托福独立写作模板：善意的谎言

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Sometimes it is better not to tell the truth .Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

范文

I agree that sometimes it is better not to tell the truth. In some cases the truth is going to hurt someone and no good will be gained by it. If so， then I don't think that person should be told the truth. There are times when a person needs to know the truth in order to make an important decision， There are also times when telling the truth is the only way to help someone who's being self-destructive. However， often telling the truth only benefits the teller， not the person being told.

If someone has said something nasty about a person， those words don't need to be repeated. However， what if a person has told a shameful secret to a friend， and that friend has told the secret to others? Then that person needs to know that she can't trust her friend， Otherwise ，she might tell that friend other secrets.

What if someone is doing something self-destructive， like partying all night in college instead of studying? Then he needs to be told that this behavior is upsetting his friend who are worried about him. However， if he skips class and teacher asks his friend why he isn't there， it’s not necessary for the friend to tell the truth. He doesn't have to be， but he also doesn't have to give information about his friend's behavior. Sometimes people needs to know the truth before they can make an important decision. Suppose you're selling your house and you know there's water in the basement. Then you should tell the truth about that to anyone interesting in buying your house. If you don’t， you could be in trouble legally as well as ethically! However， you don't need to tell the truth about the cranky neighbor who lives next door. The neighbor may not be as cranky with someone else as he was with you. Sometimes It's better not to tell.

托福独立写作模板：守护濒危动物的家园

Some people think that human needs for farmland, housing, and industry are more important that saving land for endangered animals. Do you agree or disagree with this point of view? Why or why not? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

范文

In the past, there have been many endangered animals. Now they are extinct. Does it matter? Has our environment been affected by their absence? Has the quality of our own life been changed? The answer to these questions is “Yes.”

Yes. It does matter if we destroy an endangered species habitat to develop more farmland, housing or industrial parks. There is a delicate balance of nature. If one small part is removed, it will affect all the other parts. For example, if certain trees are cut down, bats will have no place to roost. If they cannot roost, they cannot breed. If there are no bats, there will be no animal, or bird to eat certain insects that plague our crops.

Yes. Our environment has been affected by the absence of certain animals. Certain flowers are pollinated by butterflies, which migrate from Canada to Mexico. Some of the breeding grounds of these butterflies were destroyed. Now these flowers are disappearing from certain areas. We will no longer be able to enjoy their beauty.

Yes. The quality of our life has been changed America used to be covered with giant trees. Now we have to visit them in one small park. Rain forests around the world are being cut down to make room for humans. We will never be able to see or study this fragile ecosystem.

I would encourage us humans to look for other alternatives for our farmlands, housing, and industries. We have alternatives; the animals do not.

托福独立写作模板：家庭与朋友

Which way do you think is the best for students to make new friends? A: Joining a sports team; B: Participating in community activities; C: Travelling.

范文

At present, it is widely believed, that students can make new friends in various ways. In fact, the best method to build friendship with each other has been a topic of public concern. Some people suggest that travelling is the best way to make friends with each other while others are in favor of participating in community activities. However, in my point of view, I prefer joining a sports team, which offers the most opportunities to individuals on making new friends.

Firstly, the chances provided by the sports team make the friendship between members easier to form. It is mainly because the training of the sports team usually has its regular schedule and the extensive agenda brings in many opportunities for members in the sports team to communicate, which leads to the relation between members prone to be turned into friendship. Taking Tom, one member I know in the basketball team of our school, as an example, he has made several close friends in his team. According to his feedback, the members in the team are demanded to take 14 hours of exercise every week, which is quite extensive for most members. During the break time of training, Tom and his team members find that they have many common interests, such as watching professional games like NBA, CBA, and so on. He told me that they are friends just like brothers now. Therefore, it can be ensured that the sports team will create numerous chances for its members to form strong friendships.

Secondly, the common goal the members share in the sport team can lead to stronger friendships within team members. The main reason is that the members can establish trust and tacit agreement during the process of achieving a common goal. Taking the basketball team where Tom plays as an example, their common goal is to win the state championship. Through multiple games to win the championship of 2012, the members achieved a better understanding about each other. In fact, every one learned many things about their team members’ merits and demerits, and even about their characters. Since knowing each other, they felt all members were trustful and even reached a tacit agreement about their members. In addition, the cooperation of them made their relationship tighter. When they finally won the championship, a sound friendship within each member has been formed. Consequently, the effect of a common goal in a sports team is undeniable and apparent and it indeed can be beneficial to lead to a strong friendship.

Admittedly, other methods to make friends might also be feasible. Taking part in community activities and travelling can make students’ social life more meaningful. However, considering the forming process of friendship, joining a sports team should be a more reasonable approach. Besides, community activities might be boring and travelling might cause some accidents.

In conclusion, I firmly insist on joining a sports team, rather than participating in community activities and travelling, is the best way for students to make new friends.
