0715(下午)托福独立写作题目:

范文:

TV set was invented about less than a century ago, and it takes a few decades to become a major part of mass leisure. Usually, audiences watch TV programs to relax and to kill time. However, with the emerging of more well-designed programs with educational functions, it is beneficial for people to watch for knowledge but not simply for cheap entertainment.

Admittedly, there is every reason for people to entertain themselves with TV programs. After whole day work or study under heavy pressure, people need an effective way to release stress. Thanks to the funny story, humorous conversation, or exaggerated facial expression and body language, people burst into a belly laugh in a relaxing atmosphere while lying on the sofa with beverage and snacks at hand. This is exactly why cartoon movies are popular among both children and adults, such as Pleasant Sheep. However, there are actually many other programs that can both help people relax and acquire knowledge. They deserve more attention from audiences.

To begin with, when people are able to kill two bird with one stone, why not choose to spend time more meaningfully with programs that convey knowledge in an interesting way. To attract eyeballs and increase audience rating, even educational TV programs directors and producers will spare no efforts to make their program interesting, so as to make more profits. Consequently, they usually add many elements to entertain audience, such as jokes, funny tones, or celebrities. For example, an interesting cartoon play for young children in China, called Haier Brothers, teaches audiences knowledge about natural science through two little brothers’ traveling around the world. Their traveling stories explain why there are mountains and rivers on earth, how rains form and why there are four seasons, etc. The vivid pictures and interesting narration never fail to attract little audiences.

Secondly, it is also worth watching programs of serious topics, in order to equip ourselves with necessary knowledge and expand outlook. Living in an ear featuring information explosion, people need the ability to collect information and knowledge that may be crucial in work or life. Sometimes, when there is too much information that is overwhelming, confusing or even disorienting, people should be able to discern with a clear and critical mind. An effective solution is to watch some talk shows about political and social issues. The discussion between the cynical host and distinguished guests will give us a clue on how to view events happening around us. Take the most important political issue in US, namely presidential election, as an example. The speeches of various candidates usually contain too much information that is sometimes misleading or even demagogic. As to have a better understanding of candidates’ political views and their possible future behaviors, we need to draw opinions from professional and objective sources from those political talk shows.

To sum up, it is highly necessary and recommended that audiences today spend more time on TV programs that are educational and enlightening.

Agree or disagree with the following statement people should spend more time watching programs that provide knowledge and spend less time watching programs which provide entertainment only?

娱乐节目:

1)打发时间

2)放松压力

教育节目:

1)很多教育性质的节目其实也很有趣,可以放松压力的状态下学到东西

2)一些节目虽然比较严肃,但是人们可以获取很多有用的知识与信息,也是值得看的

托福独立写作的误区剖析 篇2

误区一:考试遥遥无期,时间多多益善

在笔者所教的托福写作强化班里,当课程接近尾声时有许多考生的托福考试时间依然待定,他们的理由往往是自己基础不好,需要多一点时间来充分准备。然而,这种在时间上的自我宽容通常会将自己置于尴尬的境地:时光流逝,问题依旧,自信心却在减损。事实上,单词永远背不完,好句子永远储备不完,题目也永远练不完。考生必须明白一点:复习备考永远没有绝对的充分,只有相对的充分。所谓相对的充分,就是在考场上充分应用平时所掌握的素材,把平时训练的水平发挥到极致。因此,备考关键不在于准备时间有多长,而在于考生在备考过程中的专注、考试期限的明确以及备考计划的切实可行。通常而言,考生准备托福考试的时间不宜超过三个月。

误区二:每天计划复习写作N小时

有些考生为准备托福写作制定了严格的计划,比如计划每天复习一小时、两小时或三小时……但在制定这个计划的同时,考生很有可能也在计划着浪费其中三分之二甚至更多的时间。如果考生今天打算拿出两个小时来复习写作,那么在其潜意识里,至少有一个半小时是可以虚度的。因此笔者建议,考生在制定具体到每一天或者每一周的计划时不要做时间的计划,而要做任务的计划。将立场段、总结段写作,主体段论证思路搭建,论点中心句组织,论据分析层控制,论据案例层运用这些任务分摊到每一天或每一周,这样备考的效率就会提高很多。

误区三:凑了字数,丢了分数

很多考生都非常看重文章的字数,这本无可厚非,但是展现活跃的思维和高超的写作技巧靠的不是庞大的字数,而是精确与高效的表达。如果把凑字数作为写作的第一要务,那就得不偿失了。因为言多“语”失,单纯追求写作字数不仅会导致不必要的语法、拼写和表达错误,还会使文章论证效率低下,写作内容冗余。因此,考生在考前培养准确的写作“规模感”十分必要,即考生应该对文章字数有一个整体的概念,并大致把握在这个写作框架中每一个自然段的字数区间。以托福独立写作“总—分—总”结构下的五段式为例,考生可以这样分配每段的字数:立场段30~50字;论证段一(让步段,无例子) 50~70字;论证段二(主旨段,有例子) 100~150字;论证段三(主旨段,有例子) 100~150字;总结段20~30字。

误区四:立场段走悬疑路线

由于受到传承了几千年的中庸思想和流行了许多年的悬疑小说的影响,许多考生在托福独立写作的立场段走起了“朦胧+悬疑”路线。在托福独立写作的第一段,有些考生忙着烘托气氛、制造悬念,使自己立于两头都不得罪的“不败之地”,于是写出了下面这样的开头段:

Nowadays, X is getting more and more important. Different people have different opinions toward different things. Some people may say it is good while others believe that it is wrong. So whether I agree or disagree with this depends on a case by case basis. I would like to discuss my point of view in the following paragraphs.

这类被一些考生奉为经典的写作模式在阅卷考官看来却不知所云,原因有以下三个方面。

1北美考试的议论文写作考查的不是阐述真理的能力,而是针对一个具有明确倾向的观点自圆其说的能力。

2托福独立写作题目中的任务设定通常是“… agree or disagree …”,其中or一词清楚地说明了考生的写作目标,即要表达明确的肯定或否定态度。

3悬疑小说依靠悬念来吸引读者一章又一章地看下去,但是吸引托福独立写作的阅卷考官看完文章的不是悬念,而是明确、切题的立场和强大的论据支持。

在托福独立写作中,立场是文章主旨的浓缩,明确、切题的立场是高效论证的前提。因此,考生选择的立场应该是对题目任务的直接回应:如果题目任务是agree or disagree,考生就在立场段直接表明自己同意或者不同意的倾向;如果任务是which one is better,考生就在立场段明确写出自己的选择。

误区五:考场写作循序渐进

托福独立写作的限定答题时间为30分钟,这意味着考场写作与平时的写作训练大不相同。一些考生无法在规定的时间内写完文章,更多的考生虽然能够完成,但是无法充分发挥所学。由此可见,时间紧迫带来的压力很容易影响考生的临场发挥,而对段落的写作顺序进行灵活调整就能缓解这一问题。考生应充分利用托福机考写作界面可以随意添加信息的特点来优化写作流程。笔者建议考生按照下面的流程来写。

1立场段

2总结段

3搭建论证段中心句

4填充论证段论据

在写论证段之前先写总结段的好处是确保文章的完整性,因为文章形式上完整与否的关键不在字数,而在于“总—分—总”结构的呈现。在写完立场段和总结段之后,考生会有心态上的相对优势:文章框架已经基本完整,不必再担心写不完,因而可以放开手脚在论证段里尽情发挥。在论证段,建议考生也不要逐字逐句地写,而是可以先写出3~4个论点的中心句,然后将光标回调至每个中心句下面,填充论据来充实自己的论证。这种“框架+填充”的写作方式可以使考生避免因时间不够而导致的文章结构不完整,也可以有效帮助考生合理调配写作资源,避免论证重叠。

误区六:总结段里出现because

在托福独立写作的总结段,有些考生习惯这样写:“In summary, the claim presented in this topic is vulnerable to question or challenge because of the reasons that I have just mentioned above.”

这样写是不可取的。首先,在整个写作框架中,总结段的作用就是总结,使文章结构完整,仅此而已。在这个阶段,一切都变得简单——只需再次表明自己的观点就可以了。字数不宜多,时间投入更不该长,尤其不应该写“because ...”作解释,因为支持和解释立场的任务应该由论证段来完成。如果在文章的末段出现because,就是在提醒考官:论证段论证不力,在总结段亡羊补牢。况且,“… because of the reasons that I have just mentioned above”这样的表达是没有实质意义的。考生不如腾出时间和空间,在文章末尾提出一条建设性意见,如:“In summary, the claim presented in this topic is vulnerable to question or challenge. Therefore, it is essential for us to …”

误区七:形散神也散,一切随机缘

散文文体的特点是形散而神不散,这是境界。而托福独立写作是议论文,议论文体更注重文章结构,有些考生却写得形散神也散,这就会让阅卷考官崩溃了。对于很多考生来说,文章结构的搭建基本是随机的,想到哪儿写到哪儿。至于在考场上能想起什么那得靠“缘分”,因此考生写出神形涣散的文章也就不足为奇了。还有的考生抱怨在论证段写作时写了上句没下句,原因很简单:“缘分”可遇不可求,所以“随缘”的写作很容易陷入困境。其实要解决这些问题,考生只要遵照一条规则来写就可以了,这也是议论文写作的一个基本要素:from general to specific (从概括到具体)。每个论证段需要包含论点中心句(相对概括,置于段首)和论据支持(更加具体,紧随中心句之后)。

另外,考生需要特别注意,论点中心句不仅相对概括,还应具备统领作用。打个比方,它就像网页上的超级链接,只要看到中心句,这一段的内容就了然于胸了。后面论据的作用是用更具体的细节内容来证明论点中心句成立,从而证明文章立场成立。这样一来,写作的目的性就会增强,随机性就会减少,也不会出现无话可说的问题了。

误区八:论证段盲目堆砌词句

很多考生相信,平时单词、短语、句子背得越多,考场上表现就会越从容。这有一定的道理,因为要想实现高效的论证,丰富的语言素材是必需的,但这些不是写作的全部。议论文写作其实就是说理,而说理就要有条有理。文章条理性的关键不在于堆砌语言,而在于理顺结构,理顺结构的关键又在于连接词句的运用。就托福独立写作来说,论证段内部的逻辑结构主要有两种:总分并列和阶梯推进。这两种结构的形式分别如下。

总分并列

中心句+

For one thing, …

For another, …

Another point (that is worth mentioning) is that …

Besides, …

An additional point (that should not to be overlooked) is that …

阶梯推进

中心句+

To carry the idea further, … (第一层细节)

To be exact, … (第二层细节)

误区九:例子里都是熟人

托福独立写作满分写作技巧解析 篇3

范文:

Thanks to the constant improvement of living standards, modern people put more emphasis on health. By maintaining good health, people stand more chances to make dreams come true and enjoy a happy life. Luckily, in modern society, to keep healthy is much easier than before.

Admittedly, some people may suffer from the health problems caused by quick life pace and heavy pressure. Owing to the fierce competition in modern society, people usually complain that they have to work overtime or even burn the midnight oil and recall the easy life led by people in the past. Moreover, with much time occupied by work, they can hardly spare time to do exercises and gradually give up themselves to a sedentary lifestyle and fall into sub-health conditions. However, with the increase of awareness of those health problems, people are able to make a change by adjusting their schedule and leading a healthy life.

To begin with, the easy access to information allows people to gain more knowledge on diets than before. There are many professional websites telling people how to eat in healthy ways according to their needs. According to dietitians, it is necessary for people to have a certain proportion of meat, grain, vegetable, egg, milk, etc., so as to guarantee the absorption of nutrients needed for the body function. In addition, people also can learn from cooking shows on TV. The chef teaches audiences how to prepare healthy and delicious food. For example, my mum learnt the way to cook broccoli with a special source without losing its valuable vitamin. However, in the past, most people who were unaware of the significance of balanced diets simply believed people should eat as much as possible in case they could not find enough food the next day.

Secondly, the advancement of medical treatment also guarantees that people today can lead a healthier life than in the past. Thanks to the efforts of scientists and doctors, there are various powerful vaccines that protect people from detrimental diseases, such as chickenpox and polio. Also, as people today have more knowledge of various diseases, the early and accurate diagnosis prevents diseases from getting worse and claiming lives. More importantly, the constant improvement of medical knowledge and equipment enables doctors to cure diseases with less pain and fewer side effects and even conquer incurable diseases. For example, it took only several months to find the vaccine of Ebola spreading wildly in western Africa in , which saved thousands of lives. But, in the past, the limitation of medial knowledge inhibited people from finding right solutions. People were powerless in front of bacteria infection before the invention of Penicillin.

To sum up, it is definitely easier for modern people to lead a healthy life than they did in the past.

It is easier to maintain good health today than in the past.

现在容易保持健康:

1)更健康的食物

2)更健康的医疗

现在不容易保持健康:

1)生活压力大,亚健康

2)环境污染

3)缺乏体育锻炼

托福独立写作满分写作技巧解析 篇4

很多同学会有疑问,这里的过去Past到底是指的什么时候。其实ETS也没有明确的界定,我们不妨把过去界定为:一个没有现在科技和当今一切让人们生活很便捷的用品的时代。

这类题目跟二选一题一样,也必须要拿自己选择的观点和没有选择的观点进行比较,在比较中体现出来自己所选观点的优越性。

就PPT中这个题目的思路展开:

首先:科技的发展让人们能够更便捷的接受教育。比如,人们现在有各种各样的电子产品(electronic devices),能够方便我们在网上学习,看国外教授的讲座;甚至在走路、排队的时候,都可以用移动设备(Portable devices)学习;而在过去人们只能去教室听课,形式比较单一。

其次,现在人们经济条件更好了,能够负担的起各种高等教育,甚至出国留学。而在过去,很多人都上不起学,或者上到一定程度,迫于家庭的经济压力,不得不早早辍学打工挣钱。

【举一反三】

Nowadays people are more willing to help the people who they don’t know (for example, giving food and clothes to the people who need them) than they were in the past.

首先,科技的发展让人们能够很快的知道哪里有需要帮助的人(social media; smart-phones; instant messaging)

托福写作技巧:常见问题解析

1、怎样决定文章的模版结构?

大家都习惯于托福作文5段式,我认为这个观点是有道理的,但不是绝对。为什么大多数情况下5段式最好?因为结构清晰。5个段落,开头引出话题,综述观点;结尾收束加升华;中间3个逻辑支撑点,可以支撑出一个相对比较丰满和复杂的逻辑关系。但之所以不是绝对,少数情况下,写的好的4段式议论文也可以得高分;有些题目甚至更适合4段式来写。但总体来说,如果时间够,思维够,5段式是比较稳妥的拿高分的方式,即便句子简单,但逻辑够完满,分数一样不会低。

2、是不是一定要选择一边倒的论点呢?

记得某专家说过只要有逻辑,均衡论一样能拿高分。但一个现实的考虑是,考官在看你卷子的几分钟里未必有耐心从头看到尾去找你的观点,因为均衡论的观点通常会不那么明显,特别是老外没那么喜欢中国人的中庸之道,喜欢直白。那么为了降低误判风险,能写成观点鲜明的作文还是鲜明点好,让别人一眼看上去就知道你在说什么,接下来就是看你怎么说的问题了,只要过“观点鲜明”这一关就OK,为啥不选简单点儿的方式呢?

3、怎么样选择3个支撑段的论点呢?

我认为比较好的逻辑是并列-递进,递进-转折这两种,很符合我们的思维方式。拿这次大作文来说,我采取的就是递进-转折模式,作文题是“孩子应该做家务,还是应该只学习和玩”?我的观点是应该承担家务,分论点一是做家务能培养孩子的很多好习惯,分论点二是做家务能树立孩子在家庭生活中的独立地位和责任感,分论点三是在良好的监督下做家务不会伤害孩子。分论点一到二,是一个递进,一说的是对孩子的好处,二说的是不仅对孩子个人有好处,而且在整个家庭中,对孩子和家长都有好处,这是观点二在观点一的拓展(当然你也可以说这是一个并列,但我认为我在连接词上的选择让这个关系变成了强化递进);分论点二到三,是一个转折,前面分析了优点,那么后面分析有人会说这个也有缺点,但我认为缺点是完全可以避免的。于是这样一个逻辑结构就非常的完整,考官一看就知道我在说什么,我为什么会支持孩子做家务。

4、怎么举例子?

特别对于3段式的中间部分,各段的例子一定要多样化;版上的牛人也说过,即使论证一个观点,例子也要多,要多多泛举。对于上面的三个分论点,我是从各个方面举的很多例子:分论点一,我用的是

personalexample,举了自己在家从小洗碗的例子,我学到了什么?要参与家庭劳动,理解父母的辛苦,因为刷碗我从小了解了卫生常识养成了很好的卫生习惯。分论点二,我用的是情境概括,说孩子参与了父母就会尊重他们,孩子可以参加家庭事务的讨论,家庭关系更和谐,孩子更成熟独立,不会选择叛逆,父母更舒心。分论点三,我用的则是研究报告之类的,表明家务本身很安全,表明参与家务的孩子会更organized.然后说父母的supervise可以降低危险,等等。这样例子类型不同,内容也就足够丰富了。

5、怎么开头和结尾?

一句话,能简单则简单,但不要突兀。句子要简单,内容要紧贴文章大意,不要每一篇都是“在当今科技高速发达的社会里,人们在热烈讨论着。。话题”,考官会审美疲劳的。但不要太突兀,要逐渐过

官方网站:

渡到你要说的话题,英语本质上是个很罗嗦很麻烦的语言,用简单的话把每个point之间的逻辑空缺都填满,文章字数自然就够了。比如我这篇的开头,我的大意就是:我的童年很美好,有很多关于爱的回忆。相信这个世界上大多数人都认为童年应该是最美好的,像我的童年那样。但是有些家长太爱自己的孩子了,以至于竟然说只有孩子远离家务,只学习、只玩,才是足够美好的。我却认为家务活该是童年美好回忆的一部分,因为他。。(概述各分论点)。我认为我的开头是有点俗套的,但过渡的不突兀,特别是第一个分论点直接用我自己的经历照应了这个开头,是很能在情感上打动人的。

6、怎样在规定时间内写够字数?

托福独立写作满分写作技巧解析 篇6

解读独立写作评分标准

语言上的错误在考试中是难免的,关键在于错误的严重程度以及错误出现的频率如何。关于语言错误会对托福独立写作的成绩产生什么影响,考生可以通过细读独立写作的评分标准来找答案。

托福成绩单后附有一个表格,这个表格对考生听、说、读、写四项的分数分别给出了具体的阐述。其中,独立写作成绩在最高档Good (对应的最终分是24~30分)的文章在语言方面的特点如下:use of English that is occasionally ungrammatical, unclear, or unidiomatic。得分在中档Fair (对应的最终分是17~23分)则意味着文章存在如下语言问题:grammatical mistakes or vague/incorrect uses of words may make the writing difficult to understand。由此可见Good档次的文章中犯语法错误必须是occasionally,即可以有错误,但必须非常少;而Fair档次的文章中语法错误可能就相对严重,会影响评卷人对文意的理解。

在《新托福考试官方指南》的评分标准中,最高档5分(对应最终分30分)在语言方面要求文章“displays consistent facility in the use of language, demonstrating syntactic variety, appropriate word choice, and idiomaticity, though it may have minor lexical or grammatical errors”。考生要想达到5分的档次,其写作中的词汇和语法错误必须在minor层面,也就是不能犯典型、重大的语法错误。4分档(对应最终分25分)在语言方面要求文章“displays facility in the use of language, demonstrating syntactic variety and range of vocabulary, though it will probably have occasional noticeable minor errors in structure, word form, or use of idiomatic language that do not interfere with meaning”。相对于5分档,4分档出现了“显著”的语言错误,但必须是“偶尔”出现这样的错误,且必须是“很小”的错误,否则就达不到4分的档次。3分档的文章“may demonstrate inconsistent facility in sentence formation and word choice that may result in lack of clarity and occasionally obscure meaning”。由此可见,3分档文章的语言错误影响到了意思的“清晰度”,有时甚至导致“意思模糊”。

评分标准的4分和5分档都提到了minor errors。那么什么是minor errors,什么是非minor errors?笔者认为,像偶尔的冠词错误、名词单复数错误、介词使用不够精准,这些错误影响相对较小,通常不会影响意思的理解,属于minor errors。不过要想取得高分,这些也只能偶尔出错,不宜频繁出错。但是,下面列出的10大错误,则是笔者根据长期教学经验总结出的考生常犯的超出了minor范畴的错误。这些错误比较严重,一旦出现就容易影响分数,尤其关系到考生得分能否进入最高档。对于这些错误,考生要特别注意避免。

考生常犯的10种语法错误

主谓不一致

中文不存在主谓一致的问题,因此很多考生在写英文句子时意识不到这一点。在英语中,主谓一致的问题在一般现在时中出现较多,特别是在第三人称单数的谓语动词上容易出现。当主语和谓语之间插入成分较多、主语离谓语较远时,这类错误更容易出现。另外在定语从句中,由于从句的谓语动词和先行词被连词隔开,考生也容易忽略从句的主谓一致问题。此外,there be句型中be动词的单复数要根据be动词后面的名词单复数而定。来看下面的几个例句。

例1:Those examination questions is very familiar to me.

评析:主语是复数名词,谓语应该用are,不应该用is。

更正:Those examination questions are every familiar to me.

例2:A school who has famous professors are more worthy for students to choose.

评析:主句的主语和谓语之间有定语从句,相隔较远,因此考生容易犯主谓不一致的错误。主句的谓语还是应当由主句的主语a school来决定。

更正:A school who has famous professors is more worthy for students to choose.

nlc202309032337

例3:Doing housework has some advantages that is good for children’s future.

评析:That引导的定语从句的谓语应当由先行词advantages决定,先行词是复数名词,因此that引导的定语从句谓语应当用are。

更正:Doing housework has some advantages that are good for children’s future.

例4:There is so many people competing for a position.

评析:There be句型的谓语应当由be动词后面的名词决定。名词people是复数,因此be动词应该用are。

更正:There are so many people competing for a position.

句子残缺

句子必须有谓语动词才称得上完整。考生在写作中有时会出现句子没有谓语动词的情况,或是从句缺主语的情况,这都属于残缺句子。

例5:That’s why I against that people find a job just for money.

评析:Against是介词,不能作谓语,可以在前面加系动词am。

更正:That’s why I am against that people find a job just for money.

例6:I enjoy it very much when chat and play with my friends.

评析:该句中when引导的从句缺乏主语,句子残缺,需要补充主语I。

更正:I enjoy it very much when I chat and play with my friends.

一个简单句中出现两个谓语动词

很多考生在写作时只是根据中文的思维和感觉写,对于英文中一个简单句只能有一个谓语动词的规则不够敏感,容易在一个简单句中出现两个或两个以上谓语动词,这是明显违反语法的。在there be句型中特别容易出现两个谓语动词的错误。考生应当记住:一个简单句只能有一个谓语动词,当出现两个谓语动词时,要将其中一个转化成恰当的非谓语形式或从句的谓语。请看下面的例子。

例7:There are so many people compete for a position.

评析:There be句型中的be动词本身就是这个句子的谓语动词,后面不能再出现谓语动词。这时,可以将后面的动词转化为非谓语动词的形式,或者转化成从句的谓语动词。

更正1:There are so many people competing for a position.

更正2:There are so many people who compete for a position.

例8:I, nonetheless, believe that my job and my social life are both play an essential role in my daily happiness.

评析:在这个句子中,are和play是两个谓语动词,不能一起用。系动词is/am/are可以和现在分词一起用于表进行,可以和过去分词一起用于表被动,也可以和不定式一起用于表将来,但是不能和动词原形一起用。

更正1:I, nonetheless, believe that my job and my social life are both playing an essential role in my daily happiness.

更正2:I, nonetheless, believe that my job and my social life both play an essential role in my daily happiness.

从句独立成句

从句必须依附于主句而存在,单独一个连词引导的从句不能用句点和主句隔开而独立成句。

例9:It is helpful for children to make mistakes and learn from their own mistakes. Because making mistakes sometimes is the best way to avoid more mistakes and to cultivate valuable aspects of characters.

评析:Because引导的原因状语从句不能单独成句,必须依附于主句而存在。可以把两句话连成一句,或是把原因状语从句改为以it is because或this is because开头的句子。

更正1:It is helpful for children to make mistakes and learn from their own mistakes because making mistakes sometimes is the best way to avoid more mistakes and to cultivate valuable aspects of character.

更正2:It is helpful for children to make mistakes and learn from their own mistakes. This is because making mistakes sometimes is the best way to avoid more mistakes and to cultivate valuable aspects of character.

nlc202309032337

情态动词后面没有跟动词原形

情态动词后面必须跟动词原形,不能跟动词的其他形式。

例10:We must limiting the time that children spend in watching TV.

评析:句中must是情态动词,后面必须跟动词原形,不能跟现在分词。

更正:We must limit the time that children spend in watching TV.

例11:Admittedly, the good food may contributes to an enjoyable vacation.

评析:句中may是情态动词,后面必须跟动词原形,不能跟第三人称单数形式。

更正:Admittedly, the good food may contribute to an enjoyable vacation.

两个简单句之间缺乏连词

如果用逗号连接两个简单句,那句子之间必须有恰当的连词,不能只用逗号来连接。

例12:Many Chinese students are good at their studies, they don’t have much social experience.

评析:逗号连接的是两个独立的含有主谓结构的句子,两个句子之间是转折关系,必须加上表转折的连词(如but),不能只用逗号连接。

更正:Many Chinese students are good at their studies, but they don’t have much social experience.

例13:I am a boy, I am strong.

评析:I am a boy和I am strong是两个简单句,可以在中间加连词或用分号,可以写成两句话,也可以把其中一句改为非谓语结构,但是不能只用逗号连接。

更正1:I am a boy, and I am strong.

更正2:I am a boy; I am strong.

更正3:I am a boy. I am strong.

更正4:Being a boy, I am strong.

词性误用

考生在记单词的时候容易只记单词的意思,不注意词性和用法,导致名词、动词、形容词、副词之间词性误用的情况。这样的错误比较严重,应该避免。

例14:He worked industrious all day.

评析:句中的industrious是形容词,不能修饰动词。形容词用于修饰名词,副词可以修饰动词、形容词和副词。

更正:He worked industriously all day.

代词错误

代词方面的错误主要是代词与其所指代的名词单复数不一致。

例15:As a person, sooner or later, they will meet some problems.

评析:句中的they作为复数代词与其所指代的名词person单复数不一致,此处应用单数形式的代词。

更正:As a person, sooner or later, he or she will meet some problems.

介词后面跟动词原形

介词后面不能跟动词原形,必须跟名词或动名词。

例16:People splash water on each other for celebrate their new year.

评析:介词for后面不能跟动词原形celebrate,可以改为动名词形式。

更正:People splash water on each other for celebrating their new year.

动词原形作主语

动词原形不能作主语。祈使句会用动词原形开头,但句子只是省略了主语,而不是没有主语,而且托福写作也极少用到祈使句。可以作主语的成分包括名词、代词、动名词、不定式、主语从句和形式主语it。

例17:I insist that join a sports team is the best way for us to make new friends.

评析:句中的动词原形join不能作宾语从句的主语,可以转化成动名词再作主语。

更正:I insist that joining a sports team is the best way for us to make new friends.

如何避免常犯的语法错误

上述错误是笔者在修改学生的作文时经常发现的错误类型,给出的例句也是学生在写作中出现错误的句子。除了这些错误,语法错误当然还包括时态错误、名词单复数错误、冠词错误等,但前文列出的10种语法错误对托福写作分数的影响最为显著。尽管每位考生常犯的错误不尽相同,但语法错误有这样的共同特点:它们都是长期形成的,因而具有习惯性和无意识性,可以说是非常“顽固”。考生必须刻意用心纠正才能避免在考场上犯下这些错误。

看了本文列出的10种语法错误,有些考生可能会觉得非常简单,但是不能仅仅因为看上去简单而轻视这些错误。在写作的时候,尤其是在限时的紧张情况下,这些错误很容易出现。很多考生托福写作的成绩徘徊不前,正是由于对自身存在的问题没有重视,没有刻意去纠正。为此,笔者建议考生做到以下三点。

1.平时训练的限时作文尽量找老师或同学修改,以便发现和纠正自己意识不到的错误。自己要总结出特别容易错的语法项目,制定清单,每次写作前复习,在写作的过程中刻意避免。对于不明白的语法项目,要查找语法书进行针对性学习,不必系统学习全部语法。

2.在练习的过程中,考生可以每写一段就停下来检查一下,然后再写下一段。这样可以避免犯的错误过多,来不及纠正。

3.在考试的过程中,考生可以在独立写作规定的30分钟内留出3~5分钟。在全文写完之后,用这几分钟的时间专门检查自己常犯的错误。

托福独立写作满分写作技巧解析 篇7

To begin with, the decline of teaching quality is an indisputable reason why teachers today are less respected. Owing to the rapid population growth and education expansion, there is a large demand for teachers. To cater the needs, universities have to recruit and train more teachers quickly. Commonly adopted methods are to shorten and simplify the training process as well as lower the standard. Consequently, a majority of new teachers today feel very difficult for them to become competent in the early years due to the insufficient training and work experience. Moreover, teaching is no longer a well-paid profession, which makes a large number of teachers today less devoted to their career. In the past, as there were fewer people who were qualified to teach, people would like to pay a high salary to teachers. But today, the income of teachers, especially those working in primary schools and kindergartens, is no higher than that of a common clerk in companies. The uncompetitive payment fails to motivate teachers to work hard to improve their teaching. Even worse, some teachers with heavy economic burden choose to take several part time jobs at the same time, which makes them exhausted and incapable of taking good care of their students.

Secondly, the exposure of some teachers’ misbehavior through medias casts a shadow on all teachers. It is undeniable that at any time there are bad teachers. In the past, when a teacher lost his trust and reputation locally, a simple solution for him was to move to another place and start his teaching career again. But today, the powerful mass media makes it impossible for a teacher’s bad behavior to be hidden from the public. This is an effective method to supervise teachers, but when there are too many reports on teachers’ misbehavior, it is unavoidable that the public gradually lose confidence on all teachers. Normally, people regard it as teachers’ responsibility to take good care of students and help students learn and grow up, so there are few reports on teachers’ work except for big events, like saving students from traffic accidents at the expense of a teacher his own safety. However, when a teacher’s misbehavior is known, it will attract many medias, and parents who care about children’s education and health would like to spread the news broadly. As a result, though it is necessary to expose the misbehavior of teachers, the outbreak of mass reports generates serious negative impact on overall reputation of teachers, just like what is happening recently in China. There are more than three reports on child abuse in different kindergartens in Beijing last month. It has aroused panic among the public and doubts on almost all kindergarten teachers.

To sum up, there are reasons why teachers are less respected as before. It is mainly because of the decline of teaching quality and mass reports of some teachers’ misbehavior.

托福独立写作写作思路讲解 篇8

例题:Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

题目大意:如今食物变得越来越容易准备。这种变化是不是改善了人们的生活?

该问题中提供给考生探讨的要点是食物准备方式的改变是否提高生活质量。对此问题,一些考生马上就联想到:食物容易准备节约了时间,并就此给出段落中心词。但结合文章论点稍微深入思考一步就会发现,时间缩短这一项改变虽然是事实,但对于生活质量的影响并不直接,如果作为主要论点给出的话会使读者觉得该支持理由与主题观点并没有直接关联。所以对于这种容易想出但与文章中心关系并不密切的拓展思路就需要能及时舍弃。

二、段落主题句要能言之有物

这是再功利不过的一条标准,就上面这道题目而言,有的考生注意到了食物准备时间缩短与生活质量改善之间的思路跳跃,因此在两者中间补充说明,食物准备时间缩短能让人性情改变,从而影响人们的生活质量,构思时觉得该立意比较新颖,又能切合主题,继续写下去不无可能。但真正落笔时却不知道该如何说明人们性情转变这一抽象情况,并且自己平常生活中对此也并无较深入的感受和经验,结果说了一句话拓展就不得不匆匆收尾,导致读者要不就读得“意犹未尽”,要不就干脆觉得“云里雾里”。与其这样,还不如选个常见思路,如:快速的生活节奏造成压力,来展开拓展,这样即能展示语言功底,也能显示思维缜密的写作方向。

三、全文选择的2个或是3个段落支持理由之间不能出现重复论述

这其实是整个构思阶段的重头。要立意,就是要明白自己表达的对象是什么,明确立场。然后站在这个立场上,挑选支持自己的论点。在整理行文思路时,考生所进行的其实是个发散思维的过程,而立意,则是要把思维收回来,组织化,理清它的脉络纹路,让它们有着各自的特征,又能协调地为同一目的服务。

能够说服读者的议论文,在论点选择上应该遵循一个原则:三个(或者两个)论点虽说要符合一条明线:支持全文观点,但不能在各自的论述层面上有交叉。比如在上题所给的理由中已经列出:快速的生活节奏造成压力,有的考生继续拓展第二支持理由:人们正在沉沦于速食中,丧失享受生活的品位,这两点看上去都与主题相关,并且有各自的中心点,但是稍微拓展就会发现,其实两者都是围绕人们的心理健康这一基本点所进行的思维扩展,与其分开两段来写,还不如先给出影响心理健康这一中心,再分原因和不同情况进行扩展论述。这样即体现了同一段落内部论述的全面性,又避免出现两段中内容及语言的重复表达。

托福写作满分作文学习 篇9

I prefer sleeping late and staying up late at night. This routine fitsmy body’s rhythm, my work schedule, and my social life.

I believe in following my body’s natural rhythm. My body tells me to sleep until I am ready to getup and go to bed when I am sleepy. This means I never get up early in the morning. My body tellsme it likes me to get 8 to 10 hours of sleep a day.

Sleeping late also fits my work schedule. Actually I don’t have that much work to do. I can easilyfinish my work between lunch and dinner. I think that if one works too much, there is not enoughtime left to enjoy one’s self.

My active social life is another reason I prefer to sleep late. Who gets up early in the morning tohave fun? No one. Anything amusing, such as concerts, dances, parties, dinners, all happen atnight. If I got up early in the morning, I would be too tired to enjoy myself in the evening.

I will maintain this pattern forever I hope. I think it is always important to listen to your body and ifyour body tells you to stay in bed, you should listen to it. By listening to you body, you will neverlet work interfere with your social life.

54 What are the important qualities of a good son or daughter? Have these qualitieschanged or remained the same over time in your culture? Use specific reasons andexamples to support your answer.

The qualities of a good son and daughter---obedience, loyalty, respect---have not changed. Anypatent will tell you that, like their ancestors, they expect these qualities from their children. However, they do not always get what they expect from their children.

Parents demand that their sons and daughters, regardless of age, obey them. Even if the childrenare married and have their own children, they should still do whatever their parents ask of them. Atlast, that’s the way it was. Now, children tend to obey their parents until the children are of collegeage. Then they feel they are adult enough and can make their own decisions even if thesedecisions are against the parent’s wishes.

Parents also expect loyalty from their children. If there was a dispute in the neighborhood orbetween families, the parents would expect their children to side with their own family. This qualityis probably still very common. Most children today will support their family against others.

Parents, of course, demand respect. As people become more mobile, and introduced to non-traditional ways of doing things, this quality may not endure. Parents are sometimes viewed as old-fashioned. Children don’t think their parents can appreciate the way life really is. They think theirparents are too old to understand. They lose respect for their parents.
