托福写作中的10个小技巧

1:你的时间预算。

You have only a half hour in which to complete your work, You should use your time more or less as shown below::

Reading and thinking about the topic 2-3 minutes

Planning and taking notes 2-3 minutes

Writing the essay approximately 20 minutes~

Checking the essay 3-5 minutes

2:仔细阅读问题。

You must write on the topic exactly as it is given。

3:头脑风暴。

Before you begin to write, spend a minute or two “brainstorming。” Think about the topic and the best way to approach ti。

4:写你计划的文章

You don’t have to write out a formal outline with Roman numerals, capital letters, and so on. However, you should make some notes. By following your notes, you can organize your essay before you write, leaving you free to concentrate on the task of writing。

5:确保你的笔迹是尽可能清晰。

Handwriting that is hard to read may unconsciously prejudice the readers who are grading you essay. Be sure your handwriting is not too small or too large。

6:遵循一个明确,逻辑结构。

All TWE essay should consist of three basic parts:

An introductory paragraph

An body: consists of two or three paragraphs。

A concluding paragraph

7:使用具体的例子,具体原因。

Whenever you make a general statement, you should support it with specific examples。

8:使用信号词来表示的转换。

Signal words can be used to join paragraph to paragraph and sentence to sentence。

9:使用不同的句子类型。

Good writing in English consists of a more or less equal balance between short, simple sentences consisting of only one clause and longer sentences containing two or more clauses. Therefore, make an effort to use sentences of various lengths。

10:检查作文错误。

Don’t cross out long sections or try to add a lot of new material. Look for obvious errors in punctuation, spelling, and capitalization as well as common grammatical mistakes。

托福写作的常见题型及答题要点

托福独立写作问题模式:

1.描述解释型

2.二选一型、三选一型

二选一主要包括两种形式:

1. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

2. Which opinion do you prefer?

三选一:Which contributes the most to an enjoyable vacation? Good food, good location, good friends to travel with?

判断一道题是否属于“二/三选一型”,可以看题目中是否包含下列词汇:agree or disagree, prefer, which is better, recommend等。

3.比较对比型

1)最高级题目

这类题目的特点就是题目中带一个最高级,比如

Money is the most important aspect in a job.

这道题目中出现了most这种最高级,只要掌握这种题目的写法,那么其他出现最高级的题目都可以迎刃而解。

2)频率词题目

这类题目中会带有表示频率的词汇,而且这类词汇往往是非常绝对的。比如

Competition between friends always has a negative effect on their friendship.

这道题目中出现了always,这是一个非常突出的频率词。我们平时要注意总结这类题目的写法。

3)比较类题目

It is better to take a secure job with a low pay than to take a job with a high pay but is easy to lose.

这个题目中是拿两个东西或者选择作为比较,通常题干中会出现比较级。

4)隐藏all题目

Students should not take part‐time jobs while they are studying in the university.

所谓隐藏all类的题目就是并没有给出那么显眼的标志词,比如最高级,比较级,频率词等。但是它通常会给出情态动词,比如should 或者can,这种时候我们就要注意题目很可能就是隐藏all的题目。

5)今夕对比

所谓今夕对比,就是过去和现在的对比,比如

It is much easier for people to achieve success without their family members’ help now than in the past.

可以看出这类题目最突出的就是now 和in the past这种表示时间的词

细致划分又有四类常考难点题目:

1、应不应该题

这类题目在题目中一般都会含有should一词,或者含有“应该做”或“不应该做”的意思,问你如此做应不应该。考生要根据这些“应该”和“不应该”来写作文章。

例如这个题目就是应不应该题:

Do you agree or disagree with following statement: all school teachers should be required to take courses every five years to update their knowledge.

2、绝对题

这类题目中常常会带有绝对的语气词,例如only,must,always等;通常这类命题的题目比较明确且语气比较强烈,就是来问你同不同意这种说法,按照这个思路去构思文章。

下面这个题目就是托福独立写作绝对题:

Do you agree or disagree with following statement: only movies that can teach us something about real life are worth.

3、现象证明题

在这一类托福独立写作题目中,主要是在讨论一个现在可能存在的或者是将来可能会发生的现象,问你这个现象有没有或者是会不会出现,考生按照这个思路去拓展写作文章。

例如下面这个题目就是一个现象证明题:

Do you agree or disagree with following statement: in modern times, grandparents cannot give their grandchildren useful advice because the world of today are too different than it was in the past.

4、比较题

这类题目在考试中也是比较常见的,题目中会含有2个或者3个选项来让你选择。这些选择当中可能是不同事物的横向对比,也有可能是同一事物的纵向对比,或者是今夕对比,这种情况出现的较多。如果出现这类题目时可能会同应不应该题或者是现象证明题进行混搭,这样效果会更好一些。

例如下面的题目就是比较题型:

Do you agree or disagree with following statement: nowadays advertisements are more honest than they were in the past.

托福写作快速构思的技巧

一推荐五段三点式文章结构

即Introduction一段,Body三段,和Conclusion一段。一般第一段会用2-4句话陈述自己的观点,大约60字左右。第二到四段从三个方面论述自己的观点,每段约100字。结尾段用1-3句话总结自己的观点,大约40个字。那么如何具体规划每一个段落呢?

开头段主要用以下几种方法来组织,即背景法 (Background),争议法(Controversy),提问法(Question),故事法(Story)和引言法(Quotation)。以背景法为例,背景法一般会提出一种普遍的或值得关注的现象作为背景,或者是由远到近、由大到小地谈论紧扣论题的社会观点作为背景。

背景法开头段的结构通常是:背景(1-3句)+论题+反方观点+(反方理由)+过度+(正方观点)+作者的观点+作者的理由。

以2007年8月11日的独立写作试题为例:Technology makes people's lives more complicated. 题目涉及到了现今社会比较热门的话题——科技。这样,我们就可以以这种社会比较关注的现象作为我们作文的开头背景。因此这个题目的首段就可以这样开始:Technology has had tremendous impacts on every aspect of modern life. However, people are having conflicting opinions about whether it has made people's lives more complicated or not. I believe technology has by and large made our lives more convenient。第一句话就紧贴社会的背景,这样写不但很容易打开考生自己的思路,抓住作文的焦点,还能引起考官的共鸣。

中间段落的文章结构通常如下:Transitional words + topic sentence + development。如果考生在平时能熟练运用这样的一个结构来展开作文,那么考场上就会凭借这份思维定势来帮助自己抓住每一分。

中间三个段落都可以套用这种模式。Transitional words主要有以下三种,即表顺序:firstly, secondly, finally (last but not least);表并列:besides, in addition;表对比:in contrast, in comparison。这些衔接词会让文章看起来脉络清晰,组织严密,也就做到了评分标准中的"well-organized"一条。

二重视主题句

主题句,顾名思义,向考官展示的是考生作文的主要意旨所以它在中间段落中的作用是至关重要的。通常主题句应该注意以下几点:

1.主题句必须是陈述句。有的考生想在写作中创新,于是采用反问句或者其他看似多样化的句型,然而这种多样性带来的后果是给考官观点不明确的印象,很自然地会影响到分数。

2.必须标明观点。如果考生把一句无关痛痒的话放在主题句的位置上,很显然无法表明自身观点。比如像“今天是晴天”这样的话没有表明观点;然而“今天是个好天气”就包含一种感情色彩在里面,给人一种立场明确的感觉。考生应该切记:没有反驳余地的就不可以作为主题句。

3.态度必须坚决,但是不能极端。

4.每段必须有主题句。理论上讲没有主题句是可以的,但是考场上不可以,没有主题就会浪费考官的时间去帮你总结主题,然而繁忙的考官是不会那么善良地去分析你的题目来抓取你的观点的。

托福写作词汇each VS every

一.Each

1. each + singular

Each is a determiner. We use it before a singular noun.

each + singular noun

Each new day is different. (NOT Each new days…)

I enjoy each moment.

The same determiners are “every, either and neither”

真题例句:http://bbs.taisha.org/viewthread ... ge=1&highlight=

2. each of

We use each of before a pronoun or a determiner (for example the, my, these). The pronoun or noun is plural.

each of us/you/them

each of + determiner + plural noun

Each of us sees the world differently.

I write to each of my children once a week.

3. each in mid-position

When each refers to the subject, it can go with a verb in mid-position, like all, both and some adverbs. In this case plural nouns, pronouns and verbs are used.

auxiliary verb + each

are/were + each

They have each been told.

We can each apply for our own membership card.

You are each right in a different way.

each + other verb

We each think the same.

The plans each have certain advantages and disadvantages.

4.position with object

Each can follow an object (direct or indirect) as part of a longer structure.

I want them each to be happy.

She kissed them each on the forehead.

I bought the girls each an ice-cream.

She sent them each a present.

(BUT NOT I helped them each OR I wrote to them each.)

5.one each etc

Each can follow a noun object in sentences that say how much/many of something each person gets.

They got , 000 each when their mother died.

I bought the girls two ice-creams each.

A similar structure is used in giving prices.

They cost .50 each.

6. each without a noun

We can drop a noun and use each alone, if the noun has already been mentioned, but each one or each of them is more common in an informal style. Note that a following verb is normally singular.

I’ve got five brothers, and each (one/of them) is quite different from the others.

7.pronouns

When a pronoun or possessive is used later in a clause to refer back to each + noun/pronoun, the later word can be singular (more formal) or plural (less formal)

Each girl wore what she liked best. (more formal)

Each student wore what they liked best. (less formal, “they” is wrong in ETS’s eyes.)

Each of them explained it in his/her/their own way. (“their” is wrong in ETS’s eyes)

二.Each and every: the difference

1.Each with two or more; every with three or more

Each and every are both normally used with singular nouns. Each can be used to talk about two or more people or things; every is normally used to talk about three or more.

The business makes less money each/every year. (NOT….each/every years.)

She had a child holding on to each hand. (NOT…every hand.)

Note Every (which is normally used with singular nouns) can be used before plural expressions in measurements of frequency. For example: every two years, every tree steps.

I go to Hong Kong every six weeks.

2. difference of meaning

In many cases, both each and every can be used without much difference of meaning.

You look more beautiful each/every time I see you.

But we prefer each when we are thinking of people or things separately, one at a time. And every is more common when are thinking of people or things together, in a group. (Every is closer to all.) Compare:

Each person in turn went to see the doctor.

He gave every patient the same medicine.

We do not use each with words and expressions like almost, practically, nearly or without exception, which stress the idea of a whole group.

She’s lost nearly every friend she had. (NOT…nearly each friend…)

0208-36: Almost (every) the hereditary (material) of (an individual) organism resides (in the) chromosomes.

The correct answer is: every -----> all.

It\'s for sure that “every” is wrong in the sentence, but if “every” ------> "each of", “ almost each of the…” is still wrong.

三. Each other and one another

1.no difference

In modern English, most people normally use each other and one another in the same way. Perhaps one another is preferred (like one) when we are making very general statements, and not talking about particular people. Compare:

They sat for two hours without talking to each other/one another.

The translation of ‘se parler’ is ‘to talk to one another’. (More natural than…to talk to each other.)

2.each other’s / one another’s

Both expressions have possessive forms.

They’ll sit for hours looking into each other’s / one another’s eyes.

3.–selves and each other/one another

Note the difference between –selves and each other/one another. Compare:

They talk to themselves a lot. (Each of them talks to himself/herself.)

They talk to each other a lot. (Each talks to the other.)

4. words used without each other

Note that we do not usually use each other after meet, marry and similar.

They met in 2001.

They married in 2001.

Their interests are very similar.
