在托福寫作備考中,想要寫出一篇優(yōu)秀的文章,必然就要學會知道和學會使用一些當前最為熱門的詞匯。今天小編給大家?guī)硗懈懽鳠衢T詞匯怎樣使用呢,希望能夠幫助到大家,下面小編就和大家分享,來欣賞一下吧。

托福寫作熱門詞匯怎樣使用呢?

important significant magnificent

托福寫作詞匯具體應用到句子中:

1. WTO is planning an important conference about commercial regulations。

2. It is a significant contribution to the society。

3. We have visited the magnificent Forbidden city。

這幾個詞大家都很熟悉,都有“重要,華麗”的意思??墒亲鳛橥壉容^的形容詞,它們之間的關系則是遞進式的,其強調(diào)的重要或者華麗的程度也在逐漸提 升。如果你按照這樣的順序來進行記憶,不但可以記牢這幾個單詞,而且可以得到如何應用的真諦。所以所謂的高級詞匯的應用,要從基礎開始,打好基礎之后再進行積累,切忌操之過急。再來看看下邊這個例子:

Humility humiliate humiliated humiliating

這幾個詞匯都是由humility衍生出來的,但是意思大不相同,humility是我們的傳統(tǒng)美德,叫做“謙卑”,和pride正好是反義詞;而 humiliate卻是有著“使人蒙塵”的意思,humiliate和humiliating 一般口語使用偏多,指的是“感覺很丟臉,沒有面子”。例如:I feel humiliated 或者 it is humiliating. 有時候,與其花費大量時間去記憶新單詞和詞組,都不如在已經(jīng)掌握的單詞中進行聯(lián)想性的擴展來的有效和實惠。其實道理很簡單,說一個東西好,很好,到非常好,相當好,甚至好到不能再好,這是一個縱向比較的記憶方法,按照級別的不同進行選擇性的記憶和使用。

我們再看看下邊這個例子:

So amazing are these crewmembers that they have successfully accomplished space walk,what a briliant mission!

這句話是某英文網(wǎng)站對神舟七號的評價,這個屬于句子的倒裝,但是強調(diào)的內(nèi)容是amazing。這個詞意思很廣泛,而且同義詞也有很多,例如 incredible, wonderful,,甚至unbelievable,這里用amazing是表示難以置信的好,類似incredible,是對太空行走這次任務完成的積極評價,這就是高級詞匯的同等記憶了,這幾個詞都有“美妙,奇妙,難以置信”之類的意思,記憶的方法屬于橫向比較,也就是說,都是表示好到不能再好之類 的意思,但是好的方向不同,所以單詞的選擇會有區(qū)別。

托福寫作中,如果說單詞是句子的靈魂,那句子就是文章的基石。在注重文章的完整性和一致性的同時,也需要文章有精彩的內(nèi)容。希望大家在備考托福寫作時,重視托福詞匯的的使用,學會如何選擇恰當?shù)耐懈T~匯,準確表達所要表達的意思。預祝大家能夠在托福寫作中取得理想的成績。

托福寫作中如何靈活使用比喻句,讓自己的文章更出彩

托福寫作中靈活使用比喻句,可以讓自己的文章更出彩。小編給你舉個具體的例子吧。

前段時間有新聞推送說Uber的CEO大概要辭職了。因為之前左膀右臂紛紛離職,所以孤注一擲的首席執(zhí)行官也要撐不下去了。于是,馬上看到有段子手說

“So now Uber does not have a CTO, COO, CFO, and CEO on the edge of out, this is the closest Uber ever is to a self driving company.

Uber是如圖嘀嘀打車的出行便利平臺,2014年進入中國之后,僅僅3年就因為無法本土化而推出中國大陸,此后Uber在其他市場的行情也不樂觀,即使在原產(chǎn)地美國,市場占有率也屈居于另外一個打車軟件Lyft之后。Uber的總裁是卡蘭尼克也是常青藤校的輟學生,在市場行情不好的情況下,仍然執(zhí)意開辟無人駕駛領域。目前,Uber已經(jīng)儲備了無人駕駛(self-driving)的汽車投入匹茲堡市場進行試點。時隔不久,就傳出了公司首腦分崩離析的消息。

這個小段子中“Self-driving”一詞一語雙關起到了諷刺的有趣效果。一方面,Uber提供駕車服務,也正在推行無人駕駛的服務,巧合地描述了公司。另一方面,現(xiàn)在Uber群龍無首,沒有了COO,CFO,CTO甚至CEO來做司機,整個公司變成了一個無人駕駛的公司。讀到的人有一種“笑著哭”的趕腳,感嘆這家公司未來的悲慘境遇。語言委婉地說人家是自己會開車的公司,貌似要說它前景好,而實際的含義卻出人意料。

修辭是語言的修飾,是表達的藝術,觸動人的情感,是全世界共同的特征。人類都喜歡比較事物的相似和不同之處,在豐富的想象里中創(chuàng)造自己的世界。英語學習中,也有許多基于西方文化產(chǎn)生的修辭。雙關需要一定的巧合才能創(chuàng)造妙語,但是比喻卻隨處可見。

錢鐘書先生說:“比喻是文學語言的根本”。

漢語中說“熱鍋上的螞蟻”

英語中說“l(fā)ike a cat on hot bricks”

漢語中說“蠢得像豬”

英語中說“as stupid as a goose”

漢語中說“一貧如洗”

英語中說“as poor as a church mouse”

漢語中《詩經(jīng)》將瓊瑤比做“愛情”

英語中卡夫卡將人比喻成“蟲”

每個文化有自己的相似點,但是只要我們找到兩個事物之間的相似點就可以自己構造字字珠璣的比喻句哦。

丨話不多說,模板現(xiàn)行

描述同類事物的比較

我們可以說A to B is what Cis to D

中文解釋為A之于B好比C之于D

如果我們要說“對孩子恰當?shù)谋頁P好比太陽之于花一樣”

可以怎么說呢?

Appropriate praise to a child is what the sun is to a flower.

以上比較的點是說兩者都很重要。

恰當?shù)谋頁P對于孩子很重要

太陽對于花也很重要

其實重要性在托福寫作中是非常常用的內(nèi)容。

所以,我們再來練習一個說兩者重要性相似的句子吧

“教育之于現(xiàn)代社會好比水對于魚一樣重要”

Education to modern society is what water is to fish.

學會了嗎?

重要性的句子在托福寫作中一定會用到呢。

拿上周六的托福真題“在家吃飯還是出去吃?”舉個例子。

我們可以說 Having meals at home ensures our safety.

Healthy food to us is what the sun is to a flower.

健康食物對于我們來說就像太陽之于花一樣重要

托福寫作范文:所有知識都能從書本中獲得

It has been said, “Not everything that is learned is contained in books.” Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?

We all crave knowledge, especially in this Age of Information, but what is the best source of knowledge? Are we to believe Albert Camus, who stated “The place we are to get knowledge is in books”? Or are we better served by following Albert Einstein’s counsel that “The only source of knowledge is experience”? (quotations 引入)Although books have their place in one’s learning, there is no substitute for experience; indeed, it is experience that is ultimately the most important source of knowledge.(thesis) 定從,強調(diào)結構

First, let us consider the knowledge needed to undertake a profession – for example, that of a physician.(縮小范圍,舉出某一個職業(yè)) Knowledge gained from books provides the foundation of a doctor’s training:study in a medical school begins with a near-overload of reading on anatomy, physiology and maladies both rare and common. However, during this time the medical student is also learning through experience, beginning with dissecting cadavers from almost the first day of medical school. Then, the aspiring physician must complete four years of residency, consisting of actual supervised experience at a hospital in which he or she now must put into practice all of the knowledge he or she has acquired through books. It is only during the residency that one gains firsthand knowledge of dealing with patients, prescribing medications, and the joy and sadness of saving and losing patients; in other words, it is through experience that these residents finally learn what it means to be a doctor.

這一段沒有topic sentence

What about knowledge other than professional expertise – for example, knowledge about another culture? In this realm as well, both books and real-life experience enrich and edify us. For example, Paris is perhaps the most talked-about and written-about city in the world. We could read Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast, in which he describes the excitement and intellectual spirit—as well as the restaurants and plentiful red wine—of Paris in the 1920’s. Or, we could travel to Paris and eat at bistros, walk across the Pont Neuf and look at the river Seine, visit the Louvre museum, and have adventures of our own. Clearly, most people would have attained more lasting and vivid knowledge by visiting Paris on their own rather than reading about it secondhand.

In summary,experience, rather than books, is more central to our quest for learning, especially with regard to professional expertise. With regard to learning about another culture, experience is also irreplaceable. Yet not everyone in the world will have the health or financial resources to carry out a trip to Paris. But many people have access to a local library where they can borrow A Moveable Feastand, at no cost, read Hemingway’s vibrant descriptions of Paris. We cannot forget the complementary and unique knowledge afforded by books, but experience is the most precious source of knowledge.
