托福寫作考試中時(shí)間不夠用的問(wèn)題是比較普遍的，很多同學(xué)雖然能夠根據(jù)題目寫出文章，但往往因?yàn)闀r(shí)間原因?qū)懙貌⒉缓?，觀點(diǎn)沒(méi)有充分展開(kāi)或者結(jié)尾草草收?qǐng)龅鹊取Ｏ旅嫘【幘秃痛蠹曳窒硗懈懽鲗?shí)戰(zhàn)速度如何提升，來(lái)欣賞一下吧。
托福寫作實(shí)戰(zhàn)速度如何提升?加強(qiáng)4個(gè)層面讓你寫得更快
提升托福寫作打字速度
其實(shí)小編絲毫不懷疑學(xué)生對(duì)鍵盤的熟悉程度，因?yàn)榻^大部分人中文聊天時(shí)速度已經(jīng)超神了。那為什么英文就是打不快呢?答案很簡(jiǎn)單，大家熟悉的是中文拼音的排列組合，很容易反映出這個(gè)聲母后面跟著的是哪個(gè)韻母，這個(gè)韻母后面又該跟哪個(gè)聲母。而英文就不行，考生對(duì)英文單詞的陌生感遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出了自己的想象，所以?？紩r(shí)總能看到他們不停地思考，不停地刪除重打，時(shí)間也就隨之流逝。
小編的建議是，每天半小時(shí)，電腦左右兩邊各一word文檔，左邊是英文材料，從詞匯到句型到段落到篇章，右邊是空白文檔。先邊看邊打，再試著把左邊遮去，這樣反復(fù)操練，既提升了速度，又鞏固了詞句，提升了語(yǔ)感，說(shuō)不定還能順便背下幾個(gè)好的段落。
準(zhǔn)備思維模板套路
一個(gè)好的模板毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)能夠幫助大家節(jié)省時(shí)間。但小編并不推薦直接背英文模版，然后考試直接往里填單詞的做法。這樣做的危害實(shí)在太大了。首先對(duì)考生寫作能力提升來(lái)說(shuō)這是一個(gè)很不負(fù)責(zé)任的做法。其次對(duì)提分來(lái)說(shuō)更不現(xiàn)實(shí)，因?yàn)镋TS考官甚至包括E-rater(電腦閱卷)都很容易識(shí)別出模板舉行，而且模版屬于別人，與你的寫作風(fēng)格和用詞習(xí)慣格格不入，這不是簡(jiǎn)單地填幾個(gè)單詞就能解決的。
小編在這里所指的是一個(gè)“思維模版”。你在寫作前需要對(duì)議論文開(kāi)頭主體結(jié)尾段中地每一部分你需要往哪個(gè)方向?qū)懞拖氡磉_(dá)什么意圖掌握得非常清楚。拿開(kāi)頭為例，大家可以通過(guò)時(shí)間對(duì)比，經(jīng)歷描述，引言，數(shù)據(jù)，背景，設(shè)問(wèn)等等方式來(lái)建立模板?？忌恍枰空莆?，因?yàn)閷?shí)際考試只有一個(gè)開(kāi)頭，你不需要掌握所有方法，但要用精其中一種。
有的考生會(huì)把自己的“思維模板”精確到每句話，如開(kāi)頭第一句話寫大背景，第二句話由大背景過(guò)度到解題關(guān)鍵詞，第三句話讓步分析反方理由加列舉現(xiàn)象，第四句話引出自己觀點(diǎn)。他就會(huì)在平時(shí)練習(xí)中反復(fù)訓(xùn)練這種模式，所以考試的時(shí)候能保持一個(gè)異常清晰地思路，從而節(jié)省大量思考徘徊時(shí)間。
具備合適的破題切入角度
比較公認(rèn)的一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)是，英文寫作不好的考生，中文寫作也不見(jiàn)得會(huì)好。托福獨(dú)立寫作雖然話題簡(jiǎn)單，卻考察著考生較強(qiáng)的問(wèn)題地解釋和分析能力，雖然不需要有多深刻，但一定要具體有道理。為自己的觀點(diǎn)想理由成了很多考生頭疼的問(wèn)題，要么是想不出來(lái)，要么就是解釋的沒(méi)有邏輯沒(méi)有條理。從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)看，多閱讀和多思考，多參加一些能鍛煉思辨能力的活動(dòng)是非常有效的途徑。但如果想短期提升思考速度，就必須掌握一些常見(jiàn)問(wèn)題的常規(guī)思考角度。
大家可以嘗試自己歸納一些常見(jiàn)地破題角度，舉個(gè)例子，一旦碰到“給錢”這個(gè)話題，大家可以先分兩個(gè)大角度：給錢者和被給錢者。給錢者之所以出錢，第一對(duì)自身有好處，第二對(duì)方值得我給。對(duì)自身的好處又可分為兩點(diǎn)來(lái)討論，一是實(shí)的，二是虛的。如果這個(gè)“給錢者”是政府國(guó)家，“實(shí)”就成了稅收、三大產(chǎn)業(yè)、就業(yè)、基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施等角度，“虛”就成了形象、面子、精神、美等角度。其他還可以細(xì)分，在這就不便多講?？忌灰莆找环N破題方法，自然能夠舉一反三，迅速想出理由，提高解題速度。
儲(chǔ)備充足的寫作素材
材料就是文章的內(nèi)容，這里只說(shuō)一點(diǎn)，考生一定要有一個(gè)自己的材料庫(kù)，哪怕是編的，平時(shí)編好總勝過(guò)臨場(chǎng)發(fā)揮。有人會(huì)說(shuō)我沒(méi)有例子，小編認(rèn)為這是不可能的。托福寫作題目是有它自身的合理性，它能保證任何一個(gè)有過(guò)生活學(xué)習(xí)經(jīng)歷的人都能完整地寫出一篇好作文。
在這里大家不要擔(dān)心自己的事例故事不夠新穎不夠深刻，托福寫作重點(diǎn)考察的是學(xué)術(shù)環(huán)境下的語(yǔ)言交流，而不是閱讀量和思想的深刻性。只要你能把觀點(diǎn)表達(dá)清楚，證明清楚，具體用什么證明根本不重要，合理即可。
托福寫作：存錢習(xí)慣
【題目】
Is it better to enjoy your money when you earn it or is it better to save your money for some time in the future? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
【范文】
The Advantages of Saving Money
Everyone must work to live, but many people are fortunate enough to make more money than they immediately need. What should they do with this extra income? While it is tempting for people to spend it all on things they desire, I believe it is better to save at least a portion of the extra income for the future.
By saving money, people give themselves more security. They cannot predict the future; perhaps one day they will be jobless. At a time like this their savings can spare them a great deal of suffering and help to see them through the hard time. In addition, saving money allows people to build up a larger sum. They can then buy something more worthwhile than the small things they can but if they spend the money right away. For example, they may be able to buy a house with their savings. Finally, the practice of saving helps people develop the habit of setting goals and planning for their future. In this way they are bound to lead more meaningful and successful lives.
Most people would like to enjoy their money immediately. Nobody likes to wait for the things that he wants. However, if we learn to save our money, we can gain more advantages in the future. We will lead more secure and, thus, happier lives. We will also be able to buy the things we truly want but cannot afford right now.
【參考譯文】：存錢的好處
每個(gè)人都必須工作以求生存，但是有許多人很幸運(yùn)，能夠賺得比他們立即需要的還要多的錢。他們應(yīng)該如何處理這些額外的收入呢?盡管把錢全花在自己想買的東西上是很誘人的，但我認(rèn)為最好至少把一部分的額外收入存起來(lái)，以備將來(lái)之需。
通過(guò)存錢，人們能獲得更多的安全感。未來(lái)是無(wú)法預(yù)測(cè)的，或許有一天我們會(huì)失業(yè)。碰到像這樣的情況，存款可以讓我們免去許多痛苦，幫助我們渡過(guò)難關(guān)。此外，存錢可以使人積累較多的錢，可以用于買更有價(jià)值的東西，比馬上把錢花掉所能買到的東西更有用。例如，我們可以用存款買房子。最后，存錢能幫助我們培養(yǎng)設(shè)定目標(biāo)及為未來(lái)作計(jì)劃的習(xí)慣。如此一來(lái)，我們一定會(huì)過(guò)著更有意義并且更成功的生活。
大部分的人會(huì)想要馬上享用手邊的錢。沒(méi)有人想等到以后再買想要的東西。然而，如果我們學(xué)會(huì)存錢，未來(lái)可以獲得更多的好處。我們將過(guò)著更有安全感而且更快樂(lè)的生活。我們也能購(gòu)買我們真正想要但現(xiàn)在無(wú)法負(fù)擔(dān)的東西。

托福寫作素材之天賦還是后天努力
Anonymous asks, "Which is more important to success, talent or hard work?"
When Talent Fails
Countless talented people fail. They are better equipped through some natural gift, some set of experiences, or through training. It is clear to everyone around them that they have greater competencies and greater abilities. Almost all of these talented people recognize that they are more talented than their peers.
The reason these talented people fail has nothing to do with their lack of talent and everything to do with their unwillingness to put that talent to work. Talented people sometimes believe that talent alone is enough to succeed. But being unwilling to do the work, they fail.
When Hard Work Fails
Some people who work very hard fail, but not nearly as often as the talented person who is unwilling. A hard worker tends to produce results through the sheer force of will. They're willing to just keep at something until they produce some result.
When hard workers fail it is because they believe that working hard alone is enough. Because they don't work at learning more and improving their effectiveness, they fail. I have seen many a hard-working salesperson fail because, despite their willingness to work, they wouldn't work on developing their chops.
Talent + Hard Work
The question anonymous asks supposes that talent and hard work are mutually exclusive, that you can be one or the other. But the most successful people are the talented people who work hard putting those talents to good use. They are matched only by the hard worker who is thoughtful enough to learn quickly, make distinctions that produce better results, and hustle to grow their overall competencies.
The only choice to made is whether you are going to work hard if you are gifted with some talent, or whether you are going to develop yourself and learn if you are a hard worker who lacks the natural talent.
