为了让大家更好的准备托福考试,给大家整理一些托福写作小知识,下面就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。

托福写作解读考试中的常见错误

1.用词不当

学生们写的作文里或多或少都会有一些用词不当的问题,但是要注意的是一些最最基本的错误是不能犯的。

In the show, if participators answer twenty problems that the host mentioned correctly, they will get five hundreds thousand U.S. dollars as a

prize.

——problems应改为questions

2.拼写错误

这里的拼写错误不是指在考试时候的误打,而是本身对词汇拼写记忆的错误。

In conclusion, issue of whether parents are the best teachers is a complex

one, requiring subjective judgement, consequently, there are no easy or certain

answers.

——judgement应改为judgment

3.乱用大词

First of all, children can earn money from their jobs, although there isn’t

too much, but they will keep their salary gingerliness.

这里的gingerliness根本是不知所云。该句子还有以下问题:

1)该作文题目是讲学生是否应该做兼职,因此children的出现就显得很莫名其妙;

2)although和but是不能连用的;

3)指代不明,they不知道是指代前面的什么;

4.表达中式

The second argument-it might have been noticed by others-is that in some

occasion, it is quite difficult to compare parents to teachers because parents

are a kind of people, teachers are a kind of vocation.

句子中划线部分的表达过于中式化。

托福写作词语运用的原则

一。“言简朴实原则”

“言简朴实原则”意思是行文主张不写啰嗦或绚丽的字眼(flowery or wordy),句子应该越短越好,一句能用两个字,绝不多加一个。例如:

At this point in time,we should pull together for our goal.

(现在我们应该为我们的目标团结一致)这句话中“At this point in time”

表示“现在”,我们完全可以用now来代替。

Despite the fact that my English is not very good,I am not discouraged。(虽然我的英语不好,但我不灰心。) 这句话中despite the fact tha t= although =

though,因此我们完全可以改成Although my English is not very good,I am not discouraged。

In the majority of cases,he likes to ride bike to the office.

(他通常喜欢骑单车到办公室)。很简单的一句话,完全可以写成He usually likes to ride bike to the office。

平时我们所说的用词多样化和地道并不是体现在这些时间副词或者是完全可以简化的啰嗦句型上,而是指实用性极强的词如动词和形容词,比如:

Original:Solving trivial problems in the dorm will add your social experience and help you to understand other people’s feelings and learn to be

kind。

Revised:Solving trivial problems in the dorm will enrich your social

experience and help you to understand other people’s feelings and learn to be

considerate。

add,kind表达的含义都比较宽泛。add可以指数量上的增加,

也可以指程度的加强,对于“丰富经验、增加知识”这个意思,用enrich 会使表达更准确。kind从字面意义上讲是“好的、善良的”,用kind 来形容人无法具体地表现出一个人的性格特征到底怎样,原句中是想表达“考虑周到、体贴入微”的特点,要准确表达这个含义应选择considerate。

另外,我们常见的一些累赘用词表现在句意的理解上,比如:He has had many years of (actual) experience in business. (他有多年经商的经验)

actual是多余的,因为experience已经有actual的意味了。

We assembled (together) all the parts for our radio.

(我们装好收音机的零件)assemble本身就有together的意思,因此together是多余的。

此外还有,in reference to=about; draw to close=end; at an early date=soon等。

二。“平等相处原则”

“平等相处原则”的意思是行文不出现明显的带歧视或偏见的字眼,包括男女性别,也要避免区别,以示“平等”。例如:Many businessmen(businesswomen) feel their jobs are very stressful.

(许多商人觉得工作压力很大)这句话写businessmen或是businesswomen都是不妥当的,可以改为business people或business executives或business managers就可以包括男女了。

Policemen (policewomen) should treat citizens with courtesy。(警察对人民应该有礼貌)假如把

policemen 或policewomen 改为police officers 就可避免男女性别Stewardesses for international regions may get jet lag sometimes。(国际航线的空中小姐有时会有时差疲惫的现象)如把stewardess 改为flight

attendant,就能包括男女空中服务员。

其他的如把salesman或saleswoman改为salesperson;把mailman 改为mail carrier或postal

worker;把foreman改为supervisor等。

当然,一些带有种族偏见的字眼,甚至有侮辱的味道(insulting words 或slur),也要尽量避免使用,以免闹出麻烦。例如:对黑人不要用Negro,更不能用Nigger(用Black 还可以),礼貌的说法是Afro-American 或

African-American;

对白人不要用Honky(这是黑人骂白人的用字),正确用法是Caucasian,或white people;

对犹太人不要用Hymies,应该叫Jewish 或Jewish people;

对越南人不要用Gook,要用Vietnamese;

至于墨西哥人、西班牙人及中、南美洲人,包括Puerto Rico,正确的用法多是Hispanics 或

Latins,不过据说西班牙人为了维护自己的文化,倒喜欢别人称为

Spaniard。

还有黑白结婚的孩子,也不可称为Oreo(Oreo 饼干外面是巧克力,里面是白奶油)。

当然对于一些很不礼貌的老外叫我们中国人Chink 或Chinaman,而不是Chinese的时候,话说“君子不与小人斗”,我们可以不理(ignore)或是走开(walk away),尽量避免冲突。

托福写作如何使用万金油

“万金油”要用得妙

写一篇托福作文就如同做一盘菜,如何要将其做的色香味俱全,就靠厨子的功夫了。参考北京新东方戴云老师提出的三个“万能理由”:Career

preparation/increase knowledge/new experiences以及分为10类的““万金油””:健康和安全、便利、经济、交流

、幸福和情感、成功、环保、品格、科技、教育与培训、国家与文明,这十类几乎涵盖了我们在进行文章论述时所能涉及的全部范围。所以如果能够将这些““万金油””用好,用熟,就能达到事半功倍的效果。

““万金油””是油,要用,还要活用

在托福考试时,首先是时间紧。要在半小时内完成400字左右的文章;其次,在很短时间内要根据题目想出几条支持自己论点的理由,并将其有序地组织起来,构成文章,而且还要做到语言地道。所以考生很容易手忙脚乱。所以为了避免这种情况的发生,让考生在短时间

内完成一篇高质量的文章,把这盘菜做好,就需要“万金油”出场了。

要做菜,油是必不可少的。同样,在托福作文中,也一定会用到““万金油””。用的时候切忌生搬硬套,要灵活运用。

在有限的时间内,在确立了我们要写的中心论点之后,就要想出几个分论点,这时可以通过“万金油”来帮助我们节省时间,迅速定位,快速进入写作状态。

比如:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Nowadays, people

are putting too much emphasis on appearance and fashion. Use specific reasons

and examples to support your answer.

解这道题目,首先从自己出发,怎么好写,怎么容易写,去确定自己的中心论点。假如从disagree

的角度出发,要从哪几个分论点去论述人们并没有对外表和时尚putting too much emphasis 呢?

考生在现场可能会抓耳挠腮,一时不知从何下手,这时我们可以借助戴云老师的10个分类“万金油”去一一验证。

首先,可以从适用范围最广的三个万能理由去分析可行不可行:Career preparation/increase knowledge/new

experiences。

对时尚外表的关注可以帮助我们的Career preparation——事业成功吗?——成功,也就是十类中的“成功”。

答案是可以!注重外表,关注时尚反映一个人的生活品味,个人气质会提升,进而引起人们的关注,这自然会为自己带来意想不到的工作机会,进而发展自己的事业。你可以举例,X.X就是因为平常对时尚的关注,注重外表,气质好,给人印象深刻,而在面试中脱颖而出,成功地得到一份好的工作。

接下来从其他十个分类中,进行快速定位,寻找分论点。国家与文明,

国家的范畴很大,可以展开论述。就其中的公益和慈善方面,可以举例。由于人们以时尚的关注,还能帮助他人,比如最近的“犀利哥事件”,从一个普通的流浪乞丐,因为其与众不同的穿着打扮,引起人们的关注,进而帮助他与家人团聚,唤起了人们对弱势群体的关注,进而促进了社会和谐。

第三个“健康和安全”也能用,可以说人们对时尚外表的关注,自然会崇尚健康的护肤产品,保养品,要注意保持身材,就会关注健身,要穿用对人们身体好的布料做的衣服,进而提高了人的身体健康。

第四个,经济。人们关注外表和时尚,就会进行大量消费,可以用一组数据来证明,时尚业对经济的贡献。消费刺激市场,进而推动经济发展。

第五个,幸福和情感。现代生活的压力越来越大,人们希望可以放松身心,对时尚和外表的关注,可以让人们的身心得到愉悦,缓解工作中的压力。人们只是借助时尚来放松娱乐自己,使自己的生活更加精彩,并不是put

too much emphasis。

……

通过分析这道题目,我们可以看出“万金油”真的可以在托福作文中助我们一臂之力,在紧张的考场中,只要脑中有了“万金油”,就不愁找不到论点。但我们要把它用好,用对,否则会达到反效果。一定要用具体例子来辅助它,这样才可以使“做的饭菜更香”。

托福写作的高分句型整理

,定语从句。

这应该算是写作中最常用的一种句型之一。适当地运用定语从句可以给你的文章增色不少。

例如,下面的这两个句子用上定语从句马上就变成了一个漂亮的复杂句。

about violence, superstition, and sex.

superstition, and sex, contain evil thoughts.

3. 条件状语从句:常由if, on the condition that和providing that 引导

4. 时间状语从句:常由when和while引导

Eg: When it comes to education, the majority of people believe that education is a lifetime study.

说到教育,大部分人认为其是一个终生的学习。

Eg: Millions of people have to spend more time and energy on studying new

skills and technology so that they can keep a favorable position in job market.

environmental pollution.

in both the rural and urban areas is deteriorating.

live.

economy, playing crucial role in many Asian countries.

第十,插入语。

一种独立成分,与句子的其它成分一般没有语法上的关系,大都是对一句话作一些附加说明或解释。它通常由一个词、一个短语或一个句子构成,位置较为灵活,可置于句首、句中或句末,一般用逗号或破折号与句子隔开。

托福口语每道题的答题方法

托福口语每道题的答题方法 不管是托福口语试题的哪部分,都有其内在的出题规律和答题技巧,今天给大家带来托福口语每道题的答题方法,希望可以帮助到大家,下面就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。 托福口语每道题的答题方法 首先是第一题,preference 题或称之为“偏好题”,经过收集和研究,题型主要走人物题、地点题、事件题及物品题。由于不会出现雅思考试考官针对同一话题问两次到三次的情况,所以针对托福备考有个称之为“同一话题只需准备一个题材”的概念,也就是在备考前面对同一话题无需泛化去找另类话题,而是不断深化,思考可以囊括阐述其他人物、地点、事件或物品的通用理由。如果*开始表述,建议如同写作一样大体分为三段阐述,开题无需技巧,简单读题即可,把you 都改成me,比起I think……开头可以省去相对多的思维时间。内容一般找三个理由,为避免理由重复或累赘,建议就方便、经济、减压等常用理由进行练习,并结合不断问自己How 及Why 等问题来充实内容,完成example 的部分。最后用连词进行连接,这里有个技巧,就使用first, also, finally,因为三到六题综合题中这三个词常成为提示词出现,在前两题中使用可对其有一定敏感度。

再次是第二题,结合第一题,内容分布完全相同,并且这两题对时间把握尤其重要,要求考生进行“掐表”练习,对45s 有感性认识,当一定练习后,口语部分的考试不再是考内容的,而是考时间的,因此在考试过程中掐时间角度有很多技巧可言,比如:当阐述内容结束时时间为38s 或39s,则在最后可加句detail 或一句类似The person like me has no choice but to do sth.的长废话;当结束时时间为41s 或42s,则在最后可加一句短废话,如I find it’s cool. 最讨厌的是41s 说完这句短废话后变成42s,离perfect time 还是有3 秒钟,那么可以用一些装口吃或吞口水的考场技巧将时间掐到44s 或45s。(实践证明装口吃或吞口水不扣分)最后是三到六题的综合题部分。综合题由于会有听力和阅读,因此要求考生对信号词定位有所敏感,口语中涉及的技巧是即使不理解听力内容,结合简单的信号词如first, also, finally, but, yet, for the following reasons 等定位中心内容,遇到生疏单词、句子,记下读音,再完整地还给考官,一样得分。第三题听力内容中一男一女进行谈话,就他们对阅读内容的态度与否(支持还是反对),不可以从语气上进行判断,要根据记录内容的回推去确认,以免犯错。 第四题是普遍认为最难的一题,但记好一个技巧:“阅读找概念,听力找例子”,由于此学术题是由同一个人出的,听力内

托福写作常见错误你犯过么

托福写作常见错误你犯过么? 考生们在自己复习托福写作的时候,因为没有系统专业的辅导,很有可能在很多方面都存在着托福写作的误区。下面就把托福作文中有可能出现的误区为大家总结出来。 错误一:在准备TWE185题库或者准备Barron、delta、longman等辅导材料的题目。 新托福写作题目都是现在新托福考试的真题的题目,但是很多考友发过来的文章是TWE的185题库,或者是Barron、delta、longman的题目,这些题目不是说没有价值,而是现在这些材料已经被证明与现行的新托福考试不能完全接轨了,尤其是当我们看到kaplan里面的某些题目,竟然是在讨论诸如爱情之类的问题的时候,我们只能感叹某些参考书的专业度实在需要极强。 那么TWE185就完全没有价值了么?当然不是,在新托福刚刚出现的时候,人们就已经

发现其实新托福考试之中的很多口语题目就是出自于原来的TWE的185题库,因此拿原来老托福的185题库来准备我们现在的口语是非常合适的,但是如果你仍然在用这些TWE185题目在准备现在的独立作文的话,那么只能说你已经站在起跑线的后面了。 错误二:字数越多越好。 当我们单纯地看到“字数越多越好”的时候,可以说这是有一定的道理的,因为如果你的字数越多,那么就越能更好的阐明自己的观点,但是很多考友特别喜欢将这种思路发挥到极致。要知道其实托福作文如果能达到350字-450字就已经很好了,只要达到这个范围内基本上就不会对你的分数产生任何负面的影响了。 错误三:托福写作备考刚开始,就要限定时间。 当我们刚刚开始准备作文的时候,由于国内英语教育只注重输入而不注重输出的特点决定了,我们现在国内的很多考友们,有可能在真正准备新托福考试的作文之前从来都没有写过几篇作文,因此当面对托福考试这么多字数的要求的时候,常常会觉得自己无所适从。因此很多人,在准备不充分的情况下就限定自己一定要在规定的30分钟时间之内,完成托福作文。

如何复习托福写作之独立写作~

上次跟大家谈到了综合写作的复习,今天来说说独立部分。说到独立写作,就不得提到众所周知的“机经”。所谓“机经”,是指考过托福的同学通过回忆还原出来的托福考试原题,通常听说读写四部分都有,但是最有价值的,当然是口语和写作这两个主观题的独立部分。尤其是提前知道作文题目,确实是件振奋人心的事。“机经预测”源自于2007年,一部分细心的老师发现大陆的托福考题经常重复北美考过的老题,而且这种重复呈现出一定的规律性,于是,中国大陆的托福考试界拉开了“机经预测”的大幕,并涌现出众多风云人物,在这里不一一列举。07年至11年,多少学生因为机经而改变命运,我自己的学生里就有很多例子,甚至也出现过三个月之内从19分到71分的奇迹。然而,2011年9月,ETS忍无可忍,开始改变出题的逻辑,使得机经预测连续“扑空”,直到几个月后,“机经预测”才慢慢再次步入正轨,只是范围比以前要更大,一个月一般有20-30套,命中的概率也不如以前。那么,现在准备考托福的同学到底该怎么使用机经呢? 首先,大家应该忘掉机经本身,专注于我们最终的目的——托福写作。这正像学习听力的同学应该专注于托福听力本身,而不是漫无目的地疯狂听写一样。托福独立写作底考什么,满分文章到底需要什么,才是我们应该首先搞清楚的问题。 下面我们来说说托福考试独立写作的出题模式。总的来说,有两种主要出题形式: 1、Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? XXX 2、Some people prefer to XXX, while others like to XXX. Which do you prefer? 其中,第一种最常见,大约占80-90%,这种题目要么agree,要么disagree,没有中间状态,但是需要注意的是,不管是“完全不同意”还是“不完全同意”都是不同意。比如,问题说:Do you agree or disagree? If parents want their children to do well at school, they should limit the time that their children spend on watching TV. 写的时候就可以完全不同意,因为Limiting children will only create problems instead of inviting better performances. 而如果问题是:Do you agree or disagree? Advice from our grandparents is no longer useful, for the world has changed so much over the past 50 years. 写的时候就可以说some of their advice may be no longer useful due to the rapid social or technological changes, but they can still provide valuable suggestions in many ways since they have experienced many things that we are experiencing today. 这就叫不完全同意,也属于disagree的范畴。另外,如果问:Do you agree or disagree? A is more important than B. 也是可以写不同意的,接着证明A and B are equally important. 这种立意经常被同学们理解为“中立”,其实还是属于disagree的范畴。 下面,我们来分析独立写作的评分细则:

So it is sagacious to choose A. Among countless factors which influence A. there are three conspicuous aspects as follows. The above point is certainly true if A is considered. For example, ___________________ Another reason why I agree with the above statement is that I believe that A is better than B. For instance, ______________ It would probably not be too kindly disposed to the idea that B is not important. B________也好_________. In a word, to choose A or B is something of a dilemma to the public because they sometimes are confused by the seemingly good qualities of B, and neglect the genuinely good aspects of A. For the reasons presented above, I strongly commit to the notion that A, but not B.

托福写作如何避免用词不准确问题

托福写作如何避免用词不准确问题 托福写作中考生的用词是一个比较重要的考点,用词出错或者不准确的问题也常会导致考生的作文扣分。下面就和大家分享托福写作如何避免用词不准确问题,来欣赏一下吧。 托福写作如何避免用词不准确问题?3个改写实例帮你拓展思路 托福写作用词不准确问题很常见 写作中用词不准确是很容易犯的毛病,good,terrible,see,nice,kind,greatly,think,know,something 等词汇在学生作文中反复出现。这些词本身并没有问题,是英语常用词,但是它们表达的意思过于模糊,很多情况下,应该使用意义更加准确的词。况且,学生老是使用这几个词会给人以表达形式单调,词汇量贫乏,*缺乏感染力的印象。 实例讲解托福写作词汇使用技巧 下面的一些例子,通过换用一、两个准确生动的词语或是运用一些固定搭配及习语就使整个句子增色不少。

1.Original: Solving trivial problems in the dorm will add your social experience and helpyou to understand other people’s feelings and learn to be kind. Revised: Solving trivial problems in the dorm will enrich your social experience andhelp you to understand other people’s feelings andlearn to be considerate. 亮点评析 add,kind表达的含义都比较宽泛。 add可以指数量上的增加,也可以指程度的加强,对于“丰富经验、增加知识”这个意思,用enrich会使表达更准确。 kind从字面意义上讲是“好的、善良的”,用kind来形容人无法具体地表现出一个人的性格特征到底怎样,原句中是想表达“考虑周到、体贴入微”的特点,要准确表达这个含义应选择considerate。 2. Original:Science and technology have greatly influenced our lives and our society ischanging very rapidly. Revised:Science and technology have come to pervade every aspect of our lives and, as aresult, society is changing at a speed which is quite unprecedented.

托福写作技巧-常见错误的解决方法

托福写作技巧-常见错误的解决方法 1.结构不平行例:I was able to raise my TOEFL score by studying hard and I read lots of books.当使用连词将一系列的单词联接起来的时候,理应使用词性相同或同一类型的短语。 2.不知所云例:Many companies began using computers mouth. 3.段落过长,不分段主语与动词一致问题She are a good friend of mine that I has known for a long time.主语和动词在数方面不一致。 4.句子别扭We heated the soup in the microwave for too long and the shape of the container changed.措辞过长或不清。 换言之,句子显得滑稽可笑。 5.不要使用缩写在正式的写作中不要使用缩写形式(can’t, don't,it's,we'll,they've等等),而理应使用单词的完整形式(cannot,do not,it is,we will,they have等等)。 6.关联词语重复Since I want to go to a good school, therefore I am trying to raise my test scores.不能在该句的主 要主语和主要动词前使用连词。 7.句子不完整Many students have a hard time passing all the tests to getsintoscollege.

2 托福ITP写作分析 1. 考试形式 托福ITP考试的写作部分全名叫“Structure and Written Expression Section”。顾名思义,句子结构考察+写作表达考察。句子结构部分让考生从4个选项中选择正确的答案来补全句子,类似同学们在中学阶段和四六级做的语法选择题。写作表达部分让学生在一个句子的4个划线部分中选择需要修改的内容。写作部分总计40道题目,25分钟,其中句子结构部分15题,写作表达部分25题。 图一:句子结构(Structure)题目

图二:写作表达(Written Expression)题目 2. 考察内容 Structure部分侧重于对句子成分的考察,比如动词的正确形式、主谓一致、形容词和副词的混淆、比较级、代词的使用,等等。 Written Expression部分中的句子都改编自学术材料,考察的语言点跟Structure部分基本一致。 3. 难度分析 与同学们习惯的托福IBT考试相比,ITP的写作部分不需要同学们自己写文章,难度显然是降低了很多。不过对于语法基础相对较弱的同学来说(托福写作低于17分),语法题反而可能增加了难度,因为有些同学在辨识语法错误上有比较大的困难。同样,一向以表达高级、打字飞快、文思如泉涌而著称的高分段选手也丧失了用文章展示自己才华的宝贵机会,所以在保证写作部分高分的同时,听力、阅读也需要再加把劲了。 另外,跟老托福(托福 PBT)相比,写作部分的题型、题目数量完全一致,难度基本一致。 4. 备考建议 (1)刷题+总结问题:对于想考ITP的同学,建议大家先通过刷题(官方样题、老托福题目)发现自己在语法上的漏洞和盲点。带着问题来上课会事半功倍。如果语法基础不好,建议先系统学习语法。 (2)错题总结:对于做完的题目,一定要总结其中的易错点和固定搭配。对于词汇量薄弱的同学来说,这也是个积累词汇和搭配的机会。 (3)计时练习:卡时间进行整套练习,可使用老托福题目。同样要进行错题总结。 3 托福ITP阅读部分 5.15开放报名的TOEFL疫情期间中国特供考试TOEFL ITP,形式为纸笔考试。阅读部分跟老托福十分接近。 1 基本信息-与新托福IBT对比: 考试名称ITP IBT 问题数量5030 考试时间55分钟54分钟 分数范围31-670-30 文章字数300-500词650-850词

托福独立写作中常见的审题误区 不要忽略关键词

托福独立写作中常见的审题误区不要忽略关键词 审题,是写作的第一步,却经常被大家所忽略。有太多考生只着眼于如何写出漂亮的句子和高级的词汇,而没有搞清写作的本质--考察学生针对某一话题进行准确连贯表述的能力。这也是为什么很多同学虽然英语不弱,在托福考试的独立部分中却只能拿到fai r或good 当中较低的4分。那么到底怎样才能更加容易地拿到独立写作的满分呢? 笔者今天将通过列举以往考过的真题进行解析,告诉大家如何审题,换句话说,如何使高分变得更加achievable。 同学们考写作考了这么多年,大多数出题的形式都已烂熟于心,看到题目之后觉得熟悉于是兴冲冲提笔就写,其实,这种看似"熟练"的表象下藏着巨大的隐患--同学们很有可能因为看得太快而忽略某个决定题目意思的关键词。例如: 例1: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Advertising is the only main caus e for people's unhealthy eating habits. 看到这个题目,同学们立刻会开始想,有没有other reasons for unhealthy habits,想出三条如:1. People's tight schedules do not allow them to eat at regular hours; 2. Sometimes people are eager to lose weight or to keep fit so that they go on "endless diets"; 3. Bearing heav y burden both physically and mentally, some consider eating constantly as their most effec tive stress reliever. 综上所述,advertising is not the only cause. 这个写法看起来非常完备,但其实犯了一个不起眼却严重的错误--题目不是要我们证明it is not the onl y cause,而是要我们去证明it is not the only main cause。多一个"main",意思是很不一样的。如果我们只需要证明it is not the only cause,那么找出other causes即可即例1中的写法。但是,如果我们要证明it is not the only main cause,就需要证明other causes that we mentioned are also main causes,这就需要在每一段中加上一些专门的说明。或者,更简单的办法是去证明advertisi ng is not even a cause, 直接在每段的末尾加上advertising与该段所论述的unhealthy eating habi t无关的论述即可。If it is not a cause, how can it be the onlymain cause? 这样一来,就不用通过证明还有其他main cause来反驳了,事实上,证明某种cause是main cause还是挺有难度的,因此笔者推荐同学们用后一种方式进行论述。因此,文章还是disagree,而三段的主题句分别应该是:1、1. People's tight schedules do not allow them to eat at regular hours, and it is obvious that they are too busy to be influenced by advertising; 2. Sometimes people are eager to lose weight or to keep fit so that they go on "endless diets", and this is more like a result of human nature, the pursuit of beauty, but not advertising; 3. Bearing heavy burden both ph ysically and mentally, some consider eating constantly as their most effective stress reliever, and it is quite clear that no advertising encourages them to do so. 雅思自由行

托福独立写作2种常见论点扣分错误解读

托福独立写作2种常见论点扣分错误 解读 托福独立写作因为论点问题而扣分的情况并不少见。大家习惯了*给出观点自己照着写的思路,面对某些需要自己树立论点来展开论述的题目就比较容易在*观点上扣分。下面就和大家分享托福独立写作2种常见论点扣分错误解读,希望能够帮助到大家,来欣赏一下吧。 托福独立写作2种常见论点扣分错误解读 托福独立写作观点扣分情况分析 在托福考试的两篇作文要求中,综合写作因为其*要求所以不存在观点方面的扣分,而独立写作由于需要更为完整的论述过程,因此对考生在提炼和展开*论点方面就由较高要求了。考生在论点上出问题的情况主要有以下两类: 1. 观点太空泛无法写全写透 相信看过一些托福写作指导经验类资料的考生都会发现,指导经验中经常会要求大家尽量树立一些比较具体细节的观点来写,这其实很好理解,因为越具体能写的东西就越多。太过抽象空泛的观点想要写好,论述得言之有理是比较困难的,而且经常

会出现论述不全面或是没有展开就结束的问题。考虑到托福写作的时间有限,观点树立得太空泛就相当于考生自己给自己挖坑,最后论述不到位缺乏说服力其实都是因为自己没有树立好观点。 举例来说,某篇作文的题目是关于移动电话对人类生活的影响。如果考生写出的是很宽泛的“移动电话对人类生活影响很大”,虽然之后看似可以写很多内容,但实际上是很容易写不到点子上的,因为能说的话太多大家反而不知道如何突出重点了。这种时候大家其实完全可以写移动电话对衣食住行中任意一点的影响。有了更为细节的内容,展开起来才会更加方便,考生也能根据自己的喜好给出更有说服力的论据,提升*内容的质量。 另一篇作文的题目是广告带给社会的干扰。既然是干扰当然应该有具体内容。如果观点只是说广告会产生负面影响那也有观点太空泛的嫌疑,之后具体要展开同样会不太好写。大家可以收缩一下观点,比如从广告的误导性来具体展开,是不是脑子里一下子就多出了很多例子有很多话想说了?想要让*内容更有干货,观点太过空泛是一定要避免的。 2. 论点太窄无法进一步展开 另一种比较常见的论点则与上面的情况正好相反,那就是论点太窄了。大家需要明白一点,一篇理想的高分独立写作*,考生不仅需要有主论点,也需要有分论点,2-3个中间段其实就是让大家在主论点的基础上拓展出多个分论点然后分段论述的。如
