针对托福写作三选一的题型,我们应该怎么来使用模板答题呢?下面小编就为大家整理了详细的解题思路,帮助大家更好地备考托福写作考试。

托福写作三选一模板解析

托福写作三选一模板解析

总的来说三选一类型题目和普通的二选一进行比较的题目在本质上是相同的,我们在处理A or B这种题目时假设选定A方,则接下来就需要解释A在哪些方面优于B,而不是单纯只找A本身的优势忽略比较性,这样题目给出的2方才能充分在文章中出现。

以此类推,当题目给出ABC三个选项时,选择其中一个选项比如A作为自己的支持方,自然BC这二项则成为了对立面,那么论点的寻找就要考虑A在哪些方面优于B and C。所以论点公式可以理解成:

1. A > B(重点写A优于B的方面)

2. A > C (重点写A优于C的方面)

1. A1 > B+C (写A同时优于BC的一个方面)

2.A2 > B+C (写A同时优于BC的另一方面)

首先我们来看一下43套中独立写作题目:

Question:

Imagine that you are in a classroom or a meeting. The teacher or the meeting leader says something incorrect. In your opinion, which of the following is the best thing to do?

-Interrupt and correct the mistake right away

-Wait until the class or meeting is over and the people are gone, and then talk to the teacher or meeting leader

-Say nothing

Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

根据课堂经验,大部分同学会倾向于第二个选项B“事后再向老师或领导更正”,这里我们就用这个选项B作为观点来解释:

? 论点1就可以考虑B相对于A有何优势,所以立即想到B是强调“事后”,而A则强调“当场”,则想到 Audience, whether students or meeting attendees, can easily be distracted by embarrassment brought by sudden interruption of teachers or leaders being corrected right away and then are likely to discuss mistakes they have made with each other. Consequently, teachers or leaders can hardly continue their speech without quiet environment and participants’ attention.

? 论点2就可以考虑B相对于C有何优势,则想到Audience can realize what the problem is and form a deeper impression if mistakes of speakers are disclosed the minute they are made. Otherwise, they may be misled, using wrong knowledge or information they receive in the future study or work.

(ps:这里题目中的“教学或会议”都能在文中出现,也为同学们不管是论证说理还是举例都提供了多样性的内容表达,二段可以少一些重复)

另外我们再来看一道近半年来考试中常出现的题目:

You community has a piece of land and is considering introducing a business to this land. Which business would you prefer?

-Shopping mall

- A performing art center

-A hotel

这道题目选择A “shopping mall”作为建造对象更为简单好写

? 论点1其实可以考虑A同时优于B+C 的情况:Shopping mall can bring people living in the community considerable convenience, thus improving their quality of life. Compared with a shopping mall which can provide abundant entertainment like cinemas and cafe, a performing art center is rather limited in entertaining the public, for people who are interested in it are comparatively less. Hotel, which can barely become a choice for local people living around, is even more impractical than Shopping Mall.

? 论点2也能找到A同时优于B+C 的另一方面:Moreover, building a shopping mall in the community brings enormous economic benefits to local people by attracting investment and providing job opportunities. However, neither an art center nor a hotel, if constructed, can stimulate consumption immediately or guarantee enough material benefits directly.

最后以一道难题结尾

In times of economic crisis, in which area should governments reduce its spending on?

-Education

-Healthcare

-Support for unemployment

这道题目相对来说“特殊”一点,因为题中问的是“哪方面费用应该被缩减”,相当于是让同学们挑出你觉得“最不重要”的一项,而前面常规文法就是正面让大家挑“最好的”一项,所以解题的思路要反着想了,即需要同学们考虑“为什么这个选项是最不重要应该被削减费用的?”或者说“另外二项为什么重要不应该削减费用?”

针对此题宏观思路展开的难点举例分析

例如,总观点定为选项A,即“经济危机时期,政府应该减少在教育方面的投资”

论点1可以从“经济危机时,B医疗保健比A教育更需要资金”来考虑展开:医疗保健是人们最基本的需求,在这方面失去保障短期内很容易导致人们基本生存条件不足,引起社会不安以及对于政府的不信任;而此时减少教育开支则不会立即影响国家教育质量,因为现有的大多数教育资源如教师,设备,图书馆,资料库等仍可继续被充分利用,等经济好转后再很快能弥补。

论点2可以从“经济危机时,C下岗补助比A教育更需要资金”来考虑展开:经济危机时很容易出现很多人失业或收入大幅下降以及资金大量贬值的情况,此时若也无下岗补助,当无法满足基本物质需求时人们可能会诉诸一些不良手段,如游行示威,甚至犯罪,造成社会不稳定;而相反暂时性的先降低教育开销,短期也不会完全颠覆人们的正常生活。

  托福备考之写作中的加分词句

在此之前,大家可以和我一起看一个比较有意思的写作调侃,内容如下:

越来越多的人开始骑自行车。

学沫版: More and more people begin to ridebicycle.

学渣版: A growing number of people begin tocycle.

伪学霸: Cycling attracts more and more people.

学霸版: Cycling is adding its appeal for manycitizens.

学神版: Cycling gains its popularity.

给自己定位完毕,我们来学习今天的几个词语。

1. Spawn v. 产卵,滋生

2. Attribute v.归因于

3. Draw on 借鉴

4. End up doing something 最终会...

5. Reflect on 认真思考

想必以上几个词很多同学都认识,可是,下面的几句写作常用句中,你知道如何使用以上的词汇吗?

1. 这样的做法会产生很多社会问题。

2. 成功很多情况下是由于团队的共同努力。

3. 借鉴历史的教训十分重要。

4. 如果不保护环境,人类最终会灭绝。

5. 认真思考过后我发现这个观点是不成立的。

我们来看看建议的5个句子:

1. This conduct would spawn a lot ofsocietal problems/

2. Success, in most cases, can beattributed to the team’s concerted efforts.

3. It counts to draw on history.

4. Human beings would end up being extinctif they did not protect environment

5. Reflecting on this statement carefully,I found it unconvincing.

  托福写作之满分作文的三大核心

满分作文的三大核心是结构、内容和语言

首先我们先从结构、内容和语言三个方面揭秘托福作文独立任务得满分的真相。

以下题为例: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Life today is easier and more comfortable than it was when your grandparents were children. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinions.

一、结构

按题材划分,独立任务属于议论文,而论点、理由、论据、结论和论证是议论文的五个要素。具体来说,“论点”是文章的核心,“理由”是论点成立的依据,两者构成因果关系;“论据”是对理由的具体解释,多为事例;“结论”是对观点的重申,两者一脉相承、头尾呼应;而整个写作过程就是一个“论证”的过程。

要想作文得高分,这五要素就必须面面俱到,如此才能写出结构严谨、条理清晰的高分作文

先上一篇范文(下拉可见全文):

As society progresses remarkably, tremendous changes have taken place in people’s life. Nevertheless, some senior citizens cherish the memory of good old days with healthy environment and harmonious interpersonal relationships. As far as I’m concerned, despite serious environmental pollution and prevalence of materialism, 【背景介绍,作者给出了两个时代的对比】 I still believe today’s life to be easier and more comfortable than it was when our grandparents were children. 【提出论点】 I am going to elaborate my viewpoint from three aspects as follows. 【过渡句,承上启下】

To begin with, modern communication technology has changed our lives a lot and provides us with much convenience. 【理由 1】To be more specific, with the wide application of smartphones and the Internet, it is possible for people to contact each other even if they live separately. 【论证为什么理由 1 可以推出观点】 For example, Lily, one of my best friends, is lucky to be admitted into a famous university in America, which means we cannot always hang out together. But thanks to the modern communication technology, we still keep frequent touch with each other on Skype anytime, anywhere. Therefore we feel never apart.

【例子 1】

Besides, a variety of means of transportation make it quick and cozy for people to travel. 【理由 2】 Subways, taxis, private cars, high-speed railways shorten the distance between places. 【论证为什么理由 2 可以推出观点】A good example in point is that my grandparents used to live in suburbs, and anytime they want to do some shopping in urban center, it usually took them 2 hours, owing to bumpy roads and low-efficient old-fashioned vehicles. On the contrary, with great improvement of road condition and advanced traffic modes, they only have to spend 20 minutes a most traveling from home to the city. If it is very hot in summer, all modern vehicles are air-conditioned, which can make the trip very comfortable.

【例子 2】

Last but not least, today’s ample food supply and various food choices are something beyond imagination in the past. 【理由 3】 Decades ago, in China, all foods used to be arranged by the government. In other words, it was impossible for people to purchase what they liked to eat. 【论证为什么理由 3 可以推出观点】 For example, an average family was only allocated 1 pound of pork and 2 pounds of rice. In contrast, nowadays, we never have to worry about the lack of food because supermarkets and snack bars abound.

【例子 3】

To sum up, because of the progress of economy and technology, I am convinced that life at present is more comfortable and easier, which can be well demonstrated through examples of convenient communication, quick and cozy traffic modes and sufficient food supply and choices. 【总结理由,重申观点】 If our government takes efficient measures to solve the environmental problem, our world will become a better place to live.

【提出建议,展望未来】

议论文除了五要素,在给出论点之前多会有简单的背景介绍,不需要长,三两句话即可,为论点的提出造势。

二、内容

这篇范文通过通讯、交通和饮食三个方面,共同论证现在的孩子相较其祖父辈生活的更轻松、舒适,每个理由下面都有具体的事例作为细节支撑,让论证更有说服力。

以饮食为例,作者举例说,以前食品由政府分配,数量有限制,人们不能随心所欲买到需要的食品;而现在则大不一样,在超市里人们可以买到任何所需物品。这种新旧对比,更鲜明的表现出现代社会物资丰富、人们的选择权增加,由此可推断人们的生活变得更便捷、舒适,从而证明论点。

三、语言

一篇高分作文在语言上,首先要保证语法正确,用词恰当,这样才能准确达意。在此基础上可以追求更多样、高级的表达。例如,文章开头要表现“社会发展迅速,人们的生活发生了天翻地覆的变化”这一含义,最常见的表达为:

Sample 1: Our society develops quickly, and people’s life has changed greatly.

Sample 2: With the rapid development of society, enormous change has happened in people’s life.

Sample 3: As society progresses remarkably, tremendous changes have taken place in people’s life.

通过三个句子对比可知,其中“迅速”的三种表达方式,quickly 最为平淡,rapid 居中,remarkable 最佳。同样的,要表达“翻天覆地”的含义,tremendous 就要比 great 或者 enormous 好的多,其他替换的词还有 considerable,drastic,significant 等等。

语言的优化需要不断的积累和练习,多记多练,不断扩充自己的语料库,唯有如此,文章才会写的越来越漂亮,但是咱们很多考生平时不练笔,不积累语料,想单纯依赖“复杂单词,黄金句型”就拿高分——基本没戏。

  托福写作范文:小组学习

托福独立写作题目:小组学习

Some students prefer to study alone. Others prefer to study with a group of students. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

托福独立写作范文:

People have different styles of studying. Some prefer the solitude of studying alone, while others thrive on the social interaction that comes from studying in a group. Certain subjects, as well, lend themselves more easily to one style versus the other. In many ways, the choice between individual and group study comes down to whether one enjoys the presence of others while studying, or finds that the more people involved in the conversation the greater the distraction. All in all, I prefer group study for two primary reasons.

First, group study allows for a social element that makes studying fun rather than arduous. If I sit alone, my mind often becomes distracted, and I easily lose focus. When I am working with a group, however, the social dynamics keeps constantly engaged in the studying process. For example, while I was studying at Oxford, I was working with a cohort of six other international students on a group project. Had I had to work on this project individually, it would have been boring, and I would not have put much effort into it. However, given the fact that each person in our cohort was from a different culture and country, working together was an exploration of different worldviews and philosophies of study, which made it an enjoyable exercise. I walked away from the project knowing more about my classmates’ lives, families and methods of working, as well as my own.

A second reason I prefer studying in a group is that I am able to clarify ideas by bouncing them off of other members of the group. For instance, at law school we are regular asked to identify the potential actions for a case, as well as defenses that the accused might raise. Working alone, I am able to identify perhaps eighty percent or so of the claims and defenses in the assignment. When I work with a few of my classmates, however, we usually are able to clearly identify all of the salient claims and defenses, and joke around while doing it. Different minds think and interpret differently, which leads to a broader range of answers.

In summary, I prefer studying in a group setting because studying in a group incorporates a social element to studying that makes it more enjoyable, and working in a group allows me to identify more solutions than I would be able to alone. In life, one generally has to be able to work with others in an effective manner, and studying in a group is an easy way to hone this skill.
