托福写作今昔对比类话题解析及素材推荐 篇1

Firstly, it is high time that government arouse people’s awareness of the importance of physical soundness. Along with the acceleration of social development, people, especially young people, are confronted with unprecedentedly fierce competition. They need to work very hard to guarantee a decent life, which causes them way heavier pressures than before. Under such circumstances, most of them are prone to be caught in a sub-healthy state. Given that it is governments’ responsibilities to improve citizens’ health condition, government should increase access to public exercise equipment in the neighborhood and raise people’s awareness of the importance of doing exercises regularly through mass media.

托福写作素材:科技类话题 篇2

Over the last two decades, our lives have been slowly taken over by technology. Take a moment to look around you. How many screens do you see? Did you include the one you’re reading this on?

Our Wi-Fi-enabled gadgets have changed the way we work, play, and even raise our children. Today’s offices would be unrecognizable to workers of the past thanks to the proliferation of emails, video conferencing, tablets, laptop computers, and other relatively recent innovations. Meanwhile, more and more of our personal time is influenced by our gadgets (OK, smart phones) with each passing day.

...

The novelty of constant online connections and instant communication may have begun to wear thin for older generations, but the next wave of Americans have no such qualms. Their tech-dependent lifestyles are already causing huge changes in both the professional and private spheres. The change may be inevitable…unless theWi-Fi cuts out, of course.

Our Digitized Professional Lives

As many as 79% of employees now “work on virtual teams,” be it by email, online collaboration, messaging, video conferences, or some combination of any of the above. A Pew Research study found “94% of jobholders are Internet users.” This includes full-time, part-time, and freelance workers in technology companies, big corporations, and small businesses, who work in cities, the suburbs, rural America, and everywhere in between.

For most of the last century, communicating professionally meant writing letters, sending faxes, or spending hours on the phone. Not anymore. Email is now theprimary means of communication in the modern workplace. We are communicating more, faster, and better than ever before. And employers have been reaping the benefits. A major report cited by British newspaper The Telegraph found that the incorporation of technology into the workplace has led to an “84% increase in productivity per hour for office workers since the 1970s.” The major influencers? Email, business software, and yes, even cell phones.

Technology Gets Personal

We don’t leave technology at the workplace. In fact, our private lives might beeven more tech-enabled than our professional lives. In the 1980s and 1990s, our televisions were often the height of our home technology. Some people had clunky personal computers, a Nintendo for the kids, and maybe even a telephone in their car(remember those?).

Information from the Census Bureau tells us that 15% of homes had a personal computer in 1989; by that number climbed to 75%. Now we have desktop computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, Apple watches, GPS-enabled cars, and more coming every day. Forget unplugging after the 5 or-6 o’clock whistle blows—we plug in instead.

In fact, going without tech might trigger an existential crisis for some (that sound you hear is Albert Camus rolling over in his grave). Our technology helps us learn,date, eat, socialize, and so much more.

The only time we don’t use technology is when we are exercising flying sleeping, well, dead. For now…

A New Generation of Digital Natives

Anyone born before the advent of technology in their daily lives is considered a“digital immigrant.” Older generations invented our tech-enabled society, but thegenerations born in this millennium are the first true “digital natives.”

While the “digital rehab” programs older generations have begun using to push back against the all-consuming digital saturation are gaining traction, these programs may make as much sense to younger generations as getting up from the couch to change the channel on the TV. The genie is out of the bottle, and technology is said to have even changed the way younger generations perceive reality.

We’re assuming they perceive reality as that thing happening just beyond the horizon of their laptop, tablet, or smartphone screen (as long as someone is tweeting about it). Although it’s easy to make fun of the next generation’s digital obsession, it will soon be impossible to ignore it. The digital natives are on pace to outnumber the digital immigrants before long.

The Bottom Line

Technology is now so integrated with our lives that going without it can causesevere anxiety for some. It’s not hard to see why. Technology has taken over.

Both our professional and personal lives are now technology dependent. While older generations are fighting back with unplugged retreats, the next wave of Americans can’t picture their lives without tech. They might not have anything to worry about. The future favors these digital natives.

新托福写作素材:整合学校资源

Reorganize: Resources

Resources of time, money, and facilities must be restructured. The school day should allow for more in-depth project work beyond the 45-minute period, including block scheduling of classes two hours or longer. Schools should not close for a three-month summer vacation, but should remain open for student activities, teacher development, and community use. Through the practice of looping, elementary school teachers stay with a class for two or more years,deepening their relationships with students. More money in school districtsshould be directed to the classroom rather than the bureaucracy.

New school construction and renovation should emphasize school design that supports students and teachers collaborating in teams, with pervasive access to technology. Schools can be redesigned to also serve as community centers that provide health and social services for families, as well as counseling and parenting classes.

Reality Check: The school year at the Alice Carlson Applied Learning Center, in Fort Worth, Texas, consists of four blocks of about nine weeks each. Intersession workshops allow its K-5 students time for hands-on arts, science, and computer projects or sports in addition to language arts and math enrichment.

同学们,你们以为ETS的阅卷人是吃素的吗?你自以为的 “高分作文”,人家可是一眼就能看出来是千篇 一律的模板。

那么,怎样写才能写出一篇好作文呢?

写出一篇高分作文,首先思路要正确,要站在出题人的角度思考问题。

我们用一个写作话题举例:“为了晋升,到底要承担更多(个体)工作,还是更多参与团队任务?”。有同学一上来看到 “团队” 二字就乐开花,大书特书团队合作如何效率高,只字不提对“个体晋升” 这件事。ETS花半天出了题,我们是不是应该多思考一些再落笔?比如这道题,我们既要写出团队协作的效率高,又要写出个体晋升的便携性,有对比才能显出文章的深度。即便准备了模板,也要想想怎么把模板里面有价值的信息逻辑正确地嵌入到文章里。

说完思路,我们来说说语言方面,ETS要求正确和逻辑流畅的句子。至于那种5句话里面就有5个逗号,1个连词都没有,像 “there have many people say” 这种,男阅卷人看了要沉默,女阅卷人看了要流泪,我们是不是还要在基本语法上多下些功夫?

托福写作例证素材 篇5

I walked up the street, gazing about till near the market-house I met a boy with bread. I had made many a meal on bread, and, inquiring where he got it, I went immediately to the baker?s he directed me to, in Second-street, and asked for biscuit, intending such as we had in Boston; but they, it seems, were not made in Philadelphia. Then I asked for a three-penny loaf, and was told they had none such. So not considering or knowing the difference of money, and the greater cheapness nor the names of his bread, I bade him give me three-penny worth of any sort.

He gave me, accordingly, three great puffy rolls, I was surprised at the quantity, but took it, and, having no room in my pockets, walked off with a roll under each arm, and eating the other. Thus I went up Market-street as far as Fourth-street, passing by the door of Mr. Read, my future wife?s father; when he, standing at the door, saw me, and thought I made, as I certainly did, a most awkward, ridiculous appearance. Then I turned and went down Chestnut-street and part of Walnut street, eating my roll all the way, and, coming round, found myself again at Market-street wharf, near the boat I came in , to which I went for a draught of the river water; and, being filled with one of my rolls, gave the other two to a woman and her child that came down the river in the boat with us, and were waiting to go farther.

Thus refreshed, I walked again up the street, which by this time had many clean-dressed people in it, who were all walking the same way. I joined them, and thereby was led into the great meeting-house of the Quakers near the market. I sat down among them, and, after looking round awhile and hearing nothing said, being very drowsy through labor and want of rest the preceding night, I fell fast asleep, and continued so till the meeting broke up. When one was kind enough to rouse me, this was, therefore, the first house I was in, or slept in, in Philadelphia.

Walking down again toward the river, and, looking in the faces of people, I met a young Quaker man, whose countenance I liked, and, accosting him requested he would tell me where a stranger could get lodging . We were then near the sign of the Three Mariners. “Here”, says he “is one place that entertains strangers, but it is not a reputable house; if thee wilt walk with me, I?ll show thee a better.” He brought me to the Crooked Billet in Water-street. Here I got a dinner; and, while I was eating it, several sly questions were asked me, as it seemed to be suspected form my youth and appearance, that I might be some runaway.

托福写作素材:网络(范文) 篇6

托福写作的题材涉及面很广,不过很多都是跟我们的生活息息相关的事物和现象,所以我们可以在托福写作备考的时候抓住一些易考点搜集托福写作素材,一旦考到类似的作文题目,也有话可谈。

下面,我们就来积累一写“关于网络”的托福写作素材。

1.网络的作用

The technology revolution is upon us.In the past, there have been many triumphs in the world of technology.To this date, people are able to communicate over thousands of miles with the greatest of ease.The Internet connects nearly 400 million users worldwide and is an essential part of how we work, play, communicate, and conduct commerce.We use the Internet in ways that seemed unimaginable in the past.2.互联网使用的四大障碍

local information barriers

literacy barriers

language barriers

cultural diversity barriers

3.网络的好处

The Internet provides convenience for people to learn at home.Internet based training gas become a common business tool used to gain advancements in current jobs.Tutoring over the Internet is also available.Business on the Internet is a growing technology.Business on the Internet has no geographic boundaries;it has access to more consumers.Approximately 150 businesses join the Internet every day.There is less labor force needed and it is open 24 hours a day.The Internet is also a bigger and cheaper way to advertise.In the past 20 years, the Internet has changed a number of areas in society, especially the business world.In the last 40 years, the Internet has gone from a method of defense communication for the government, to a business venture for an entrepreneur or a fortune 500-company.The Internet is a way for gaining consumers, products and capital for a business.In a world of light-speed data transmission, any individual with little training and expertise can make a fortune from the

Internet.Many companies, like Amazon.com or eBay, thrive from business done through Internet transactions.4.网络的危害

data leakage

virus infringe one’s privacy

national security

censorship

The Internet has many great uses, but, as anything else, negative things can be done there as well.The beauty of the Internet is that it is so large that it’s nearly impossible to keep track of what bad things everyone is doing.A few examples are someone can steal a cell phone and then by using the Internet, they can reprogram the telephone to work off someone’s account and not be traced.Other examples are the pirates of software.Someone can get a program that Microsoft sells for about one thousand dollars for free and it can’t be traced.There is another fact that nearly anything can be traded online, like drugs, weapons such as high power guns, bombs, and the list for these items goes on and on.One of the worst things that

the police really want to get their hands on is Child Pornography.It is not so hard to keep track of when people had to go out and hand deliver this stuff, but through the Internet the scum who partake in this don’t have to leave their homes.A big problem is the fact that underage kids can see what they are not meant to.This does not just end up back at porn though;there are images of extreme violence on humans and animals.5.技术提高了人类生存条件还是恶化了人类生存条件

Philosophical debates have arisen over the present and future use of technology in society, with disagreements over whether technology improves the human condition or worsens it.Neo-Luddism, anarcho-primitivism, and similar movements criticize the pervasiveness of technology in the modern world, claiming that it harms the environment and alienates people;proponents of ideologies such as trans-humanism and techno-progressivism view continued technological progress as beneficial to society and the human condition.Indeed, until recently, it was believed that the development of technology was restricted only to human beings, but recent scientific studies indicate that other primates and certain dolphin

communities have developed simple tools ad learned to pass their knowledge to other generations.6.科技对家庭的影响

托福写作名人名言素材 篇7

酷评:

这句话说得很在理。这样我想起英语里的一个副词,“too”。这个小小的副词,却让不少同学理解错、用错。“too”的意思是“太...,过于”,体现了说话者或写作者的一种否定或批评态度。任何形容词,不管原来的感情色彩和褒贬色彩如何,前面放上一个“too”来修饰,一下子就变得负面起来,如“this deal is too good (to make)”(言下之意可能是这里面值得怀疑,可能有猫腻),反过来,“a man can never be too humorous with his girl friend”这句话的意思不是“一个男人和女朋友在一起时不可以太幽默”,而是“一个男人和女朋友在一起要尽可能幽默”(也就是“不管多幽默都不过分”)。有这样一道托福独立作文题目:

这里面的“too much”体现出了写这句话的人是不认为花很多钱在宠物身上是一件好的事情的。因此,选择“agree”事实上就意味着你认为“people should not spend that much on pets”;相反,如果“disagree”,认为“people do not spend too much on pets”,并不一定意味着“人们没有花很多钱在宠物身上”,而是“花这样的钱在宠物身上是合理的、不过分的”。在写文章的过程中,还有同学写这样的错句:“Spending too much on pets is good, because they are as close to us as family members.”“spending too much”已经是一大错误了,怎么能说“good”呢?这样写的同学没有弄清楚“too much”和“very much”的区别。

使用提示:

由于本句强调“适度”的重要性,因此适用于有“too”或“the most important”、“the best”等绝对词的题目。

1、托福作文题目“现在人们是不是讲太多钱花在了宠物身上”:可以用来支持“虽然养宠物能对我们有一些好处(陪伴、树立责任感),但是在它们身上花过多的钱是不应该的”的论述。

托福写作练打字整背素材 篇9

托福写作速度提升攻略一 机考打字速度提升

作为互联网的一代,绝大部分考生对键盘应当是相当熟悉对,并且用中文打字的速度也是十分的快速,但是为什么偏偏英文就不行呢?答案很简单,大家熟悉的是中文拼音的排列组合。而英文就不行,考生对英文单词的陌生感远远超出了自己的想象,所以模考时总能看到他们不停地思考,不停地删除重打,时间也就随之流逝。

想要提高写作速度,离不开熟练度的提高。每天半小时,电脑左右两边各一word文档,左边是英文材料,从词汇到句型到段落到篇章,右边是空白文档。先边看边打,再试着把左边遮去,这样反复操练,既提升了速度,又巩固了词句,提升了语感,还能顺便背下几个好的段落。

托福写作速度提升攻略二 备好模板能提速

一个好的模板毫无疑问能够帮助大家节省时间。但是这样做也存在一定的弊病。首先对学生写作能力的真正的提升是有害的。其次对提分来说更不现实,因为ETS考官甚至包括E-rater(电脑阅卷)都很容易识别出模板的套路,并且模版属于别人,与个人的写作风格和用词习惯格格不入,不是填词就能解决的。

这里强调的是“思维模版”。你在写作前需要对议论文开头主体结尾段中地每一部分你需要往哪个方向写和想表达什么意图掌握清楚。拿开头为例,有很多方法,比如时间对比、经历描述、引言、数据、背景、设问等等。实际考试只有一个开头,不需要掌握所有方法,但要用精其中一种。

托福写作速度提升攻略三 逻辑思维速度提升

托福独立写作虽然话题简单,却考察着学生较强的问题地解释和分析能力,虽然不需要太深刻,但一定要具体有道理。很多考生在论证的时候,要么是想不出来,要么就是解释的没有逻辑没有条理。

从长远看,多阅读和多思考,多参加一些能锻炼思辨能力的活动是非常有效的。但如果短期提升思考速度,就必须掌握一些常见问题的常规思考角度。

托福写作速度提升攻略四 备好写作素材能提速

材料就是文章的内容,考生一定要有一个自己的材料库。托福写作题目有它自身的合理性,它能保证任何一个有过生活学习经历的人都能完整地写出一篇好作文。

在这里大家不要担心自己的事例故事不够新颖不够深刻,托福写作重点考察的是学术环境下的语言交流,而不是阅读量和思想的深刻性。只要你能把观点表达清楚,证明清楚,具体用什么证明不是最重要的,合理即可。

托福写作速度提升对托福写作备考来说非常重要,大家一定要重视起来。托福写作速度提升主要有四个方面,分别是打字速度、思考速度、模板提速和素材提速。把握好这几个方面,托福写作速度肯定能得到非常不错的提升。

怎样提高托福写作的可读性

1、文章结构清晰直观才能一看就懂

托福两篇作文中,综合写作其实是没太大发挥空间的,大家只要把听到和读过的材料内容统合起来表达出来就算完成了任务。能够做文章的其实还是独立写作。而从文章要求上来说,独立写作其实就类似于大家以前考语文时候写过的议论文,而且是议论文当中的立论文。对于这类文章来说,逻辑推理和论述结构可谓重中之重。想要让自己的观点旗帜鲜明地竖立起来,想要让自己的论述具有说服力条理更清晰,那么考生在文章结构上就需要做到清晰明确一目了然,要让考官一眼就能看懂你的观点在哪里了,每个分段的论点在哪里,又举出了哪些例子。胡乱堆砌材料凑字数或者一大堆空话没有实际内容干货,这些只会让你的文章给人留下负面印象造成扣分。因此,大家在写托福独立作文时,一定要注意把自己的文章结构搭建好。考生如果担心自己在写文章时会出现结构上面的问题,不妨在动笔前先在草稿纸上大致列个提纲,这样之后写起来就不容易出现跑题等问题了,文章结构也能得到保证。

2、加强文章词句质量提升阅读体验

现在的人很讲究用户体验,也就是使用产品服务时能够给用户带来舒适愉悦的感受,而在小编看来,其实写托福作文也要考虑到考官的阅读体验,一篇枯燥平庸,句式单调用词重复的文章肯定不会给考官带来太好的体验。因此,大家就需要在写作的遣词造句上做一些努力。词汇方面建议大家少用难词偏词或是口语化的词汇,多使用一些经常见诸报端杂志上的书面用词,同时注意不要重复用词,多用各类同近义词来展现自己的词汇量基础和用词功底。而在句式上也是一样,从头到尾都是清一色的简单句肯定是不行的,但强行加入大量长难句也会影响体验,小编建议大家长短句结合使用,多用一些不太复杂但能体现句式功底的从句是比较理想的选择。另外遣词造句都要地道,各种一看就是chinglish中式英文的表达一定要尽量避免。这样一来就能营造出一种native speaker写的文章的感觉,考官的阅读体验得到提升,作文评价和分数也就能随之水涨船高了。

托福写作:必备习语

在托福写作中取得高分的奥妙是什么呢?大家可以想想看,如果我们作为考官,看见两份由国外的考生所完成的中文写作,一份语言平平,通篇没有亮点之处。而另一篇则是妙语连珠,恰当地使用了几句成语,我们会认为哪一位考生的中文能力更有说服力呢?答案是不言而喻的。

被中国人称为“西方成语”的“英语习语”向来被看作是西方文化的代表之一。它以其精练、短小、幽默、风趣且富于哲理性的特征而广泛地被英、美国家的人们所接受并被广泛应用于人们的日常生活交际、报刊、杂志以及电视广播媒体之中。作为传承、记载文化与语言的基本工具之一,它在英、美国家人们的日常生活中起着举足轻重的作用。在英语行文中适当地使用习语不但可以避免千篇 一律的表达,而且可以成为考官加分的重要因素。

参加滴答托福作文互改小组>>

那么,作为中国学生,怎样通过学习习语来提高自己的英语写作呢?

第一,要多看原版英语报刊文章。比如在英国著名媒体Guardian中曾经发表过一篇文章US envoy to Iraq: 'We have opened the Pandora's box' 中的第一句话〝The US ambassador to Baghdad conceded yesterday that the Iraq invasion had opened a Pandora's box' of sectarian conflicts which could lead to a regional war.〞很多同学可能看过后不知道这句话究竟是什么意思。是美国大使承认侵略伊拉克的行为打开了一个什么样的盒子吗?显然是不对的。其实,Pandora's box'这个短语是一个英语传统习语,Pandora 原是希腊神话传说中从天宫下凡的人类第一个女性,Pandora’s box 之意表面上看来是贵重之物,而骨子里却是祸害,其含义为“万恶之源”、“造成极大混乱”。所以这句话的意思可以理解为:驻扎巴格达的美国大使昨日承认由美国发动的伊拉克战争造成了当地的宗教斗争。如果每天可以阅读一两篇原版的英语报刊文章,遇到类似于这样不会的习语查查字典,再整理到自己的笔记本里,这样的效果是非常好的。如果写作文的时候能加上这样一句,可以给文章增色不少。

在 10月份的托福考试中的独立写作部分的题目是〝Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? In twenty years there will be fewer cars in use than there in today?〞如果想赞成这句话的考生,想表达汽车是污染之源可以就这么写:〝Car is the Pandora’s box of pollution.〞这当然比〝Car is the cause of pollution〞高明很多。

第二,可以选择性地听听VOA的相关节目。在VOA Special English节目中,每周日Report固定节目为Words and Their Stories(词语掌故)。它的内容主要是各种词汇与短语、习语、俚语的典故与表达方法的说明,长约五分钟。这一专题节目的一大好处在于,听众可以听故事的过程里了解每一个词语生动有趣的词语和习惯用法。在轻松愉快的氛围下,学生可以主动地掌握知识。比如在2月3日词语掌故的节目中,与hit 相关的各个习语就得到了介绍,在介绍〝hit the spot〞的过程中,播音员先介绍这个习语的起源,原来“hit the spot”一开始的意思是射箭正达靶心,后来随着历史的进展,这个短语的意思渐渐演变成了特指食物或者饮料特别让人满意的意思。最后还给了听众一个例子,百事可乐在多年前曾经出了一首广告歌,其中有一句话,〝Pepsi Cola hits the spot. Twelve four ounces, that's a lot.〞意思就是百事可乐让人们十分满意。用这种方式学习,学生们可以较完全地了解到一个习语的方方面面,这样对它的记忆也会较为牢固。

托福写作考试流程解析 篇10

托福写作考试流程详细解析

一. 托福写作考试时间

通常托福写作考试是接在托福口语考试以后,口语考试只要考完了便会进入写作考试的界面。托福写作可划分成2部分,一是综合写作,二是立写作分:托福写作首先是20分钟的综合写作,而后是30分钟的立写作。

当到了综合写作界面,是左边出现限时3分钟的阅读材料,当过了3分钟以后,材料会自动消失,又开始播放听力材料,听力材料结束后,有关才隐去的阅读内容都会在屏幕的左边又重新出现,并且在屏幕右侧会有使大家输入的空格,限时20分钟,最少150字(注:写作中大小写都是需要自己转换,段落自己分),如果提前答完检查没问题了,可以点击右上角的continue进入独立写作。

独立写作左侧是给出的论述题目,右侧的空格输入内容,限时30分钟,少300词,若大家提前答完同时通过检查无误以后,可以交卷。

二.托福综合写作答题步骤

1.阅读文章

需要大家提升快速阅读能力,首先读懂文章主干(文章观点+论点),其次理解阅读细节部分,开头段快速看背景,这样可以帮助理解文章观点,中间段可以观察论点后细节部分,帮助更好理解文章论点。想了解如何提高托福写作的相关信息,请登录三立教育。

2.听力材料(重点)

捕捉听力文章主干(容易),关键是捕捉听力反驳细节(难度),尽量的听见每一句反驳细节(更大难度)

3.写文章

描述阅读以及听力对应关系,重点描述听力内容,熟悉模版。描述过程中总结精炼阅读内容。

三.托福独立写作答题步骤

1.审题:浏览题干,判断题型;根据题型,决定思路;根据观点,给出论点

2.文章结构:文章需要有很好的结构组织性;针对这一点希望大家在实际写作的过程里注意两点内容,首先是文章整体的结构性,具体表现为:要求开头段表明文章观点,中间段表明论点与结尾段重述观点以及总结论点。第二点,段落内结构组织性:要求有论点以及对应的例子来进行支撑。

托福写作中的逻辑结构分析

一. 学术性文章的段落结构

学术性文章的自然段落,一般需要具备两个组成部分:

(1) 主旨句:表达段落的主旨,即本段想要表达的核心内容是什么;

(2) 细节:为了详细说明段落中心含义,所罗列的相关支持内容,即本段通过哪些例证来阐明主旨句。

主旨句+细节,托福文章段落大都遵循这种结构,考生只要准确的定位段落主旨就能抓住文章的主要内容,其他部分作为论证就可以略。

总结:当考生们了解了这种 篇章结构,对文章框架的把握就会做到心里有数,更有利于提高阅读速度和定位有效信息的准确度。

二. 文章论证中常见的逻辑关系

1、因果关系

明显因果关系

明显因果关系中常出现下列标志性词语:because, because of, since, for, as, due to, owing to, in that, so, so that, as a result, therefore, thereby, hence, consequently, accordingly.

隐含因果关系

从下列单词和词组也可推出隐含的因果关系:

a. 表示导致含义: lead to, cause, result, result in, give rise to, render, produce, make等使役动词, support, stimulate, spur, spark, fuel, motivate, prompt.

b. 由……而来: come from, result from, originate, derive from, initiate from, stem from, be attributable to, be responsive to.

2、比较关系

明显比较关系: as…as / more…than/ less…than/comparing to.../compared with.

隐含比较关系:

a. “变化”: change, vary, alter, modify, revise, increase, decrease,destroy,develop, improve, progress, advance, grow, degenerate, continue, remain, stay,stable.

b. “对比”: same, different, while.

c. “超越”: surpass, exceed, transcend, excel.

3、否定关系

明显否定关系: no, not, none, never, neither, deny.

隐含否定关系: fail to, absent from, lack, lack of, refuse, few, little, 否定词缀less.

掌握以上基本的逻辑词语能帮助我们更好更快地识别文章的逻辑。

如何从四方面提高托福写作速度

托福实战考试速度取决于四个层面:

一是打字速度

其实我丝毫不怀疑学生对键盘的熟悉程度,因为绝大部分人中文聊天时速度已经超神了。那为什么英文就是打不快呢?答案很简单,大家熟悉的是中文拼音的排列组合,很容易反映出这个声母后面跟着的是哪个韵母,这个韵母后面又该跟哪个声母。

而英文就不行,考生对英文单词的陌生感远远超出了自己的想象,所以模考时总能看到他们不停地思考,不停地删除重打,时间也就随之流逝。

我的建议是,每天半小时,电脑左右两边各一word文档,左边是英文材料,从词汇到句型到段落到 篇章,右边是空白文档。先边看边打,再试着把左边遮去,这样反复操练,既提升了速度,又巩固了词句,提升了语感,说不定还能顺便背下几个好的段落。

二是“模板”

一个好的模板毫无疑问能够帮助大家节省时间。但我几乎从来不会给学生一个英文模版让他去背,然后考试直接往里填单词。这样做的危害实在太大了。首先对学生写作能力提升来说这是一个很不负责任的做法。其次对提分来说更不现实,因为ETS考官甚至包括 E-rater (电脑阅卷) 都很容易识别出模板举行,而且模版属于别人,与你的写作风格和用词习惯格格不入,这不是简单地填几个单词就能解决的。

我所强调的是一个“思维模版”。你在写作前需要对议论文开头主体结尾段中地每一部分你需要往哪个方向写和想表达什么意图掌握得非常清楚。拿开头为例,我上课会提到很多方法,比如时间对比,经历描述,引言,数据,背景,设问等等。这个考生只需大概了解,因为实际考试只有一个开头,你不需要掌握所有方法,但要用精其中一种。

有的考生会把自己的“思维模板”精确到每句话,如开头第一句话写大背景,第二句话由大背景过度到解题关键词,第三句话让步分析反方理由加列举现象,第四句话引出自己观点。他就会在平时练习中反复训练这种模式,所以考试的时候能保持一个异常清晰地思路,从而节省大量思考徘徊时间。

三是理由

我常常讲英文写作不好的,中文写作也不见得会好。托福独立写作虽然话题简单,却考察着学生较强的问题地解释和分析能力,虽然不需要有多深刻,但一定要具体有道理。为自己的观点想理由成了很多考生头疼的问题,要么是想不出来,要么就是解释的没有逻辑没有条理。

从长远看,多阅读和多思考,多参加一些能锻炼思辨能力的活动是非常有效的途径。但如果想短期提升思考速度,就必须掌握一些常见问题的常规思考角度。

我在上课时会给学生归纳一些常见地破题角度,举个例子,一旦碰到“给钱”这个话题,我往往建议考生先分两个大角度:给钱者和被给钱者。给钱者之所以出钱,第一对自身有好处,第二对方值得我给。对自身的好处又可分为两点来讨论,一是实的,二是虚的。

如果这个“给钱者”是政府国家,“实”就成了税收、三大产业、就业、基础设施等角度,“虚”就成了形象、面子、精神、美等角度。其他还可以细分,在这就不便多讲。考生只要掌握一种破题方法,自然能够举一反三,迅速想出理由,提高解题速度。

四是材料

材料就是文章的内容,下面也会提到一些,这里只说一点,考生一定要有一个自己的材料库,哪怕是编的,平时编好总胜过临场发挥。有人会说我没有例子,我会回答这是不可能。托福写作题目是有它自身的合理性,它能保证任何一个有过生活学习经历的人都能完整地写出一篇好作文。

在这里大家不要担心自己的事例故事不够新颖不够深刻,托福写作重点考察的是学术环境下的语言交流,而不是阅读量和思想的深刻性。只要你能把观点表达清楚,证明清楚,具体用什么证明根本不重要,合理即可。

托福写作的权威备考材料

1、关于托福综合写作:

学习TPO即可,无需再学习其他的材料。综合写作本身考察的是阅读、听力和写作的综合能力,对写作能力的要求并不高。TPO上的真题练10套左右,读一读相应的范文,综合写作的规律就能掌握得差不多了。

2、关于托福独立写作:

对于托福独立写作而言,最重要的学习资料——或者说唯一重要的学习资料——就是历年的真题。因为在托福写作考试中,独立写作无论是出题的思路,还是易获高分的写作思路,都有着相对固定的规律。多看一看历年的真题和对应的高分范文,我们才可以了解托福独立写作都有哪几类常见的题目,以及不同类型的题目要怎么写才能够拿高分。

具体的资料,我推荐新东方的戴云老师编著的《托福高分范文大全》,涵盖了较为全面的托福写作真题,且其中的范文无论是写作思路、文章结构还是遣词造句都很有代表性。我建议大家可以认真学习这本书,一是总结ETS的出题规律,尤其是提问的角度;二是学习范文的写作思路,重点学习文章的结构和论证的方法;三是检验自己的词汇,如果这本书的词汇都不能掌握,说明你的词汇量有问题。

除了真题以外,其他的资料就不那么重要了。像我们所熟悉的 Barron、Kaplan 或者 Princeton 等等,出题的思路与ETS总会有差别,学的多了反而是误导。至于国内出版的一些鼓励学生扣语法背句子的托福写作书,不客气的说,他们连托福写作的门还没有摸到。
