托福写作实战速度如何提升

若水1147 分享 时间:

托福写作考试中时间不够用的问题是比较普遍的,很多同学虽然能够根据题目写出文章,但往往因为时间原因写得并不好,观点没有充分展开或者结尾草草收场等等。下面小编就和大家分享托福写作实战速度如何提升,来欣赏一下吧。

托福写作实战速度如何提升?加强4个层面让你写得更快

提升托福写作打字速度

其实小编丝毫不怀疑学生对键盘的熟悉程度,因为绝大部分人中文聊天时速度已经超神了。那为什么英文就是打不快呢?答案很简单,大家熟悉的是中文拼音的排列组合,很容易反映出这个声母后面跟着的是哪个韵母,这个韵母后面又该跟哪个声母。而英文就不行,考生对英文单词的陌生感远远超出了自己的想象,所以模考时总能看到他们不停地思考,不停地删除重打,时间也就随之流逝。

小编的建议是,每天半小时,电脑左右两边各一word文档,左边是英文材料,从词汇到句型到段落到篇章,右边是空白文档。先边看边打,再试着把左边遮去,这样反复操练,既提升了速度,又巩固了词句,提升了语感,说不定还能顺便背下几个好的段落。

准备思维模板套路

一个好的模板毫无疑问能够帮助大家节省时间。但小编并不推荐直接背英文模版,然后考试直接往里填单词的做法。这样做的危害实在太大了。首先对考生写作能力提升来说这是一个很不负责任的做法。其次对提分来说更不现实,因为ETS考官甚至包括E-rater(电脑阅卷)都很容易识别出模板举行,而且模版属于别人,与你的写作风格和用词习惯格格不入,这不是简单地填几个单词就能解决的。

小编在这里所指的是一个“思维模版”。你在写作前需要对议论文开头主体结尾段中地每一部分你需要往哪个方向写和想表达什么意图掌握得非常清楚。拿开头为例,大家可以通过时间对比,经历描述,引言,数据,背景,设问等等方式来建立模板。考生不需要全部掌握,因为实际考试只有一个开头,你不需要掌握所有方法,但要用精其中一种。

有的考生会把自己的“思维模板”精确到每句话,如开头第一句话写大背景,第二句话由大背景过度到解题关键词,第三句话让步分析反方理由加列举现象,第四句话引出自己观点。他就会在平时练习中反复训练这种模式,所以考试的时候能保持一个异常清晰地思路,从而节省大量思考徘徊时间。

具备合适的破题切入角度

比较公认的一个观点是,英文写作不好的考生,中文写作也不见得会好。托福独立写作虽然话题简单,却考察着考生较强的问题地解释和分析能力,虽然不需要有多深刻,但一定要具体有道理。为自己的观点想理由成了很多考生头疼的问题,要么是想不出来,要么就是解释的没有逻辑没有条理。从长远看,多阅读和多思考,多参加一些能锻炼思辨能力的活动是非常有效的途径。但如果想短期提升思考速度,就必须掌握一些常见问题的常规思考角度。

大家可以尝试自己归纳一些常见地破题角度,举个例子,一旦碰到“给钱”这个话题,大家可以先分两个大角度:给钱者和被给钱者。给钱者之所以出钱,第一对自身有好处,第二对方值得我给。对自身的好处又可分为两点来讨论,一是实的,二是虚的。如果这个“给钱者”是政府国家,“实”就成了税收、三大产业、就业、基础设施等角度,“虚”就成了形象、面子、精神、美等角度。其他还可以细分,在这就不便多讲。考生只要掌握一种破题方法,自然能够举一反三,迅速想出理由,提高解题速度。

储备充足的写作素材

材料就是文章的内容,这里只说一点,考生一定要有一个自己的材料库,哪怕是编的,平时编好总胜过临场发挥。有人会说我没有例子,小编认为这是不可能的。托福写作题目是有它自身的合理性,它能保证任何一个有过生活学习经历的人都能完整地写出一篇好作文。

在这里大家不要担心自己的事例故事不够新颖不够深刻,托福写作重点考察的是学术环境下的语言交流,而不是阅读量和思想的深刻性。只要你能把观点表达清楚,证明清楚,具体用什么证明根本不重要,合理即可。

托福写作:存钱习惯

【题目】

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.

【参考译文】:存钱的好处

每个人都必须工作以求生存,但是有许多人很幸运,能够赚得比他们立即需要的还要多的钱。他们应该如何处理这些额外的收入呢?尽管把钱全花在自己想买的东西上是很诱人的,但我认为最好至少把一部分的额外收入存起来,以备将来之需。

通过存钱,人们能获得更多的安全感。未来是无法预测的,或许有一天我们会失业。碰到像这样的情况,存款可以让我们免去许多痛苦,帮助我们渡过难关。此外,存钱可以使人积累较多的钱,可以用于买更有价值的东西,比马上把钱花掉所能买到的东西更有用。例如,我们可以用存款买房子。最后,存钱能帮助我们培养设定目标及为未来作计划的习惯。如此一来,我们一定会过着更有意义并且更成功的生活。

大部分的人会想要马上享用手边的钱。没有人想等到以后再买想要的东西。然而,如果我们学会存钱,未来可以获得更多的好处。我们将过着更有安全感而且更快乐的生活。我们也能购买我们真正想要但现在无法负担的东西。

托福写作素材之天赋还是后天努力

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.
