托福独立写作经典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

一个字眼,一个是题,心里要满装着题目,一个字一个标点也要看得清清楚楚,不可以有哪怕一个空格的疏漏。另一个是破,要对题目里的每一个单词都细嚼慢咽,深刻理解,读过了的词如百步穿杨,准确无误的明了其所指,这也包括该单词的引申含义,言外之义。
此处将以从OG提供的195道例题中随机抽的一题为例,进行详细示范。
Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
我们看见了一个nowadays,指的是现代生活,现今时代,今年甚至是今天,也就是我们正在每天体验的生活。我们又看到food,今天的人们有什么吃的呢?健康饮食理念者爱吃生疏加熟粗粮,不健康饮食理念者也有肯德基麦当劳。儿童有糖果饼干果冻,大街上随处都有的买。正规家居过日子的人也有各种原料和佐料等着下厨。这个food指的是什么呢?继续看,food has become easier to prepare,有个比较级,是要和谁比较,比较什么?
从to prepare判断,原来是比较准备出食物的难易程度,这不可能是和人们还不知为何状的未来的食物相比,那么就是和过去,也就是和传统食物相比了。这个比较可以从多种角度入手。
围绕着现代食物比较容易准备,我们能够轻易想到的`有:准备时间缩短了,食用方式可能改变,营养价值可能改变,人们烹调时的心情改变,食用心情改变,对身体的长远影响改变,烹调方面节省下来的时间可以用在其它方面,导致生活节奏改变,生活重心改变,长此以往情趣格调改变,兴趣爱好改变,乃至性情改变等等等等。
从题目给出的条件,我们得到了这么多可能的后果,那么题目问的是什么呢?has this change improved the way people live ?大汗无语中,从上面的破题结论看来,这个论题有着太多的选择方向。那么多可以改变的条目,我们选什么做立意之根本呢?请看:新托福独立写作技巧解析之思路立意篇
托福独立写作经典3
大多数托福独立写作prompts都非常简短,没有任何相关背景或语境给出,同学们在解题时也很容易泛泛而谈,难以打开思路或无法给出具体例证:
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.
此类题目许多同学若选择 performing art center 可能会谈到艺术的重要性,好处(修身养性,开阔视野,social),以及 art center对自己社区居民的好处(如放松休闲),但往往无法给出具体例证或易于表达的例证和细节,亦或是无法从其它角度给出 reasons。若是选择 shopping mall, 许多同学更是除了convenient 外就再难从其它角度给出reasons. 此处不妨谈谈 your community 的情况,是在何种context里的一个 community? 1) Your community 是否已有shopping mall? art center? hotel? 有多少个?是否还需要? 2) Your community 是否有于题目相关的features?周边情况?
1 Shopping Mall
此题若选 shopping mall,可给出背景如: my community 已有6个hotels,3个performance arts centers ,却并没有shopping mall. 接下来例证细节可详细吐槽无shopping mall带来的不便。
第二个论点若一时无别的idea可写也没关系,可直接在上个论点基础上扩展,再从hotels和arts centers这两处吐槽: 6个hotels,3个arts centers常年都没有被充分利用 (those hotels and performance arts centers were not fully used), 有的hotels甚至都要倒闭了。显然再建hotels之类的是无用 (will be useless/ will be of no use)且费钱的。
2 Hotel
Likewise, 若选hotel,可给出背景如: my community is right next to a national park,然而却只有一个hotel且常常爆满,facilities也out-of-date,七八个shopping malls却没人逛,三个art centers也没能得到充分使用 。
注意此处context的'构建要考虑所需支持的观点,去national park的游客大多都需要hotel,但对七八个shopping malls的需求量则不大 (不至于大多都要疯狂扫货,爱马仕劳力士什么的买一堆),因而可支持get one more hotel rather than shopping mall.
此处若将national park改为Disney park可能就不够convincing了(参考香港Disney为例,旁边一站就是东荟城CityGate,大家懂的)。
3 Art Centre
若选art center,可给出背景: my community is right next to three art universities,然而却没有一个art center。学生演出不方便需驱车去别的城市。另外,若 build an art center,也可以create more job opportunities给这些学校的students.
此类极端虚构法在很多别的类似题目(几乎所有选择类题目)上也适用,解题快准狠,希望大家可以做到举一反三:
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.

托福写作的评分标准
新托福写作考试由两部分组成:综合写作和独立写作。
综合写作:考生先阅读一篇短文,再听一段相关内容的讲座录音,讲座的演讲者直接讨论短文中的观点,要求考生把演讲者就短文观点发表的看法写成一篇摘要。
独立写作:要求考生针对某一话题发表个人的观点,并用具体的理由和事例来支持自己的观点。每篇作文都由两位评分人员根据统一的评分标准,在0~5分的范围内评分(只给整数分数),而后取平均值,最后将这个平均值转换为30分制。
综合写作评分标准
1.内容的完整性和准确性。简单地说,就是文章是否有将讲座中的关键信息点完整、准确地提取出来(通常情况下有三点),并和阅读材料中的相关内容有效地一一对应。如果讲座中的信息点有缺失,那么会有一定程度的扣分;如果只写了有关阅读材料的观点,得1分。
2.文章的组织机构,词汇和语法的正确性和准确性。高分的作文需要做到条理清晰,结构连贯,用词恰当,能够准确地表达讲座中的观点与阅读材料中的观点是如何相互联系的,只要作文中的错误不至于使内容表述出现误解,一些偶尔出现的语言错误,如单词拼写、单复数问题等,不会对作文成绩产生很大影响,当然,错误肯定是越少越好的。
独立写作评分标准
1.有效回应题目,阐明文章主题。一般来说,独立写作完全跑题的情况很少,但是很多考生在展开讨论时所采用的论据,比较容易出现跟主题关联性不大的情况,即局部答非所问的现象,从而影响了得分。
2.逻辑条理清楚,论证充分展开。这一点的关键在于文章论证的展开,是否提供了大量的细节和例子来支持观点,而非泛泛而谈地说理。比如说某位同学的英文写作能力很强,我光说很强,很厉害,写得很好都很表面,但是我如果说这位同学托福写作考了29分,那么就是很细节很有说服力的论据了。
3.内容连贯一致,衔接自然流畅。达到内容连贯一致的文章通常全文围绕中心论点展开,而不会论据自相矛盾,也不会重复论证,有时候通过一些表示因果、先后、递进的关系连词可以起到粘合剂的作用。
4.遣词造句地道,语言驾驭娴熟。托福考试终究是语言考试,最终还是要考查考生的语言运用能力,但是要注意的是,并不是要求考生通篇都用难词偏语长句,而是要会变化着用一些美国人常用的语句把自己的想法表达清楚,所以建议考生尽量多阅读和模仿英文原版材料,这样写出来的文章才能够原汁原味。
提升写作能力的重要性
由托福评分标准可见,托福写作能力是语言运用的精髓与核心,对于在外国留学的中国学生,尤其是有志于进入文商科领域的学生来说,“写”是一条生命线,直接关乎课业和工作的成败。以写作形式提交的测试或者论文占据了GPA的极大比重,这事实上对于母语非英文的亚洲学生来说是利好的,如果没有以书面形式呈现的作业,一般来说稍显内向的学生很难在激烈的英语课堂辩论中占据任何优势。从更深层次上来说,“写”代表了个人内心声音的倾诉,展现了理解知识的深度和思考的结晶,镌刻了一个人的思想由青涩到成熟的印记。而到了工作阶段,对于任何与文商科有关的职业,例如律师,会计师,分析师,翻译,记者等等来说,写作都是最基本与核心的质素,无论是撰写报告,公文,信函……写作的重要性常常为学生们所忽视,因此到了大学和工作之后往往要加倍偿还。
托福考生常见问题
大部分的学生在托福写作中所展现出来的英文写作问题主要集中在以下几点:
一、逻辑匮乏
连贯地把一个观点言之成理地表达出来,是完成任何写作任务的第一要务,在英文写作中尤其要注意两点,第一,不要被辞藻的华美和句式的复杂绕进去了,英文应该以几个关键词为骨架,再以此为基础进行增删修饰,所以不要文过饰非,表达片段化;第二,对于低龄学员来说,尤其要注意平行论点之间是否有重叠,交叉的地方,同时,要注意事实,结果和基准之间是否处在一条直线上,是否在逻辑上具有一致性。
二、论据意识不强
托福写作评分标准当中对于“事实和论据”有着明确的要求,“口水话”是任何应试型写作的大忌。论据的积累事实上也应该成为写作教学的重要一环,其中理论型的论据需要教师的讲解和提炼,也需要学生“思接千载,视通万里”,不局限于单一科目,把多门学科当中的原理和事实融入进论点的阐发过程,比如心理学中的“延迟满足”效应,经济学里“马太效应”等等,都应该是写作可以信手拈来的材料,但是这一块是传统的写作教学比较忽视的;而事实论据也是大有文章可做的,最可靠的是数字,对数字的敏感度的培养应该从小开始,不能成为短板;其次是概括性的事实,大部分的.低龄学员在抽象概括能力上需要严格的训练,在初期需要思维模型的打造,比如判定一种行为的利弊,可以借用“个人-社区-社会”的经典分层,或者在工作类的话题上,对不同类型的职业进行单独分析……
最后要强调的是具体事例,此处必须明确的一点是具体事例写作绝对不等同把个人经历做成流水账,而是要加以概括,把枝枝叶叶的部分砍掉,把意识流一般的叙事套进一个整饬的模具当中,这个模具就是段落的大意和行文的逻辑。
三、遣词造句不地道
托福的阅卷人不知道看过多少篇以 “with the development of society”(随着社会的发展)开头的作文,这种毫无个人创建的模板化也只能保证一个更加平庸的分数。其次,玩弄大词,不用小词,不区分书面语和口语,都是由于平时不阅读,不积累,所造成的坏账和恶果。8岁时就出版个人专著《飞扬的手指》,12岁就走上TED演讲台的美国华裔神童邹奇奇(Adora Svitak)从三岁就开始博览群书,去听一听她的那篇名为《成年人能从孩子身上学到什么》的演讲,我们或许可以知道,任何神童和奇迹的产生,都是“积跬步”和“积小流”的结果。
四、冗余现象严重
如果我们试着把一段中文翻译成英文,再把这段译文和典范的英文进行对比,就可以发现大多数人的翻译都要比典范英文长一截。这恰恰是写作刚刚入门,又无法达到精通程度的学生最容易遇到的问题。英文写作的原则应该是“less is more”,写得精炼远远好于长篇大论,如若英文写作要从中低端迈入高端,这背后需要调动介词,比如“otherwise”这种介词,80%的学生都不会用,或者害怕用;此外,把从句以合成词的方式的呈现出来,用上data-driven这样的结构,此处不一一赘述。
综上所述,英文写作首先是一种审美教育。审美是任何有效语言学习的最佳入门途径,语文课上,不少人因为《春江花月夜》“江畔何人初见月,江月何年初照人”这样让人震撼的名句而爱上了这门学科,而英文的审美力量常常为模式化的教学所忽视。读原著,是长期构建英文写作能力的核心所在,例如我们如果有幸读一读爱德华·吉本的《罗马帝国衰亡史》,会看到,罗马帝国“囊括世上最美之疆域”,在其“古老声威与严整军容”的震慑下,敌军不敢来犯,市民“尽享富庶生活,甚而奢华挥霍”。(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”.)用词之准确精妙,如果不经过长期的培养和学习,是无论如何也现想不来的。
其次,英文写作也是一种思维训练。随着学力的增长,不同等级的标准化考试对于逻辑的要求也会越来越高。从托福的角度来说,可能观点行文言之成理即可,而到了SAT阶段,则把明确地提炼出作者态度,谋篇布局,并对其高明之处进行剖析的能力列入了考察范围,光靠死记硬背,显然是难以应付这一阶段考试的。而到了申请研究生的时候,GRE,GMAT和LSAT的作文考试,逻辑就成了重中之重,简单来说,在分析题干的时候,对论断的合理性和不合理性都应该有所论述,并且要分析出在何种情况下和何种程度中该观点为合理或者不合理,没有训练过的学员,一定是在考场上最手足无措的那一群人。
我们要做的就是将托福写作题目分类,并进行相应的优化。托福作文题目的难度体现最主要就是在作文题目越来越抽象,越来越不容易想到理由。其实,当面对这些题目的时候,很多人总会把自己投入一个怪圈,单纯的死扣这个问题,而不是试图将它扩展或者细化。 作文最忌讳的就是就事论事,不作任何扩展。
最后,英文写作也是一种品质训练。写作能力不是天生的,一定是养成的,任何资质的孩子通过适当的培训和培养,都有可能成为一个合格的写作者。但是,知易行难,不喜欢动笔写是大多数人的通病,写作也是思路整理和思维锻炼的过程,更是考验人的毅力和定力的时刻。在适当的时候,将写作养成习惯需要借助外力,需要定期的督促和修改。注意到写作能力的重要性,亡羊补牢,为时未晚,否则咱们的孩子到了国外之后,在语言上如何和外国的同龄人抗衡呢?
托福独立写作经典6
下面与各位托福考生分享的是独立写作应试技巧:
01分配时间
30分钟,转瞬即逝,在托福独立写作上必须要分秒必争,对每一个环节要了然于胸。动笔前3-5分钟先构思,心里要布置一个框架,写完后需要3-5分钟检查。所以实际的写作时间只有差不多20分钟。
02 切题
仔细阅读问题或者论点,写得再好,如果离题了一切都是扯淡。
03 头脑风暴
在下笔之前要进行一两个头脑风暴,想一个最佳切入点去写
04 列提纲
构思你的文章,列提纲的时候不需要面面俱到,有时甚至连阿拉伯数字也不需要写,就一行几个关键字,写文章的时候看着这些关键字去展开。
05 逻辑性
整篇文章必须是有逻辑性的',一般托福独立写作文章分为3个部分,第一部分:引入话题,通常就一个段落,或者几句话。第二部分:文章主体,通常由2-3个段落组成。第三部分:总结,通常也是一个段落或者几句话。
06 有理有据
托福写作切忌只有理论,一定要有理有据才可以打动人。所以每次给出一个论点的时候,一定记得要给出一个相应的实例。
07 信号词
无论你想表达的是并列的思想,还是转折的事情,亦或是其他,最好有一个信号词。比如讲到递进关系的时候,可以用furthermore,what’s more, moreover等。表示转折关系的可以用However,but,nevertheless等。
08 句式
句式变化要丰富,长短句结合,简单句和复杂句结合。这样可以使得整篇文章看起来错落有致,妙趣横生。
09 检查文章
最后关头别去想是不是要增加新的论点了。检查一下有没有出现低级错误,比如首字母是否大写,拼写错误,语法错误,或者标点错误。

新托福考试的最后一部分是写作,要求考生写2篇文章,第一篇叫做综合写作(Integrated writing),让考生用3分钟时间先读一篇约250字的文章,然后听一段2分钟关于对所读内容的评论。再让考生写一篇150到225个字的文章。这篇文章的写作满分详解及满分模板作者早已给出。
第二篇作文叫独立写作,和笔考、机考均无两样,给定考生一熟悉的话题,让考生在30分钟内写一篇300字的文章。典型的问法是: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。不少同学又跟笔者要独立写作满分详解及满分模板。实际上独立写作详解和模板笔者在很多年前便给出了模板,但不知何故网上和笔者的电脑中再也寻不着。只有提起笔来结合笔者再次参加新托福考试的经验给各位同学重新总结新托福独立写作模板和高分写作技巧。
评分标准1:effectively addresses the writing topic and task。
要求考生有效地阐明主题,考生千万不要跑题。从笔者的教学经验看,考生全部跑题现象较少,但是局部跑题现象十分严重,这也是考生不能轻取高分的缘故。
评分标准2:well organized and well developed
逻辑条理清楚,发展充分。每次作者在讲写作时总是把它和阅读相对照。各位考生要想拿到独立写作满分必须真正理解八股文的结构,千万不要写中国式的八股文,而应写出美式八股文。
评分标准3:uses specific details and examples to support you view 。
考生的论据一定要具体、明确,且对论点有支持作用,而不能空洞和泛泛而谈。
评分标准4:displays language facility by demonstrating syntactic variety, word choice and idiom。
(通过谴词造句和习惯表达来展示语言的熟练程度)这一点是各位考生经常忽视, 迷惘和不清楚的`一点。新托福作文占总分120分的30分。我们对大家的要求是在作文上花的时间既要少又要拿高分,至少28分。凡是想拿到28分甚至满分以上的同学一定要注意此项评分标准。能用first千万不要用firstly,能用finally千万不要用last but not least. 不少同学花了很多功夫背这一外国人都不用的词组,能用常用的词千万不要用偏词,同时我们要熟练掌握ETS喜欢的5大语法结构和2种从句。
作文要不要写-当然要写,但我建议考生不要写的太多,写一篇要像一篇,最好让行家改2-3篇。我曾经碰到一个学生把185篇中的184篇均写了。拿给我看,结果同样的错误在184篇均反复出现,让我哭笑不得,一问才知说是老师这么教的。学托福需要勤奋,但像这种勤奋就等于浪费青春岁月。
作文要不要背-最好不要通篇背,可以背一些经典的句型。倘若真要背,一定要认准此篇作文是范文的情况下才能背。
这4个评分标准哪条更重要-这主要取决于考生对作文考分的期望值。若要考满分,此4点均重要。千万不能跑题,一跑题可就是0分了。考试费也就白交了。

接下来是托福写作中的语言问题。其实托福写作中对语言并不是特别重视,因为虽然新托福是语言考试,但是在写作这一块,考官并不太在意考生使用的词汇有多高难度、句式有多复杂,这就是新托福写作和雅思写作的差异。美国人在意的是你写出来的文章能不能让他看明白,逻辑通不通。当然,虽然不要求语言的复杂性,语言的多样性还是有要求的。词汇上来说,要注意不重复用词,那么考生平时需要积累常用的替换词。句型来说,更为简单,因为英文中的句式也就那么多种,考生只需要把每一种句子的形式整理一下,考试时有意识地安排进文章即可。语言这一块对于英语功底还可以的学生来说绝对是没有问题的。
关于托福独立写作中素材和语言的一些备考经验就为大家分享到这里,如果你也有类似本文中考生的担心忧虑,那就不妨参考一下上述内容,相信会找到一些启发和灵感。
托福考试作文范例:企业的目标是赚取利润
托福考试作文题目:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Businesses should do anything they can to make a profit. Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.
托福考试作文参考:
任何企业团体作为社会的组成部分,有责任考虑到整个社会的利益,所以不能为所欲为,强调法制的.必要性。
托福考试作文范文:
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
托福考试作文范例:不同类型电影的价值判断
托福考试作文题目:
Some movies are serious, designed to make the audience think. Other movies are designed primarily to amuse and entertain. Which type of movie do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
托福考试作文参考分析:
分两个段落讨论两种电影,说明这两种电影都有他们的价值,都值得观赏。最后一段说在不同的心情下,有着不同的选择。
托福考试作文范文:
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.

对于托福独立写作来说,虽然模式简单,但是需要清晰的论点,明确的论点。所以,对于我们的逻辑思维也是一种考验。在托福写作中,我们如果我们想要获取高分,想要让自己的托福内容言之有物,最为重要的就是确立好自己的论点。下面我们就为大家详细介绍一下在托福写作中该如何确立自己的观点。
1,要与论题相匹配。论题问的既然是提高生活质量与否,一些无关紧要的.改变就应该弃之不用,比如烹调时间缩短这一项改变,是事实,且未对生活质量有直接明显影响,就应该避免用作主要论点。
2,要能言之有物。这是再功利不过的一条标准。比如我自己提到了食物准备时间缩短能让人性情改变,破题时觉得不无可能,真落笔时却不知道由何说起,如果选了这一条为一个主要论点,结果是我说了一句话就走人,那还不如选个能下笔,能展示语言功底,也能显示思维缜密的写作方向。
3,选择的无论是2个还是3个论点,内在一定要有联系。这其实是整个立意阶段的重头。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。
托福写作破题结束后,第二要做的重要事项便是整理托福行文写作思路。破题过程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,让他们按照自认为最有说服力的顺序排列好,准备落于纸上的过程。这个说服力的强弱,应该以什么标准判断呢?笔者认为,能说服读者的议论,在论点选择上应该遵循一个原则:
三个(或者两个)论点不能在层面上有交叉,但要符合一条明线:支持全文观点。而最打动读者的论点选择,不仅遵循上面的原则,三个看似不交叉的论点间还有一条暗线贯穿一致。令全文浑然天成,回味无穷。
立意的地一步,按照上面的原则看,当然是先确定观点。以题目为例,笔者愿意选择否,食物易于准备降低了人们的生活质量。第一步踏出去了。
确定观点后,破题时得到的思维方向,明显不利于我的就应该排除。比如营养价值改变这一条,虽然速食文化的确对人体有害,但另一项速食:生疏和熟粗粮,就是向有益方向改变的,两者势均力敌,仅管是很容易想到,也很容易举例论证的论点,却不宜使用,因为如此贸然用了,有思维不缜密之嫌。然而,这毕竟是一块好啃的骨头,如果其他论点都不好论证,还可以回头捡起这一条来,隐去健康速食那个事实进行作文,当然,这依然是下下之选。

托福写作一向是中国学生比较头疼的一个部分,考生常常感到无话可说,写出来的句子不是错误连篇就是空无一物,完全是中文作文的翻译版。而事实上,写作属于输出型考试,没有大量的输入,是不可能有高质量的输出的。参加托福考试的很多高中生或者大学非英语专业的学生恰恰缺乏的就是大量的高质量的英语输入。
《新概念英语》系列教材是市面上最畅销的一套英语学习教材。因其作者亚历山大为英国著名二语教学专家,因此所选课文语言地道,用词精当。四本教材难度成梯度上升,其中新概念第三册的难度最适合托福考生的需求,文章长度适中,布局谋篇都符合英美人思维方式。所用词汇都是托福高频词汇。虽然辞藻不见得华丽,但遣词造句之间颇见功力,而将一个平淡无奇的常用词用得传神恰好是新概念系列教材的精妙之处。因而新概念第三册完全可以拿来为准备托福的考生使用。
托福独立写作评分标准在论证上提出了三点要求:1、 要有说理;2、 要有例子;3 、要有细节。这三条标准当中,中国学生最不缺的就是第一条。一个没有经过任何写作训练的考生写出来的文章往往充满了说理性的语句,并且都表达着同一个意思,缺少例子和细节,显得十分苍白无力。而一个接受了一段时间托福写作训练的学生往往会在论证当中使用举例说明的方法。无奈这类例子大多为假设,泛泛而谈,语言空洞,很难有说服力。事实上,当我们在阅读地道的英美人的'文章时,我们就会发现,英美人的文章中是充满了细节的,而这才是中国学生在进行论证时最缺乏的。
细节分为两个方面,一是语言的细化,主要体现在用词的准确性上,这是需要一段时间的积累加上特别训练才能达到的。二是例子的细化,体现在描述的细致性上,要做到这一点,除了刻意加上一些人名地名,显得描写细致以外,还需要学生多看原味英语,细细体味。
例如《新概念3》的第44课speed and comfort中描述坐火车的无聊时就运用了很多细节: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.
在这段当中,几乎没有纯粹的说理,而是一直在描述一个我们感同身受的场景,细节颇多,让人一看就很有认同感。这样一种细节的堆砌无疑是很多说服力的,点滴之间,便让人信服。
托福的官方指南(official guide)里也凸显了细节的重要性。P264中给出的范文充分说明了这一点。这篇文章的作者讲了一个情侣间不相互信任的故事,讲得很完整,前因后果都交待清楚。而这篇文章只有一个分论点,只举了一个例子,遣词造句都很平庸,但是成绩不低,关键点就在于此文对细节的描写很到位。
因此我们的学生在进行托福独立写作的时候,要注意对于be more specific这一标准的把握。很多时候,细致的例子能够弥补遣词造句上的不足。

托福独立写作主体段写法技巧(单观点篇)
托福独立写作对于不少托福考生来说是取得高分难以逾越的一道鸿沟,这不仅需要大量的练习,还需要掌握其中的诀窍。今天,小编为各位考生带来托福独立写作主题段单观点的写法点拨,希望对各位考生有所帮助。
对于独立写作我们通常都会选择五段式结构,这个结构包括三个主体段,按照题型我们可以将写作类型分为三个:支持反对类(单观点)、对比比较类(双观点)、自主定义类。首先我们要明确一下定义,单观点话题就是说题目只要求考生表明自己的态度,支持或反对,并且题目中没有任何要求拿来作比较的对象。今天,小编就为各位考生分析一下有关单观点类题目的写作技巧,下面是一道典型的题目:
Topic 20xx.11.3
People who do not work because they have enough money are rarely happy.
这道题就是一道典型的单观点题目,那些因为有足够的钱而不去工作的人,他们鲜少开心。
针对单观点话题主体段的展开有两种方式,举例我们支持是A观点,先来看第一种写法。
1. A+A+A
这种写法代表着我们需要用三个理由支持自己的选择。
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.
了解世界各地发生的事情是好的',纵使这些事不会对我们的日常生活产生任何影响。
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.
在这种写法里考生可举出了三个论点正向支持自己的态度,认为了解这些事情是必要的。但是这种写法并不适用于每个考生,因为对于大部分考生来说,要一口气想到主体段的三个理由是有难度的,需要较为丰富的素材积累和较快地反应速度才能做到。因此,大部分考生在写作过程中倾向于选择让步段的写作方式,可以快速简单有效地解决主体段分论点。下面我们来看第二种写法。
2. A+A+(-A)
这种写法代表,前两个论点正向表达考生的观点,最后一个主体段让步一下,以达到全面看待topic的效果。在此引用一个例子:
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.
这道题我们的写法依然是先用两个理由解释我们为什么持反对的态度,然后再用一个相反的观点削弱我们的态度,从而达到全面看待问题的效果。最后一个观点的逻辑是,虽然承认有负面影响,但同时为科学开脱:这些消极的影响并非出自科学家之手,而是由于人们的不恰当使用造成的。

动静结合总相宜
例1:她按时到校上学。
动态句:She attends school regularly.
静态句:Her attendance at school is regular.
例2:他拥有一所房子。
动态句:He possesses a house.
静态句:He is in possession of a house.
技巧小结:中文习惯动词占优势,但是英语里面静态词汇(名词、介词、副词、形容词等)占优势。所以在写作时同学们应该考虑英语句子静态特征的表达。
具体抽象互补足
例3:她的朴素衣着使他显得更美。
具体句:Her simple dress adds to her beauty.
抽象句:The simplicity of her dress adds to her beauty.
例4:温暖的`房间使我昏昏欲睡。
具体句:The warm room made me sleepy.
抽象句:The warmth of the room made me sleepy.
技巧小结:中文表达重具体,英文表达重抽象。
物称人称相交替
例5: 我永远忘不了这个教训。
人称主语:
I will neverforget the lesson.
物称主语:
The lesson willbe rootedin my memory forever.
例6: 不同的团队成员对工作有不同的态度。
人称主语:
Different team members have different attitudes towards work.
物称主语:
Attitudes towards work vary from person to person.
技巧小结:英语主语常用人称和物称两种形式表达。物称主语注重“什么事发生在什么人身上”,人称主语侧重“什么人怎么样”。

1, 观点明确
观点是一篇文章的灵魂。如果刚刚准备作文,看到题目,不知道怎么样说,那么可以先参考李笑来的范文。一来看别人是如何阐述自己观点,二来也算同时准备口语。但是到了后期,一定要看到一个题目的时候,能形成自己的观点,而不是人云亦云。这一点是托福独立写作能够拿到高分的最重要的因素。
2,逻辑清晰,论据具体。
托福独立作文要求展开充分well developed。怎么叫充分展开呢,一个题目,如果表示完全同意或反对,那么就显得太极端,太片面,通常只能得到很低的分数。但是简单的各打五十大板的做法也不可取。最简单的解决办法就是在照顾平衡的基础上有所侧重,也就是说,在论述一个问题的时候,一定要有所倾向,但是对另外的观点也要适当的着些笔墨。
除了清晰的逻辑,还需要具体合适的论据以及例子。天道专家建议考生不要去背别人的例子然后生搬硬套到自己的文章中去。例子不在多,在于是否贴切(appropriate),有说服力的例子一两个就足够了。
3、语言
托福独立作文的语言上面达到以下3个要求就足够了:准确、流畅、丰富。准确是最基本的,要求考生的文章在拼写、语法、用词以及搭配上没有严重的错误。流畅是指文章整体的行文要一气呵成,逻辑进路清晰可见。在做到准确、流畅的基础上,语言的丰富多变是体现一个考生语言能力的.重要指标,在同一篇文章里,用词要尽量避免重复,适当的时候,可能还要运用一些修辞手法。
一篇好的托福独立写作最重要的评分标准就是有个有效的论点,其次是清晰的逻辑,充分展开。最后才是语言。只要大家做到这3个标准,那么托福独立写作也就不是那么难了。当然,这些都不是能在朝夕之间就可以做到的。需要平时点点滴滴的训练与积累。希望本文对考生的备考生涯有所帮助!

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.审题
在托福独立写作考试中,考生应该学会审题,如果考生在审题中出现失误的话,就算考生的论述再清晰,也不会取得高分的。根据以往的独立写作的题目,前程百利小编认为,可以把独立写作中的题型分为观点选择类,比较对比类。建议考生在看到题目的时候,首先把题目通读1-3遍,着重看在题目中的名词和动词,如果题目中给出了两个观点或者是一个观点的两个方面,要求考生进行比较论述并给出个人的观点,那就是观点选择类的题目,比如在TPO1中,问考生agree or disagree with the following statement就是观点选择题;如果要求考生根据两个对立的观点做出选择就是比较对比类型的题比如在TPO11中了,让考生在针对人们关于电脑的两个不同的认知中进行选择就是这类题目。
二.怎样谋篇布局
在确定题目类型之后,考生就应该进行谋篇布局了。但是小编认为,不管是什么类型的题目,考生在组织论述的时候都应该采用五段式的方式表达自己的观点,而且需要考生注意的是,在确定论点先后顺序的时候应该慎重,要有逻辑性的安排这些论点。比如考生可以按照这些论点的重要性进行排列,把最能表达自己观点的部分放在首位,把最不能表达自己观点的内容放在最后一个自然段进行论述;或者考生在安排论点的时候可以按照范围的大小来进行排列,总之一定要有逻辑。
1.观点选择类
在这个题目中,考生直接选择其中的一个观点写就可以了,一定要注意不要将在题目中出现的不同的观点进行对比,在表明自己观点的基础上,考生可以选择三个方面进行论证,这些论点之间可以是层层递进的关系,也可以说平行关系,最后再总述论点即可。我们以TPO5为例,如果考生选择的是不同意这个People today spend too much time on personal enjoyment-doing things they like to do rather than doing things they should do观点的话,就可以这样采用平行的方式展开论述。首先现代社会提倡人们追求自由,越来越多的人从其中收益了即As the development of democracy, the ideas and behaviors of individual are respected and encouraged to some extent.其次人们这样选择并不意味着大家放弃了accountability 即However, spending much time on personal enjoyment does not indicate that people ignore their accountability which should be taken.最后追求个人的享受,帮助大家去assume the responsibility 。
2. 比较对比类
在托福写作中的'比较对比型文章中,考生一定要注意选择其中的一方,不要写中立观点的文章。在开头的过程中,考生就要选择好自己要支持的观点,做到有效的回应题目,阐明文章主题。在正文部分也就是2-4自然段,在论证的过程中,考生可以从日常生活中比如家庭,生活,社会这几方面进行选择,在论证的过程中,如果考生并没有那些华丽的辞藻可以补充自己的观点,建议考生选择直接论证的方式,说两点自己选择的好处,然后说另一个选项的不好的地方,并且用举例子的方式来证明自己的观点。比如在TPO13中,如果考生认为 the extended family is still important就可以从以下来论述。首先,从家庭的角度来说,人多了可以帮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.其次从社会的角度来说,人多了就意味着家里人可以获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,说小家庭的不好,家庭小了人们容易变得孤独。In addition, nowadays people tend to live alone with their small care family rather than live with many family members within a big family.
托福独立写作考试并不像大家想象中的那么困难,所以考生应该在掌掌握以上技巧和方法的基础上,采用历年真题不断练习,争取在考试中取得高分!
