浅谈托福独立写作的三大误区

备考托福独立写作时,很多考生由于轻信网络上的传言,陷入了很多误区,走了很多弯路。本文笔者将从词、句、篇三个方面来帮助考生清除托福独立写作的常见误区,以便更好地应对托福独立写作考试。

误区一:用词一定要很高级、很复杂

作为一种语言测试,托福考试的重点是检测考生的英语语言水平。因此,能够写出正确、流畅的语言是考生获得托福写作单项高分的必备条件。在《新托福考试官方指南》第四版(以下简称OG)中,对于托福独立写作语言运用方面的要求是这样的:“Language use is the third criterion on which your essay will be judged. To get a top score,an essay must display ‘consistent facility in the use of language.’There should be a variety of sentence structures,and word choice should be appropriate.”可以看出,托福独立写作对于考生写作的总体要求是consistent facility in the use of language (语言运用和谐流畅),给出的具体建议是a variety of sentence structures (句子结构多样)和word choice should be appropriate (措辞应贴切得体)。那么怎样的措辞才算贴切得体呢?是一定要用很高级、很复杂的词才行吗?

我们先来看OG第336页给出的一篇满分作文的第二段和第三段:

Most young adults prefer to have a separate or independent life from their parents or families as soon as possible. This is because they have a strong urge for freedom in doing what they desire. But in fact many of them fail. This should not be surprising since often they are actually not ready mentally although they are physically ready. It is widely understood that to live independently requires a lot of energy and is not easy at all. In this twenty first century,people may need more and more preparation because competition is increasing rapidly. An observation shows that many University graduated students are unemployed. Therefore,they will not be able to support and fulfill their necessities.

So living independently at an early age is not suitable for all young adults,some young adults may need to take more time to prepare themselves before going out to struggle. Young adults need to be ready to support themselves. Taking time to get more education and living with their families for a longer time may lead them to a better independent life because they will be well prepared for the hard-life outside. Still,living with their families for too long will not be a good idea because they

could get used to it and tend to be less independent.

?τ谡馄?作文,阅卷者(human rater)是这样评价的:“This well developed essay meets all the criteria for earning a score of 5. The writer develops the topic through a detailed discussion of independence and of the suitability of living independently. The essay is unified and coherent. Sentence structure is varied,especially in paragraphs 2 and 3. The writer does not use high-level vocabulary,but word choice is correct throughout. There are minor errors (“University graduated students,”“fulfill their necessities”),but these in no way interrupt the flow or meaning of the essay.”我们再来看美国教育考试服务中心(ETS)给出的官方研究结果(如下表所示):

为便于研究,ETS的研究人员将托福独立写作总分按4

分计算(实际总分为5分)。从上表中数据可以看出,高分

作文和低分作文在最常用词汇(GSL)和学术词汇(AWL)的用词占比并没有相差多少。当然,高分作文的学术词汇占比会相对高一点,但也并非全文使用高级、复杂的学术词汇。由此可见,并不是用词越高级、越复杂,才能在托福独立写作中得高分。

那么,考生在托福独立写作中到底该如何用词呢?首先,

考生要了解常用的英文词汇分几类。根据不同的语体风格,常用词汇可分成三类:正式的(formal)、一般的(common)、非正式的(informal)。正式的词也可称作学术性的词、文雅的词或“大”词,这类词往往有三个以上的音节,如下面这段话中加粗的词汇:“There is nothing new in the recognition,within a given language,of a distinction between common usage and uses of the language for more restricted purposes

and often enough,perhaps characteristically,more elevated purposes.”但这段话中的大多数词都是十分常用并在多种文体中出现的,这些词被称为一般词汇。这两类词都可用于书面写作中。还有一类词主要用于非正式的、不讲究客套的谈话中,很少出现在正式的文章里,如guts (胆量)、guy (男人)、hassle (麻烦)等,这类词一般都很短,只有一、两

个音节,被称为非正式词汇。此外,俚语也是很不正式的表达,如kick the bucket (去世)等,在书面写作中也应该避免。

对于OG中要求的“措辞贴切得体”,如何才能做到呢?对此,大多数考生都有一个误解,以为必须大量使用托福甚至GRE词汇表中的高级难词和复杂词。当然,考生如果能正确使用这些词汇固然好,但对于大多数考生来说,很多人仅仅是认识这些词汇,但对于其搭配及感情色彩并不是很清楚。其实,在托福独立写作的评卷中,阅卷者一方面会考虑考生

所使用的词汇的长度和复杂度(word length and sophistication of word choice),另一方面会将考生所使用的词汇表达与语料库中不同等级的文章进行比较(score assigned to essays with similar vocabulary,similarity to essays receiving highest score),从而大致判定考生的文字语言水平。因此,考生在平时备考期间应多去积累高分范文中的词汇表达,这对于提升考生自己的语言水平有很大的帮助。实际上,考生如果能正确、熟练、恰当地使用大学英语四级水平的词汇,就已经能在写作中很好地表达自己的意思了。比如,如果要表达“生活中有很多这样的例子”,大多数考生的第一反应是:“There are many similar examples in our daily life.”这句话在表达上没有错误,但考生如果能用四级常用词汇abound

对其进行改写,就能使表达更加正式、地道,如:“Life abounds with such examples.”

误区二:句子越长越好

笔者在给一些已经准备过一段时间托福写作的考生上

课时发现,他们经常在写作中大量使用很长、很长的长句。当笔者建议他们把一些句子断开时,他们就会振振有词地说:“XX说过,托福写作句子越长越容易得高分!”这种说法倒

也有其“合理”之处。目前托福写作是电子阅卷和人工阅卷(二者审核角度基本相符)共同参与评分,最终取加权平均值。由于电子评分系统(e-rater)读不懂考生的文章内容,

所以在针对Development (展开论点)这一维度进行评价时,会通过话语元素的长度(the length of discourse elements)?M 行衡量,其中,句子的平均长度便是参考标准之一。也就是说,在e-rater眼中,如果一位考生句子写得太短,那就说明该考生没能表达出什么内容,因此也就没有展开论点。所以在阅卷中,无论是human rater还是e-rater都不希望看到考生写出大量太短的句子。

那么这是否说明句子写得越长越好呢?当然不是。各位考生可能都有过这样的体验:朋友圈里某人发了一段不加标点的文字,读完简直累死宝宝了。其实写作也一样,即使句子中间有逗号,但是太长的句子仍会影响读者的理解,这也是为什么句子长度是文章可读性的其中一个指标。根据OG 第608页关于Too Many Long Sentences的说明,官方建议的平均句子长度是15~20词左右(the average sentence length should be between 15 and 20 words),这样更便于读者理解(this length allows your reader to absorb your ideas more easily)。

另外,需要考生注意的是,有时句子写得过长反而会影响意思的表达,尤其是为了写长句而写长句。一起来看OG 第608页给出的例句。

a. Benjamin Franklin,who was one of America’s “founding fathers,”helped write the Declaration of

Independence. He also invented many things such as bifocals and the Franklin stove,and he discovered electricity,which became important to modern life. b. Benjamin Franklin,who was one of America’s “founding fathers,”helped write the Declaration of Independence. He also invented many things such as bifocals and the Franklin stove,and he discovered electricity. Think about that discovery. Where would we be without electricity?

考生通过对比上述例句可以看出,a句使用了一连串长句,比较繁冗,可读性不强,导致句意不够清晰。而b句将长短句结合起来,使得表达更为简明,句意清晰,句子也更富于节奏感。由此可见,在写作时,考生可以用不同长度的句子来表达不同的意思,同时注意长短句结合使用(mix long sentences with short ones)。正如OG中??道的:“A good combination of long and short sentences makes writing lively.”

误区三:字数越多,得分越高

笔者接触托福的第一天,就被“前辈”告知:托福独立写作字数越多,越容易得高分。直至今日,当笔者在教学中纠正考生开头段的废话时,考生还会大喊:“这样字数不就

减少了吗?我还怎么得高分?”那么,托福独立写作的分数真的与字数直接相关吗?

从电子阅卷的角度来看,发展段的句子数量确实是评价

的标准之一,因为考生如果没有展开论点,没写出什么内容,自然不会有太多的句子进行支撑,文章的字数也就不会多,分数也不会高。但这是不是意味着字数多,得分就一定会高呢?

对此,ETS也做过相关研究,其中一篇研究论文表明,高分作文的字数往往在400词左右,而非传说中的600词。而且,即使文章字数增多,分数也并不会上升。另一份研究报告表明,托福独立写作满分作文的平均字数只有385.3个词,而低分档的文章中也有超过500词的。由此可见,托福独立写作并非字数越多,得分越高。

总的来说,在托福独立写作中,除了文章结构(这一点大多数考生只要接受过正规培训基本都没问题)和语言的正确使用之外,文章的具体内容往往决定着考生的分数。一篇内容充实的文章往往能够得高分,同时,内容充实的文章字数一般也不会太少。因此,考生不必过于纠结字数的问题,只要有扎实的英语基本功,认真备考,写作时做到言之有物,自然就能得到一个不错的分数。

托福独立写作常用词汇disadvantage使用语法搭配细节实例讲解

托福独立写作常用词汇disadvantage使用语法搭配细节实 例讲解 托福独立写作因为其立论文的写作要求,所以某些特定词汇的使用频率会变得很高。下面就和大家分享托福独立写作常用词汇disadvantage使用语法搭配细节实例讲解,希望能够帮助到大家,来欣赏一下吧。 托福独立写作常用词汇disadvantage使用语法搭配细节实例讲解 托福独立写作常用词汇disadvantage定义分析 想要用好一个词汇,大家要做的第一件事是了解这个词汇的准确定义,disadvantage的定义是a quality or condition that puts something or someone in an unfavorable or inferior position compared to others. 这里需要注意的是compared to others这个细节部分,也就是说这个词是用来对比的,换句话说,很多时候所谓的disadvantage其实都是相对而说的,如果没有对比对象,那么这个词汇也是不能随意使用的,它和shortcome还是存在一定区别的。

托福独立写作常用词disadvantage搭配用法实例精讲 1. disadvantage of sth. 这个用法应该是disadvantage比较常见的一个用法了,也就是某件事的缺点坏处,来看下面这些例句: a. The disadvantage of living in the countryside is the poor quality of education. b. One disadvantage of living in the countryside is the poor quality of education. c. One of the disadvantages of living in the countryside is the poor quality of education. 需要注意的是,disadvantage of sth.的用法最好用在句首部分,如果是虚词结构(expletive construction)的句式比如There is/are之类的句子,就不要再直接接上disadvantage of sth.了,否则这种句子读上去很不自然,一般老外是不会这么写的,比如下面这几个句子,中国考生可能看不出什么问题,但老外考官读起来说不定就不太舒服了: a. There are many disadvantages to living in the countryside. b. There are many disadvantages in living in the countryside. 2. at a disadvantage

托福写作辅导:托福考试满分作文欣赏(1) Which one do you prefer, to solve problems on your own experience and knowledge, or to ask others for advice? As knowledge and experience serve as twim towers in problem-solving, one is often presented with two major paths that pave the way for final fulfillment, eitther to wrack his brain, just like what happened to Neuton, siiting for many years under an apple tree and eventually figuring out ond of the greatest universal rules that govern the whole globe, or to seek for others ’ widsom through their advice, just as in the case of Benjinin Franklin, gathering great minds under one roof and then establishing a most world-renown libray. Both ways work. When a practical goal is involved, however, Benjimin Franklin may best be regareded as a role model in this respect and asking people for advice often turn out to be the prime alternative. Experience and knowledge borrowed or learned from others’ advice contribute greatly to effectiveness and effeciency for a goal-accomplishment. Not all experience and knowledge related to problem-solving can be obtained by personal effort alone due to limitations of mind and capabilities of each individual. A single thought in someone’s mind is, more often than not, far less shining compared with group ’s wisdom. That explains the famous old saying that one sees further when standing upon the shoulders’ of past great giants; that explains why a great leader is always with greater minds; that also explains why teamwork in corperation is highly emphasized in the 21st century. Brainstorm and exchange of ideas between different thoughts never fail to enhance capabilities of each individula involved, a team, a company, an institution, a country, or even the entire global village. Asking others’ advice instead of getting everything done on one’s own promotes democracy and communication too. In terms of democracy, it is necessary to give others rights and chances to speak since the problem may concern them in different ways, and their saying in turn reflects our respect toward freedom of speech as well as their wisdom. In terms of communication, idea exchange sometimes focuses more than solutions, and hereby better mutual understanding about perspectives, principles, praticalities and personalities of each other. Admittely turning to others for help and suggestion by no means refers to absolute and irresponsible dependence. Consideration upon different thoughts and ideas broadens our mind, enlarges our vision, furthers understanding, enhances more effective and efficient brainstorm, and stresses mutual respect in groups and communities, which undoubtedly gives rise to better, if not the best solutions. As is paraphrasedfrom John F Kenedy, brainstormed, there is little we cannot do while divided, there is little we can do. 托福写作辅导:托福考试满分作文欣赏(2) Case of Benjinin Franklin, gathering great minds under one roof and then establishing a most world-renown libray.

新托福独立写作21类题目

新托福独立写作21类题目 1.体育类: 2008.11.14—Children should only play sports for fun rather than play sports in competitions or contests. (Education) 孩子们应该为了乐趣而去参加体育活动而不是为了竞争或者比赛。 体育在现代生活的重要性有: 1.体育可以在身体得到锻炼,使身体素质得到提高; 2.体育活动让朋友和家人聚集一起参加锻炼,有社会意义,是一种积极的休闲和团体活动; 3.体育可以调节生活,让人们获得心理上的健康和快乐,更好的缓解压力; 4.体育可以提高人的意志和韧性; 5.体育是一个大的产业,给国家带来收入; 6.体育体现了人类社会的精神,可以促进世界和平。 体育运动的优点: 1.增加体质(increase physical strength),有益于身心健康; 2.加快脂肪燃烧(accelaerate fat burning),有助于减肥(lose weight); 3.有助于保持体形(stay in shape),提高自我的形象(improve self image); 4.有助于缓解压力(relieve stress),调节心情(improve mood),减少失落的情绪(reduce the chance of depression); 5.有助于保持旺盛的精力(keep energetic),从而提高工作效率(increase productivity)。 孩子参加体育项目是为了获得快乐:因为体育活动可以让他们得到精神上的放松,可以是他们和朋友交流的一种方式; 而获得乐趣并不是体育活动的唯一目的,参加比赛也是一种目的,因为比赛获胜可以让他们获得一种成就感,输了可以学会逆境成长的精神。 2008.12.5—Sports teaches us lessons about life. 运动教会我们一些生活道理 运动教会我们要养成健康的生活方式和积极的人生态度; 体育比赛告诉我们竞争是生活的一部分,但友谊同样重要; 团队运动教给人们要合作,在生活中和工作中也要学会合作,这样做事情才会能有效率,比如,在足球篮球比赛中,你不能时时都争着进球,要注意合作才能获得更高的分数,一个全都是优秀球员的球队并不一定能给打败一个球员很平庸但是合作的很好的球队,在生活上也是如此,我们不必事事争第一,和别人合作往往能达到共赢的目的。 棋类运动教给我们许多生活道理,比如我们下棋的时候必须瞻前顾后,考虑很多步,生活上也是,凡事三思而后行 2.专业知识类: 2006.11.19—It is more important to choose a subject of your interest than to choose subjects which prepare you for a job or a career.(Education) 选自己感兴趣的学科比选有前途的学科更重要(支持该观点) 中间段写作思路: (一)Reason 1: 因果链接:资源有限—竞争激烈—压力大—就业压力—就业竞争中脱颖而出—有前途的专业(举例) 首先:学习对于未来的职业有用的学科之后才能更容易找到工作。当代社会每个人都渴望取得成功,但是资源是有限的,所以竞争激烈,每个人承受的压力都很大,其中大学生面临的最现实的问题就是就业问题。

托福独立写作范文_1让步型

托福独立写作高分范文 1 ●让步型 2012/2/25 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Two people can become gooe friends enen if one of them has more money than the other. Generally, I disagree with the statement that two people can be friends if one is richer than the other. In many TV, plays and movies, there is often the story of a poor boy and a rich girl eventually becoming friends. However, their fairytales only ever happen in fiction. In the reality, this never happens because rich and poor people have very different goals in life and very different lifestyles. To begin with, different goals in life between the rich and the poor are a vital barrier for them to become friends. Even from the beginning of their lives, they undertake different missions. Po or people’s goal in life is mostly to lead a decent life, and to be able to buy things such as a comfortable house and a functional car. However, rich people’s goal in life is to continue their parents’ business. For example, disadvantaged people are fight ing for survival in the cutting-throat competition of this society, such as paying the mortgage and the credit card, while rich people have to think about how to expand their family business in other countries. So they are not living in the same world and do not bear the same chance to know each other, let alone become friends. Second, the different ways of living prevent the friendship from taking shape between them. On this point, poor people will definitely repel rich people because they feel less confident. For example, when they finish their jobs, what can poor people afford to do every day is to simply go back home and be with their family members. Rich people, on the other hand, have many different choices in how to spend their free time. For instance, rich people can go to gulf club to enjoy the fresh air and indulge themselves in equestrian event or racecourse. Therefore, talking about the similar lifestyle which paves the road of friendship, these two groups of people are speaking different language. Admittedly, exceptions do exist in some special aspects. Basketball players serve as good examples. In NBA, about 50 percent of players were born in slums.
