托福寫作高分常見問題解答
很多托福新手考生因為缺乏對寫作評分標準的認識,很容易被一些謬論觀點誤導而采取了錯誤的備考方法,從而導致作文成績不升反降。下面小編就和大家分享托福寫作高分常見4大問題匯總解答,希望能夠幫助到大家,來欣賞一下吧。
托福寫作高分常見4大問題匯總解答
托福寫作備考刷機經(jīng)才能拿高分?
這個觀點在考生當中是比較有市場的,由于托福機經(jīng)的熱門,很多人把它看成了無所不能的備考材料,總覺得只要考前刷一遍機經(jīng)自然能夠拿到高分,作文當然也不例外。然而事實并非如此,托福作文機經(jīng)中雖然包含了大量作文題目,而這些作文題目也的確是歷年考試中出現(xiàn)過的考題,但這并不代表著官方不會出新的作文題目來考大家??忌绻褭C經(jīng)當成作文提分的保障,備考練筆只練機經(jīng)上的題目,那么一旦考試中沒能命中機經(jīng),后果就比較嚴重了。小編始終認為托福寫作考察的是基本功,審題能力,理解能力,語言組織能力等等,這些才是幫助大家拿到理想成績的關鍵所在。當然刷機經(jīng)的確是有效的提分方式,但大家也不能把機經(jīng)直接和高分劃上等號,這樣的看法是有所偏頗的。
素材充分例子多用作文就能提分?
這個說法也是存在問題的。首先托福考試作文分成兩篇,綜合寫作本身不需要考生提出觀點,大家只要把聽力和閱讀材料中講述的內(nèi)容匯總寫出來即可,因此根本就不需要使用任何素材。而獨立寫作的題材雖然是立論,但關鍵還是在于論而非舉例上,論據(jù)素材例子說到底只是服務于觀點,其作用是讓論述更有說服力,論據(jù)素材用得好固然有助提分,但用不好卻也容易反而導致扣分。所以說往寫作中強行加入素材論據(jù)反而是幫倒忙,素材例子用得多就能提升作文成績其實是無稽之談。
字數(shù)越多作文分數(shù)越高?
作文寫得字數(shù)越多得分越高的想法其實很多考生都有。但實際上這種觀點并非完全正確。ETS對于托福作文的字數(shù)雖然給出了規(guī)定,綜合寫作150-225字,獨立寫作300字以上,但也同時說明了只是推薦字數(shù),并非絕對性的限制。在小編看來,只要能保證自己的文章可以把要說的內(nèi)容說清楚,比如綜合寫作把聽力和閱讀素材里給出的信息都總結并清晰地表達出來,把獨立寫作中自己提出的觀點邏輯自洽結構流暢語言通順地寫清楚,這樣的文章就已經(jīng)能滿足托福寫作的要求了,被名為字數(shù)的枷鎖限制住一定要寫到多少字或者強行堆砌無用文字提升篇幅的做法都是不合理的。作文高分和文章字數(shù)之間不存在必然聯(lián)系。
多用高級詞匯復雜長難句作文成績更好?
會有這種想法的考生其實多少暴露出了一點底氣不足的問題。這些同學總覺得作文高分一定要多用高級詞匯和復雜的句式,這樣才能體現(xiàn)水平。然而托福官方的看法實際上并非如此。托福作文中對于考生的寫作能力在遣詞造句方面的要求主要集中在獨立寫作部分,以5分滿分的評分標準為例,官方給出的要求是這樣的:
Displays consistent facility in the use of language, demonstrating syntactic variety, appropriate word choice and idiomaticity, though it may have minor lexical or grammatical errors.
大家可以看到,其實官方根本就沒說一定要用復雜句式和詞匯,syntactic variety說的是句式要有多樣性,appropriate word choice and idiomaticity說的是詞匯短語要用對,然后哪怕有些小的詞匯語法錯誤也是可以接受的。滿分要求都是這樣,可想而知官方對作文在詞句方面其實要求并不是特別高。句式多樣大家用一些短句搭配各種簡單的從句就能夠滿足要求,詞匯也只要盡量避免重復不要用錯詞就可以了。那些強行提高難度的詞句要求完全是某些考生自己加戲腦補出來的要求,大家可千萬不要當真了。
綜上所述,考生想要在托福寫作中收獲高分,對高分的認知就必須端正。一些常見的錯誤看法觀點小編已經(jīng)為大家逐一盤點和分析過了,希望大家能夠明確備考方向和努力目標,練好寫作技能拿到理想分數(shù)。
托福考試作文范例:有錢就算成功嗎
托??荚囎魑念}目:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Only people who earn a lot of money are successful. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
托??荚囎魑膮⒖挤治觯?/p>
不同意此觀點。金錢不是衡量成功的唯一的標準,成功的定義更應該基于社會貢獻。從多角度論證金錢不是萬能的。
托??荚囎魑姆段模?/p>
Since people's criteria for success differ, there is much debate over whether only those who make a lot of money are successful. As far as I am concerned, in today's society that stresses on individual achievement, money provides the best evaluation of one's accomplishment.
To begin with, as a standardized measurement used for comparing values, money is objective rather than subjective, so it is considered an authentic reflection of one's achievement. As different people hold different understandings of success, assessing the amount of one's earnings has become universally accepted as a rule to measure one's success. Each year, Fortune Magazine publishes a special issue to rank the top 100 most successful people throughout the world according to their yearly income, because there are no other methods to rely on.
In addition, the amount of money one makes is the consequence of one's hard work and talent. To deny the accomplishment wealth brings is equal to deny the sources from which it springs. In the past, I only believed in spiritual values and then leapt rashly to the conclusion that the best thing in life involves no money at all. It is my uncle who showed me the significance of money and changed my opinion. He told me he respected money and made it a goal to strive for in his way towards success. Because he would have to pay a price for it in terms of time, thought and energy. Gradually, I came to realize it is the mental and physical labor he devotes in the process of making money that paves his way for self-accomplishment, and thus deserves appreciation and respect.
Finally, money is the most powerful possession in one's lifetime. As everyone knows, success is the ability to do whatever one wants to and to be satisfied with oneself. There is hardly anything that can be done without a certain amount of money. Indeed, with money, one can meet his or her material demand in life, such as taking effective medicines, living in magnificent houses, eating various delicious food, and so on. Also, with money, one can do a lot of meaningful things to benefit others, such as donations to poor people. All these will not only satisfy one's need for personal fulfillment, but also add grandness to one's success.
In conclusion, money serves as a measurement of one's achievement. But we should keep in mind that only those who obtain money by hardworking and use it to benefit the society are really successful.
托福考試作文范例:是否所有學科的大學生都應該學習歷史?
托??荚囎魑念}目:
University students should be required to take history courses no matter what field they study.
學習任何學科的大學生都應該被要求學習歷史課,是否認同?
(2013年9月29日 = 2009年6月13日)
思路拓展:
歷史學習的利好:
1. 閱讀本身就是快樂的,學習本身就是一種成長。閱讀經(jīng)典史書,無論是典故,傳記,還是語錄,都是一種開拓視野,豐富知識,增加文化底蘊的過程。
2. 很多精英,無論是文體明星,還是商業(yè)巨子,他們的成功的重要因素之一就是大學期間博覽群書,鉆研歷史。學習歷史不僅增強了他們的文化底蘊,更加教會他們以史為鑒,理性思考。換言之,他們不斷借鑒史書,積累成功的方法,學習失敗的經(jīng)驗。當他們走出校園,搏擊商海,拓展事業(yè)的時候,從歷史學習中汲取精神力量幫助他們避免犯類似的錯誤,危機中做出明智選擇。
為何不學習歷史:
我承認,有人也許對于我的立場持懷疑態(tài)度。
有人認為,大學所有專業(yè)的學生都被要求學習歷史也許不可取,因為不是人人都對歷史感興趣,歷史學習不一定對于每個專業(yè)的學生都有實際的利好。例如,對于植物學專業(yè)的學生而言,學習歷史可能耽誤時間,分散精力,因此,積累歷史知識對于未來的就業(yè)可能影響不大。
但是,我想反駁的是:對于歷史學習的興趣是可以培養(yǎng)的,通過學習歷史獲得的精神樂趣,培養(yǎng)的辯證思維對于每個人的未來都是有利好的影響。
