托福寫作備考中，套用以前寫中文作文的習(xí)慣是比較常見的情況。今天小編給大家?guī)砹送懈懽鱾淇碱嵏矀鹘y(tǒng)作文思維要點(diǎn)介紹，希望可以幫助到大家，下面小編就和大家分享，來欣賞一下吧。
托福寫作備考顛覆傳統(tǒng)作文思維要點(diǎn)介紹
托福寫作詞句華麗不等于功底深厚
不知是否因?yàn)槭芰?xí)慣上“人靠衣裝，馬靠鞍”的說法，大多數(shù)中國(guó)考生在完成英文作文時(shí)把重心都投入到文章用詞用句的“奢侈華麗”上了，以為只有用了高級(jí)復(fù)雜的句式或是長(zhǎng)單詞才能給考官傳達(dá)“英文功底深厚”的信號(hào)。長(zhǎng)此以往，慢慢被自己卷進(jìn)復(fù)雜冗長(zhǎng)的句子中去，“并列句中套有定語(yǔ)從句，外加一個(gè)伴隨”等等不難找到，但事實(shí)上，在這個(gè)“陷阱”里，真正失利的卻正是考生。而相反的，如果能在英文寫作時(shí)注意句子長(zhǎng)短相結(jié)合搭配，不僅有清爽的感覺，反倒還更抑揚(yáng)頓挫，令考官的批閱由“糾結(jié)”變成為“享受”，如此一來，想不高分都難。
因此，建議各位考生在備考時(shí)不要忘記養(yǎng)成習(xí)慣，多閱讀英文原版的書籍或期刊，多積累地道的語(yǔ)句以便考試適用。相同道理下，各位考生在備考時(shí)也不用一定勉強(qiáng)自己背誦那些7-8個(gè)字母或以上組成的單詞，反倒可以多準(zhǔn)備些“簡(jiǎn)單但不失得體”的詞匯，如：weaken， taste， enjoy， ease等大家耳熟能詳?shù)暮?jiǎn)易詞匯，分別可以適用于weaken one’s eyesight(視力下降)，taste the foreign culture(品嘗外國(guó)文化)，enjoy a moderate rise(…緩慢上升)以及ease one’s burden(減輕壓力)等適用頻率較高的搭配上，如此一來效果更佳!
托福寫作要注意邏輯思維遞進(jìn)
準(zhǔn)備新托福獨(dú)立寫作除了注重語(yǔ)句詞匯方面的扎實(shí)，還更應(yīng)該把握好邏輯思維的遞進(jìn)。中國(guó)考生在寫英文作文時(shí)大多是進(jìn)行“翻譯”，而并非是“寫作”。在這種情況下，不可避免的就出現(xiàn)了許多中式化語(yǔ)言，更會(huì)融入不該出現(xiàn)的中式化的思維邏輯，看似十分的“跳躍，隨性”但并不適合新托福寫作要求的“層次，遞進(jìn)”。多注重自己“美式思維”的訓(xùn)練，盡可能地在寫作時(shí)向“Native Speaker”的思維靠近。只有抓緊訓(xùn)練好自己的邏輯思維能力，才能更好地在新托福寫作中取得25分以上的高分。而在訓(xùn)練過程中，大家注意“形連”和“意連”兩者相結(jié)合。所謂的“形連”即全文段與段之間體現(xiàn)層次邏輯的連接詞的合理運(yùn)用;“意連”則更側(cè)重全文思路內(nèi)容及邏輯上的真正連貫，不可“行不散卻神散”。新托福獨(dú)立寫作也考察大家對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)的把握，列出觀點(diǎn)后如何開展更多的論證，因此各位考生在備考時(shí)一定要注重細(xì)節(jié)論證，完全可以結(jié)合進(jìn)生活化的經(jīng)驗(yàn)和例子作為論證的好幫手，而無(wú)須將每個(gè)論點(diǎn)過于形式化，理論化，甚至空洞化。
托福寫作范文：要不要嘗試新事物
一些人 like to do only what they already do well. Other people prefer to 嘗試新事物 and take risks. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to 支撐你的選擇.
The choice between continuing to do only those things in which one is proficient and striking out into new, unfamiliar territory is difficult. There is comfort in remaining within familiar parameters, but growth happens only when we exceed those boundaries. Faced with the choice between only doing things that I know I do well and taking risks, I prefer taking risks for several reasons.
First, taking risks expands my range of knowledge and affords me the wisdom that comes through comparison. For instance, although I was born and raised in the United States until I was twenty years old, I have had the opportunity to live in three different countries since that time: Germany, China, and Great Britain. Had I decided to remain in the United States without taking the risk and challenge of adapting to different cultures and languages, my life would have been easier. However, the experience of living in varied countries with differing social morals and worldviews has enhanced my knowledge through comparison. Without living in other countries, I would not have the knowledge to critically examine my American upbringing, holding onto some values while discarding others. Furthermore, taking the risk of living in other countries has allowed me to gain a sense of empathy and understanding for cultures vastly different than my own.
Another reason that I prefer taking risks is that risks force me to grow. It is true that simply doing tasks that I do well would be a safe, prudent way to live life. However, taking risks compels me to expand my abilities. For example, although I was not a vocal player, my basketball coach asked me to be team captain for my final season in high school. I could have declined the offer, and remained in the background, but I chose to take the risk to lead the team. Through this experience, I learned valuable lessons in leadership, motivation, and discipline. More importantly, leading the team brought me closer to each individual player, many of whom I still count as my friends. Had I not accepted my coach’s call to captain the basketball team that season, I would have never learned these valuable lessons and developed these deeper friendships.
Taking risks has also taught me resilience in the face of failure. When I was entering graduate school, I needed money to finance my education. Consequently, I applied for several scholarships. Unfortunately, I was denied for almost all of them. However, by sticking my neck out, and applying for scholarship even when I was a long-shot candidate, I learned that scholarship committees were not rejecting me, but my application. This understanding that rejection of my scholarship applications was not a personal event enabled me to continue to apply to other scholarships without losing faith that eventually I would be successful. And, eventually, I was.
In conclusion, I prefer taking risks because doing so allows me to gain knowledge through comparison, forces me to grow, and has taught me to be diligent even if I fail at first. Taking risks is part of living. Without risks we would not be living.

托福寫作素材：種樹(保護(hù)環(huán)境)
1.While you probably think about planting trees for Arbor Day, you may not know just how much of an impact tree planting can have on your lawn and energy consumption as well as the environment.
Trees can provide shade for your home and lawn as well as a barrier against cold winter winds. They also filter water and air to reduce soil erosion and greenhouse gases. And did you know that trees have also been shown to reduce stress? Many urban residents find themselves calmer and happier when they are around trees.

Energy-saving benefits of planting trees
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a young, healthy tree can provide a net cooling effect equivalent to ten room-sized air conditioners operating for 20 hours a day! While it will take a few years for a newly planted sapling to reach the point where it can cast shade on your home, it’s a relatively low-cost investment, and you’ll find it’s worth the wait.
Dr. E. Greg McPherson of the Center for Urban Forest Research says that a new tree planted on the western side of your home will reduce your energy bill by about three percent in five years and by close to 12 percent in 15 years. Plus, shade isn’t the only way planting trees can reduce your family’s energy consumption. Trees located on the north and northwest sides of your home can block frigid winter winds and lower your heating bill.

Benefit of trees on the environment
While planting trees can certainly have a positive impact on your energy bill, sustainable gardening can also positively impact the environment. Trees absorb greenhouse gases like nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, ozone, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. They also convert carbon dioxide to oxygen through photosynthesis. Wondering how that relates to you? Just one tree can clean about 330 pounds of carbon dioxide from the air each year, according to the U.S. Forest Service, which provides enough oxygen for a family of four!
One of the reasons planting new trees is seen as sustainable gardening is because they act as air and water filters. In a study conducted by the USDA, it was found that trees were able to remove more than 1,800 metric tons of air pollution from New York City. The roots filter groundwater and control run off and erosion by holding soil in place. They also cool down the air, and not just with shade. The transpiration process they go through releases moisture into the air, producing a cooling effect.
4
Maintaining your trees and lawn
Trees are beneficial to the aesthetics of your lawn, your home’s energy bill, and your family’s overall health. For all these reasons, it’s important to properly maintain your trees and the soil they grow in. You don’t want to over-shape new trees or prune too much when you first plant them, but you will have a much healthier tree if you trim back dead branches over the years. There are several options when it comes to outdoor power equipment to maintain the trees you’ve planted. Chainsaws and pole saws are great choices for cutting down large limbs. They also work well for pruning, whether you need to allow for new growth or prevent branches from hitting obstacles like houses or power lines. There are even battery-operated, cordless saws available to reduce your carbon footprint even further.
The shade from the trees you’ve planted will help improve water conservation, so you’ll maintain a lush and green lawn with very little maintenance. However, you should still mow high and often, to avoid roots and promote new grass growth, being especially careful around the base of your trees. You may even want to spread mulch and compost to the drip line and maintain the edge with a string trimmer.
