托福作文审题

托福作文审题

托福写作考试当中，审题是一个很重要的部分。只有把题审好了，你才能理解托福写作题目的真正的含义，这样写作起来才不会出现跑题的现象。那么托福作文审题应该如何进行呢?

There are different types of TOEFL questions. You never know which question you will receive, so you must be prepared to write on ALL the types of questions. It is very important that you completely understand the question BEFORE you begin to write. Below are some different essay question types.

1. Choose a point of view and support that view.

Example: Some people believe that university students should be required to attend classes. Others believe that going to classes should be optional for students. Which point of view do you agree with? Use specific reasons and details to explain your answer.

This type of question asks you to look at only ONE side of the issue…the side you agree with. DON’T write about both sides. You tell which side you agree with and support your ideas with details and examples.

2. Describe something.

Example: If you could invent something NEW, what product would you develop? Use specific details to explain why this invention is needed?

In answering this type of question, you MUST be creative. It asks you to describe something NEW, something that does not exist. You must describe it in detail AND tell why it is necessary.

3. Compare two points of view and tell which one you agree with.

Example: Some people think that children should begin their formal education at a very early age and should spend most of their time on school studies. Others believe that young children should spend most of their time playing. Compare these two views. Which view do you agree with? Why?

In this type of question, you must write about BOTH sides of this issue and then tell which side you agree with. You may NOT say that you agree with both sides. You MUST make a choice. First, give support, details and examples of both sides of the issue. Then, tell which side you agree with and why.

4. Agree or disagree with something.

Example: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: ONLY people who earn a lot of money are successful. Do you agree or disagree with this definition of success? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

In this type of question, you MUST agree or disagree. You cannot be unsure or indecisive. After you have said whether you agree or disagree, you must give convincing reasons and examples for your choice.

5. Explain why something is true.

Example: People remember special gifts or presents that they have received. Why? Give specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

In this question, you should use lots of examples. 【For this question, you would use examples of gifts one might receive and tell why those gifts are memorable】. Do not write in the first person, “I.” Write in more general terms.

6. Support an idea or plan.

Example: It has recently been announced that a new restaurant may be built in your neighborhood. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

In this question, first tell whether you support or oppose the plan and then tell why. Since this question is somewhat personal, it is ok to use personal pronouns such as: “I, me, my” in your answer.

怎么让托福写作表达出新

1】使用同义词。

就好像下面有的写作高频词汇的同义词，这些词都十分频繁的出现。另外大家还要学着用同义词来替换它们。

在考生们接触的综合写作里，教授说话不可以一直都使用think，另外还能够使用believe, consider, deem, figure out。在托福立写作中表示近来的时间状况用nowadays，此外还能够使用recently, currently, at present, in recent years, these days

又好像代表重要的词有important，一篇文章若描写的是某物重要，不能只写important这一个词吧，和它类似的还有necessary, crucial, essential, vital, significant , indispensable, momentous, 若依然有变化，就可以用下面的改变词性的方法。

2】改变词性。

n.→ Adj.比如：important改成be of importance

n. → v.When we look at a comparison between A and B…

When we compare A and B…

Adj. → n.

There are a variety of solutions to the problem.

There are various solutions to the problem.

3】更换需要使用不一样的承接词。承接词不但要起着接段落和段落的作用，同时还起着连接句子和句子的作对。熟识一些常用的承接词对写作将会有大的作用。

because of → due to, owing to, because, as, since, for

but → however, nevertheless, nonetheless, whereas

so → therefore, hence, thus, consequently

4】分析关于形容词的逆向表达。在有的形容词上要认真修改，后是可以达到大家无法想像的效果。

Eg: not as easy as…→more difficult than…

Not uncommon→common

The cheapest → the least expensive

其次，是句型的使用。在新托福写作部分，评分标准里十分重要的一项就是句型结构，需要句型结构都做到丰富多变。例如下面的典型美句，就可以让你的文章加分：

1】it句

It is delightful to have friends from distant lands.

It is undeniable that…

It is obvious that…

2】双否句

it is by no means uncommon to find…

…never fails to …

3】倒装句

So severe is this problem that we have no alternative but to take some feasible measures to deal with it.

Only through education can we rise in the world.

托福写作特点

内容简单化

新托福写作内容简单化是考生在构思托福作文时应遵循的原则。不管大家当练习时或者在考场上，都必须要记住这一点。许多考生在作文上败下阵来就是因为花费了大量的时间和精力追求内容的新颖别致，却把托福考试的目的忽略了。ETS关键是考查考生对于英语语言的语用和理解上面，并不需要考生多么复杂或者高的英语表达方式。考生在写作时只要计划证自己的内容符合逻辑，能够言之有理、言之成理、切题即可，还是应该把注意力放在如何追求语言的得体性上。因此，有关大家构思内容上根本不需要使用太长的时间，当认真读题同时把其理解透彻以后，可以简单列个提纲，作为写作过程中内容的提示。从而能够一气呵成地完成托福文章，使得文章内容更加的流畅。

结构模式化

托福作文的第二大策略即为结构模式化，此为相当核心的一条策略。针对考试中可能出现的题型按照固定的结构模式进行训练。托福写作通常包含的结构模式有3种，其一是一边倒的结构模式，此模式还能够划分成2种，即一边倒和修正型一边倒。一边倒表示大家在文章中完全同意一种观点，需要大家只是列举几个理由，并展开讨论，根本不会因为内容复杂，从而出现逻辑的混乱，而缺点在于相对单一的内容会使考生觉得没有太多话可写。修正型一边倒的写法是指考生即可以写赞成这种观点的理由，也可以谈反对它的理由。第二种是折衷的写法，考生可以先写赞成一种观点的几点理由，接着写赞成另一种观点的理由，后考生就自己的情况，明确表示终赞成哪一种观点。

语言包装化

力求可以做到内容简单化和结构模式化，考生就真正的向TOEFL作文的目标又进了很大一步，若大家依然是可以在语言的细节上更用心，托福作文的分数是肯定能够更上一层楼，此为大家下面要谈的策略：语言要包装。前面已表示托福作文的测试重点是考生的语言能力，因而在语言细节上下一点功夫就可以让考生展示自己的语言修养。作文中语言的包装主要应从以下六点入手：语法方面的包装，词汇的包装，文化移入，引用名人名言，地道的英语习语，文体意识。
