独立作文题目

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Students now are more interested in politics than those in the past.

With the globalization of the whole world(万能开头稍显弱,还有whole world这种画蛇添足的词汇,难道后面要分part world写?), politics are playing a more important role nowadays, both domestically and internationally. Thus, I agree that students have more interests in this area than those in the past for two reasons.

First, the advanced technology, such as high-speed Internet, multi-media and smart mobile phone(什么是smart mobile phone,难道有smart phone不能mobile吗?), allows more students access to the politics events. The technology lay an essential foundament(是foundation吧) for students to keep in touch with those activities. For example, the presidency competition between Hiliton and Trump is getting more dramatic. Lots students(Lots是败笔) would watch the TV argument between them by phone, portable computer(什么是portable computer,专业一点就是laptop和ipad吧) and so on(等等等等……考官看中国考生文章会出现无数so on,审美疲劳有没有). They could even(上下句之间有even的递进关系吗,不明显) watch the live program as they are waiting for a bus, share their opinions on the internet while they are in the washroom and hear the speech in their car driving home. Therefore, the convincing efficiency and entertainment attract more and more(这篇作文good肯定是没戏了) students to focus on this politic event. However, students in the past even don't know how to watch the program(神转折,脑子里想的和表达出来的完全不是一个意思,过去的孩子怎么就不知道看电视节目了!他们又不是弱智!是没电视节目看!是没方便的途径!是However, students in the past lack the plentiful sources to approach politics compared with their counterparts nowadays的意思对伐).

Moreover, the more open, transparent and friendly(堆这么多形容词……哎!请注意言之有物!) politic atmosphere provide a great chance for modern students to got involved(时态错了) in these politic activities. Take China for an example(有这种惯用表达吗,我们不是莎士比亚), students beyond 18 years old have the right to vote for political members, like chairman of the students union, which were used to be nominated by school in the past without permitting students to decide who they support and are supposed to be chairman(亲,这么长一句话知道自己在写什么吗?扣分句). This right just inspire the student to choose their own president(这么草草收尾,这论证有点意识流啊!).

In a conclusion, the advanced equipments and the openess to ordinary studentsthe bring more students to join in the politic events(这什么意思?什么叫openess to ordinary students?难道还有special students?是不是想说More students are willing to talk about even participate in political events by the help of advanced technologies and increasing civic attitudes toward politics.).

这篇习作拿到托福考试中,很难达到GOOD要求,通俗讲就是 " 亲,不谈论证逻辑,不扯思维深度,就是语言,哥读的有点累啊,有地方要脑补啊,很多句子连不上啊!"

那么一篇good标准的独立文章长什么样?还是以该题目为例,不改变上文的立场,不颠覆上文逻辑,尽量保持思维角度的一致性,仅从语言和论证严谨度来修改一下,计时创作一篇。

An intriguing phenomenon occurring on and around campus nowadays is that students are more interested in politics than ever before. It is frequent to hear students talking about Obama Care or the latest Presidential Campaign in the United States when dinning in the cafeteria ,say like, Havard or MIT nowadays.

To elaborate, technological advancements improve the readiness of politic access. In the past, society communicates in the form of letters, newspapers and radios with comparatively low efficiency and little convenience. For example, huge political events in China like the escape of once vice-president Lin Biao would not have gotten the attention of American students until many days even weeks later after VOA or CNN have broadcasted it. Even those American students have noticed the incredible political event from newspaper or radio, they have no source to check all the details from Chinese students or friends due to the information barrier between the two countries. In addition, students in the past only shape their perspectives on a political event through authority publications, causing bias in viewing the issue. However, students today can capture every piece of information, political and non-political, just at the time it goes on even on the other side of the globe and receive multiply sources of opinions from government perspective to public statements by the help of the internet, the invention of smart phones and other mobile devices, thanks to the advancement of multi-media technology. These new equipments connecting by the internet makes a strong and close relationship -- "Information Globalization"-- which shattered info barriers and make even the tiniest voice matter. For example, recently in China there is a breaking news that the wife of ChongQing city's mayor, Bo Gukailai, has been prosecuted for causing the death of a British businessman in Beijing. In the past, these "higher class" news will be soon concealed by authorities. But now, students from all over the country can learn about the event only a few hours after "rumors" spread quickly through Wechat or Weibo which left no room for public authority to "hide" any truth but to make a formal announcement and explain the situation.

Also, the spirit of democracy is indeed growing its power not only in developed countries like US but also in developing countries like China even in undeveloped areas. Chinese students are under great supervision and monitoring in the past. As a result, college students are not permitted to talk about political figures or discuss central government policies. Of course, you can "whisper" in the dark, but you know the influence for that. But now, students are free to claim their thoughts about anything and everything even expressing very extreme ideas about politics on the internet just by click a "send" button in Wechat or any similar social APP. At least from what I know, nobody is getting arrested by talking or discussing politics which is so called "the forbidden zone" in the past.

Admittedly, students in schools have little social experiences and usually come up with unrealistic conclusions or solutions about social problems or political events. But it doesn't hurt much to allow students to show bigger interest about it. After all, who rules the next century is always an issue of time, so encouraging students to enroll and learn politics is probably a question of "sooner rather than later" which might be a better way to look at it.

当我们回头去思考托福写作如何获得高分满分的时候?

Is it about the template you would use in test? Is it about fancy words you paraphrase in article? Or is it about something meaningful with correct vocabulary and precise expression throughout the writing? In a word, make sure what you've written MAKES SENSE and let the scorer feel EFFORTLESSwhen glimpsing it through!

高分写作不完全靠背模板,也不完全是抄范文(当然这些都有帮助),真正的高分满分托福作文要 " 多读书多看报少吃零食多睡觉 "。

写作和口语不能闭门造车瞎逼练,否则会永远犯同样的错误,建议各位考生要么背诵地道的英文词句表达,要么找托福口语写作老师陪练(主要是修改习作),这些反馈可能比写多少“机经”都重要,至少节省钻进死胡同重复犯错的时间!

托福写作简单好用的高分句型:平行结构

我们首先来欣赏一下美国的约翰·F·肯尼迪总统所说过的一段话:

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of liberty.

这段文字中,所有动词和宾语的形式都是一致的,语言简洁而有力度。

这种将两个或者两个以上的成分用相同的语言结构表达在英语中称为平行结构(Parallelism)。这种结构不但结构紧凑,而且语言优美,甚至可以包含丰富的情感和风格,不但在演说中经常使用,而且在任何英文考试中,都可以成为提高句子质量和表达水平的终极武器。相反,有些同学的句子很长,使用了从句、非谓语等各种复杂语法,如果结构松散,让人难以理清头绪,也不会被考官视为优质句子。

其实绝大多数中国学生其实都不擅长写平行句式,这是完全可以理解的。

毕竟除了诗歌和对联,中文在大多数情况下都对结构是否平行没有特殊要求,我们依照松散的中文句子翻译出来的英文也就很难做到平行了。

" 高校企业参与了这个神器的新工具的创造,确保了它的融资,并花费时间时产品投放市场。" 从中文的角度,几乎是没有毛病的。

但是直接翻译成英文可能就变成了这个样子:The high school entrepreneur was involved in the creation of a new miracle tool, secured financing for it, and spent time getting the product to market. 这个句子中,"创造"、"融资"和"推广" 都是由学校这个主体发出,最终对象都是 "新工具" 的动作。

因此我们可以将它改成这样的平行结构:The high school entrepreneur created, financed, and marketed the new miracle tool. 这个句子的修改过程,首先是要有意识地使用平行结构,其次是在中文上就对语序作出调整,最后是明确可以并列的成分,也就是动词。

除了以上的动词,介词、连词和冠词也经常能引导平行成分。

我们常用的both ... and、either ... or、neither ... nor和not only ... but also也可以用来连接平行结构,使用时要特别注意前后的结构是否完全平行。

接下来让我们一起用几个句子改错来练平行结构:

1、 许多年从业人员面临两难问题;工作时为了金钱还是乐趣?

原句:A dilemma facing many young professionals is whether to work for money or work for enjoyment.

平行版:A dilemma facing many young professionals is whether to work for money or to work for enjoyment.

2、这对于胜利者和那些输掉的人来说都是一个问题。

原句:This could be a problem for both the winners and those who lose.

平行版:This could be a problem for both the winners and the losers.

3、奥林匹克志愿者们做好准备、完全有能力、下定决心圆满完成任务。

原句:Olympic volunteers were ready, filly able, and were quite determined to do a great job.

平行版:Olympic volunteers were ready, able, and determined to do a great job.

4、学生可以登陆Facebook,花时间阅读邮件,浏览一些博客推送,然后开心地发微博。

原句:Students can log onto Facebook, spend time reading email messages, review some blog posts, and then tweet with joy.

平行版:Students can check Facebook, read email messages, review blog posts, and then joyfully send tweets.

以上基本的平行结构大家是否都掌握了呢?

在托福作文中,有很多可以使用平行结构的地方。尤其是进行过程描述或者同时提出多个细节时,试着把多个动作用同样的形式表达出来,一定会给考官留下思路清晰、语言简洁的好印象。同学们不妨一试。

托福备考范文:痛苦经历对将来的价值

托福考试作文题目:

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Most experiences in our lives that seemed difficult at the time become valuable lessons for the future. Use reasons and specific examples to support our answer.

托福考试作文参考分析:

举一些例子支持题目中的观点,确实有些痛苦经历对将来毫无帮助。

托福考试作文范文参考:

Some people argue that most experiences in our lives that seemed difficult at the time can later become valuable experiences. I cannot agree with them more. There are numerous reasons why I hold confidence on this opinion, and I would explore only a few primary ones here.

Difficulties are beneficial to our personal growth. In the course of our life, we will face numerous difficulties, and each difficulty will help us grow up, and become a valuable lesson for the future. A toddler fells off the ground for many times before he knows how to walk, and a child learns how to swim after he drinks water in the swimming pool. In addition, only after we experienced failures, we know the value of success. We will never appreciate anything that comes so easy. Difficulties can make us feel stronger and be more confident for the future obstacles.

Furthermore, difficulties in our work can help us gain more experience and knowledge. Most of the times we can gain knowledge and experiences faster through experiencing difficulties in our life and trying to find a solutions to the perplexities that we face. There is a famous saying, "no pain no gain." For example, when we take on a new job that we do not have much experience in, the first few weeks can be extremely painful and we may feel enormous pressure and difficulties. And we will try our best to adjust, to learn and to think, how to do this job better. The more difficulties we feel, the harder we try to acquire the skills and knowledge to overcome it. Learning and this stage is extremely efficient and our problem solving skills well increase. After we overcome more and more problems, we can become an experienced worker in this field and will be able to take on more challenges. We will never fear that we will face the same kind of problem again. This means that we have accumulated valuable experiences for the future.

In a word, a difficult experience is a gift that life gives us. We should appreciate it and take it as a precious opportunity to gain knowledge and experience about our study, work and life.
