托福寫作用詞霸道的技巧

語詞的選擇

寫作中用詞不準(zhǔn)確是很容易犯的毛病，good，terrible，see，nice，kind，greatly，think，know，something等詞匯在學(xué)生作文中反復(fù)出現(xiàn)。這些詞本身并沒有問題，是英語常用詞，但是它們表達(dá)的意思過于模糊，很多情況下，應(yīng)該使用意義更加準(zhǔn)確的詞。況且，學(xué)生老是使用這幾個詞會給人以表達(dá)形式單調(diào)，詞匯量貧乏，文章缺乏感染力的印象。下面的一些例子，通過換用一、兩個準(zhǔn)確生動的詞語或是運用一些固定搭配及習(xí)語就使整個句子增色不少。

1.Original: Solving trivial problems in the dorm will add your social experience and help you to understand other people’s feelings and learn to be kind.

Revised: Solving trivial problems in the dorm will enrich your social experience and help you to understand other people’s feelings and learn to be considerate.

亮點評析

add，kind表達(dá)的含義都比較寬泛。add可以指數(shù)量上的增加，也可以指程度的加強(qiáng)，對于“豐富經(jīng)驗、增加知識”這個意思，用enrich會使表達(dá)更準(zhǔn)確。kind從字面意義上講是“好的、善良的”，用kind來形容人無法具體地表現(xiàn)出一個人的性格特征到底怎樣，原句中是想表達(dá)“考慮周到、體貼入微”的特點，要準(zhǔn)確表達(dá)這個含義應(yīng)選擇considerate。

2. Original: Science and technology have greatly influenced our lives and our society is changing very rapidly.

Revised: Science and technology have come to pervade every aspect of our lives and, as a result, society is changing at a speed which is quite unprecedented.

亮點評析

greatly，rapidly屬于常用詞，表示程度高、速度快，這樣的詞在表達(dá)效果上不夠具體，缺乏說服力，在修改后的句子中用了pervade every aspect of our lives就具體生動地表現(xiàn)出科技的影響力到底有多大，其影響力已滲透到我們生活的方方面面，at a speed which is quite unprecedented意為“以一種前所未有的速度”，形象地道出了變化速度之快。

3. Original: Young people tend to think that real life is as nice and interesting as it is in the novels and movies, while more experienced adults think this kind of naive daydream will only be destroyed by later experiences and every one should learn to get used to common everyday life.

Revised: Young people tend to think that real life is as dramatic and fascinating as it is in the novels and movies, while more experienced adults think this kind of naive daydream will only be destroyed by later experiences and every one should learn to get used to tedious everyday life.

亮點評析

nice，interesting，common都屬于普通詞匯，用到句子中也顯得平淡蒼白。nice的意思是“好的，令人愉快的”，interesting是“有趣的”，這兩個詞都不能準(zhǔn)確地描繪出年輕人所憧憬的美好生活，句中想表達(dá)的是年輕人認(rèn)為生活如同小說、電影一般充滿戲劇變化，激動人心，要體現(xiàn)這層含義應(yīng)該用dramatic，fascinating。dramatic表示“刺激的，戲劇性的，給人深刻印象的”，fascinating表示“具有強(qiáng)烈吸引力的，迷人的，使人神魂顛倒的”，這兩個詞的程度要比nice，interesting深得多，表現(xiàn)力也更強(qiáng)。原句用common表達(dá)實際的現(xiàn)實生活的枯燥無味是不準(zhǔn)確的，common的意思是“普通的，平常的”，普通平常的東西不一定是枯燥的，tedious是表示“(因過長、過慢或單調(diào))令人厭倦的，煩人的”，恰好傳達(dá)出現(xiàn)實生活由于瑣碎和重復(fù)而變得索然無味這種含義。

4. Original: You should compete to live in this society.

Revised: You should compete for survival; otherwise, you will be thrown out of the tide of society.

亮點評析

原句平平淡淡，只是告訴人們要在社會立足，必須競爭，但這樣一句簡單的勸告似乎缺乏說服力，修改后的句子用了compete for survival，為了生存而競爭，而且后面又添加了一個并列分句，補充說明了如果不compete的后果就是be thrown out of the tide of society，被社會的浪潮所淘汰，使用這些更加具體深刻的詞匯能夠形象生動地表現(xiàn)出競爭的慘烈。

5.Original: I really believe that smoking is harmful to people’s health.

Revised: I have a profound conviction that smoking is harmful to people’s health.

亮點評析

conviction的意思是“堅定的看法或信仰”，have a profound conclusion表示對某種看法深信不疑，作文中提出觀點的句子用have a profound conclusion會比用believe態(tài)度更堅決，立場更鮮明，而且believe這個詞非常簡單，是英語初學(xué)者就應(yīng)掌握的詞匯，換成have a profound conclusion立即增加了句子的復(fù)雜程度，體現(xiàn)了較強(qiáng)的語言運用能力。類似的提出觀點的表達(dá)還有：

I hold a point of view that…

I hold the opinion that…

6.Original: We know that sometimes success is measured by how much money you earn.

Revised: It does not surprise us to discover that sometimes success is measured in terms of the money you earn.

亮點評析

如上句的believe一樣，know也是非常初級的詞匯，作文中出現(xiàn)I believe that…，I know that…這樣的表達(dá)只能體現(xiàn)考生寫作技巧的稚嫩，用It does not surprise us to discover that…替換We know that…并沒有改變原句的含義，卻使全句頓時增添了亮點。

7.Original: We all know that most factories would be of no use if there were not clean water supply.

Revised: It goes without saying that most factories would be of no use if there were not clean water supply.

亮點評析

同上例一樣，know這樣的初級詞匯應(yīng)避免在作文中使用，It goes without saying that…是一個固定結(jié)構(gòu)，意思是“……是不言而喻的”，常在作文中用來引經(jīng)據(jù)典或表明一個盡人皆知的道理，類似的表達(dá)還有：

An old saying goes that…

Proverb goes that…

It is universally acknowledged that…

It is generally accepted that…

8.Original: Some other people think that people should read extensively.

Revised: Another position says that people should read extensively.

亮點評析

同know，believe一樣，think也應(yīng)該盡量避免使用，修改后的句子中是用Another position says that…代替think提出另一種觀點，也可以用hold a point of view，hold the opinion這樣的短語替換。

9.Original: The unexpected win of the match give us confidence.

Revised: The unexpected win of the match boost our confidence.

亮點評析

give也屬于英語中最初級、最基本的詞匯，只表示“給，給予”這個動作，不涉及動作的性質(zhì)和狀態(tài)，若表示增添信心，增強(qiáng)士氣，比較地道的說法是用boost confidence/morale，如：The change of management has boosted morale throughout the company. 管理模式的改變使整個公司上下士氣倍受鼓舞。

10.Original: The use of drugs has increased greatly in the last ten years.

Revised: The use of drugs has increased significantly in the last ten years.

亮點評析

greatly是一般用語，表示程度高，“很，非?！?，使用相當(dāng)普遍而沒有新意，在寫作中應(yīng)盡量避免使用這些通俗而又陳舊的詞匯，應(yīng)換用一些更加正式，更有說服力的詞語，例如significantly表示達(dá)到了非常重要的或可觀的程度，“重大的，可觀的”，能夠具體說明藥品使用方面，增長幅度巨大。significantly還可以替換成considerably，tremendously等，同樣具有不錯的表達(dá)效果。

持一立場

針對某一個論題，每一種觀點都有它的理由。同樣，在托福作文中也不存在著唯一的觀點和內(nèi)容。這時，你可以從兩個完全相反的觀點中選擇一個立場。關(guān)鍵在于你如何說服讀者：盡管存在著相反的立場，你的觀點從總體上來說仍然是最具說服力的。

一般說來，應(yīng)該選擇那個政治上正確的或者大多數(shù)考生會選擇的觀點。當(dāng)然，如果你不擅長寫這種文章，你可以適當(dāng)?shù)卣{(diào)整一下內(nèi)容以適應(yīng)你較習(xí)慣的舒服的表達(dá)方式。但總的說來，文章要均衡，不要包含高度爭議性的論述。不要把這里當(dāng)成思想家的論壇。寫一篇高度爭議性的文章只會讓讀者對你產(chǎn)生偏見，同時也會使電腦評分器費解，因為這種文章和其數(shù)據(jù)庫里所儲存的文章差別太大。所以，針對問題時盡量使用較冷靜平和的語氣。盡管如此，你也不能不選擇一個立場。你必須選擇一個將要“出現(xiàn)”在開頭段落和結(jié)論段落里的觀點。當(dāng)然，考試時，題目會讓你選擇一種觀點，但你必須明確地表述出來。

文章的深度

每篇文章你只有30分鐘，這么短的時間內(nèi)你不可能覆蓋每一個推理，反駁和例子。當(dāng)你開始考試時，抽出幾分鐘的時間確定要寫的論點和例子。你不必包含每個論題和概念。大部分學(xué)生都沒有足夠的時間覆蓋他想覆蓋的內(nèi)容。所以，只要選擇其中最具說服力的點和例子。其實，判分者也不期望你對每個論題都作深入的探討。

這里最重要的是你的作文不要離題。抓住要點。不要扯遠(yuǎn)了也不要過分集中在某個例子上。

托福寫作關(guān)于健康的素材

運動

In contemporary society, a multitude of people are increasingly aware of the fundamentality of maintaining health, so as to enjoying better life quality and longevity. In order to possess a healthy body, not only need we keep a nutritious diet and adequate sleep, it is crucial for individuals to form the habit of exercising regularly, as sports and health are intrinsically connected. Doing sports will greatly increase people's metabolism, and strengthen our physique. Sports also help to refresh people's mind from brainwork all day and night, and even more surprisingly, exercising can stimulate people's brains to work more actively and creatively. Overall, sports are not the business of a small group of athletes, but a life-long pursuit that every person should bear in mind and endeavor to put it into practice. Not only do sports benefit individuals, the improvement of the nation's health would be a huge contribution to our country's development.

We might also cite an allegorical story. It is said that an individual’s life is accompanied with five balls, which are lover, family, career, health and friend. Lover, family, career and friends are all rubber balls, consequently, it could bound back when falling to ground. On the contrast, health is the unique glass ball, which is fragile enough to be ruined with a single drop.

The increasingly sedentary lifestyle will engender a higher incidence of ailments. More overweight people means more patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases such as vein hardening, diabetes and hypertension.

便利(節(jié)省時間\時間靈活\交通\休閑\健身\娛樂\吃喝\購物)

People are concerned about the efficiency with the accelerating tempo of life. The more the better. The fast the better. In this regard, X。X takes the top priority. For instance, whenever people click on a search engine and key in a few words into the search box, they will get huge amounts of information. The amazing thing is, all the searching is done in a few seconds, which spares people a great deal of time to enjoy the entertainment such as body-building, watching opera or a movie in their leisure time.

其他參考：

Telecommuting(在家辦公) can spare workers the everyday chore of traveling back and forth to work.

Global cultural homogeneity has immensely enriched the lives of the denizens in developing countries. For instance, now Holly wood blockbusters typically get their first screening in China within a couple of days after their American premiere, and youths in China can download singles topping billboard charts from the Internet without having to scout around in a CD store. Enhanced TV connectivity affords Chinese viewers chances to see primetime American TV shows. This ease of access to a multitude of foreign amusements has really brightened up the lives of many.

例子從何而來

題目會告訴你可以利用自己的經(jīng)歷來展開你的論點，得出結(jié)論。這種方法是可以的，但不要過分。你的推理依據(jù)應(yīng)該更偏向于所學(xué)到的知識而非個人經(jīng)歷。你所舉的例子或者知識可能很吸引人，但不要試圖深入。因為托福作文測試的是你基本寫作能力，而非你的專業(yè)知識。留學(xué)生：盡量多讀一些美國雜志，以適應(yīng)美國人寫作的習(xí)慣和跟上時代的潮流。

保持簡潔

試著將自己放在評分者的位置上，他們整天在為作文判分。你希望看到一篇包含5段每段4句的簡潔的有效的文章還是4段每段10句的散漫的文章呢?簡而言之：確保你的作文干脆，簡潔能取悅評分者。在Issue部分這尤其重要，因為在這里你表達(dá)的是你自己的觀點。
