,也可以create more job opportunities給這些學(xué)校的students.
此類極端虛構(gòu)法在很多別的類似題目(幾乎所有選擇類題目)上也適用,解題快準(zhǔn)狠,希望大家可以做到舉一反三:
The government needs to decrease its annual budget due to the global financial crisis, which one aspect below do you think the government should focus more of its limited budgets on? a. education b. health care c. support for unemployed.

托福獨(dú)立寫作經(jīng)典5
托福寫作的評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)
新托福寫作考試由兩部分組成:綜合寫作和獨(dú)立寫作。
綜合寫作:考生先閱讀一篇短文,再聽一段相關(guān)內(nèi)容的講座錄音,講座的演講者直接討論短文中的觀點(diǎn),要求考生把演講者就短文觀點(diǎn)發(fā)表的看法寫成一篇摘要。
獨(dú)立寫作:要求考生針對某一話題發(fā)表個(gè)人的觀點(diǎn),并用具體的理由和事例來支持自己的觀點(diǎn)。每篇作文都由兩位評分人員根據(jù)統(tǒng)一的評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn),在0~5分的范圍內(nèi)評分(只給整數(shù)分?jǐn)?shù)),而后取平均值,最后將這個(gè)平均值轉(zhuǎn)換為30分制。
綜合寫作評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)
1.內(nèi)容的完整性和準(zhǔn)確性。簡單地說,就是文章是否有將講座中的關(guān)鍵信息點(diǎn)完整、準(zhǔn)確地提取出來(通常情況下有三點(diǎn)),并和閱讀材料中的相關(guān)內(nèi)容有效地一一對應(yīng)。如果講座中的信息點(diǎn)有缺失,那么會有一定程度的扣分;如果只寫了有關(guān)閱讀材料的觀點(diǎn),得1分。
2.文章的組織機(jī)構(gòu),詞匯和語法的正確性和準(zhǔn)確性。高分的作文需要做到條理清晰,結(jié)構(gòu)連貫,用詞恰當(dāng),能夠準(zhǔn)確地表達(dá)講座中的觀點(diǎn)與閱讀材料中的觀點(diǎn)是如何相互聯(lián)系的,只要作文中的錯(cuò)誤不至于使內(nèi)容表述出現(xiàn)誤解,一些偶爾出現(xiàn)的語言錯(cuò)誤,如單詞拼寫、單復(fù)數(shù)問題等,不會對作文成績產(chǎn)生很大影響,當(dāng)然,錯(cuò)誤肯定是越少越好的。
獨(dú)立寫作評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)
1.有效回應(yīng)題目,闡明文章主題。一般來說,獨(dú)立寫作完全跑題的情況很少,但是很多考生在展開討論時(shí)所采用的論據(jù),比較容易出現(xiàn)跟主題關(guān)聯(lián)性不大的情況,即局部答非所問的現(xiàn)象,從而影響了得分。
2.邏輯條理清楚,論證充分展開。這一點(diǎn)的關(guān)鍵在于文章論證的展開,是否提供了大量的細(xì)節(jié)和例子來支持觀點(diǎn),而非泛泛而談地說理。比如說某位同學(xué)的英文寫作能力很強(qiáng),我光說很強(qiáng),很厲害,寫得很好都很表面,但是我如果說這位同學(xué)托福寫作考了29分,那么就是很細(xì)節(jié)很有說服力的論據(jù)了。
3.內(nèi)容連貫一致,銜接自然流暢。達(dá)到內(nèi)容連貫一致的文章通常全文圍繞中心論點(diǎn)展開,而不會論據(jù)自相矛盾,也不會重復(fù)論證,有時(shí)候通過一些表示因果、先后、遞進(jìn)的關(guān)系連詞可以起到粘合劑的作用。
4.遣詞造句地道,語言駕馭嫻熟。托?荚嚱K究是語言考試,最終還是要考查考生的語言運(yùn)用能力,但是要注意的是,并不是要求考生通篇都用難詞偏語長句,而是要會變化著用一些美國人常用的語句把自己的想法表達(dá)清楚,所以建議考生盡量多閱讀和模仿英文原版材料,這樣寫出來的文章才能夠原汁原味。
提升寫作能力的重要性
由托福評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)可見,托福寫作能力是語言運(yùn)用的精髓與核心,對于在外國留學(xué)的中國學(xué)生,尤其是有志于進(jìn)入文商科領(lǐng)域的學(xué)生來說,“寫”是一條生命線,直接關(guān)乎課業(yè)和工作的成敗。以寫作形式提交的測試或者論文占據(jù)了GPA的極大比重,這事實(shí)上對于母語非英文的亞洲學(xué)生來說是利好的,如果沒有以書面形式呈現(xiàn)的作業(yè),一般來說稍顯內(nèi)向的學(xué)生很難在激烈的英語課堂辯論中占據(jù)任何優(yōu)勢。從更深層次上來說,“寫”代表了個(gè)人內(nèi)心聲音的傾訴,展現(xiàn)了理解知識的深度和思考的結(jié)晶,鐫刻了一個(gè)人的思想由青澀到成熟的印記。而到了工作階段,對于任何與文商科有關(guān)的職業(yè),例如律師,會計(jì)師,分析師,翻譯,記者等等來說,寫作都是最基本與核心的質(zhì)素,無論是撰寫報(bào)告,公文,信函……寫作的重要性常常為學(xué)生們所忽視,因此到了大學(xué)和工作之后往往要加倍償還。
托?忌R妴栴}
大部分的學(xué)生在托福寫作中所展現(xiàn)出來的英文寫作問題主要集中在以下幾點(diǎn):
一、邏輯匱乏
連貫地把一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)言之成理地表達(dá)出來,是完成任何寫作任務(wù)的第一要?jiǎng)?wù),在英文寫作中尤其要注意兩點(diǎn),第一,不要被辭藻的華美和句式的復(fù)雜繞進(jìn)去了,英文應(yīng)該以幾個(gè)關(guān)鍵詞為骨架,再以此為基礎(chǔ)進(jìn)行增刪修飾,所以不要文過飾非,表達(dá)片段化;第二,對于低齡學(xué)員來說,尤其要注意平行論點(diǎn)之間是否有重疊,交叉的地方,同時(shí),要注意事實(shí),結(jié)果和基準(zhǔn)之間是否處在一條直線上,是否在邏輯上具有一致性。
二、論據(jù)意識不強(qiáng)
托福寫作評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)當(dāng)中對于“事實(shí)和論據(jù)”有著明確的要求,“口水話”是任何應(yīng)試型寫作的大忌。論據(jù)的積累事實(shí)上也應(yīng)該成為寫作教學(xué)的重要一環(huán),其中理論型的論據(jù)需要教師的講解和提煉,也需要學(xué)生“思接千載,視通萬里”,不局限于單一科目,把多門學(xué)科當(dāng)中的原理和事實(shí)融入進(jìn)論點(diǎn)的闡發(fā)過程,比如心理學(xué)中的“延遲滿足”效應(yīng),經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)里“馬太效應(yīng)”等等,都應(yīng)該是寫作可以信手拈來的材料,但是這一塊是傳統(tǒng)的寫作教學(xué)比較忽視的;而事實(shí)論據(jù)也是大有文章可做的,最可靠的是數(shù)字,對數(shù)字的敏感度的培養(yǎng)應(yīng)該從小開始,不能成為短板;其次是概括性的事實(shí),大部分的.低齡學(xué)員在抽象概括能力上需要嚴(yán)格的訓(xùn)練,在初期需要思維模型的打造,比如判定一種行為的利弊,可以借用“個(gè)人-社區(qū)-社會”的經(jīng)典分層,或者在工作類的話題上,對不同類型的職業(yè)進(jìn)行單獨(dú)分析……
最后要強(qiáng)調(diào)的是具體事例,此處必須明確的一點(diǎn)是具體事例寫作絕對不等同把個(gè)人經(jīng)歷做成流水賬,而是要加以概括,把枝枝葉葉的部分砍掉,把意識流一般的敘事套進(jìn)一個(gè)整飭的模具當(dāng)中,這個(gè)模具就是段落的大意和行文的邏輯。
三、遣詞造句不地道
托福的閱卷人不知道看過多少篇以 “with the development of society”(隨著社會的發(fā)展)開頭的作文,這種毫無個(gè)人創(chuàng)建的模板化也只能保證一個(gè)更加平庸的分?jǐn)?shù)。其次,玩弄大詞,不用小詞,不區(qū)分書面語和口語,都是由于平時(shí)不閱讀,不積累,所造成的壞賬和惡果。8歲時(shí)就出版?zhèn)人專著《飛揚(yáng)的手指》,12歲就走上TED演講臺的美國華裔神童鄒奇奇(Adora Svitak)從三歲就開始博覽群書,去聽一聽她的那篇名為《成年人能從孩子身上學(xué)到什么》的演講,我們或許可以知道,任何神童和奇跡的產(chǎn)生,都是“積跬步”和“積小流”的結(jié)果。
四、冗余現(xiàn)象嚴(yán)重
如果我們試著把一段中文翻譯成英文,再把這段譯文和典范的英文進(jìn)行對比,就可以發(fā)現(xiàn)大多數(shù)人的翻譯都要比典范英文長一截。這恰恰是寫作剛剛?cè)腴T,又無法達(dá)到精通程度的學(xué)生最容易遇到的問題。英文寫作的原則應(yīng)該是“l(fā)ess is more”,寫得精煉遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)好于長篇大論,如若英文寫作要從中低端邁入高端,這背后需要調(diào)動介詞,比如“otherwise”這種介詞,80%的學(xué)生都不會用,或者害怕用;此外,把從句以合成詞的方式的呈現(xiàn)出來,用上data-driven這樣的結(jié)構(gòu),此處不一一贅述。
綜上所述,英文寫作首先是一種審美教育。審美是任何有效語言學(xué)習(xí)的最佳入門途徑,語文課上,不少人因?yàn)椤洞航ㄔ乱埂贰敖虾稳顺跻娫,江月何年初照人”這樣讓人震撼的名句而愛上了這門學(xué)科,而英文的審美力量常常為模式化的教學(xué)所忽視。讀原著,是長期構(gòu)建英文寫作能力的核心所在,例如我們?nèi)绻行易x一讀愛德華·吉本的《羅馬帝國衰亡史》,會看到,羅馬帝國“囊括世上最美之疆域”,在其“古老聲威與嚴(yán)整軍容”的震懾下,敵軍不敢來犯,市民“盡享富庶生活,甚而奢華揮霍”。(The Empire “comprehended the fairest part of the earth”. Rome’s enemies were kept at bay by “ancient renown and disciplined valour”. Citizens “enjoyed and abused the advantages of wealth and luxury”.)用詞之準(zhǔn)確精妙,如果不經(jīng)過長期的培養(yǎng)和學(xué)習(xí),是無論如何也現(xiàn)想不來的。
其次,英文寫作也是一種思維訓(xùn)練。隨著學(xué)力的增長,不同等級的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化考試對于邏輯的要求也會越來越高。從托福的角度來說,可能觀點(diǎn)行文言之成理即可,而到了SAT階段,則把明確地提煉出作者態(tài)度,謀篇布局,并對其高明之處進(jìn)行剖析的能力列入了考察范圍,光靠死記硬背,顯然是難以應(yīng)付這一階段考試的。而到了申請研究生的時(shí)候,GRE,GMAT和LSAT的作文考試,邏輯就成了重中之重,簡單來說,在分析題干的時(shí)候,對論斷的合理性和不合理性都應(yīng)該有所論述,并且要分析出在何種情況下和何種程度中該觀點(diǎn)為合理或者不合理,沒有訓(xùn)練過的學(xué)員,一定是在考場上最手足無措的那一群人。
我們要做的就是將托福寫作題目分類,并進(jìn)行相應(yīng)的優(yōu)化。托福作文題目的難度體現(xiàn)最主要就是在作文題目越來越抽象,越來越不容易想到理由。其實(shí),當(dāng)面對這些題目的時(shí)候,很多人總會把自己投入一個(gè)怪圈,單純的死扣這個(gè)問題,而不是試圖將它擴(kuò)展或者細(xì)化。 作文最忌諱的就是就事論事,不作任何擴(kuò)展。
最后,英文寫作也是一種品質(zhì)訓(xùn)練。寫作能力不是天生的,一定是養(yǎng)成的,任何資質(zhì)的孩子通過適當(dāng)?shù)呐嘤?xùn)和培養(yǎng),都有可能成為一個(gè)合格的寫作者。但是,知易行難,不喜歡動筆寫是大多數(shù)人的通病,寫作也是思路整理和思維鍛煉的過程,更是考驗(yàn)人的毅力和定力的時(shí)刻。在適當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)候,將寫作養(yǎng)成習(xí)慣需要借助外力,需要定期的督促和修改。注意到寫作能力的重要性,亡羊補(bǔ)牢,為時(shí)未晚,否則咱們的孩子到了國外之后,在語言上如何和外國的同齡人抗衡呢?
托福獨(dú)立寫作經(jīng)典6
下面與各位托?忌窒淼氖仟(dú)立寫作應(yīng)試技巧:
01分配時(shí)間
30分鐘,轉(zhuǎn)瞬即逝,在托福獨(dú)立寫作上必須要分秒必爭,對每一個(gè)環(huán)節(jié)要了然于胸。動筆前3-5分鐘先構(gòu)思,心里要布置一個(gè)框架,寫完后需要3-5分鐘檢查。所以實(shí)際的寫作時(shí)間只有差不多20分鐘。
02 切題
仔細(xì)閱讀問題或者論點(diǎn),寫得再好,如果離題了一切都是扯淡。
03 頭腦風(fēng)暴
在下筆之前要進(jìn)行一兩個(gè)頭腦風(fēng)暴,想一個(gè)最佳切入點(diǎn)去寫
04 列提綱
構(gòu)思你的文章,列提綱的時(shí)候不需要面面俱到,有時(shí)甚至連阿拉伯?dāng)?shù)字也不需要寫,就一行幾個(gè)關(guān)鍵字,寫文章的時(shí)候看著這些關(guān)鍵字去展開。
05 邏輯性
整篇文章必須是有邏輯性的',一般托福獨(dú)立寫作文章分為3個(gè)部分,第一部分:引入話題,通常就一個(gè)段落,或者幾句話。第二部分:文章主體,通常由2-3個(gè)段落組成。第三部分:總結(jié),通常也是一個(gè)段落或者幾句話。
06 有理有據(jù)
托福寫作切忌只有理論,一定要有理有據(jù)才可以打動人。所以每次給出一個(gè)論點(diǎn)的時(shí)候,一定記得要給出一個(gè)相應(yīng)的實(shí)例。
07 信號詞
無論你想表達(dá)的是并列的思想,還是轉(zhuǎn)折的事情,亦或是其他,最好有一個(gè)信號詞。比如講到遞進(jìn)關(guān)系的時(shí)候,可以用furthermore,what’s more, moreover等。表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的可以用However,but,nevertheless等。
08 句式
句式變化要豐富,長短句結(jié)合,簡單句和復(fù)雜句結(jié)合。這樣可以使得整篇文章看起來錯(cuò)落有致,妙趣橫生。
09 檢查文章
最后關(guān)頭別去想是不是要增加新的論點(diǎn)了。檢查一下有沒有出現(xiàn)低級錯(cuò)誤,比如首字母是否大寫,拼寫錯(cuò)誤,語法錯(cuò)誤,或者標(biāo)點(diǎn)錯(cuò)誤。
托福獨(dú)立寫作經(jīng)典7
新托福考試的最后一部分是寫作,要求考生寫2篇文章,第一篇叫做綜合寫作(Integrated writing),讓考生用3分鐘時(shí)間先讀一篇約250字的文章,然后聽一段2分鐘關(guān)于對所讀內(nèi)容的評論。再讓考生寫一篇150到225個(gè)字的文章。這篇文章的寫作滿分詳解及滿分模板作者早已給出。
第二篇作文叫獨(dú)立寫作,和筆考、機(jī)考均無兩樣,給定考生一熟悉的話題,讓考生在30分鐘內(nèi)寫一篇300字的文章。典型的問法是:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement- One should never judge a person by external appearance. Use specific reasons and details to support you answer。不少同學(xué)又跟筆者要獨(dú)立寫作滿分詳解及滿分模板。實(shí)際上獨(dú)立寫作詳解和模板筆者在很多年前便給出了模板,但不知何故網(wǎng)上和筆者的電腦中再也尋不著。只有提起筆來結(jié)合筆者再次參加新托?荚嚨慕(jīng)驗(yàn)給各位同學(xué)重新總結(jié)新托福獨(dú)立寫作模板和高分寫作技巧。
評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)1:effectively addresses the writing topic and task。
要求考生有效地闡明主題,考生千萬不要跑題。從筆者的教學(xué)經(jīng)驗(yàn)看,考生全部跑題現(xiàn)象較少,但是局部跑題現(xiàn)象十分嚴(yán)重,這也是考生不能輕取高分的緣故。
評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)2:well organized and well developed
邏輯條理清楚,發(fā)展充分。每次作者在講寫作時(shí)總是把它和閱讀相對照。各位考生要想拿到獨(dú)立寫作滿分必須真正理解八股文的結(jié)構(gòu),千萬不要寫中國式的八股文,而應(yīng)寫出美式八股文。
評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)3:uses specific details and examples to support you view 。
考生的論據(jù)一定要具體、明確,且對論點(diǎn)有支持作用,而不能空洞和泛泛而談。
評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)4:displays language facility by demonstrating syntactic variety, word choice and idiom。
(通過譴詞造句和習(xí)慣表達(dá)來展示語言的熟練程度)這一點(diǎn)是各位考生經(jīng)常忽視, 迷惘和不清楚的`一點(diǎn)。新托福作文占總分120分的30分。我們對大家的要求是在作文上花的時(shí)間既要少又要拿高分,至少28分。凡是想拿到28分甚至滿分以上的同學(xué)一定要注意此項(xiàng)評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。能用first千萬不要用firstly,能用finally千萬不要用last but not least. 不少同學(xué)花了很多功夫背這一外國人都不用的詞組,能用常用的詞千萬不要用偏詞,同時(shí)我們要熟練掌握ETS喜歡的5大語法結(jié)構(gòu)和2種從句。
作文要不要寫-當(dāng)然要寫,但我建議考生不要寫的太多,寫一篇要像一篇,最好讓行家改2-3篇。我曾經(jīng)碰到一個(gè)學(xué)生把185篇中的184篇均寫了。拿給我看,結(jié)果同樣的錯(cuò)誤在184篇均反復(fù)出現(xiàn),讓我哭笑不得,一問才知說是老師這么教的。學(xué)托福需要勤奮,但像這種勤奮就等于浪費(fèi)青春歲月。
作文要不要背-最好不要通篇背,可以背一些經(jīng)典的句型。倘若真要背,一定要認(rèn)準(zhǔn)此篇作文是范文的情況下才能背。
這4個(gè)評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)哪條更重要-這主要取決于考生對作文考分的期望值。若要考滿分,此4點(diǎn)均重要。千萬不能跑題,一跑題可就是0分了。考試費(fèi)也就白交了。

Nowadays, merchants tend to strive for remaining in existence by all means due to the extensive competition and burdensome pressures. However, I am always amazed when I hear that it is necessary for businessman to do anything possible to make a profit. It may be as highly laudable and exemplary a thing as it is held to be by those who are addicted to money.
Apparently, I strongly object to it due to various factors that weigh heavily against the notion. The foremost reason is that merchants would be rewarded by nothing but distrust and even hatred from the customers if they hardly care about anything but money. It is widely known that nothing can be compared with the good reputation of a company, which attracts more upright and loyal customers. Suppose we are facing the dilemma of which brand of shampoo to purchase. It is of no surprise if you decide to take the one produced by P&G or other reputable large companies. As a result, what assures the buyers most is the credit of the service suppliers?
Another subtle explanation for my point of view rests on the fact that various appalling results would in some cases, be caused by the immoral and even illegal businesses. It is decent to make profits and receive the repayment of diligent work and continuous efforts. Nevertheless, producing unqualified or even rious commodities, which possibly lead to detriments of people"s health or security, is never the sensible method to operate a company. What impressed me most is the tragedy happened several months ago in some part of China. Hundreds of infants died because of the nonnutritive milk powders produced by some merchantmen without ethics. Therefore, it is never too rigid to denounce the immoral and irresponsible behavior. The third point I would like to mention is that the merchants themselves would not be reassured to enjoy the property acquired in improper ways.
In most cases, it is the essential satisfaction of benefiting the public, rather than the material items, which inspires people profoundly. What a pleasant thing it would be to receive repayment of your diligent work and continuous efforts! On the contrary, few people would go into rapture even if they possess a mass of wealth earned through indecent ways. Thus, only by obeying commercial disciplines could a businessman obtain supreme success and maximum pleasure.
Taking into all the reasons above into account, it is barely too arbitrary to conclude that only by descent and good Intentioned business activities could a company achieve respectable and decent success

It makes me sensitively to think of Hollywood place where movies were first made before World War I. In those days, Hollywood movie was like a magnet, drawing ambitious young men and women from all over the world.
Up till now, there is nothing that can substitute the position of movies that is the most efficient way to relax us. I prefer movies designed to make the audience think. As far as I know, most movies are supposed to be made from the source material that mirrors a part of the social events. That means there is another methods to force us to think about what we have done for our country, what is our responsibility in the society and so on. In fact what kind of information we need can be gain from different media including television, the Internet, radio, newspapers, especially from some movies.
Tracing back to my childhood, I like watching the first work directed by Alfred Hitchcock, Rebecca. So young though I was, it did make me sunk into contemplation. Not only did the plot make me a little confused, but also it really told me the truth that whoever is right or wrong, no one can live in the shadowy place and everyone must live his or her own live, enjoy the sunshine belonging to their own.
A movie worthy thinking about should conquer everything, including one"s heart, which never fade with time going by, even be possible to change our lives. Here I cannot help siding with the other view; however it does not mean that we should totally ignore it, this is not a matter of making an “either-or” judgment. What we want to clarify here is what is primary and what is secondary.
If permits, a movie primarily designed to make audience think add some amusement and entertainment, just like tasting a cup of cappuccino.
托福獨(dú)立寫作經(jīng)典9
對于托福獨(dú)立寫作來說,雖然模式簡單,但是需要清晰的論點(diǎn),明確的論點(diǎn)。所以,對于我們的邏輯思維也是一種考驗(yàn)。在托福寫作中,我們?nèi)绻覀兿胍@取高分,想要讓自己的托福內(nèi)容言之有物,最為重要的就是確立好自己的論點(diǎn)。下面我們就為大家詳細(xì)介紹一下在托福寫作中該如何確立自己的觀點(diǎn)。
1,要與論題相匹配。論題問的既然是提高生活質(zhì)量與否,一些無關(guān)緊要的.改變就應(yīng)該棄之不用,比如烹調(diào)時(shí)間縮短這一項(xiàng)改變,是事實(shí),且未對生活質(zhì)量有直接明顯影響,就應(yīng)該避免用作主要論點(diǎn)。
2,要能言之有物。這是再功利不過的一條標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。比如我自己提到了食物準(zhǔn)備時(shí)間縮短能讓人性情改變,破題時(shí)覺得不無可能,真落筆時(shí)卻不知道由何說起,如果選了這一條為一個(gè)主要論點(diǎn),結(jié)果是我說了一句話就走人,那還不如選個(gè)能下筆,能展示語言功底,也能顯示思維縝密的寫作方向。
3,選擇的無論是2個(gè)還是3個(gè)論點(diǎn),內(nèi)在一定要有聯(lián)系。這其實(shí)是整個(gè)立意階段的重頭。要立意,就是要明白自己表達(dá)的對象是什么,明確立場。然后站在這個(gè)立場上,挑選支持自己的論點(diǎn)。
托福寫作破題結(jié)束后,第二要做的重要事項(xiàng)便是整理托福行文寫作思路。破題過程其實(shí)是個(gè)發(fā)散思維的過程,而立意,則是要把思維收回來,組織化,理清它的脈絡(luò)紋路,讓他們按照自認(rèn)為最有說服力的順序排列好,準(zhǔn)備落于紙上的過程。這個(gè)說服力的強(qiáng)弱,應(yīng)該以什么標(biāo)準(zhǔn)判斷呢?筆者認(rèn)為,能說服讀者的議論,在論點(diǎn)選擇上應(yīng)該遵循一個(gè)原則:
三個(gè)(或者兩個(gè))論點(diǎn)不能在層面上有交叉,但要符合一條明線:支持全文觀點(diǎn)。而最打動讀者的論點(diǎn)選擇,不僅遵循上面的原則,三個(gè)看似不交叉的論點(diǎn)間還有一條暗線貫穿一致。令全文渾然天成,回味無窮。
立意的地一步,按照上面的原則看,當(dāng)然是先確定觀點(diǎn)。以題目為例,筆者愿意選擇否,食物易于準(zhǔn)備降低了人們的生活質(zhì)量。第一步踏出去了。
確定觀點(diǎn)后,破題時(shí)得到的思維方向,明顯不利于我的就應(yīng)該排除。比如營養(yǎng)價(jià)值改變這一條,雖然速食文化的確對人體有害,但另一項(xiàng)速食:生疏和熟粗糧,就是向有益方向改變的,兩者勢均力敵,僅管是很容易想到,也很容易舉例論證的論點(diǎn),卻不宜使用,因?yàn)槿绱速Q(mào)然用了,有思維不縝密之嫌。然而,這畢竟是一塊好啃的骨頭,如果其他論點(diǎn)都不好論證,還可以回頭撿起這一條來,隱去健康速食那個(gè)事實(shí)進(jìn)行作文,當(dāng)然,這依然是下下之選。
托福獨(dú)立寫作經(jīng)典10
托福寫作一向是中國學(xué)生比較頭疼的一個(gè)部分,考生常常感到無話可說,寫出來的句子不是錯(cuò)誤連篇就是空無一物,完全是中文作文的翻譯版。而事實(shí)上,寫作屬于輸出型考試,沒有大量的輸入,是不可能有高質(zhì)量的輸出的。參加托?荚嚨暮芏喔咧猩蛘叽髮W(xué)非英語專業(yè)的學(xué)生恰恰缺乏的就是大量的高質(zhì)量的英語輸入。
《新概念英語》系列教材是市面上最暢銷的一套英語學(xué)習(xí)教材。因其作者亞歷山大為英國著名二語教學(xué)專家,因此所選課文語言地道,用詞精當(dāng)。四本教材難度成梯度上升,其中新概念第三冊的難度最適合托福考生的需求,文章長度適中,布局謀篇都符合英美人思維方式。所用詞匯都是托福高頻詞匯。雖然辭藻不見得華麗,但遣詞造句之間頗見功力,而將一個(gè)平淡無奇的常用詞用得傳神恰好是新概念系列教材的精妙之處。因而新概念第三冊完全可以拿來為準(zhǔn)備托福的考生使用。
托福獨(dú)立寫作評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)在論證上提出了三點(diǎn)要求:1、 要有說理;2、 要有例子;3 、要有細(xì)節(jié)。這三條標(biāo)準(zhǔn)當(dāng)中,中國學(xué)生最不缺的就是第一條。一個(gè)沒有經(jīng)過任何寫作訓(xùn)練的考生寫出來的文章往往充滿了說理性的語句,并且都表達(dá)著同一個(gè)意思,缺少例子和細(xì)節(jié),顯得十分蒼白無力。而一個(gè)接受了一段時(shí)間托福寫作訓(xùn)練的學(xué)生往往會在論證當(dāng)中使用舉例說明的方法。無奈這類例子大多為假設(shè),泛泛而談,語言空洞,很難有說服力。事實(shí)上,當(dāng)我們在閱讀地道的英美人的'文章時(shí),我們就會發(fā)現(xiàn),英美人的文章中是充滿了細(xì)節(jié)的,而這才是中國學(xué)生在進(jìn)行論證時(shí)最缺乏的。
細(xì)節(jié)分為兩個(gè)方面,一是語言的細(xì)化,主要體現(xiàn)在用詞的準(zhǔn)確性上,這是需要一段時(shí)間的積累加上特別訓(xùn)練才能達(dá)到的。二是例子的細(xì)化,體現(xiàn)在描述的細(xì)致性上,要做到這一點(diǎn),除了刻意加上一些人名地名,顯得描寫細(xì)致以外,還需要學(xué)生多看原味英語,細(xì)細(xì)體味。
例如《新概念3》的第44課speed and comfort中描述坐火車的無聊時(shí)就運(yùn)用了很多細(xì)節(jié):Train compartments soon get cramped and stuffy. It is almost impossible to take your mind off the journey. Reading is only a partial solution, for the monotonous rhythm of the wheels clicking on the rails soon lulls you to sleep. During the day, sleep comes in snatches. At night, when you really wish to go to sleep, you rarely manage to do so. If you are lucky enough to get a sleeper, you spend half the night staring at the small blue light in the ceiling or fumbling to find your ticket for inspection. Inevitably you arrive at your destination almost exhausted.
在這段當(dāng)中,幾乎沒有純粹的說理,而是一直在描述一個(gè)我們感同身受的場景,細(xì)節(jié)頗多,讓人一看就很有認(rèn)同感。這樣一種細(xì)節(jié)的堆砌無疑是很多說服力的,點(diǎn)滴之間,便讓人信服。
托福的官方指南(official guide)里也凸顯了細(xì)節(jié)的重要性。P264中給出的范文充分說明了這一點(diǎn)。這篇文章的作者講了一個(gè)情侶間不相互信任的故事,講得很完整,前因后果都交待清楚。而這篇文章只有一個(gè)分論點(diǎn),只舉了一個(gè)例子,遣詞造句都很平庸,但是成績不低,關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)就在于此文對細(xì)節(jié)的描寫很到位。
因此我們的學(xué)生在進(jìn)行托福獨(dú)立寫作的時(shí)候,要注意對于be more specific這一標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的把握。很多時(shí)候,細(xì)致的例子能夠彌補(bǔ)遣詞造句上的不足。

托福獨(dú)立寫作主體段寫法技巧(單觀點(diǎn)篇)
托福獨(dú)立寫作對于不少托?忌鷣碚f是取得高分難以逾越的一道鴻溝,這不僅需要大量的練習(xí),還需要掌握其中的訣竅。今天,小編為各位考生帶來托福獨(dú)立寫作主題段單觀點(diǎn)的寫法點(diǎn)撥,希望對各位考生有所幫助。
對于獨(dú)立寫作我們通常都會選擇五段式結(jié)構(gòu),這個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)包括三個(gè)主體段,按照題型我們可以將寫作類型分為三個(gè):支持反對類(單觀點(diǎn))、對比比較類(雙觀點(diǎn))、自主定義類。首先我們要明確一下定義,單觀點(diǎn)話題就是說題目只要求考生表明自己的態(tài)度,支持或反對,并且題目中沒有任何要求拿來作比較的對象。今天,小編就為各位考生分析一下有關(guān)單觀點(diǎn)類題目的寫作技巧,下面是一道典型的題目:
Topic 20xx.11.3
People who do not work because they have enough money are rarely happy.
這道題就是一道典型的單觀點(diǎn)題目,那些因?yàn)橛凶銐虻腻X而不去工作的人,他們鮮少開心。
針對單觀點(diǎn)話題主體段的展開有兩種方式,舉例我們支持是A觀點(diǎn),先來看第一種寫法。
1. A+A+A
這種寫法代表著我們需要用三個(gè)理由支持自己的選擇。
Topic:It is desirable to know about events from all over the world even if it is unlikely to have any effect on your daily life.
了解世界各地發(fā)生的事情是好的',縱使這些事不會對我們的日常生活產(chǎn)生任何影響。
1. To begin with, being aware of these cultural events means having more topics for communication.
2. In addition, learning news about science is necessary for us to form correct world views in todays fast-changing society.
3. In the end, understanding political incidents serves as an excellent method to broaden our horizons.
在這種寫法里考生可舉出了三個(gè)論點(diǎn)正向支持自己的態(tài)度,認(rèn)為了解這些事情是必要的。但是這種寫法并不適用于每個(gè)考生,因?yàn)閷τ诖蟛糠挚忌鷣碚f,要一口氣想到主體段的三個(gè)理由是有難度的,需要較為豐富的素材積累和較快地反應(yīng)速度才能做到。因此,大部分考生在寫作過程中傾向于選擇讓步段的寫作方式,可以快速簡單有效地解決主體段分論點(diǎn)。下面我們來看第二種寫法。
2. A+A+(-A)
這種寫法代表,前兩個(gè)論點(diǎn)正向表達(dá)考生的觀點(diǎn),最后一個(gè)主體段讓步一下,以達(dá)到全面看待topic的效果。在此引用一個(gè)例子:
Scientists should be responsible for negative impacts of their discoveries?
Disagree
1. The aim and motivation of scientists research is to transform the world and improve peoples life.
2. The results of most discoveries are advantageous to our society.
3. Admittedly, we should not overlook that in some cases, scientists inventions lead to negative impacts.However, this kind of impact often is not created by scientists. It could be the consequence of peoples improper use.
這道題我們的寫法依然是先用兩個(gè)理由解釋我們?yōu)槭裁闯址磳Φ膽B(tài)度,然后再用一個(gè)相反的觀點(diǎn)削弱我們的態(tài)度,從而達(dá)到全面看待問題的效果。最后一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)的邏輯是,雖然承認(rèn)有負(fù)面影響,但同時(shí)為科學(xué)開脫:這些消極的影響并非出自科學(xué)家之手,而是由于人們的不恰當(dāng)使用造成的。
托福獨(dú)立寫作經(jīng)典12
動靜結(jié)合總相宜
例1:她按時(shí)到校上學(xué)。
動態(tài)句:She attends school regularly.
靜態(tài)句:Her attendance at school is regular.
例2:他擁有一所房子。
動態(tài)句:He possesses a house.
靜態(tài)句:He is in possession of a house.
技巧小結(jié):中文習(xí)慣動詞占優(yōu)勢,但是英語里面靜態(tài)詞匯(名詞、介詞、副詞、形容詞等)占優(yōu)勢。所以在寫作時(shí)同學(xué)們應(yīng)該考慮英語句子靜態(tài)特征的表達(dá)。
具體抽象互補(bǔ)足
例3:她的樸素衣著使他顯得更美。
具體句:Her simple dress adds to her beauty.
抽象句:The simplicity of her dress adds to her beauty.
例4:溫暖的`房間使我昏昏欲睡。
具體句:The warm room made me sleepy.
抽象句:The warmth of the room made me sleepy.
技巧小結(jié):中文表達(dá)重具體,英文表達(dá)重抽象。
物稱人稱相交替
例5: 我永遠(yuǎn)忘不了這個(gè)教訓(xùn)。
人稱主語:
I will neverforget the lesson.
物稱主語:
The lesson willbe rootedin my memory forever.
例6: 不同的團(tuán)隊(duì)成員對工作有不同的態(tài)度。
人稱主語:
Different team members have different attitudes towards work.
物稱主語:
Attitudes towards work vary from person to person.
技巧小結(jié):英語主語常用人稱和物稱兩種形式表達(dá)。物稱主語注重“什么事發(fā)生在什么人身上”,人稱主語側(cè)重“什么人怎么樣”。

1, 觀點(diǎn)明確
觀點(diǎn)是一篇文章的靈魂。如果剛剛準(zhǔn)備作文,看到題目,不知道怎么樣說,那么可以先參考李笑來的范文。一來看別人是如何闡述自己觀點(diǎn),二來也算同時(shí)準(zhǔn)備口語。但是到了后期,一定要看到一個(gè)題目的時(shí)候,能形成自己的觀點(diǎn),而不是人云亦云。這一點(diǎn)是托福獨(dú)立寫作能夠拿到高分的最重要的因素。
2,邏輯清晰,論據(jù)具體。
托福獨(dú)立作文要求展開充分well developed。怎么叫充分展開呢,一個(gè)題目,如果表示完全同意或反對,那么就顯得太極端,太片面,通常只能得到很低的分?jǐn)?shù)。但是簡單的各打五十大板的做法也不可取。最簡單的解決辦法就是在照顧平衡的基礎(chǔ)上有所側(cè)重,也就是說,在論述一個(gè)問題的時(shí)候,一定要有所傾向,但是對另外的觀點(diǎn)也要適當(dāng)?shù)闹┕P墨。
除了清晰的邏輯,還需要具體合適的論據(jù)以及例子。天道專家建議考生不要去背別人的例子然后生搬硬套到自己的文章中去。例子不在多,在于是否貼切(appropriate),有說服力的例子一兩個(gè)就足夠了。
3、語言
托福獨(dú)立作文的語言上面達(dá)到以下3個(gè)要求就足夠了:準(zhǔn)確、流暢、豐富。準(zhǔn)確是最基本的,要求考生的文章在拼寫、語法、用詞以及搭配上沒有嚴(yán)重的錯(cuò)誤。流暢是指文章整體的行文要一氣呵成,邏輯進(jìn)路清晰可見。在做到準(zhǔn)確、流暢的基礎(chǔ)上,語言的豐富多變是體現(xiàn)一個(gè)考生語言能力的.重要指標(biāo),在同一篇文章里,用詞要盡量避免重復(fù),適當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)候,可能還要運(yùn)用一些修辭手法。
一篇好的托福獨(dú)立寫作最重要的評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)就是有個(gè)有效的論點(diǎn),其次是清晰的邏輯,充分展開。最后才是語言。只要大家做到這3個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn),那么托福獨(dú)立寫作也就不是那么難了。當(dāng)然,這些都不是能在朝夕之間就可以做到的。需要平時(shí)點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴的訓(xùn)練與積累。希望本文對考生的備考生涯有所幫助!

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 more integrity 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.

一.審題
在托福獨(dú)立寫作考試中,考生應(yīng)該學(xué)會審題,如果考生在審題中出現(xiàn)失誤的話,就算考生的論述再清晰,也不會取得高分的。根據(jù)以往的獨(dú)立寫作的題目,前程百利小編認(rèn)為,可以把獨(dú)立寫作中的題型分為觀點(diǎn)選擇類,比較對比類。建議考生在看到題目的時(shí)候,首先把題目通讀1-3遍,著重看在題目中的名詞和動詞,如果題目中給出了兩個(gè)觀點(diǎn)或者是一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)的兩個(gè)方面,要求考生進(jìn)行比較論述并給出個(gè)人的觀點(diǎn),那就是觀點(diǎn)選擇類的題目,比如在TPO1中,問考生agree or disagree with the following statement就是觀點(diǎn)選擇題;如果要求考生根據(jù)兩個(gè)對立的觀點(diǎn)做出選擇就是比較對比類型的題比如在TPO11中了,讓考生在針對人們關(guān)于電腦的兩個(gè)不同的認(rèn)知中進(jìn)行選擇就是這類題目。
二.怎樣謀篇布局
在確定題目類型之后,考生就應(yīng)該進(jìn)行謀篇布局了。但是小編認(rèn)為,不管是什么類型的題目,考生在組織論述的時(shí)候都應(yīng)該采用五段式的方式表達(dá)自己的觀點(diǎn),而且需要考生注意的是,在確定論點(diǎn)先后順序的時(shí)候應(yīng)該慎重,要有邏輯性的安排這些論點(diǎn)。比如考生可以按照這些論點(diǎn)的重要性進(jìn)行排列,把最能表達(dá)自己觀點(diǎn)的部分放在首位,把最不能表達(dá)自己觀點(diǎn)的內(nèi)容放在最后一個(gè)自然段進(jìn)行論述;或者考生在安排論點(diǎn)的時(shí)候可以按照范圍的大小來進(jìn)行排列,總之一定要有邏輯。
1.觀點(diǎn)選擇類
在這個(gè)題目中,考生直接選擇其中的一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)寫就可以了,一定要注意不要將在題目中出現(xiàn)的不同的觀點(diǎn)進(jìn)行對比,在表明自己觀點(diǎn)的基礎(chǔ)上,考生可以選擇三個(gè)方面進(jìn)行論證,這些論點(diǎn)之間可以是層層遞進(jìn)的關(guān)系,也可以說平行關(guān)系,最后再總述論點(diǎn)即可。我們以TPO5為例,如果考生選擇的是不同意這個(gè)People today spend too much time on personal enjoyment-doing things they like to do rather than doing things they should do觀點(diǎn)的話,就可以這樣采用平行的方式展開論述。首先現(xiàn)代社會提倡人們追求自由,越來越多的人從其中收益了即As the development of democracy, the ideas and behaviors of individual are respected and encouraged to some extent.其次人們這樣選擇并不意味著大家放棄了accountability 即However, spending much time on personal enjoyment does not indicate that people ignore their accountability which should be taken.最后追求個(gè)人的享受,幫助大家去assume the responsibility 。
2. 比較對比類
在托福寫作中的'比較對比型文章中,考生一定要注意選擇其中的一方,不要寫中立觀點(diǎn)的文章。在開頭的過程中,考生就要選擇好自己要支持的觀點(diǎn),做到有效的回應(yīng)題目,闡明文章主題。在正文部分也就是2-4自然段,在論證的過程中,考生可以從日常生活中比如家庭,生活,社會這幾方面進(jìn)行選擇,在論證的過程中,如果考生并沒有那些華麗的辭藻可以補(bǔ)充自己的觀點(diǎn),建議考生選擇直接論證的方式,說兩點(diǎn)自己選擇的好處,然后說另一個(gè)選項(xiàng)的不好的地方,并且用舉例子的方式來證明自己的觀點(diǎn)。比如在TPO13中,如果考生認(rèn)為 the extended family is still important就可以從以下來論述。首先,從家庭的角度來說,人多了可以幫助家里做的事情多了,即One of the important uses of the extended family is to help with family affairs and housework.其次從社會的角度來說,人多了就意味著家里人可以獲得信息的渠道增多了。Another important thing that extended family can to is to provide information to and educate family members. 最后,說小家庭的不好,家庭小了人們?nèi)菀鬃兊霉陋?dú)。In addition, nowadays people tend to live alone with their small care family rather than live with many family members within a big family.
托福獨(dú)立寫作考試并不像大家想象中的那么困難,所以考生應(yīng)該在掌掌握以上技巧和方法的基礎(chǔ)上,采用歷年真題不斷練習(xí),爭取在考試中取得高分!
