托福寫(xiě)作的經(jīng)??鄯贮c(diǎn)
在托福寫(xiě)作考試中,考生想要寫(xiě)出一篇精彩出色的作文,那么你的托福作文中就需要避免一些扣分點(diǎn)。今天小編給大家?guī)?lái)了托福寫(xiě)作的經(jīng)??鄯贮c(diǎn),希望能夠幫助到大家,下面小編就和大家分享,來(lái)欣賞一下吧。
托福寫(xiě)作的經(jīng)??鄯贮c(diǎn)
扣分一: 照抄題目,照搬原文
例如有道題的題目是“ Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Children can benefit in important ways from taking care of a pet animal.”,然后考生的第一句話就直接復(fù)制粘貼了,考生的第一句話是:”For the question if I agree or disagree with the following statement? Children can benefit in important ways from taking care of a pet animal. Well, as far as I am concerned...”
這種明顯的湊字?jǐn)?shù),不改動(dòng)句子,連最基本的同義詞互換都沒(méi)有做到。這種很容易讓考官降低讀文章的興趣,使得分?jǐn)?shù)不夠理想。考生可以使用例如“When it comes to the issue about …, as far as I am concerned…”。這樣會(huì)大大提高考官好感度。
扣分二: 論據(jù)根本不能證明自己的觀點(diǎn)
例如,在寫(xiě)官方真題Official28的獨(dú)立題(Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents today are more involved in their children's education than parents were in the past.)時(shí)候,第一段是這么寫(xiě)的:“孩子的教育受到重視,孩子的將來(lái)也取決于他們的表現(xiàn),家長(zhǎng)們很關(guān)心孩子的教育。因此我同意現(xiàn)在的家長(zhǎng)比從前更重視參與到孩子的教育中去了。
大家看到這感覺(jué)到問(wèn)題的所在了么,這位考生一直在說(shuō)“現(xiàn)在孩子的教育受到家長(zhǎng)重視”,然而這并不能證明“現(xiàn)在的家長(zhǎng)比從前更 加重視參與到孩子的教育中去了”。一定要切題,緊抓主題,不能以為寫(xiě)很多,或者用的關(guān)鍵詞多就證明緊抓主旨。
扣分三: 假大空的廢話一大堆
假大空的廢話容易讓考官覺(jué)得故意湊字?jǐn)?shù),讀完沒(méi)人有人思考,如同嚼蠟。無(wú)論是描述一件事情有多么深遠(yuǎn)的意義,還是描述一個(gè)東西有多么有意思,總是反復(fù)不停地說(shuō):“這個(gè)事情有意義是因?yàn)檫@是多么有意義的一件事”“這個(gè)東西是多么的有趣是因?yàn)檫@是一個(gè)多么有趣的東西”。因此,如果說(shuō)明某事有意義,應(yīng)該說(shuō) “這個(gè)東西多么的有趣是因?yàn)橛幸淮挝規(guī)е@個(gè)東西出去玩然后……”這種順序才能讓考官感同身受。
扣分四: 跑題
例如,一個(gè)考生的托福作文中題目是這樣的,“Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Always telling the truth is the most important consideration in any relationship between people.”然后該考生在作文中大致思路如是寫(xiě)道:“Always telling the truth”是不理性的,而他認(rèn)為我們應(yīng)該做一個(gè)理性的人,他自己是理工科的學(xué)生,他覺(jué)得理工科的學(xué)生更為理性,而文科的學(xué)生總是不那么理性……然后就沒(méi)有然后了,這種是考生經(jīng)常犯的錯(cuò)誤,剛開(kāi)始是正在主題中,中途一遇到自己擅長(zhǎng)的部分,就開(kāi)始無(wú)線擴(kuò)展,導(dǎo)致很難回到主題上來(lái),加上時(shí)間限制,就草草生硬的加了結(jié)尾。
扣分五: 自相矛盾
出現(xiàn)這個(gè)情況的考生,和跑題的考生的文章有著“相通之處”,跑題的考生是要么一開(kāi)始就跑偏,要么半路跑偏。而自相矛盾的考生呢,不是舉例子寫(xiě)著寫(xiě)著不知道怎么就矛盾了,就是寫(xiě)到后來(lái)寫(xiě)得自相矛盾了的。
例如這題:“Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People today spend too much time on personal enjoyment—doing things they like to do—rather than doing things they should do.”。有一位童鞋的作文里面,開(kāi)頭寫(xiě)自己“同意人們現(xiàn)在花太多時(shí)間在個(gè)人娛樂(lè)上”,并且說(shuō)的也有理有據(jù),說(shuō)現(xiàn)在的人就知道打游戲等,結(jié)果寫(xiě)到后面,就寫(xiě)成了現(xiàn)在的人工作壓力太大,家庭壓力也很大,很多時(shí)間都花在了工作、家庭上,很少有時(shí)間能娛樂(lè)……這種自相矛盾的很容易在寫(xiě)完后檢查時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn),由于時(shí)間關(guān)系,要么放棄,要么慌忙改正,導(dǎo)致文章結(jié)構(gòu)松散。
只要考試注意上面這五個(gè)扣分點(diǎn),那么對(duì)你的托福寫(xiě)作考試的提高一定會(huì)有幫助,我們?cè)谄綍r(shí)的練習(xí)中也該注意這些方面,對(duì)自己高要求,才可再托福寫(xiě)作中發(fā)揮出很好的水平。最后,小編預(yù)祝大家托福考試能取得理想的成績(jī)。

托福語(yǔ)法題做題規(guī)律口訣
口訣一:一語(yǔ)法,二邏輯(語(yǔ)義),三用法
這一口訣概括的是托福語(yǔ)法題整體解題思路和策略,其含義是:
一語(yǔ)法: 做托福語(yǔ)法題,首先從"語(yǔ)法"層次開(kāi)始.在這一層次,正確答案與干擾項(xiàng)之間的區(qū)分在語(yǔ)法(或句子成分)的差別上.無(wú)須弄懂句子的意思即可做對(duì).
如: (1) —— were derived from Lation.
A. All Romance languages
B. While Romance languages
C. There are Romance languages
D. With Romance languages
上句中缺少的明顯是主語(yǔ),必須由一個(gè)名詞性結(jié)構(gòu)來(lái)充當(dāng).4個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,只有"A"項(xiàng)是名詞性結(jié)構(gòu).答案只能是A.
(2) The (scientific) revolution of the early 1900's (affected) education by (change) the nature of (technology).
上句中介詞by之后必須由名詞性結(jié)構(gòu)來(lái)充當(dāng)賓語(yǔ).后面的change雖然既可作動(dòng)詞,也可作名詞,但由于其后面還有一個(gè)名詞性結(jié)構(gòu),按照"兩個(gè)名詞不見(jiàn)面"的口訣——我們后面將具體討論——這里只能為動(dòng)詞,所以C項(xiàng)錯(cuò),答案為changing.
上面兩道題均可以在不考慮句子意思的前提下即找到正確答案.這類題在托福語(yǔ)法"填空"部分占85%以上,在"改錯(cuò)"部分亦不低于60%.掌握這一規(guī)律并記住相應(yīng)的規(guī)律和口訣可以大大地提高我們作題速度和質(zhì)量.
二邏輯(語(yǔ)義): 有一些題僅靠對(duì)句子成分地分析無(wú)法找出正確答案.這時(shí),我們就必須以語(yǔ)義地層次來(lái)考慮語(yǔ)言或意思上的邏輯關(guān)系. 如:
(3) She has not yet —— my invitation.
A. accepted B. will accept
C. excepted D. accepting
從"語(yǔ)法"即句子成分的角度看,缺少的是謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞,B,D兩項(xiàng)顯然不能入選,但A,C兩項(xiàng)似乎都可以.這時(shí)就需要通過(guò)邏輯(語(yǔ)義)來(lái)加以分析.如選A項(xiàng),句義為"她尚未接受我的邀請(qǐng):.如選C項(xiàng),句義為"她尚未把我的邀請(qǐng)排除在外",這顯然不合情理,有悖邏輯.故答案只能是A.
(4) Walt Disney (is) remembered by (an American family) everywhere for the distinctive and (irresistible) cartoon character he (introduced) to movies and television.
此句中語(yǔ)法關(guān)系自身似無(wú)問(wèn)題,但B項(xiàng)的an American family(一個(gè)美國(guó)家庭)與后面的everywhere(到處,無(wú)所不在)從邏輯上相悖,為錯(cuò).故答案是B.
三用法: 有個(gè)別題從"語(yǔ)法"和"邏輯"的角度都可接受,這時(shí)就必須考慮從"用法"層次區(qū)分問(wèn)題了.如: (5) Plants receive their nutrients —— water,soil, and sunlight.
A. where B. over
C. in from D. from
上句從語(yǔ)法的層次分析, A,C兩項(xiàng)均不可取.但B,D兩項(xiàng)無(wú)論從語(yǔ)法還是邏輯上看都是可以被接受的.此時(shí)只能看用法了.由于receive一詞用法上只能與介詞from搭配,答案只能是D.
6) City officials (are) concerned (because) crime on public (transportation) (near) reached record highs this summer.
無(wú)論是從語(yǔ)法還是邏輯的角度看,上句均無(wú)問(wèn)題.near一詞通常具有形容詞,副詞,介詞3種詞性,而且還可以用作動(dòng)詞.用副詞修飾動(dòng)詞絕無(wú)問(wèn)題,且near具有接近,靠近的含義,與reached搭配似乎也沒(méi)有什么不妥.但從語(yǔ)法的角度看,作副詞的near只能與draw ,come 等不及物動(dòng)詞搭配,此處為錯(cuò).故答案為D.
托福語(yǔ)法題做題規(guī)律口訣
這一口訣主要是用來(lái)解"填空"題的.我們所遇到的情況更多是題干的句子較長(zhǎng)而且關(guān)系復(fù)雜,如按傳統(tǒng)的方法先搞清楚句子內(nèi)部關(guān)系,分辨出句子的基本意思,再找出相應(yīng)缺少的成分——不但耗時(shí)很多,而且把握不大.這里,我們介紹的方法則簡(jiǎn)便了許多:將具有"獨(dú)立"意義的句子 成分去掉——如果這時(shí)主句不缺少成分的化,也不予以考慮——只考慮剩下,不"獨(dú)立"的成分.這樣,關(guān)系簡(jiǎn)單了,正確答案也就容易找到了.而且絕大部分情況下,在"語(yǔ)法"層次—— 即不弄懂句義的情況下——即可選出正確答案.
那么,都有哪些成分時(shí)"獨(dú)立成分"呢?主要有以下幾種:
1.副詞和不是用作前置定語(yǔ)的分詞;
2.不定式,介詞,分詞,同位語(yǔ)等短語(yǔ);
3.所有的從句.
這種方式究竟有多大的作用呢?下面我們來(lái)看幾個(gè)例句:
(7) Geophysicists have collaborated with archaeologists and anthropologists to study the magnetic properties of pottery and fireplaces at sites —— by early humans.
A. occupied B. occupying
C. which D. were occupied
如果按照上面提到的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)去衡量,這個(gè)句子的題干就應(yīng)該時(shí)這樣的:
(Geophysicists have collaborated主句)(with archaeologists and anthropologists介詞短語(yǔ))(to study the magnetic properties不定式短語(yǔ))(of pottery and fireplaces介詞短語(yǔ))(at sites介詞短語(yǔ))——(by early humans.介詞短語(yǔ)) 將這些"獨(dú)立成分"都去掉后就只剩下"Geophysicists have collaborated".由于題干的主句及其它部分都不缺少成分,作為答案的選項(xiàng)也必須是一個(gè)"獨(dú)立成分".在不考慮詞義的情況下,A,B,C3個(gè)選項(xiàng)似乎都可以.但是,如果B項(xiàng)可以的話,C也一定可以.反面證明兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)都不 行,答案自然是A了.
(8) During the late fifteenth century, —— of the native societies fo America had professions in the fields of arts and crafts.外語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)
A. only a few B. a few but
C. few, but only D. a few only
還是按照前面提到的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)去衡量,這個(gè)句子的題干部分就會(huì)變成下面這樣:
(During the late fifteenth century介詞短語(yǔ)),——(of the native societies of America介詞短語(yǔ))had professions (in the fields介詞短語(yǔ))(of arts and crafts 介詞短語(yǔ)).把獨(dú)立成分去掉后就只剩下 "—— had professions".一眼即可看出,句子缺少主語(yǔ).答案自然就是A了.
