分享新托福独立写作话题范围
根据对去年50多场托福考试的分析,我们能总结出独立作文话题围绕的范围在:教育、领导、儿童、环境、生活、工作、成功、政府、道德等方面,话题还是比较贴近我们日常生活学习的,也有很多是讲人生哲理和道理的,而我们前人已经给我们总结出了许多富有哲理,语言优美,同时又通俗易懂的名言警句,我们在写作文时,可以适当引用,放句首作为背景或话题引入,亦或是放段落中间作为论证方法,都是不错的选择。上次给大家分享了教育、环境、领导三个方面的名言妙语,这次朗阁托福培训名师给大家分享工作和健康。
关于工作
考题回顾:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
People work because they need money to live.题目翻译:你同意与否?人们工作往往由于他们需要钱生活。
解析:对很多同学来说,第一反应可能就是金钱是工作的第一驱动力(the primary motivation),这也很符合马斯洛的人类需求原理(theory of Maslow),马斯洛认为人们最基本的需求是钱、睡眠和住所(Maslow theorized that people have the basic needs such as money, sleep and shelter.),但是仔细去想人除了为钱工作或者满足了生活基本需求之后的工作都有其他含义在里面的,比如说,满足感(satisfaction),对工作的喜爱(passionate toward work)都能是人们工作的原因。这时候你就可以实时地用上几句非常优美地道的名言妙语:
1.The fact remains that the overwhelming majority of people who have become wealthy have become so thanks to work they found profoundly absorbing.The long term study of people who eventually became wealthy clearly reveals that their “luck” arose from accidental dedication they had to an arena they enjoyed.事实仍旧是,绝大多数已变得富有的人要归功于他们认为具有巨大吸引力的工作。对最终成为富人的人进行长期研究后清楚地发现,他们的“运气”来自于他们偶然投入自己所热衷的领域。
--史·布洛特,美国作家、记者Srully Blotnick(1941-2004)
2.Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.工作中的快乐使工作完美。
--亚里士多德,古希腊哲学家Aristotle(384 BC-322 BC)
3.It has been my experience that one cannot, in any shape or form, depend on human relations for lasting reward.It is only work that truly satisfies.我的经验是,一个人不能,以任何形式或方式,依赖人际关系取得永久的回报。只有工作才能带来真正的满足。
--贝特 戴维斯,美国演员Bette Davis(1908-1989), The Lonely Life
4.Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.不要雇佣因为钱而为你工作的人,应雇佣因为热爱你的工作而为你工作的人。
--亨利·戴维·梭罗Herry David Thoreau(1817-1862),美国作家、社会批评家
关于健康
考题回顾:
Which of the following would you change to improve your health: 1.the kind of food you eat 2.the amount of exercise 3.The amount of stress
题目翻译:你愿意做以下哪个来提高你的健康:1.你吃哪种食物;2.运动量;3.压力大小。
解析:同学们看到这个觉得好难抉择啊,好像通过改变这三项都可以达到提升自己的健康,比如说日常的锻炼防止了很多疾病的产生,例如高血压、心脏病、中风、心血管等危险疾病(Daily physical activity can help prevent heart disease and stroke by strengthening your heart muscle, lowering your blood pressure, raising your high-density, improving blood flow, decreasing the risk for peripheral vascular disease, and increasing your heart’s working capacity.还有很多类似的好处如:减肥,糖尿病等。It can also reduce body fat, which is associated with high blood pressure.By reducing body fat, physical activity can help to prevent and control this type of diabetes.)
再比如说改变饮食方式,如多吃素食,如坚果、全麦食品,也可以给人们的健康带来很多益处,例如降低心血管、肥胖等危险疾病发生几率,预防癌症等。(Maintaining a well-balanced vegetarian diet is healthy and can be beneficial by reducing the risk of diseases, particularly cardiovascular diseases and obesity.Eating variety of soy, nut, or wheat based products can substitute for certain meat dishes and dairy products by providing the needed nutrients those normally provide.)
就是减少压力相对来说对健康难写一点,但会给人们带来身体的放松,心情的愉悦,对心理健康是很有益处的。
而同学们也可以插入名言妙语:
1.Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness.那些认为自己没有时间锻炼的人迟早会为疾病寻找治疗的时间。
--爱德华·利,英国诺维奇主教Edward Stanley(1779-18949)
2.Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.没有什么能够比弘扬素食更有益于人类,更能增加我们在地球上的生存机会。
--艾伯特·爱因斯坦Albert Einstein(1879-1955),德裔美籍著名理论物理学家、20世纪最伟大的科学家之
一、相对论的发现者
即使你有很多可以选择并且可以写的句子,但是还是要摆正观点,选择自己擅长去写,并且对比说明为什么你选这个而不选那个,比如说这题你说选择运动,就要说明即使饮食会带来不健康,可是运动可以解决饮食不健康的问题,充足而适当的运动可以减少肥胖,糖尿病等,并且也是用减压的方式,因此你选择了运动。
此次就给大家分享到这,下次再给大家分享其他话题的解析和名言妙语。
第二篇:常见的新托福独立写作话题名言妙语
常见的新托福独立写作话题名言妙语
(本文做主朗阁海外考试研究中心:黄蓉,由成都朗阁上传,转载请注明出处)
通常,在新托福独立作文中,考生往往会遇到许多不同的话题。但基本上以教育、领导、儿童、环境、生活、成功、政府、道德等比较贴近我们的日常生活和学习的话题为主,当然也有很多是讲人生哲理和道理的。而我们的前人已经给我们总结出了许多富有哲理、语言优美,同时又通俗易懂的名言警句,我们在写作文时,可以适当引用,放在句首作为背景或话题引入,亦或是作为论据放在段落中间,都是不错的选择。下面朗阁海外考试研究中心的专家给大家介绍一些有关教育、领导、环境等话题的可用名人妙语。
一、关于教育
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: It is better to choose a university whose graduates have good job opportunities than a university who has famous professors.题目翻译:选择有好的工作机会的学校还是选择有知名教授的学校?
思考:那么知名教授对比工作机会,能给学生带来更多的什么呢?
从古至今人们一直在讨论老师这个角色给我们带来的春风雨露,因此有大量的名言值得大家借鉴,比如以下这句就可以放在作文的开头作为引起考官兴趣的段子:
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.Teach a man to create an artificial shortage of fish and he will eat steak.-------jay leno
翻译:授人以鱼只救一时之急。授人以渔则解一生之需。授人竭泽而渔,则其将另觅他食。这里,授人以鱼可表示一个好的工作机会的offer, 而授人以渔可以表示普通老师的教授方法,而授人竭泽而渔,则可表示知名教授不一样的教学方法,同学们引入了之后便可对这句话进行适当解释,进而引入话题,表明观点等,就能把文章的亮点凸显出来。
二、关于环境与发展
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Governments should focus more on preservation of environment rather than economic development.翻译:你是否同意:政府应该关注环境保护而不是经济发展。
思考:大家都知道环保的重要性,如果你能用上几句这样诗般的话作为开头引入与表明观点,考官一定大加赞赏:
There is a proverb going like this:
Only when the last tree has been cut down.Only when the last river has been poisoned.Only when the last fish has been caught.Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.-----北美印第安克里族预言
只有当最后一棵树被砍了
只有当最后一支河流被污染了
只有当最后的鱼被抓了
只有这个时候你才会发现钱不能吃。
这几句话非常切题,恰到好处地证明了环境保护和经济发展之间的关系:环境破坏给人们带来的灾难是经济无法弥补的。
或者也可以将这样一句意味深长的名言放在文章的中间作为例证:
When the well’s dry, we know the worth of water.------Benjamin Franklin
当井水枯竭时,我们方可知道水的价值:即水的价值不是钱能衡量的。
三、关于领导
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: The most important character for a politician or leader is good communication skills.题目翻译:你是否同意:一个政治家或领导最重要的特点是拥有良好的沟通技能。
对于领导这个话题,有很多名言可以参考,考生可以在确定观点后再选择名言。一个政治家或首领需要具备的素质有很多,如:决策力、沟通能力、亲和力、组织能力等。
如果你觉得最重要的是决策力,则可用以下名言表达观点:
If I had to sum up in one word what makes a good manager, I’d say decisiveness.You can use the fanciest computers to gather the numbers but in the end you have to set a timetable and act.-------lee Iacocca(实业家)
翻译:如果一定要我用一个词概括出什么让一个人成为优秀的管理者,我会说是决断力。你能用最高级的电脑收集数据,但最终你还得设立一个时间表并采取行动。
这句话恰到好处的表达出为什么决策力是最重要的,没有决策力其他再怎么准备也没有用。
还有一些关于领导需要具备的素质的名言可供大家参考,如充分信任部下,激励他人等等,都可以作为考生所认为的最重要的素质:
The best leader is the one who has the sense to surround himself with outstanding people and self-restraint not to meddle with how they do their jobs.翻译:最出色的领导能有意识的让杰出的人围绕在他身边为他做事,并能控制住自己不去干预他们的工作。
Management is nothing more than motivating other people.翻译:管理无非是激励他人。
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Talented people’s leadership is inborn and can’t be learned by people.题目翻译:你是否同意:领导才能是天生的,不可后天学习。
思考:到底领导才能是天生的还是学出来的?我们来看看肯尼迪大总统这个伟大的领导者怎么说:
Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.-------John F.Kennedy
领导能力和学习这两者是不可或缺的。
因此下面只要论证学习是很重要的,好的领导也是靠一部分学习练成的即可。
第三篇:托福 TPO31独立写作
托福 TPO31独立写作题目
Question: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Because the world is changing so quickly, people now are less happy or less satisfied with their lives than people were in the past.Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.托福 TPO31 独立写作范文 :
In modern society, there is no denying that our paces speed up.A small proportion of people who cannot keep up with this trend or resist the world for the fittest, may hold a viewpoint that a mutable society leads people to less satisfaction and mitigation of sense of happiness since such a world might cause the alienation between good fellows and contamination of our environment;however, in my view, it is not the case.As a matter of fact, in a world changing more rapidly, people tend to become satisfied much more easily.First illustration which can demonstrate my opinion can be the trail of technological development.In the past five decades, millions of new inventions had appeared, entering our daily life, making it much more convenient.To name a good example, in 1896,Benz assembled the first three-wheel car in the world.Though it brought accidents and mortality to the world, we cannot deny the enjoyment of ferocious speed brought by cars, which made our jaunt convenient.We can simply drop by a old friend 100 miles, a distance taking at least half day before, away in one hour.Another good instance is the invention of smart phone.in 1972, Martin, the chief engineer in Moto devised the first portable telephone.Then, this innovation revolutionized out life.Just simply imagine what our life looked like without cell phones: people could not keep contact with their friends and exigent messages might be blocked.Then in 2007, Steve Jobs brought iPhone with Facetime to the world.The most significant aspect of Facetime is that this app allows us to communicate with actual image, not just voices.Then, how can we state that modern society steals the sense of fraternity among people? Second demonstration which can help me develop my view that a rapidly changing society makes people more satisfied is the use of new energy resources.We may still remember the Great Smog, one of the gravest air pollution accidents in our history due to the heavily gathered inversion layer of sulfur dioxide originated with burning of coal in 1950s, London.People died of respiratory diseases after inhalation of poisonous air.How can they live happily in a world brimmed with pollutions? But nowadays, we have developed new energy resources to tackle this problem such as hydropower and wind power.To name an example, in 2007, nuclear power plants generate 14% of the total electricity of the US, thus saving tons of coals and reducing the level of inhalable particles.Recently, governments and organizations have taken measures to support researches of renewable resources and to find substitutes for fossil fuels.Natural reserves and sanctuaries are established, places of interest and spots are refurbished, and factories and manufacturers with pestilent exhaust are shut down.People therefore are provided with much more opportunities to relax by enjoying the beauty of nature.To draw a conclusion, in a world that is rapidly changing, we are offered a variety of brand-new experiences and highly evolved products, which make life much easier than before.We are in a world filled with convenience brought by high technologies that develop so fast.Then, how can we blame on the changing world while enjoying happiness and satisfactions originated from them?
第四篇:新托福tpo28独立写作
Topic: parents are more involved in their children’s education than the parents in the past.It is not uncommon to see that parents are have incredible zael to participate into their children’s education in many perspectives.At contemporary society, parents always take part in some semilars that are related to students’s study and force their children to join the extra-curricula classes which can help their chldren to improve acdemic performance.Therefore, as far as I am considerd, nowadays, parents’ involvement in kids’ study is much more emphasized than ever before.Compared with the parents in the past,parents at present, have a strong will to make their children more competent in the future career.With the development of the society, the compitition in the modern society is increasingly fierce than ever before.Every parents want their children not only can survive in the compitition but also want them to be successful in the future.Hence, those parents take pains to achieve this ambitions on their own way and consequently, because they think education is the gateway to seccess, they should be involved in their children’ s study and help their children as well.On the contrary, because of the low living standre, parents in the past only think how to bring chilren up and let them survive, so there is no time for them to have such ambitions.Therefore, it is reasonable for us to think that parents nowdays are more interseted in children’s education.Additionally, it is universally acknowledged that in the modern era, parents have a extremely high expectation than in the past.Parents want their children to be versatile and prominent, which lead most part of children can not achieve this goal at all, thus, under this circumstance, parents will help children in personally that of course include preants’ participation in children’s study.By contrast, in the past, parents just make their children free and let them do what they want.Parents will not discipline children unless they make blunder.So, we can draw a conclusion that the untouchable expectation make parents involve more in the children’s study.In conclusion, because the increasingly competitive society and high expectation make parents nowdays have more zeat in children’s study and take part in it actively.But, from my perspective, parents should give enough space for children to manage their own study.
第五篇:托福独立写作作文修改
独立5-现象证明P21 2010.10.31NA Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People are now easier to become educated than in the past.Education is the foundation of a country.People today have a stronger concept(搭配不当,改为sense)of being educated than in the past.I agree with the statement that people gain an easier access to all kinds of educations at current times.Firstly, there are much more schools available today than in the past.No matter where you live, in big cities or in the countryside, the local government spends a large amount of money on the constructions of various types of schools, such as primary schools, middle schools, high schools and even schools for adults.More and more universities and colleges have been built to ensure higher education for top students.If you want to study in schools, you will always find a proper one to attend.Secondly, the teaching approach diversifies(there are diversified teaching approaches).Except for(In addition to包括在内)blackboard and chalks, many advanced teaching devices are being used today in most schools, including computers, multi-media and some other instruments.Moreover, labs and libraries have also come into use for students to study deeper and wider(who want to make a deeper and wider study on the fields they are interested in).What is more, the teachers' teaching levels are greatly improved by communicating with other educators from all over the world.The technology becomes more developed than in the past, so it is easier now to study.Thirdly, people have equal rights to receive education.As we all know, people in the past were in terrible discrimination because of their sex and race(many people such as women and the black people were denied the right to education because they were discriminated against in the society because of their sex and race.两句合起来)For example, women and black people were used to be considered as people in lower classes or even slaves and weren't allowed to go to school.However, they have equal rights to study in schools nowadays.(要回到主题,和更容易接受教育要直接联系起来,所以再加一句)Obviously, these people surly have easier access to education.To sum up, almost everyone today has equal rights to go to all kinds of schools with diversified teaching approaches.So people do have an easier way to receive education now than in past times.The reasons above firmly support my opinion(最后一句话不够有力,可以将三点简明扼要的用一句话概括).(Word Count: 294)独立8-包含因果关系P15 2010.3.20NA Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People today can solve many important problems so they do not need help from the government.With the development of the society, people can do more things by themselves nowadays(于什么时候比较?)than in the past.But I disagree with the statement that people can solve many important problems, therefore the government does not need to help them(therefore they need not depend on the government for any support).There(are)three reasons as follows:
Firstly, People today still cannot solve many important problems by themselves in fact in terms of education, unemployment, war, starvation, poverty and so on.These are international problems all over the world, so a single person or even a group of people may not have the abilities to solve(be capable of solving)them.For example, if a man wants to stop a war between two countries, even he is powerful or wealthy, he(he, however wealthy and powerful,)cannot prevent them from fighting with each other without the help of others.Secondly, people today need more help from the government.As the life standards are getting higher, people have more requirements than before.They ask for all kinds of utilities for entertainment or exercise in public places.They need various insurance to make their lives more comfortable.They also require more schools and hospitals to take care of the young people and patients(the sick).Thirdly, whether people today can solve many problems or not has nothing to do with whether they need the government's help.It is the responsibility of the government to help people.The government must give people help no matter how powerful they are.In a word, the statement that people today do not need help from the government because they can solve many important problems is wrong.The reasons above can firmly support my idea.(260w)
独立1-包含should, important, necessary的简单话题
P75 2009.5.30 Younger school children(aged between five and ten)should be required to study art and music in addition to math, science, history and language.In order to broaden the horizon of younger school children, it is suggested that they should study art and music as well as other common courses.I agree with it because of the following reasons.First of all, art and music can help students to relax.Campus life is stressful even for younger children who aged between five and ten, with all kinds of homework and assignments.However, by having music and art classes, students can get a much-needed escape from the heavy work.It can help them to relax their mind and study more efficiently in other classes.Second, music and art classes help improve students' interpersonal relationships.Students will meet together to talk about a same topic if they have common interests.For example, students attending art classes can talk about the masterpiece or life story of a famous painter.Students having music classes will enjoy the beautiful melody or sing songs together.By communicating with each other, they will build a strong friendship and learn how to behave in various situations.Third, music and art classes provide students with plenty of information about great artists and their works.By learning knowledge in artistic fields students can acquire different cultures from different countries.The artists and musicians describe what they see or hear in their works, showing feelings meanwhile, which bring the students the atmosphere at that time.To sum up, art and music classes should be taken by younger school students to broaden their horizon.(248w)
独立2-包含比较(better, prefer)的简单话题
P24 2010.10.9NA Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People can take care of their family members better when they live in big cities than in the countryside.No matter where people live, in big cities or in the countryside, they must take care of their family members.Basically I prefer the former one.Living in big cities has more advantages than living in the countryside.Firstly, for old people, living in big cities can be convenient.There are a large number of hospitals which are available to all kinds of diseases.When the old people catch a cold, have a fever or even heart attack, they could be taken to the best hospital nearby and received treat in time and recover as soon as possible.But in the countryside, situations in hospitals are obviously terrible.Secondly, children should receive good education, so living in big cities is a wise choice.Schools in big cities which get finance support from(the)government provide sufficient teaching facilities for the students in order that the students can study more easily and do more experiments.Moreover, the teaching levels of the teachers in big cities are higher on average than that of the teachers in the countryside.Admittedly, Living in big cities may have a few downsides.For example, the air may be not as fresh as it in the countryside and the noise may make people crazy sometimes.However,(the)government is taking measures to prevent the pollutions and people are also becoming aware of the importance of environmental protection.It is sure that the problems can be solved in the future.In a word, people can take care of their family members much better when they live in big cities than in the countryside, because advanced society welfares are everywhere in big cities.(Word Count: 272)
独立7-包含绝对词(never, always, only ,no longer,最高级等).P92 2007.8.4 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Printed books will no longer exist.With the development of technology, digital books are increasingly coming into use while printed book are less used in our lives.It has been argued that printed books will no longer exist in the future.I disagree(with this opinion)although the statement has a grain of truth.First of all, admittedly, digital books have some advantages over printed books.First, it is cheaper to download a digital version from the internet than to buy a hardcover printed book.You may download Harry Potter for only half the price of the paper version.Second, the digital book is very convenient for us to carry because it is much lighter than the printed book.We can download thousands of articles into our mp4 or electronic books to read them everywhere instead of carrying several heavy books.However, to say that printed books will disappear from our lives in the future is unacceptable.First, hardcover printed books are worth collecting.They are usually very valuable with their beautiful covers and plentiful contents.Second, the printed books made by(of)papers are good for people's eyes.If we stare at a digital book all the time, our eyes will be tired or even hurt.Reading for a long period may do enormous harms to people's health, especially to children.Third, printed books are of great importance in some special ceremonies.They are usually the symbols of holy things.It is ridiculous for a minister to read with a digital book in a church.To sum up, although the digital books are more and more useful, it is sure that printed books will exist forever.(267)
