眾所周知,托福綜合寫作的整個流程是比較復雜的,考生需要先在3分鐘內(nèi)讀完一段閱讀文字,之后再停一段聽力錄音,之后再根據(jù)之前讀過和聽到的內(nèi)容進行文章寫作。下面小編就和大家分享托福綜合寫作3分鐘閱讀環(huán)節(jié)3大注意事項不可不知,來欣賞一下吧。
托福綜合寫作3分鐘閱讀環(huán)節(jié)3大注意事項不可不知
托福綜合寫作閱讀環(huán)節(jié)注意事項:閱讀不能只看段落首尾句
3分鐘時間看閱讀內(nèi)容,而閱讀內(nèi)容的篇幅還不短,在這種情況下很多同學會感受到一定的時間壓力,也因此會下意識地就把做托福閱讀的快速讀文章技巧給使用出來,也就是大家很熟悉的文章各段落只看段落開頭和結(jié)尾句子的做法。對于托福閱讀文章來說,這種做法的確能夠有效幫助考生提升閱讀和理解文章的速度。但對于托福綜合寫作的閱讀卻并非如此。
大家需要明白的是,托福綜合寫作的閱讀內(nèi)容和之后的聽力內(nèi)容是存在很強的對應(yīng)關(guān)系性的。也就是說閱讀文章中每一個分論點的論述,都會在聽力中被逐一反駁,而反駁的就是這些分論點在具體論證分析過程中存在的邏輯漏洞。而這些具體論述的內(nèi)容一般不會在各個段落的首尾句子中出現(xiàn),都是在段落當中展開的。如果大家只盯著各個段落的首尾句看,雖然能很快看完全文,但因為缺乏對其中論述過程中的了解,就會給之后聽力中記錄反駁觀點以及寫作中闡述論點矛盾帶來很大的不便,省一時之力卻后患無窮,實在不是明智之舉。
正確做法是盡可能提升整體閱讀速度,保證在3分鐘內(nèi)較為完整地把整個閱讀部分的內(nèi)容都看一遍,并輔助以筆記記錄下論述的細節(jié)和重點,為之后的聽力和寫作提供參考信息。這樣才能有效保證對綜合寫作中閱讀部分包含信息較為準確全面的抓取和把握。
托福綜合寫作閱讀環(huán)節(jié)注意事項:閱讀1論點3理由不是固定結(jié)構(gòu)
做過一些托福綜合寫作題目的同學可能會注意到,托福綜合寫作中閱讀部分的結(jié)構(gòu)是較為固定的,一般來說都是1個論點+3個理由的構(gòu)成形式,當然這也符合標準學術(shù)性文章的結(jié)構(gòu)模式。但大家也不要想當然的認為所有托福綜合寫作的閱讀部分就一定都是這樣的結(jié)構(gòu)了。
根據(jù)討論話題的不同變化,這種1+3的結(jié)構(gòu)也有可能是1個話題主題+3種不同理論的展開,或是1個事物主體+3個問題缺點的形式。而由于對這些較為少見的結(jié)構(gòu)缺乏足夠的認識和了解,考生在突然遇到這類變種1+3的文章形式時可能就會因為沒有準備而在記錄信息和行文展開上出現(xiàn)問題,如果還是按照原來練熟了的寫法思路來套用,就會在寫作邏輯和用詞方面出現(xiàn)一定問題。
為了避免這類問題,小編還是建議大家能夠多看多練綜合寫作,特別是多看這一點,有些綜合寫作題即使考生來不及或者沒有安排練筆環(huán)節(jié),也請盡量把其中的閱讀文章讀一下,做一個簡單的結(jié)構(gòu)分析。綜合寫作的閱讀內(nèi)容看得閱讀,大家也就能更為熟悉其結(jié)構(gòu)變化,并積累更多的應(yīng)對經(jīng)驗了。
托福綜合寫作閱讀環(huán)節(jié)注意事項:3分鐘看不完之后20分鐘里再補?
最后一個考生需要在綜合寫作的閱讀環(huán)節(jié)中注意的細節(jié)屬于考生在考試策略上的問題。有些考生對于綜合寫作要在3分鐘內(nèi)讀完文章這個要求不以為然,因為按照流程,在聽完聽力開始正式寫作時,考生還是能夠在屏幕上繼續(xù)看到一開始給出的閱讀文章,于是這些同學就覺得3分鐘看不完也沒關(guān)系,之后寫文章的時候再看一下不就行了,反正還有20分鐘的寫作時間呢。這種想法可謂大錯特錯,而一開始沒看完閱讀文章的弊端,會給之后的聽力和寫作環(huán)節(jié)都帶來不利影響。
對于聽力環(huán)節(jié)來說,之前小編也說了托福綜合寫作的閱讀內(nèi)容和聽力內(nèi)容有很強的關(guān)聯(lián)性,可以說聽力就是為了反駁閱讀而存在的。如果大家對閱讀部分內(nèi)容沒有完整充分的理解,在聽力中原本應(yīng)該是逐個找反駁內(nèi)容進行記錄就變成了缺乏針對性的盲聽盲記??忌坏貌挥涗浵滤行畔Ⅻc之后再反過來去驗證閱讀內(nèi)容,先不說能否做到記下那么多內(nèi)容不出現(xiàn)遺漏,記錄質(zhì)量本身也會大打折扣,會給大家造成極大的抓取信息和記錄筆記的壓力。
而對于寫作環(huán)節(jié),為了彌補之前3分鐘閱讀的漏洞,考生也需要在20分鐘的寫作過程中不停地去回顧之前的閱讀部分去尋找對應(yīng)內(nèi)容,不僅在寫作時間上會變得更為緊張,有時候邊看閱讀邊寫文章,也難免不會出現(xiàn)直接把原文原句給順手抄上去的情況,而這種抄原文的做法可謂是綜合寫作的大忌,會造成很嚴重的扣分。
另外,大家不要覺得20分鐘寫文章時間很充裕。參加過??嫉耐瑢W應(yīng)該會有這種體會:哪怕20分鐘完全用來寫文章,很多時候也相當捉襟見肘,如果還得分時間給閱讀,簡直就是在給自己添亂找麻煩,還不如一開始的3分鐘就好好用足把文章看全看懂。
綜上所述,托福綜合寫作的3分鐘閱讀環(huán)節(jié),小編建議大家能夠端正態(tài)度認真對待,因為這關(guān)系到之后整個綜合寫作部分的順利進行和完成。上面提到的這些細節(jié)注意事項,還請大家提前了解并做好應(yīng)對準備。
托福寫作:題庫范文附思路解析
1. What kind of transportation you would choose? You need to travel from your home to a place 40 miles (64 kilometers) away. Compare the different kinds of transportation you could use. Tell which method of travel you would choose. Give specific reasons for your choice.
『分析』 [36]提供了option,但是不能選飛機(為了64公里的路而乘坐飛機有點ridiculous)。比較“步行(on foot; walk)”“汽車(automobile; car)”“自行車(bicycle)”。選擇bicycle可能更容易寫一些。
『范文』 If I need to travel to a place 40 miles away from my home, there are a number of different modes of transport I could utilize, namely, I could take the bus, a car, or the train. The bus is a good choice as the bus system in Beijing has been well-developed. It is possible for me to travel almost anywhere within 40 miles of my house by bus. While on the bus, I can read a book, or relax, assuming it is not too full. The problem with taking the bus, however, is that it is often crowded. It is often uncomfortable, especially during hot summer days. Taking a car is an excellent option, assuming one can afford a car. Cars are notoriously expensive in China, and most people do not have this luxury. However, if it is available, a car is very convenient. You can travel to the exact desired location in record time. A car, especially a personal car, is never crowded. You never have to share space with anyone. However, one cannot relax while driving a car. There is no opportunity to just take in the sights, or read a book. One must always be focused on the road. The train, or the subway, is another option. If the location I am traveling to is on the subway line, then this option is by far the best. While trains can be congested, they are the fastest method of traveling. Subway trains are never subject to traffic jams, as they usually run underground. However, the subway system in Beijing does not go everywhere that I need to. Often, if I take the subway, I then have to either walk for 20 minutes, or take a bus. Overall, I think that the car is the best option, if it is available. The car is convenient and comfortable. However, the bus and the train are both good options if a car is not available.
2. Should higher education be available to all students or only to good students? Some people believe that a college or university education should be available to all students. Others believe that higher education should be available only to good students. Discuss these views. Which view do you agree with? Explain why
. 『分析』兩個觀點都有些極端。所以,先分析,在選擇自己的立場。義務(wù)教育制度(institution of compulsory education )說明社會已經(jīng)認識到基礎(chǔ)教育(fundamental education) 對所有的人都是必需的。但是大學教育是不是所有人都需要的?這個社會很多職業(yè)(比如,飲食業(yè))不需要大學教育。讓所有的人都上大學,是不是成為過分的財政負擔(financial burden of the government)?用什么樣的方法確定一個學生good enough so as to deserve higher education? 考試?考試制度也有缺陷。可能選擇的立場比如:我們國家目前是需要更多的人接受大學教育。與此同時,一方面要保障大學教育的質(zhì)量,另一方面,要改革考試制度,保障考生的公平機會。
『范文』 Some people believe that only good students should have access to a university education. Others posit that higher education should be open to everyone, regardless of their academic abilities. I agree with the former opinion. Universities should only allow good students into their programs because these students value the importance of a good education and are interested in furthering their education. Furthermore, if all students were allowed into universities, the schools would quickly become saturated, and the quality of education received would diminish. A university education is very important to a good student. This type of student has set his/her sights on a university education from early on, and has put in the necessary work to earn a place in a good university. Poor students who did not try to achieve good grades in high school obviously do not care about their education, and therefore, do not deserve to go to university. However, if these poor students go back to school and improve their grades, they should also be allowed to go to university. Good students are very interested in furthering their education. They have put copious amounts of work into their education, and are interested in learning more. Poor students are usually not as interested in furthering their education. If they were interested in this, they would have tried harder to begin with. With that said, let us suppose for a moment that universities did allow all students, regardless of their grades, into university. The school would quickly become overfull, and good students, who really care about their education, would suffer because of it. They might not be able to get into the classes they want, and if they do get in, there might be so many students in the class that it is impossible to learn. In conclusion, I think that it is important to save a university education for those who really want it—good students. If a poor student wishes to go to university, then he/she will have to return to high school and improve his/her grades.
3. Learning about life: by listening to the advice of others or through personal experience? Some people believe that the best way of learning about life is by listening to the advice of family and friends. Other people believe that the best way of learning about life is through personal experience. Compare the advantages of these two different ways of learning about life. Which do you think is preferable? Use specific examples to support your preference.
『分析』兩個觀點都有些極端。所以,先比較分析,在選擇自己的立場。聽從他人勸告和建議的優(yōu)缺點:綜合許多人的看法,可能更容易得到正確的答案;但是久而久之(in the course of time; as time passes),可能會變得沒有主見(lose one's own judgment) 自己做決定、從自己的經(jīng)驗出發(fā)的優(yōu)缺點:可能不全面,但是能夠培養(yǎng)自己的觀察能力,分析能力。不同的事情,要有不同的選擇?!悍段摹?Some people believe that the best way to learn about life is to listen to the advice of friends and family. Others argue that the most beneficial way to learn about life is through personal experience. I want to maintain that learning about life through personal experience is the best way. I believe this because one usually does not learn well unless he/she experiences something on his/her own, because one can have different opinions and views on life man his/her family and friends, and because it is simply a more interesting way to learn. There have been many times in my life where a family member told me that life was a certain way, but I still wanted to see for myself. After having the experience, I agreed with what my family member had told me. However, I never regretted trying the experience for myself. I think one can learn something more completely if he/she experiences it for himself. When a family member or a friend tells me to do something, I value his/her opinion. However, there are some occasions when I do not fully agree with their opinions. In these cases, I want to try out the experience. There is a possibility that I will disagree with their conclusions on the topic. For example, if a friend tells me that a movie is terrible, I might still go to see the movie. It is more than possible that we will have differing opinions on whether the movie was good or not. Finally, I think it is important to learn about life through personal experience because it is a much more interesting way to learn. If one never experienced anything for oneself, life would be very boring. For example, a friend told me that Urumchi was a city that I would not enjoy visiting. He said there were not many attractions there, and there were many other beautiful places in China that I should go instead. In spite of this warning, I went to see Urumchi for myself. I did not think the city was spectacular, but I did have a good time on my trip, and was glad that I went. Having the experience of going to the place was worthwhile enough for me.
4. Follow the customs of the new country you are in, or keep your own customs? When people move to another country, some of them decide to follow the customs of the new country. Others prefer to keep their own customs. Compare these two choices. Which one do you prefer? Support your answer with specific details.
『分析』一定要進行比較。至于要選擇什么,看情況,要看是什么樣的習慣?比如中國人到了美國,就要習慣go Dutch的付賬習慣。不然很吃虧。但是慶祝春節(jié),家人在一起包餃子(dumpling)的習慣,沒有必要更改。還可以舉出很多例子。
『范文』 When one is settling in a new country, one has a choice of whether to assimilate into the new culture, or keep the customs of one's home. I think that the wisest decision is to try to integrate some of the new culture into one's own existing customs and beliefs. To understand this reasoning, we must first look at the advantages of both methods. If one moves to a new country, there are many advantages of following the set customs of the new place. By assimilating into the culture, one can break the cultural barriers much quicker. For example, if one were to move to Canada from China, one could easily live in one of the "Little China" areas, and to all intents and purposes, ignore the Canadian culture. This, however, would be a mistake, as it would close off all of the positive things that Canada has to offer. If one does not assimilate into the new culture, one cannot get a Western job. The person would also be missing out on a multitude of experiences, such as different food. Nevertheless, there are also many advantages of keeping one's own customs if one moves to a new country. Some people find it very difficult to leave their home and go to a new country. Keeping up old, familiar customs is very comforting. In addition to this, when one keeps their own customs, one finds it easier to meet others of the same nationality, which can also be a relief. When everything around you has changed, keeping your culture intact can be a very soothing way. By and large, I think it is best to assimilate to the new culture while retaining key elements of one's own culture. For example, one can make an effort to learn the language of the new country, while still speaking one's own language at home. This can actually be an excellent strategy, as speaking two languages is better than speaking one, no matter where you are in the world. When one takes on some of the new culture while keeping some of his/her own, one gets the excitement and opportunity of the new culture, while keeping the familiarity and ease of his/her own culture.
5. Spend time alone or with friends? Some people prefer to spend most of their time alone. Others like to be with friends most of the time. Do you prefer to spend your time alone or with friends? Use specific reasons to support your answer.
『分析』 [110]和[111]非常相像。休閑時間的活動包括:看書、聽音樂、看影碟、去電影院、去酒吧、聽音樂會、打牌、下棋、爬山、打球…… 有些活動適合獨自進行,有些活動需要特定數(shù)目的人手,還有些活動人越多越好根據(jù)不同的情況,就有不同的選擇。相關(guān)題目:[111]、[146]
『范文』 Some people enjoy spending most of their time with friends, while others prefer to be alone for the majority of the time. I prefer to spend most of my time with friends, because friends offer excitement and new ideas, they can console me when something bad happens, and spending too much time by myself can be boring. Friends can offer excitement and fresh ideas to a situation. No matter what I am doing, if a friend is there, it is more interesting. For example, if I am shopping, a friend makes the experience more fun. We can look at things together, and explore our likes and dislikes. Having a friend around also allows me to do some things that I would not be able to do otherwise. For instance, I can go with a friend to a park and play badminton. Some things are just impossible to do by myself. Friends can also console you if something bad happens. If I get bad news, and a friend is around, I do not have to feel badly by myself. A friend will try and cheer me up, and attempt to take my mind off whatever negative things happened. For example, last year I broke my leg and was in a cast all summer. I had friends around me to cheer me up and distract me from the misfortune. In addition to these reasons, I find that if I spend too much time by myself, I get lonesome and bored. As mentioned above, there are some things you just cannot do without friends around. Some of these things, such as sports, are my favorite activities. I do enjoy some activities that do not involve other people, such as reading. However, I find that I can do these things before bed, or when I wake up. Overall, I think having friends around me is the best way for me to spend my time.
