托福考试的口语和写作部分没有统一标准性答案,完全是按照评分标准来评分,这有可能存在不合理的情况,遇到这种情况,ETS提供成绩复议,那么托福成绩复议的方法和流程是怎么样的呢?

托福写作如何复议

托福写作如何复议

一、托福成绩哪种情况适宜复议:

每次考完托福,都会有同学纠结口语或作文该不该复议,复议了分数会不会突然涨很多。大家的心情可以理解,但是自己当时发挥如何,只有自己最清楚,别人的经验对自己没有任何帮助。复议不是提分手段,只是给你一个重新公正评审的机会。如果同时符合以下两个条件的同学可以考虑申请复议:

1、其它分数很高,单项成绩很低,比考生自己预想的成绩低。

2、申请的时间允许,因为复议需要4-6周的时间。

注意:

①托福成绩复议是有风险的,复议可能会加分,同样可能会降分,一旦降分将无法挽回!

②只有口语和作文是可以复议的。但许多同学遇到听力或阅读只得到个位数成绩的情况。如对听力或阅读成绩提出质疑,请与教育部考试中心:010-62798822及ETS Service:或001-877-863-3546或001-609-771-7100联系。

想口语复议的考生可以回忆一下考试时的发挥,以及对照高分的EXAMPLE ANSWER来决定是否复议。也有说法是说如果其他三项的分数都很高,口语复议加分的可能性比较大。

作文方面,有的时候自己认为写的很不错的文章,拿给别人一看就会被挑出很多毛病,所以作文的主观感觉有时不是很准。可以参照OG上的评分标准。如果平常的文章就有一些语法错误和拼写错误的话,真正考试的时候只会多不会少,提分的可能性就不大。

二、申请托福成绩复议的时间:

考试结束后三个月内,可对写作和口语考试成绩提出复议。可申请写作或口语单项复议,也可同时对两项提出申请。但一次考试只可申请一次复议,不可以对某次考试先申请口语部分复议,随后再申请写作部分复议。

注意:

在口语复议的过程当中还是可以递送成绩单的,不会有任何影响。另外所有送出去的成绩都是按照复议后的成绩,即使你把原先的成绩送出,等复议出来后ETS还是会把复议后的成绩再送一遍,而各个学校也是以复议后的成绩为准。

三、托福成绩复议的收费标准:

1.申请写作或口语部分单项复议的费用是480元人民币,申请两项复议的费用是960元人民币。

2.申请成绩复议前,请确认已经成功支付费用,或保证在托福iBT报名网站中的个人帐户余额足够支付此项费用。

七、托福成绩复议成绩反馈:

1. 复议结束后,ETS会通过E-mail通知分数变化及退费事宜。

2. 复议后新分数在原始查分的地方查,只是分数可能有变,新分出现,“原始分数”会变为“考生通过NEEA查分”。

托福独立写作的三大招数

第一、熟悉托福独立写作常考话题

托福独立写作要求考生利用30分时间写作出300词左右的文章。在托福独立写作中,有十类常考的话题,以下是话题分类和相关题目举例。

1. 全球化影响

There is a disagreement on the impact of increased business and culture contact between countries on a country’s identity. What is your opinion?

2. 政府投资

People should keep all the money they earn and should not pay taxes to the state. Do you agree or disagree?

3. 科技影响

Many employees may work at home with modern technol_y. Some people claim that it benefits only workers, but not employers. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

4. 文化类

It is more important for a building to serve its purposes than to look beautiful. Architects do not need to worry about whether it is a real work of art. Do you agree or disagree?

5. 生活工作

Some people think that changing jobs periodically is good. What is your opinion?

6. 传媒类

Some people suggest that there should be restrictions on a detailed description of crimes in the newspapers and on television. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

7. 广告类

There are many advertisements directed at children. Parents argue that children are misled, while advertisers consider advertising a source of useful information. What is your opinion?

8. 环境类

It is said that the best way to solve the world’s environmental problems is to increase the price of fuel. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

9. 动物类

Far too little has been done to prevent animals and plants from dying out, although people have noticed this problem for a long time. Why have people failed to improve this situation? What are your suggestions?

10. 教育类

Some people believe that educating children alt_ether will benefit them. Others think intelligent children should be taught separately and given special courses. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

第二、了解托福独立写作的常用写法——“五段论”

托福独立写作最经典的写法就是 “五段论”。五段论实质上就是利用“总分总”结构来写。

英文逻辑下写作,首段讲究开门见山,在开头的最后一句话结束前一定要有表达自己观点的句子出现。在具体的写作内容上,建议首先用简洁明了的句子对原题目的意思进行同义替换,然后提出自己的观点。要保证开头没有任何的语法错误。

在正文的部分,三段是要保证的。也就是三个分论点。这里注意一个原则:可以“一点多段”,但不可“一段多点”。也就是在一个论点写完前不要引入新的论点。如果结束了就换段,保证一段的中心只有一个。如果对于一个点的论述很长,可以分成两段。这里建议有三个论点是因为一般情况下两个论点太少,需要用足够的论述或是例子才能使文章字数达到要求,而四个论点又太多,没有足够的时间来充实每一个论点造成因为“论点发展不完全”扣分。

最后是起总结作用的结尾。建议写作时只要再次提到全文主观点,但决不能照抄开头表达立场的句子,而应该以不同的方式讲同一个话题。

第三、避免托福独立写作误区

考生在托福独立写作中常见的误区有三个:

1.刻意选择使用复杂词汇

许多考生在写作中可以选择难度词汇,期待“一鸣惊人”的奇效。但是其实用复杂的词汇一方面会容易出现拼写错误造成失分,;另一方面,对难度词汇很多考生把握不到位,对它们的用法不清晰,使用会不恰当。

2.生搬硬套复杂句子结构

许多考生在托福独立写作备考时准备了多个句型,定语从句,状语从句,名词性从句,在考场上千方百计把句型套用上去,希望可以得到语言运用、句式多样性上的高分。但是托福写作不是考语法,而是考察语言应用。一篇好的文章应该水道渠成,自然流畅。并不是好句式就一定能得到高分,读上去顺畅、长句短句结合才是王道。

3.论证中忽视例子作用

很多考生在写作议论文时,总会出现一个问题:纯理论探讨。在托福独立写作中,考官希望看到考生对自己的每一个论点都充分论证,在论证中加入例子来充实文章。但是很多考生往往对一个论点以不同的写法重复,只有纯理论展示,但是却没有例子作为论据。这会成为托福独立写作的一大扣分点。

托福写作对字数有什么要求?

考生们托福写作最大特点是语言空洞,看似有道理,而且托福写作字数也很多,但禁不起推敲,这恰巧和托福写作备考的要求相悖。透视托福写作的评分标准,一篇好的作文段落中需要包含主题句、合理的解释、以及例子的支撑。

究竟怎样写才能够达到考官的托福写作格式标准呢。好的写作者从不写他没有见到过、读到过或者听到过的英语,也就是说多看好的范文,进行剖析和模仿是最有效的途径之一。

Aeroplanes have the reputation of being dangerous and even hardened travelers are intimidated by them. They also have the disadvantage of being an expensive form of transport. But nothing can match them for speed and comfort. 段落的开头使用让步加转折的逻辑关系引出了段落的主题:飞机旅行的有点—速度快、舒适。

这也预示了段落内部的层次。 Travelling at a height of 30,000 feet, far above the clouds, and at over 500 miles an hour is an exhilarating experience. You do not have to devise ways of taking your mind off the journey, for an aeroplane g you to your destination rapidly. 论述飞机速度的过程中:替代笼统表达高和快,作者直接写出了飞机飞行的具体高度(30,000 feet)和具体时速(500 miles/hr)。充分体现出英文说理文章对细节的要求,因为只有细节才更具有真实性和说服力。而这一点往往是中国学生比较欠缺的。

紧接着开始展开段落的下一个层次:飞机的舒适度。而让我们以外的是从引入第二个层次到最后的全部展开‘comfortable’这个字样竟然从未出现过,那么取而代之让读者切身感受到这种舒适度不是别的正是细节的描写,这也是该段最最精彩的部分。For a few hours, you settle back in a deep armchair to enjoy the flight. The real escapist can watch a film and sip champagne on some services. Settle back in a deep armchair 和sip champagne 足以让读者身临其仿佛自己正懒懒地窝在座椅里舌尖流过美味的香槟酒。

But even when such refinements are not available, there is plenty to keep you occupied. An aeroplane offers you an unusual and breathtaking view of the world. You soar effortlessly over high mountains and deep valleys. You really see the shape of the land. If the landscape is hidden from view, you can enjoy the extraordinary sight of unbroken cloud plain that stretch out for miles before you, while the sun shines brilliantly in a clear sky…层层让步的逻辑让读者觉得似乎无论怎样,飞机总会给我们准备一份大礼。而对于机舱外面的景色描写之细致自然而然的在读者眼前展开了一副美妙的画卷。就这样,在没有一句的话直接告诉我们飞机的舒适感的情况下,作者就是用细致的文字描写带着每个读者舒舒服服的做了一回‘头等舱’。

通过这样的一个支持段,我们不难发现说理也可以很‘文艺’。细节描写的加入,让并不容易扩展的段落层次得以充分的展开。这不仅引人入胜,论据充分扎实,并且非常有效的解决了字数问题,也给了考生非常大的空间去展示自己的文字的功底。

托福写作高分:experience and knowledge

Which one do you prefer, to solve problems on your own experience and knowledge, or to ask others for advice?

As knowledge and experience serve as twim towers in problem-solving, one is often presented with two major paths that pave the way for final fulfillment, eitther to wrack his brain, just like what happened to Neuton, siiting for many years under an apple tree and eventually figuring out ond of the greatest universal rules that govern the whole globe, or to seek for others’ widsom through their advice, just as in the case of Benjinin Franklin, gathering great minds under one roof and then establishing a most world-renown libray. Both ways work. When a practical goal is involved, however, Benjimin Franklin may best be regareded as a role model in this respect and asking people for advice often turn out to be the prime alternative.

Experience and knowledge borrowed or learned from others’ advice contribute greatly to effectiveness and effeciency for a goal-accomplishment. Not all experience and knowledge related to problem-solving can be obtained by personal effort alone due to limitations of mind and capabilities of each individual. A single thought in someone’s mind is, more often than not, far less shining compared with group’s wisdom. That explains the famous old saying that one sees further when standing upon the shoulders’ of past great giants; that explains why a great leader is always with greater minds; that also explains why teamwork in corperation is highly emphasized in the 21st century. Brainstorm and exchange of ideas between different thoughts never fail to enhance capabilities of each individula involved, a team, a company, an institution, a country, or even the entire global village.

Asking others’ advice instead of getting everything done on one’s own promotes democracy and communication too. In terms of democracy, it is necessary to give others rights and chances to speak since the problem may concern them in different ways, and their saying in turn reflects our respect toward freedom of speech as well as their wisdom. In terms of communication, idea exchange sometimes focuses more than solutions, and hereby better mutual understanding about perspectives, principles, praticalities and personalities of each other.

Admittely turning to others for help and suggestion by no means refers to absolute and irresponsible dependence. Consideration upon different thoughts and ideas broadens our mind, enlarges our vision, furthers understanding, enhances more effective and efficient brainstorm, and stresses mutual respect in groups and communities, which undoubtedly gives rise to better, if not the best solutions. As is paraphrased from John F Kenedy, brainstormed, there is little we cannot do while divided, there is little we can do.
