托福写作需要大家打好基本功,我们都知道托福写作分为托福独立写作和托福综合写作两部分,这两块都需要过硬的英文写作基本功。然后,我们需要积累写作素材和模板,最后,我们还要知道如何把握写作考试时间。下面,跟小编一起看看托福写作题提升方法。

如何快速提高写作成绩

如何快速提高写作成绩

一. 打好基本功

托福写作基本功的扎实与否,主要看两个方面:词汇和语法。词汇是整个托福考试的基础,也是写作练习的基础,没有足够的词汇储备是写不好作文的。托福写作中涉及的词汇不仅要了解释义,还要能够在写作中运用。很多同学在备考中有一个认知误区,以为只要是背会的单词就是已经掌握的词汇。其实,我们在背词汇的时候大部分情况只是记住了词汇的释义,并未掌握词汇用法。写作中常用的词汇不仅要了解释义,还要了解用法,会在写作中运用。接下来,我们来说说语法,托福写作中语法主要体现在两个地方,一个写作中语法知识应用,另一个是写完以后根据语法知识检查文章。这两部都是为了确保我们写出的文章的准确无误。备考时,只需要掌握基本语法知识即可。

二. 积累写作素材和模板

打好基本功以后,我们还有准备工作要做。接下来要开始为托福写作准备写作素材和模板。托福独立写作中要求大家举出具体例子论证观点,所以一定要为独立写作积累一些写作素材。托福独立写作有一些常考话题,大家可以针对这些话题积累写作素材。

综合写作不需要大家论述自己的观点,但是大家要根据阅读材料和听力材料总结归纳观点,需要大家具备很强的归纳总结能力。备考的过程中大家要针对各类话题总结自己的答题模板,以便于快速组织文章。

三. 限时练习,及时批改

有的同学在平时写作训练中不注意计时,结果考试的时候结尾还没写时间就到了。所以,大家做写作练习的时候要按照考试的时间来,写作速度不能太慢,写完以后还要给自己留下几分钟时间整体检查文章。另外,写作只练习是不够的,写完作文要找老师批改才有提升。因为自己的写的文章已经代表了自身的最高水平,检查也只能纠正一些语法句法错误。但是如果找老师批改的话,能给你一些更有用的建议,比如文章布局是否有问题,句式使用上是否要做提升,内容与主题是否契合等等。

托福写作经典的提问方式

新托福独立写作一共有3个评分标准:如何展开论点,如何组织结构以及如何运用语言表达观点。

语言的表达是项相对较耗时的任务,不是一朝一夕即可掌握的,因此急需考生的长期酝酿;而如何展开论点,相对应其实与如何运用语言是相辅相成的,同样是需要时间。中国考生写作分数不高并不是因为不知道说什么理由,而是不知道如何用英语恰当的表达自己的中文思路。因此这3个评分标准中最有技巧最易提升的便是第二个:如何组织结构。

第一,连接词过渡句

任何形式的英语文章中都应该具备一定量的连接词(路标词),因为它们是有助于读者顺利阅读的“导航坐标”;大多数考生在备考时也的确会准备一系列此类连接词,用于文章每个段落的段首;包括有表示“第一,第二,第三”等的连接词。但是单纯有段首连接词还不足以支撑全文的结构,因此考生应该同时准备段中连接词,包括“比如说,因为,但是,相对比而言”等,粗略估计,全文完成下来可以达到15个以上的路标词,不仅承接了全文,结构清晰明了,而且也为时间紧张下的写作减轻了不少字数压力。以下为常用连接词:

1, 第一:in the first place/ first and foremost/ to start with/ to begin with/ first of all/ first/ firstly

2, 第二:in the second place/ secondly and equal importantly/ to continue/ second/ secondly

3, 第三:in the third place/ last but not least/ third/ thirdly

4, 一方面、另一方面:on one hand/ on the other hand; for one thing/ for another

5, 表原因:because/ because of/ since/ due to/ as/ thanks to/ for/ owing to

6, 表结果:so/ therefore/ as a result/ consequently/ as a consequence

7, 表举例:for example/ for instance/ such as/ take…as an example/ to illustrate

8, 表承接:besides/ furthermore/ moreover/ what’s more/ in addition/ additionally

9, 表转折:but/ while/ however/ nevertheless/ nonetheless

10,表比较对比: to compare with/ compared with/ in comparison with/ by contrast/ on the contrary

当然,仅仅依靠连接词是不足以表明全文的连贯性的,适当的添加过渡句也是很好的承接手段,如Official Guide To The New TOEFL P263中有一篇关于DISHONESTY KILLS RELIABILITY 的5分范文中就有出现多处明显的段落过渡句,如第三段首“After stating that everyone’s opinion can be different about this, for me honesty, in other words, always telling…”用来承接上下两段,以引出自己的观点看法;第五段首“Although I would like to see altruistic, understanding, thoughtful and loyal behavior from people, an instance of the opposite…”等都明显具备良好的过渡功能,让全文更加流畅舒服,朗朗上口。

第二,内在论证统一

Official Guide To The New TOEFL这一官方指南中也明确在写作部分提到“但要知道,仅仅使用第一,第二这样的连接词并不能保证作文结构的严谨,还要注意让所有的观点与文章的主题相关,紧扣中心思想。换句话说,作文要有统一性,评分原则中提到的统一性,渐进性和连贯性这些都是评估作文结构是否严谨,读者能否比较容易地跟上作者思路的标准。”通过上段叙述,我们不难发现作文论证统一性的重要性。

而事实上这也正是被许多考生所忽略的问题。在拿到试题后,考生们不是先腾出时间构思结构框架,而是急着抓住哪怕是一分钟的时间动笔写作,其实如此的选择是要不得的,朗阁海外考试研究中心强烈建议各位考生在考试时不要舍不得这准备的时间,正所谓“磨刀不误砍柴功”;因为只有当你事先构思好而不是边想边写,你才能真正做到论证内容的一致性,观点与论据的统一性,也才能真正取得高分。另外,用最直白的作答应对题目的提问,用单边的手段安排整篇文章成5段的总分总思路是十分适用的。

托福写作独立写作范文分享

托福独立写作题目:

It is important to have rules about the types of clothing that people are allowed to wear at work and at school.

托福独立写作范文:

Nowadays, people’s opinions may differ when it comes to the issue whether it is of vital importance to have rules about the types of clothing that people are permitted to wear at work and at school. Some people would claim that clothing is an identity at work or school. However, in my opinion, I am still in favor of the idea that rules on the types of clothing are unnecessary for the following reasons.

Admittedly, restriction on clothing at work or at school can enhance working and learning efficiency to some extent. When employees are ruled to wear uniforms, people can focus their attention on what they do instead of distracted by a variety of clothes. It is obvious that concentration will bring efficiency, ensuring production efficiency and ensuring studying effect. However, compared to the benefits brought by free wearing, rules on clothing are secondary both to workers and students

To begin with, allowing employees to have different standards on clothes enables workers to feel more respect. That is to say, by providing the freedom to dress whatever they like, employers deliver the concept of respect. According to a survey conducted by Gallup, after polling thousands of employees from different companies, most respondents believe that regulations on their clothing are disrespectful and undesirable and should be abandoned or at least adjusted. It is also mentioned by some senior managers that it is of potential risks to prohibit the clothes wearing since it might cause tension between employers and employees. On the other hand, when employees are free to choose what to wear in office, the color difference would bring more diversity, leading to a more vivacious atmosphere. This is helpful in improving work efficiency because office-stayers are more free in what they think and how to manage the problems.

In addition, in a school setting, personalized clothing can cultivate students’ appreciation for beauty. As is known to all, students are at an age that well-rounded education are in dire need; by permitting students to wear different kinds of clothes, students can learn about beauty through different angles by watching everyday apparels. For instance, my girlfriend Katie grew up in US and she was given with the freedom to wear what she loves in school. Later when she started working in China, she knew exactly what to wear because her standard of beauty in dressing has been established. In contrast, most Chinese students who have been restricted by wearing uniforms in school for years would have trouble choosing the proper attire entering the professional world. The reason is that most Chinese teenagers are not given with the opportunity to select what they like. Consequently, they lack the experience of trial and error, which will take a longer time for them to find out what’s suitable for them.

To sum up, based on the above analysis, despite certain merits of having strict dress code, I believed that people should not implement this policy at work or school.
