三.185 题库的处理
压缩题库:TWE 写作的准备是系统工程,考验资源整合能力。
1、相关题目归类整理材料,整合论点。㈠86→89→90→91;
㈡6→52→141(因此52 选择why 而不是how)→165evironment 例:
52.What change would make your hometown more appealing to people your age? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.Among diverse aspects that I want to change about my hometown is its environment.→(why & how?此处选why)
①A good environment will make people happier.(100 words)②A nice environment will make people healthier.(100 words)
③A perfect environment will make people more productive.(100 words)
Topic Sentence:TS, the improvement of which will make people happier, healthier, and even moreproductive.(主题句应当尽量暗示文章未来结构)㈢36→70 例:
70.Some people think that the automobile has improved modern life.Others think that the automobile has caused serious problems.What is your opinion? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.主题句应当值得解释、值得证明,故:
①汽车之类现代交通工具使市场上商品数量增多,方便流通; ②使商品价格降低;(运输成本降低,同种商品种类增加、竞争加剧)③甚至,汽车交通工具对我国妇女地位独立有很大帮助。最初想到:convenient & efficient,不值得解释、证明; 进一步问:so what?→人们活动范围增加,但仍不够; 进一步问:so what?→商品的活动范围增加→商品数量增加 因此,多想几步即可得到有效结论。
㈣15→18→46→179→93→62→103,基于ETS 出题的人群普适性和文化普适性。① To be a good _____ , one should have the intelligence.happier, healthier, ②To be a good _____ , one should be humor.more productive ③To be a good _____ , one should be reliable.理由、例子、思路的反复运用。

主要有第8、88、119、120 题。
分析方法:How come they have such an opinion? 即A→B 的因果关系是否过分简单化? ①A 不见得是B 的理由; ②A 不见得是B 的唯一理由; ② A 不见得是B 最重要的理由。例:
8.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

大家最熟悉的当然是 “for example” 和 “for instance” 了。这两个表达 法后面可以接名词性成分或者句子。还可以说 “take … for example”,比 如: “Let's take an extreme case for example.…” 用来修饰 “example” 的形容词很多,应该熟练掌握:
characteristic;classic;prime;representative;typical | excellent;fine;good;impressive;magnificent;outstanding;perfect;superb;wonderful | fascinating;interesting;intriguing;notable;remarkable;striking;graphic;vivid;dramatic;extreme;spectacular;clear;obvious;simple;straightforward;blatant;flagrant;glaring | familiar;famous;well-known;notorious;common;rare;much-quoted;oft-quoted;often-quoted | illustrative;helpful;illuminating;instructive;useful;practical | concrete;hypothetical 这里面要是你有哪个词不认识,那就一定要背下来,然后写作文的时候用上,这样你就用了一些―别人可能不用的词汇‖,显得稍微superior 了一点。能够对 “example” 发出的动作有 : give;provide;contain;include;cite;draw;take(sth.a s);f i n d。而 “example” 能够发出的动作有 : abound;demonstrate;illustrate;show 等等。
也可以直接让― 例子‖ 发出动作,比如这样的情况: The behavior ofMeerkats giving alarm calls clearly/well exemplifies the existence ofaltruism.有很多个例子的时候,用这样的表达法: “A, B, C, and so on.” 或者 “A, B, C, and etc..”如果是口语表达,比较常用的有“..., and something like that.”或者“...a n d s t u f f l ike that.” 有的时候,你可能在举了很多个例子之后想说―...就更不用提了。‖ 或 者― 更不消说… … ‖,那用的表达法是:“ not to men t i o n...” 或者 “let alone...”。
举例子的时候,可以先举几个例子然后再概括一下;或者反过来,先概括 之后列举几个实例。所使用的结构分别是: “A such(B)as X, Y and Z” ; 或者 “X, Y, Z, and other A”。例如:
History, philosophy, fundamental mathematics, and other abstractsubjects can be learnt mainly from books.Some subjects, such abstract ones as history, philosophy, andfundamental mathematics, can be learnt mainly from books.有的时候,举例子可能需要做出限定或者指定,那可以用 “as” 这个词,例如:“ A narrow, confining room, as in a prison or convent, wouldmake anyone nuts.” 能够用丰富的例子说明问题其实是一种能力,关键在于平时的刻意积累。如果你有能力举出很多例子,那就需要这样的句型: Examples abound in history/our daily life that… Examples /instances are countless/innumerable/numerous Stories abound of alcoho l i c s who flush their daily pill down the t o i l e t or “cheek” it, only to dispose of it later.Similar examples of “nuptial gifts” abound throughout the anima l world.History/Our daily life/This world abounds in examples which demonstrate… The list will go on.The list would be endless if we try to make an inventory of such examples.The litany of drug damage goes on and on.The list of profit-making, instinct-exploiting products is long.Self-image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious, shy, aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant, to name only a few personality traits.如果你举的例子非常经典,又显而易见,不妨使用这个句型: Remember that...(相当于― 记得… … 吧? ‖)
If we want to predict how aggressively a man will guard his wife, we need look no further than age.(… 想想 / 看看就可以了)Success requires a tenacious spirit and a drive to achieve.Nowhere is this more apparent in the entertainment business.Thousands of actors and actresses work tenaciously to have a career in the movies.But without beauty or talent, tenacity i s n ' t always rewarded, and only a few become stars.用最近发生的事情做例子:
An instance occurred recently in which…
如果举的例子是― 轶事‖、― 传说‖、― 某个学说‖ 之类的,那可以用这 样的句型: Legend/Gossip/Rumor/Words/A theory/A saying has it that...;As story goes:...;That's how the story goes.;或者Story goes...(g o e s 后面接完整的句子。例如: Story Goes Viral Alex Jones appears on CNN, poll says three-quarters plus support Sheen.)有的时候要用一些想象出来的例子说明问题,那用这些词开头: Consider;Imagine;Suppose;Say;Assume;或者在这些词后面直接 加上一个宾语或者一个宾语从句,比如 “Imagine a person who is worrying about his future.” 或者 “Suppose a person is worrying about his future.” 这样想象出来的 case,还可以用 sometimes , in some cases, in some specific cases 开头开始讲述。也可以用条件句型,“If…, ….” 或 者 “When…, ….” 以及,There are many cases in which…(有些情况 下… …); There are moments when …(有些时候… …);We all have met the cases in which…(我们都会遇到… … 的情况); We all have moments when…(有些时候我们都会… …)… …
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)
