李笑来TOEFL高分英语作文-002

Are parents the best teachers?Obviously, in most cases the earliest teachers people have are their parents, and parents are generally most concerned about the development of their children. However, it is not completely true to say that parents are the best teachers.显而易见,很多时候人们最早的老师是他们的父母,父母通常是最关心孩子的发展的。

然而,说父母是最好的老师并不完全正确。

First of all, not all parents are good teachers. As normal individuals, parents more or less have some bad habits. Even though parents almost instinctively devote themselves to cultivating their offspring, the outcome might turn out to be disappointment, for all children tend to unconsciously or subconsciously copy everything including the bad ones from their parents. Another decificiency of parents as teachers is the fact that most parents are lack of common senses of education. All too often we observe some parents tend to pursue their cherished but failed dream by forcing their children to develop in a prearranged direction. Ironically, when their children do not follow the instruction, the children will be regarded as disobedient or allegedly rebellious. In fact, it is parents rather than their children that virtually disobey common senses.首先,并不是所有的父母都是好老师。

7月托福考试攻略:改革不用慌!写作新题型Discussion Board全解析!7月托福考试攻略:改革不用慌!写作新题型Discussion Board 全解析!7月托福考试攻略:改革不用慌!写作新题型DiscussionBoard 全解析!托福改革不用慌!写作新题型DiscussionBoard全解析近期网传托福将于今年7月迎来重大改革,就目前的消息来看,新版托福考试将会对考试内容进行精简,显著降低考生的体力消耗。

目前网传托福改革的要点如下:据传官方将于4月11日正式官宣,新版托福将于7月26日上线。

最新消息:目前托福考试官方视频号上在4月11日确实有一场直播,主题是2023年托福iBT考试全新升级发布会。

这就直接证明了之前的网传的改革消息是几乎板上定钉的事儿了,只是改革细节是否如网传所说,咱们还要拭目以待当天的直播~就网传内容来看,这次所谓的托福改革除了取消加试和删减一篇托福阅读之外,最大的变化就是写作部分。

所以接下来着重对写作部分的变化做下分析。

当前写作是综合写作+独立写作两个部分组成,共计55mins,据网传的改版方向,之后会保留综合写作的部分,但是独立写作会变成学术性讨论题(discussionboardquestion),这个题型其实来源于TOEFLEssentials。

以下表格主要是展现独立写作和学术性讨论题之间的差异。

写作新题型样题一,先看油管大神给的例题。

1.先分析题干要求Thetest-takermustreadthequestionpostedbytheprofessorandth etwostudentresponses.Finally,theyshouldwritetheirownresponsewhichaddressesthequestionanda ddstotheconversation.教授抛出1个debate,提问大家的立场。

接着两个npc学生作为正反方,给出各自的观点。

托福写作评分标准

托福写作评分标准

托福写作评分标准托福写作评分包括机器评分以及人工评分两部分:机器评分E-rater- 语法是否正确、用词是否得当、以及单词拼写及大小写是否准确等方面, 一篇考生的文章会经过两台机器评分.人工评分通过ETS阅卷人评分,综合写作和独立写作分别有两位阅卷人给出分数.托福写作原始分数为0-5分,考生得分分为三个levelGOOD4.0-5.0,FAIR2.5-3.5,LIMITED1.0-2.0最终成绩通过两个科目的分数取平均分,再换算为30分制的分数.详解托福综合写作的评分细则综合写作是托福写作板块中的其中一项.托福考试的写作部分分为综合Integrated writing和独立Independent writing两块,这两块分别独立评分,取平均值后得到最终的分数.也就是说,这两个部分各占一半权重,因此应给予相同程度的重视.这两部分的了解,强烈建议同学们自己去看看ETS出版的托福考试官方指南OG,OG里面对于考试形式和评分标准有非常详尽的介绍,有些同学在准备输出端考试写作或者口语的时候,居然连评分细则都不看,仅凭自己的主观臆测和对于老师讲解的依稀记忆去打造自己的文章,考不好真的不奇怪.下面,我们就来分析一下托福考试的评分细则.综合写作的满分要求是:A response at this level successfully selects the important information from the lectu5分:文章切题,阐说充分,文章有说服力;段落组织有序,衔接紧密,过渡自然,有很强的逻辑性;段落内句与句连接顺畅,句式使用恰当,灵活,娴熟;用词确切,得体.文章中有个别语法拼写错误,但不影响内容表达.4分:文章切题,阐说基本充分,在某些细节上有缺陷.段落层次组织有序,衔接紧密,过渡自然,逻辑性强;句间连接顺畅,句式使用恰当,灵活;用词基本得体.文章中有少量用词不当和语法拼写错误.3分:文章切题,阐说尚可,展开不够.段落层次组织有序,衔接紧密,过渡自然,有逻辑性;句间连接基本顺畅;有部分句法错误;用词一般,有时不得体.词性区分和拼写等有若干错误2分:文章切题,段落组织基本合理,有逻辑性,但只存在于语义层次上,语言表达上未能体现;句子框架结构基本成立,但有许多语法错误,句间联系不顺畅,往往是不善于使用逻辑连词,显得幼稚,生硬.词汇方面拼写错误多,常有用词不得体现象.1分:文章切题.阐说没有展开,只限于三言两语地回答问题;没有段落组织,很乱,长度很短,只有一段;句子排列有一定的逻辑关系,能看出各句基本框架,但结构或语法错误较多;用词不得体,拼写错误多.0分:文章各方面都有严重错误,句子不像句子.总体印象是根本没有写作能力,英语水平太低,达不到一分标准,只能打最低分.托福写作的四大官方评分标准新托福写作独立写作评分标准1: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”.新托福写作独立写作评分标准2: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,不能空洞和泛泛而谈.新托福考试独立写作评分标准3: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.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.新托福写作独立写作评分标准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.如果想在作文上花的时间既少又要拿高分,尤其是想拿到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 notleast. 不少同学花了很多功夫背这一外国人都不用的词组,考生在能用常用的词的情况下千万不要用偏词.电脑评分主要关注作文的哪些方面呢通过对ETS官方的一些文件进行阅读分析,我们不难发现E-raters对写作的以下几个信息点非常关注:新托福写作批改一:语法得分GrammarETS工作人员可以事前通过电脑程序输入写作中不同难度的语法现象及常犯的语法错误事例,因而对于考生的任何一篇文章电脑可以自动识别该习作是否犯了类似的语法错误及其是否使用了较为高级的语法现象.具体来讲,语法能力考查涵盖以下几点:动词使用是否错误、代词指代是否不明、物主代词是否使用正确、主谓是否一致、是否存在不完整句、是否存在粘连句等.毋庸置疑,电脑对于如上语法的判断要比人为操作更为严谨、准确.因为写作是依赖键盘操作,故需要对句子完整性和粘连现象进行评定.但依据笔者的经验,很多考生在短短30分钟是难以达到“语法完美”的程度的,但是他们的作文得分并不低.由此可见,虽然E-raters关注写作的语法得分,但是其重要性位阶是低于ETS 的评分原则的.新托福写作批改二:内容表达载体得分usage score该考查点主要关注学生能否用“较为正式的文体”来阐述自己的观点以及单词本身是否使用恰当.该评价并不关注内容是否全面、论证是否有效,而仅仅关注表达文章信息的载体语言是否满足以下几点:表达中冠词是否出现错误、是否使用不准确的词汇、单词使用形式错误排除拼写、比较信息表达错误、表达信息偏向口语或者不正式.这些信息点的测试也是通过ETS官方人员事先输入相应程序来实现的.通过电脑评价,这些缺憾更容易被识别,因为个人的主观见解在评分中是容易出现偏差的.但是这里需要提醒一点:我们不能把这些考点的重要性过于夸大,过于苛求我们的学生在托福作文考试中做到正式文体加正式的表达.根据赵质明校长的教学经验,虽然很多学生在托福作文中使用了诸如“let me take an example of myself”, “okay, that’s very amusing”之类非正式的语言,但是其习作依旧有可能获得满分的成绩.新托福写作批改三:文章文体得分mechanic score这个评分主要考查学生是否能够正确的使用英语的标点符号,是否能够满足基本的写作文体要求.具体来讲有如下几点:单词拼写、大写表达是否恰当、标点符号使用是否正确、正确的合成词使用等.一般而言,人为的评价方式对如以上项目的考查和电脑评分无异,差别并不大.由此可见,新的评分方式中加入电脑审查只不过是再次核实人为评价是否可靠、科学.新托福写作批改四:文章语言风格得分style score这是从表达载体的宏观角度全面衡量一篇文章的语言风格,比如:被动语态的使用、某些单词的重复现象、单词或者表达信息使用不恰当、是否频繁使用短句或者长句等.这也就是赵质明校长上课常常给学生讲的“word and sentence variety”.这一点托福考试的关注度要远远重于能力类的考试科目.当然,这也是很多考生最难以胜任的一项.根据笔者的教学经验,很多学生虽然有好的构思和充实的论据,但是由于文章表达方式没有符合托福必备语言风格要求的能力,其独立写作仅仅只有3分.新托福写作批改五:文章组织架构得分organization讲的通俗一点,组织架构重点考查文章某段话内信息是否衔接得当,段落之间是否逻辑清晰,不存在重复论述的现象.也就是说,文章要让读者看起来“顺畅,不产生疑惑”.这一点正是托福考试评价原则中“coherence”的体现.此外,组织结构得分还要求考生的托福作文符合一般的论文结构,即文章有总论点、分论点及分论点展开等等.这就要求我们考生的文章结构要清晰,论点逻辑关系严谨,字数要基本符合考试要求.新托福写作批改六:文章论述观点展开度评价development我相信写作老师一定对development 这个能力不陌生.无论是哪一类国外考试写作部分都涵盖了对文章观点展开详细程度的考查.而这一点恰恰也是汉语文章思维和英语的最大差异之一.汉语的句子之间类似于平行结构,而英语是树状的展开架构.如果套用汉语的思维来完成托福写作,那么文章逻辑是呈跳跃式发展的,故考官读起来会比较费力气.此外,这里还存在一个问题:根据对官方文件的阅读,我们可以看到电脑评分对文章展开的审查力度是有缺憾的.电脑主要是通过对段落内部的逻辑信息表达来判断.也就是说,即使这位考生在观点后附加了评价性语言或者使用了较为充分全面的例子,但是电脑E-raters是不能判断该例证或者因果分析是否符合托福写作之“统一性”原则,即缺乏对文章信息逻辑联系是否合理、严谨的审查能力.比如学生在托福作文中出现如下类似的表达:因为我父亲在家,所以我很爱他,电脑是不能自行进行纠正的.故我们不难看出为什么ETS依旧不愿意完全舍弃主观人为因素在评阅中的积极作用.新托福写作批改七:语言表达难度等级评价lexical complexity一篇好的文章不仅其论述手段过人,而且语言的载体功能完美地符合论文一般性要求.所以对于考生的表达词汇难度进行评价是应有之义.简而言之,如果考生能够在文章中展现自己对词汇较为高级的驾驭能力,那么他就有可能获得较高的作文分数.比如big 和enormous两种表达,后者的难度系数要大于前者.当然,我在这里需要澄清一个误区:单词量越大,作文分数越高.在托福考试的考查原则中有一项叫做“无歧视原则”,即“托福考试中不能因为某类学生对相关学科有所了解而使得他在考试中具备有内容意义上的优势.”或者说托福考试不希望看到学生故意地在炫耀自己的词汇量.所以,我希望在教学一线的老师们不要把语言类的模板直接授予学生,这样学生就不能真正的领略什么是写作,就缺乏用自己已有的语言来写出一篇符合托福评分标准文章的意识.笔者曾经教授过一名高中生,他的单词量并不大,但是由于其文章符合评价体系最后是4分.所以我不建议考生或者是我的同事在写作课上故意炫耀自己的词汇量.当然,应对托福写作,考生应该至少具备大学四级水平的词汇量 .新托福写作批改八:分论点表达能力评价specific-topic vocabulary usage这是从微观角度来衡量考生能否将其分论点阐释清晰、语言得当的标准.可以这么讲,该评价体系是对organization的细化表达,要求考生对某一个分论点进行详细的论述.需要注意一点的是:托福作文电脑评分中仅仅从单词的使用角度来考查,而没有对文章内部展开的逻辑进行验证.其原因主要是文章展开能力评测可以实现,故这里不再赘述.。

托福TPO2综合写作及写作材料

托福TPO2综合写作及写作材料

托福TPO2综合写作及写作材料托福TPO2综合写作范文及写作材料托福综合写作是要求考生根据一段阅读材料和一段听力材料来写的。

下面是店铺整理的托福TOP2综合写作范文及材料,希望能帮到大家!托福TOP2综合写作范文The lecturer talks about research conducted by a firm that used the group system to handle their work. He says that the theory stated in the passage was very different and somewhat inaccurate when compared to what happened in reality.First, some members got free rides. That is, some didn’t work hard but got recognition for the success nonetheless. This also indicates that people who worked hard were not given recognition they should have gotten. In other words, they weren’t given the opportunity to “shine”. This directly contradicts what the passage indicates.Second, groups were slow in progress. The passage says that groups are more responsive than individuals because of the number of people involved and their aggregated resources. However, the speaker talks about how the firm found out that groups were slower than individuals in decision making. Groups needed more time for meetings, which are necessary procedures in decision making. This was another place where experience contradicted theory.Third, influential people might emerge and lead the group towards glory or failure. If the influent people are going in the right direction there would be no problem. But in cases where they go in the wrong direction, there is nobody that has enough influence to counter the decision made. In other words, thegroup might turn into a dictatorship, with the influential party as the leader, and might become less flexible in its thinking. They might become one-sided, and thus fail to succeed.Rating annotation:Once you can read past what seem to be the results of poor typing, this Benchmark 5 does an excellent job of presenting the points about the contribution and recognition of group members as well as about speed of group decisions. The final paragraph contains one noticeable error (“influent”), which is then used correctly two sentences later (“influential”). Overall, this is a successful response and scored within (though perhaps not at the top of) the 5 level.阅读材料:In many organizations, perhaps the best way to approach certain new projects is to assemble a group of people into a team. Having a team of people attack a project offers several advantages.在很多机构里,恰当完成一个新项目的最好方法可能是把一组人组织成一个团队。

Topic: some intensive English Programs in the United States offer a foreign Student the option of living with an American family while he or she is studying abroad. Many students feel that such a home-stay program is a valuable part of their totle learning experience. however, others may feel that such a plan offers little value. in a short essay, discuss one or two advantages of living with an American family and then state one or two diadvantages. Tell whether youare in favor of or opposed to the idea of home-stay. give examples to support your opinion.
My poinion about this subject is that it depends in (on) your level of comprehension regatd(regarding) conversational English. In other words, if you understand a considerable amount of english language(English), your best bet would be to choose living with an American family.

托福作文批改:你是否同意政府应该更多支持艺术家-

托福作文批改:你是否同意政府应该更多支持艺术家?托福写作批改前:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The government should support artists rather than allow them to support themselves.Nowadays, some people claim that the governmentshould support artists instead of themselves. However, I think this statementcannot be beneficial to both artists and the whole society due to the pointsbelow.First of all, the assistance from theadministrators may restrict the freedom of artists. The reason is that whenartists get financial help from the government, they become the governmentemployees to some extent, which means they have to work for the government. Ifthe government needs to advocate its policies, it will try to exploit artists.Meanwhile, in order to continue getting funding from the government, artistshave to obey the instructions from the government and abandon the freedom ofcreating the works they want to create.In addition, support for artists is notfair to the society, since the artist is just a kind of occupation no otherthan the architecture, the entrepreneur or the worker in factories. If one kindof vocation can get help from the government, as far as fairness concerned, allkinds of careers should get assistance, too. However, if the truth is that theentrepreneur is striving for managing his or her enterprise but the artist caneasily get money without hard work, this phenomenon would certainly have apessimistic influence on the society and students who are determining theirfuture careers.Last but not least, permitting artists tosupport themselves can propel the competition in the art field. In order tosurvive, artists have to think hard about how to appeal audiences or theirpotential consumers so that they may struggle to show their skills and featuresto defeat other artists. In consequence, more unique works will be created andart will thrive over years.All in all, admitting artists to supportthemselves has many benefits that government support does not have and that isthe reason why I strongly believe artists should make a living on their owninstead of depending on the government.点课台写作批改后:Nowadays, some people claim that the government should support artists instead of themselves.

TOEFL作文评改(二)To Build a Community Shopping Center– NOI. EssayTopic:It has recently been announced that a large shopping center may be built in your neighborhood. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.This problem is a much-debated one that it affects everyone in their daily lives. (This issue is a controversial one that affects the daily lives of everyone.)(“daily lives”)(A)People may prefer one to another, although some have no idea about it. (People usually take one sides over the other, despite not having any idea about the subject.)(“take one side over the other”) (B) But if I am concerned, I can only disagree with the title statement and the reasons are given below. (But in my case, I cannot take any one side and only disagree with the title statement for my reasons below.)With reference to environment and pollution, the reason why I disagree to build a shopping center near the community is that it may bring much noise. (With regard to the environment and pollution, the reason why I disagree with building a shopping center near my community is that it would be very noisy.) (1) They may disturb people’s daily life.(Shopping centers can disrupt the daily lives of people.) If there is a shopping mall, it must attract thousands of people to visit and, of course, a lot of noise and rubbish are produced. (If a shopping mall were built, it would attract thousands of people and consequently, a lot of noise and trash as well.) (2) (“thousands of people”) (C)Second, because shopping center must be occupy many spaces. (Secondly, shopping centers occupy a lot of space.) (3) As a result the community will get more and more crowded, and also lose some grassland. We can’t see the green trees behind the shopping mall. (We will not be able to see the green trees behind the shopping mall.)We can’t appreciate the night sky clearly.(We will not be able to appreciate the night sky clearly.) What we may see is a mess.Finally, if all this happens, what direct result is that it seriously affects people’shealth.(Finally, if a shopping center were built, the overall result would have an adverse affect on people’s health.)Living in a crowded and noisy community, you can’t find green grass to rest on. Only you can breathe is polluted air. (You can only breathe polluted air.)How can human beings live healthy in such unpleasant surroundings?Again, I would state my objection to this issue after analyzing the three reasons. Building a shopping center near the community is the wrong choice. It will harmful both the environment and human beings. (It would harm both the environment and human beings.)II. Editorial Comments1. Original:With reference to environment and pollution, the reason why I disagree tobuild a shopping center near the community is that it may bring muchnoise. Revised: With regard to the environment and pollution, the reason why Idisagree with building a shopping center near my community is that it would be very noisy.Disagree with something表示不同意某事,Disagree to do表示不同意做某事。

这里用disagree with表示有人提议建一个购物中心,但我不同意这个建议。

不是不同意去做。

it may bring much noise是中式英语表达法,不地道。

2. Original:If there is a shopping mall, it must attract thousands of people to visit and,of course, a lot of noise and rubbish are produced. Revised: If a shopping mall were built, it would attract thousands of people and consequently, a lot of noise and trash as well.首先在if从句中,动词要用虚拟语态,这一点我们在第一章中已经提到。

其次,为求简洁,多个客体都可以用一个动词表达,只要不会造成歧义。

如此句中的people, noise和trash都可以用attract修饰。

3. Original:Second, because shopping center must be occupy manyspaces. Revised: Secondly, shopping centers occupy much space.副词Secondly放在局首,引导整个句子。

Space是不可数名词,用much,而不是many。

III. Alternative ExpressionsA. The expression ―daily lives‖ re fers to ordinary lives of people in their dailyexistence.Example: People tend to get involved in their daily lives and often don’t time for themselv es.Other ways to express:(i) ―day to day‖ –Example: As the weather changes, one’s day to day activiti es alsochange.(ii) ―daily rut‖ –Example: Most people fall into the daily rut of working and don’t find time to relax.B. To ―take one side over the other‖ refers to take a position or favor something/personor another thing or person. Example: He took one side over the other although he wasn’t clear on the argument. Other similar expressions include:(i) ―side with‖ –Example: He sided with his brother’s opinion.(ii) ―in favor of‖ –Example: He is in favor of taking the train instead of the plane toShanghai.C. The expression ―thousands of people‖ is an overly used expression signifying a massquantity of people.
