托福作文话题分类及范文

1.建设类：建设类题目共六道题，大都是问你所在社区一建设项目的利与弊。

为了合并题目，最好将自己所在社区定下来，在城市就在城市，在郊区就在郊区，那么简要介绍社区情况的时候就节省了准备时间。按此原则，以下提纲中的红色文字都是重复出现的论点或论据，可重复在不同题目的作文中使用。

5. The advantages and disadvantages of a new factory near your

community.

第一段：陈述自己所在社区处于郊区，并简要介绍情况，说明建立一个新工厂这一提议对自己来说是一个两难的选择（Dillemma）：一方面它有好处，比如可以刺激经济，另一方面又对郊区的环境有潜在的威胁；

第二段：陈述好处。如新工厂可以为社区居民提供工作机会（可假设你所在的社区就业率不高），并带动周边附属产业，刺激社区的经济发展；

第三段：陈述坏处（注意转折用词）。如新工厂对郊区的土地、河流都有一定的污染，破坏了郊区的环境；同时也破坏了郊区宁静的生活（因为噪音、交通等）；

第四段：虽然有诸多坏处，然而我们去要权衡是利大于弊还是弊大于利；并相信只要通过严格管制，控制环境问题等潜在危害，新工厂可以为社区带来更多的好处（当然也可以有其它看法）。

I I live in a primarily agricultural community,and most of the population

lives hand to mouth.Parents keep children home from school to work in the fields.If there is a flood or drought,people starve.A new factory would mean regular monthly salaries as well as protection against natural disasters or a sudden drop in the price of our main agricultural product,say,corn.

Regular salaries would allow families the confidence to make investments in their future.The local would be able to plan their finances accurately and free themselves from debt.This in turn would encourage

entrepreneurship and further develop the local economy.People coudd begin to open shops,restaurants dormitories,and entertainment facilities to serve the factory workers with their savings.Profits from these small enterprises would further enrich the local community and turn our relatively poor

farmland into a truly profitable development zone.Perhaps more parents could then afford to send all of their shildren to high school and maybe even college.

There would certainly be negetive effects as well.If the area becomes prosperous,immigrants from poorer regions will come here looking for

work.Because of their relative poverty they will work harder fo less money than the locals and drive wages down.There might be more immigrants than

factory jobs available,leading to an unemployment crisis with a rising crime rate as a potential negative side effect.

On the other hand,the proposed factory would almost certainly have effects on the local enviroment,particularly in regards to polluting the water.This is perhaps the most serious concern,because without clean water the area cannot sustain life of any kind,livestock,or human

Howere,because of the relatively desperate economic situation of my hometown,I believe the potential benefits of opening a new factory would outweigh the risks.If we take the proper precautions,such as imposing strick environmental standars and providing adequeate social services for immigrants,the whole area stands to benefit

16. What's your opinion on a new restaurant built in your neighborhood?第一段：陈述一家新餐馆入主你所在的社区虽然看上去和自己无关，但考虑到社区的情况，它对实际上对社区居民还是有利有弊；

第二段：陈述好处。首先表明自己所在社区已经有一定量的餐馆，就餐价格比较稳定，但新餐馆的入主即引入了竞争，就餐价格在未来有潜在降低的可能；另一方面，新餐馆要有竞争力，肯定会有新食物，这让社区居民有了更多选择和体验；也能提供一定的工作机会；

第三段：陈述坏处。餐馆太多，或价格过于低廉，让社区居民更偏向出门就餐，自己不做饭，变得懒惰；而且，过多的到餐馆消费会造成浪费；

第四段：总结利弊，说明利大于弊，自己还是愿意看到新餐馆的落户。

Untile recently our neighborhood has not any restaurants.We have a local food market and several small convenience stores,and even several street side food stands,but no real restaurants.I am personally in favor of opening a new restaurant in our neighborhood,and believe it will make people’s lives more conveniet,support the local economy,and creat a healthier community spirit.

Cooking at home every night is time-consuming and tiring for local families.After a long day at work,local people have to spend at least one hour to shop for groceries,and even more for cooking dinner,and cleaning up after the meal.By the time all is finished,they almost have no time to enjoy the company of their families.Eating out would save time if there were a restaurant nearby,but the closest restaurant is a 30-minute walk away.If a

restaurant opened in our neighborhood it would allow local people to relax for a night or two every week and enjoy more time with their families.

A new restaurant would also help the local economy.Building the restaurant would require the labor of local carpenters,plumbers,and electricians.The new restaurant would need to buy a great deal of food and produce from local markets and supplies like furniture,cooking utensils,and everyday items from local merchats.It would also create jobs for

waiters,managers,and chefs.Perhaps most importantly,a new restaurant could also potentially attract business from the surrounding neighborhoods,bringing more investment into our community.

Finally,a new restaurant would give local people a public space to gather and talk in.Our community has few suituation open spaces for people to meet and have conversations.The streets and markets too noisy,and the shops have no place to sit down.People who were once strangers could meet in this restaurant and become better acquainted with one another;ner friendships could be forged while old friendships could be strenghened.The benefits of a restaurant to community life are harder to measure than are its economic benefits,but in my opinio are sorely needed in our community.

25. Do you like a large shopping center being built in your neighborhood?第一段：陈述自己所在社区处于郊区，并简要介绍情况，如可以强调落后，并表明自己希望有一个大型购物中心的愿望；

第二段：进一步陈述希望有大型购物中心的理由。如郊区落后，商店少，商品不全，有的商品需要进城卖。而大型购物中心解决了这一问题；

第三段：陈述其它希望有大型购物中心的理由。如大型购物中心的落户会引入竞争，从而商品在未来有掉价的可能，并且竞争中，当地零售服务的质量和商品质量都有提高的可能；

第四段：让步承认大型购物中心的建设也有弊端，如打破郊区宁静的生活等。但经过权衡，利大于弊，所以还是支持大型购物中心的建设。

While the proponets of the plan to build a large shopping center in my community believe that it will aid economic development,I think that it will possibly do irrreparable harm to our neighborhood.The proposed shopping center will damage existing business,provide inferior products,and destroy the environment of our peaceful community.

Research indicates that companies with less than 50 workers employ more people and generate more revenue as a percentage of a nation’s GDP than large-scale corporations.This is true in American,where small businesses are considered tne engine of the economy,as it is in our community where many people own and operate small https://www.360docs.net/doc/193486472.html,rge stores can buy large quantities of goods at wholesale prices.While local grocery,that cannot buy products in bulk,will be unable to compete.Once the competition is gone,the large store can raise its prices and lower its employee’s wages.This classic example of exploitative monopoly capitalism impoverishes a community while enriching a small number of people.

The goods sold ant the shopping center would be mass produced and necessarily of inferior quality to the handcrafted local goods and freshlly grown local produce.Cheap products like plastic furniture would lack the character and local flavor of traditional wooden furniture made right here in our town.Cheaply mass-produced food,laden with pesticides and chemical preservatives,would crowd out the healthier,fresher,and tastier local produce on the shelves of the large shopping center.Low prices from the large store might tempt local consumers to eat less healthy food,endangering the health of local people as well as harming the incomes of local farmers and shopkeepers.

Lastly,I must point out that a large shopping center might bring unwelcome development to our small community.Ugly and noisy roads and parking lots would need to be constructed.The volume of people wanting to buy things at the new shopping center would worsen the traffic

situation,which is already bad.Pollution from cars and trucks already has a notably degrading effect on the local air-quality and this is also bound to become worse as the traffic to and from the shopping center increase

26. Do you like a new movie theater being built in your neighborhood?

第一段：陈述自己所在社区处于郊区，并简要介绍情况，如可以强调落后，电影院就一家，从而缺乏娱乐，也缺乏对外部世界的了解，并进而表明自己希望有新的电影院；

第二段：进一步陈述自己希望有新电影院的原因，如新电影院引入了竞争，从而票价有降低的潜在可能，服务也有可能变得更好；另外电影院多了，能观看的电影的种类也就多了；

第三段：新电影院提供新的工作机会；带动周边附属产业，如咖啡馆，烧烤店等副食产业；

第四段：多看电影能打开眼界，更多地接触外界文化，并综上强调自己希望有一家新电影院。

Many people consider our town a small provincial backwater,lacking both culture and amenities of modern life.Building the recently proposed movie theater would be a step in the right direction,away from our backwards past,and towards participation in the larger world.It will create jobs,spark economic activity,and provide entertainment and culture for our young people

Movie theater are necessarily large-scale affairs,attract a large amout of customers,and accordingly need to employ a fairly large number of people as ushers,concession stand chefs and attendants,ticket sellers,and janitorial staff,as well as projection technicians,managers,accountants,and other higher-level professionals.The employees would be drawn from the local population,and considering the tight job market in the area,the movie theater would provide much needed full or supplement incomes for at least thirty families in the area

Goning to the movies is usually an evening experience that either precedes or comes directly after eating dinner.For this reason many restaurants,cafes,bars,music shops,and other leisure and entertainment venues spring up around movies theaters.People who are going to the movies have disposable incomes and have already left their houses in search of a good time.This is an ideal market,and local entrepreneurs are certain to capitalize on the opportunity to open up new business ventures and develop the lucrative area around the movie theater,further invigorating the local economy

30. Do you like a new high school being built in your neighborhood?

第一段：教育是百年大计（a fundamental task crucial for generations to come）,当然要同意

第二段：社区的孩子就近上学很方便，减少了路上可能发生交通事故的可能性

第三段；可以提高社区文化氛围（将有更多的书店，音像店）：；从而促进社区经济繁荣；提高就业率等

第四段；尽管社区可能变得嘈杂一下，但是总体上还是应该支持的
