5種方法提高托福寫作備考效率
托福寫作備考中,很多同學(xué)都不知道應(yīng)該如何練習(xí),如何備考。托福寫作怎么練?今天小編給大家?guī)砹?種方法提高托福寫作備考效率,希望能夠幫助到大家,一起來學(xué)習(xí)吧。
5種方法提高托福寫作備考效率
一.托福寫作題庫量太大,學(xué)會(huì)壓縮
托福寫作題庫中一共有一百多個(gè)題目,如果說每個(gè)題目都準(zhǔn)備一篇范文是相當(dāng)不可取的,效率太低,完全沒有必要,壓縮題庫的方法主要有2種。
1.將題庫分類。每個(gè)分類寫1~2篇就可以解決這個(gè)類的題目。
2.尋找文章之間的共通點(diǎn),互相轉(zhuǎn)化。
二.托福寫作審題時(shí)間不宜太長(zhǎng)
托福寫作是閉卷考試,那么你花上3~5分鐘的時(shí)間去審題,去構(gòu)思,是很必要的。但是,實(shí)際情況是,獨(dú)立寫作是開卷考試,首先題庫公開,它的題型和題材都不會(huì)超出題庫的范圍。
你總會(huì)在題庫中找到類似的題目,加之機(jī)經(jīng)的強(qiáng)大力量,使得托福寫作真的成了開卷考試。既然是開卷考試,大家就應(yīng)該把審題的工作放到考試之前做,爭(zhēng)取在1分鐘之內(nèi)完成,不要浪費(fèi)時(shí)間,把時(shí)間用在打字上,而不是思考上。那些思維風(fēng)暴、切題思路之類的,應(yīng)該是事先已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備過,訓(xùn)練過的。如果考到了從來沒接觸過的題,只能說明沒有準(zhǔn)備到位,如果審題時(shí)間超過了2分鐘,那么準(zhǔn)備也沒有到位,這就是開卷考試的備考思維,滿分不是臨場(chǎng)發(fā)揮出來的,而是準(zhǔn)備出來的。
三. 利用好托福寫作范文
學(xué)習(xí)范文后,考生可以開始針對(duì)不同話題的文章提出自己的觀點(diǎn)。列提綱,尋找supporting details。這樣,做好了充分的準(zhǔn)備,就可以有真正的開始練筆階段。需要說明的是,如果同學(xué)們沒有好的模擬寫作小軟件,建議使用windows自帶的寫字板,切忌使用Microsoft Word等具有糾錯(cuò)功能的軟件進(jìn)行模擬寫作。這是因?yàn)橥懈懽髦衅磳戝e(cuò)誤也是會(huì)導(dǎo)致扣分的,而自帶的糾錯(cuò)軟件會(huì)幫助考生修整這個(gè)問題,讓大家無法注意到自己的拼寫問題,真正考試的時(shí)候容易出現(xiàn)錯(cuò)誤。而在練筆的最初階段考生可以不計(jì)時(shí)間,但熟悉了寫作的流程后一定要每次寫作都計(jì)時(shí),模擬真實(shí)的考試環(huán)境。
四.不抄萬能模板,整理出自己的寫作模板
最開始練習(xí)independent writing獨(dú)立寫作時(shí),同學(xué)們往往會(huì)遇到不知如何下手的問題。因此,在練習(xí)的初期,可以先閱讀一些托福寫作的范文、相關(guān)書籍以及閱讀精讀里面的文章,注意作者的文章結(jié)構(gòu)和展開方式,同時(shí)積累例子和細(xì)節(jié)。這樣,我們對(duì)于獨(dú)立寫作的套路就有了基本的了解。另外在關(guān)注文章的展開方式時(shí),我們同樣可以學(xué)習(xí)范文里的句式結(jié)構(gòu)和高深的詞匯。這并不是鼓勵(lì)大家抄襲,而是希望考生能夠通過模仿真正掌握較高級(jí)的句子結(jié)構(gòu)和較復(fù)雜的詞匯,這些都會(huì)給我們的作文加分。
五.綜合寫作練好總結(jié)歸納能力
Integrated writing部分也就是綜合寫作是聽力和寫作的結(jié)合,不需要大家發(fā)表個(gè)人觀點(diǎn),因此考察的是聽力能力和復(fù)述的能力。在聽力之前的三分鐘要認(rèn)真閱讀題目中的文字,文字中會(huì)有3個(gè)支持文字觀點(diǎn)的論據(jù),聽力則會(huì)針對(duì)這三個(gè)觀點(diǎn)逐個(gè)展開。對(duì)于聽力部分,同樣提醒大家要多做筆記,記住細(xì)節(jié),在作文展開中體現(xiàn)出來。一篇高分的綜合寫作一定有變化多樣的句式,這個(gè)在我們準(zhǔn)備模版的時(shí)候一定要體現(xiàn)出來。在托福寫作高分的道路上,需要一點(diǎn)運(yùn)氣和技巧,但更多的是平時(shí)的努力。俗話說熟能生巧,想要寫出高分作文,還是那句話:多練習(xí)!

Your job has more effects on happiness than your social life does.

寫作參考一:
There is no denying that happiness originates in the acts of meeting people's various needs. Nowadays some people claim that happiness is more affected by the job they owned than their social life. This is a popular misunderstanding. As far as I am concerned, social life and jobs have the equal role in making people feel happy, because they can respectively satisfy people's different needs.
On the one hand, a decent and well-paid job can provide us with a large amount of money, which could fulfill our material needs and improve our living standards. For example, with adequate financial resources we can live in a spacious and well-decorated house with six bedrooms and eight restrooms. We can travel around the world and visit the Forbidden City inChina, the Liberty Statue inAmericaand the Big Ben inBritain. In addition, such a good deal of money enables us to keep fit by having nutritious diet and mineral water transferred from the water source. Meanwhile, we can hire a personal doctor around the clock in case of any emergence of disease. We do not have to wait for a long time by standing in the long and crowed lines of patients in hospitals. All these things will definitely make us feel happy.
On the other hand, the important role of social life in helping us attain happiness can not be ignored. Confucius, one of the greatest philosophers and educators inChina, once remarked that it is a pleasant thing to meet with a friend from afar, which indicates that friendship is another source of happiness. Participation in social activities will enlarge our social circle and make us make acquaintance with more people. For example, if you are a bookworm, you can take part in readers' association where you will encounter a lot people who share a common interest. Chatting and talking with them will help form a deep friendship and make you have a better mood. The reason underlying the above example is that your need of communicating with others is met by participating in social life.
In conclusion, since happiness depends on the fulfillment of one's need, social life and jobs combines together to make us happy. It is an exaggeration to say that your job has more effects on happiness than your social life.
寫作參考二:
People tend to have different expectations out of a job, like personal satisfaction, higher pay, respect, and social recognition. Some people are so dedicated to their jobs that they barely have something fun life, while others tend to seek happiness outside of their professional life. Personally, I think my job has a greater impact on my overall happiness than my social life based on the following reasons.
First off, for professionals, especially newly minted college graduates, a job can provide them a great sense of satisfaction. When holding a job, one feels that he or she assumes great responsibility and has something offer back to the community regardless of ones’ positions, be it cashier, janitor, professor or even business managers. For instance, an Executive Officer can help to create jobs that benefit lots of people; chefs can create a new dish and release his creativity, at the same time customers will be amazed by his new dish; a professor gets a great sense of accomplishment when he imparts knowledge to his students or comes up a groundbreaking finding in a certain academic field. Though the happiness and satisfaction can be subtle in a working environment, nonetheless, it can be very contagious and eventually makes someone a satisfied person in life.
Additionally, holding a job can offer someone monetary incentive and it can also be an important source of motivation and happiness. Without a decent salary one cannot afford the daily necessities like paying rent, covering living expense, like utility bills, internet bills, to say nothing about living a comfortable life. A recent study on the correlation between monetary compensation and employee satisfactions published by Harvard Business Review suggests that higher financial reward affords great happiness in a working environment. Indeed, the monetary reward from the job can make someone very happy and give them a sense of achievement. With the salary, a young adult can have some disposable income and thus be more financially independent, buy things they like or take a trip somewhere.
In conclusion, a job can provide more happiness than one’s social life since career opportunities provide people a great sense of satisfaction and the monetary incentive associated with jobs can also be an important source of motivation and happiness.
托??荚囎魑莫?dú)立寫作范文:通過別人喜歡的書或電影了解一個(gè)人
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: One can learn a lot about another person from the books and the movies that the person likes.
范文參考:
Spending a significant amount of time with someone is necessary to get to know their personalities and temperaments. Sometimes, people can also tell a person’s quality and determine his or her personality by analyzing their behaviors. When it comes to the question of whether one can learn about another person from the books or movies that the person likes, I personally am in favor of this statement based on the following reasons.
First off, by judging from the books or movies or even TV programs that someone like we can tell a person’s interests and hobbies, consequently we can learn more about them. For example, My roommate back in college was really into auto magazines, TV shows and even movies featuring fancy sports cars. At first, I didn’t know him so well to know his hobbies and interests, however, I was sure at that time that he must have been a big fan of cars. Indeed, my judgment was right and he was a car freak, he likes all kinds of vehicles like sedan, SUV, recreational vehicles, etc. It is not an exaggeration to claim that he can tell not only the brand but also the version of a specific vehicle by just checking out the picture of the cockpit of the car. Ultimately, we can tell a person’s hobbies by the movies and books they like.
Additionally, the genre of the books that someone reads says a lot about the person’s character and temperament. Actually, it is natural for someone to shape their characters just because the characters in the novels or movies have a dramatic impact on the person’s behavior and attitude, regardless of the types of the characters like fairy, alien or someone with superpower. For instance, girls who read a lot of romantic novels like Gone With the Wind might be very emotional and very committed to someone they love. For someone who read science fiction novels or watch movies featuring future events and exploration of outer space tend to be very creative and willing to take risks, to be more specific, they might be someone who friends can depend on when they got stuck in some sort of exploration.
For someone who likes to read classics of all times like the works by Jane Austen or Ernest Hemingway, they tend to cherish the simplicities and trivialities in lives.
In a nutshell, by judging from the genre of the book that someone reads, not only can we tell a lot about the person’s interests and hobbies but also the person's character and temperament.
