托福写作技巧:变量型

为什么要写变量型文章?

什么样的文章适合写成变量型?

例：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Life today is easier and more comfortable than it was when your grandparents were children.

Structure

Due to the progress of technology, many things in daily life are much easier and more convenient than in the past.

However, progress does not only make our life easier, and it also makes surviving harder in many ways.

段落扩展示例

However, progress does not only make our life easier, and it also makes surviving harder in many cases.

Explanation

Examples and/or details

Explanation: Advanced technology allows people to live longer, so that an increasing population consumes the limited natural resources on this planet.

Examples and details: This gives raise to many problems like starvation, unemployment, and even wars for resources like water and petroleum. The recent wars in our world had many things to do with such resources and wars take away people’s lives and destroy happiness and hope. (To be continued)

Examples and details: Unfortunately, since our technology is not advanced enough to create resources, such conflicts are unlikely to be finished and they may become more serious in the future. Also, the increasing population makes our cities much more crowded than in the past, and graduates from colleges and universities have slimmer changes to get good jobs as well because there are too many of them but so limited positions. Such problems are all created by technological progress and people in the past did not need to face them at all.

真题解析

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? A job with a high salary but little vacation time is better than a job with a low salary but much vacation time.

Structure

Most young people and middle-aged people care much more about how much they earn than about the leisure time.

For aged people, the main purpose to have jobs is no longer to make money, and they may need more vacation time instead of higher salaries.

Paragraph Developing

Topic sentence: Young people are willing to sacrifice some or even all of their leisure time for more money because that they all wish to live a vivid life.

Sub point 1: desire for money

Sub point 2: sacrifice vacation time

Sub point 1: For most young people, money is needed everywhere. Boys are fascinated with the latest digital products and even automobiles, and girls are addicted to fashionable clothes and

makeups. Plus, they hang out with friends and have dinners with people at work frequently. That requires much expense as well. Without money, young people are unlikely to feel happy and satisfied.

Sub point 2: As for vacation time, young people really do not care about it very much, for they have many other choices to get relaxed or to have fun. They can get over and feel energetic again by having a good sleep at night, and they can watch movies or go shopping or play video games with friends after work.

Conclusion: That is why what they expect the most from their jobs is the income but not vacations.

Overexploitation

A species that faces overexploitation is one that may become severely endangered or even extinct due to the rate in which the species is being used. Unrestricted whaling during the 20th century is an example of overexploitation, and the whaling industry brought many species of whales to extremely low population sizes. When several whale species were nearly extinct, a number of nations (including the United States) agreed to abide by an international moratorium

on whaling. Due to this moratorium, some whale species, such as the grey whale, have made remarkable comebacks, while others remain threatened or endangered.

Due to the trade in animal parts, many species continue to suffer high rates of exploitation. Even today, there are demands for items such as rhino horns and tiger bones in several areas of Asia. It is here that there exists a strong market for traditional medicines made from these animal parts.

More Factors

Disease, pollution, and limited distribution are more factors that threaten various plant and animal species. If a species does not have the natural genetic protection against particular pathogens, an introduced disease can have severe effects on that specie. For example, rabies and canine distemper viruses are presently destroying carnivore populations in East Africa. Domestic animals often transmit the diseases that affect wild populations, demonstrating again how human activities lie at the root of most causes of endangerment. Pollution has seriously affected multiple terrestrial and aquatic species, and limited distributions are frequently a consequence of other threats; populations confined to few small areas due to of habitat loss, for example, may be disastrously affected by random factors.

(T44 travel with a companion or travel alone)

Travel Solo or with a Companion

Whether you should travel alone or with a group primarily depends upon your personality. I will briefly describe each option, listing the pros and cons, to help you decide which travel style is the best for you.

Traveling Solo

Pros:

Meet and interact with more people

Going where you want to go, when you want to go, with whomever you want to go with Allows you to find your own travel techniques (as opposed to going with a tour group)

Forces you to assert your independence

Cons:

Traveling alone can be intimidating(吓人的,令人生畏的)

Must overcome any shyness you may have in order to meet other people

Deciding where you want to go and what to do once you are there requires more effort on your part than letting someone else make all or most of the decisions

Forces you to assert your independence (this can be either a pro or a con depending on whether or not you think being independent is: (1) important and (2) possible for your level of emotional growth)

FYI: I traveled solo during my three month trip to Europe and I had an excellent time. I wouldn't want to travel any other way. Keep in mind that this advice is coming from someone who is relatively shy and had never traveled anywhere alone before going to Europe.

Traveling with a companion or companions

Pros:

You always have someone to talk to/consult with

You can share food, clothing, toiletries, accommodations, etc. (saving room in your pack and sometimes money)

You will have someone to share your memories with (and take your picture in front of the Eiffel Tower)

You may forge a life long friendship/friendships with your travel companion(s)

Cons:

Being with the same person/people 24/7 can be very annoying (you could lose your friendship over this)

Depending on someone else can be risky--people can flake out on you (take all your money, abandon you, etc.)

Memories of your trip may turn out to be nightmares (constant fighting over where to go and what to see, etc.)

Traveling as group may make it more difficult to meet other people because groups tend to be prone to exclusivity and can be intimidating to other travelers

(T45 get up early in the morning and start the day's work, or get up later in the day and work until late at night)

It is well to be up before daybreak, for such habits contribute to health, wealth, and wisdom. (Aristotle)

Early riser早起的人

Why get up early?

I’d say the main reason is that you’ll have a lot more time to do things that are more interesting than sleeping.

Again, I’ve gained about 10-15 hours per week doing this. That extra time is very noticeable. By 6:30am, I’ve already exercised, showered, had breakfast, and I’m at my desk ready to go to work. I can put in a lot of hours each day of productive work, and I’m usually done with work by 5:00 pm (and that includes personal “work” like email, paying bills, picking up daughter from preschool, etc). This gives me 5-6 hours of discretionary time every evening for family, leisure activities, Toastmasters, reading, journaling, etc. And best of all, I still have energy during this

time. Having time for everything that’s important to me makes me feel very balanced, relaxed, and optimistic.

Think about what you could do with that extra time. Even an extra 30 minutes per day is enough to exercise daily, read a book or two each month, maintain a blog, meditate daily, cook healthy food, learn a musical instrument, etc. A small amount of extra time each day adds up

to significant amounts over the course of a year. 30 minutes a day is 182.5 hours in a year. That’s more than a month of working full-time (40 hours per week). Double it if you save 60 minutes a day, and triple it if you save 90 minutes a day. For me the savings was about 90 minutes/day. That’s like getting a free bonus year every decade. I’m using this time to do things that I previously didn’t have the time and energy to do. It’s wonderful.

46开头可以些：The funny thing is that people overemphasize which qualities a parent should have and how to define a good parent; at the same time, however, we overlook the issue of children, including the good qualities that a son or a daughter should have. In this essay, I will discuss some of the virtues a child must have.

47在大公司工作的好处: (1)working on a large job; (2)enjoying a good opportunity to learn constantly(Because the company is so large, I have the opportunity to work on several different types of projects with different equipment requirements – I am constantly learning on the job.)

(3) flexible time scheduling, less gossips, free working environment; (4) diversity.

(T51 taking risks or chances VS careful planning)

Risk: You may worry about the risks of investing, but the real risk is that you will outlive your money.

Two kinds of financial risks are:
