各位托友好,波波老师从2015年7月4日托福预测机经中精心筛选出5道提问方式不同的托福写作题目,并写出较为详尽的托福写作思路和细节,希望能帮助大家做好托福考前的临门一脚。
1. Do you agree ordisagree with the following statement? The most important things people learn are from their families.
【波波老师点睛】
题目大意:题目中含有绝对词“most”,理论上不同意更好写。笔者建议先让步,再转折。
具体思路如下:
让步:确实,从家人可以学到一些重要的东西,比如说一些重要的品质和良好的生活习惯。
Admittedly, we can learn many important things from our families, like some good qualities and habits.(+具体事例:从家庭可以学到诚实这一品质和良好的卫生习惯,而这些品质和习惯可以在工作、生活上帮助到我们)
转折:但是,从学校也可以学到很多对人们很重要的知识,比如说基础知识和专业知识。
However, we can also learn lots of important knowledge from schools, like basic and professional knowledge.(+具体事例:从学校可以学会算数,这可以让我们针对每日的收支进行记录;也可以从学校学会外语,这可以让我们和老外交朋友,也可以了解国外文化,以及当外语老师谋生)
结尾段:综上所述,不同意题目。实际上,在学校学的东西比在家里学的东西更重要,因为在学校学的都是实用的能力和技能,这些东西有助于我们发展事业和养家。
Judging from the above evidence offered, I can hardly agree that the most important things people learn are from their families. In fact, I believe that what we acquire from schools is more important than that from families, in that school education can provide us with more practical abilities and skills. And all these important things play a crucial role in our careers which help to support our families.
2. Do you agree ordisagree with the following statement? Political leaders have greater influenceon the society than artists.
【波波老师点睛】
读过此题之后,会发现这是一道A > B的题目,针对这种题目,笔者建议使用:先部分同意,在转折,最后递进的结构来进行写作。结合题目来说就是,先说 “社会能从艺术家的作品中获益,因为艺术作品可以让人们放松,提高全民的审美和修养”,然后再说“社会能够受益于政治领导人,因为他们的决策会可以为人们营造健康的生存环境,提高人们的生活质量,”最后递进“到底艺术家还是领导人对社会影响大,取决于社会的安定程度。”这种结构的好处就在于,我们只需要在A和B两个面分别想一个理由即可,这样就降低了考生的思维难度,节省了时间。
全文结构梳理:
让步段:“社会能从艺术家的作品中获益,因为艺术作品可以让人们放松,提高全民的审美和修养”(Admittedly, society will benefit from the works of great artists, in that the artistic work will make us feel relaxed and improve the public aesthetic view and quality. As we know, the classical works of artists is the crystallization of their wisdom, which will enlighten the public. Take Jane Austen’s famous novels as an example. )
转折段:“社会能够受益于政治领导人,因为他们的决策会可以为人们营造健康的生存环境,提高人们的生活质量,”(However, people will gain many benefits from the political leaders, since the policies they made will create a healthy environment and thus improve the public quality of life. It is self-evident that what leaders decides to do will exert an enormous impact on every one’s life. The implementation of Nine Year Compulsory Education Policy is a good case in point. )
递进段:“到底艺术家还是领导人对社会影响大,取决于社会的发展程度。”(Judging from what has been discussed above, I can hardly agree that society benefits more from works of great artists than from political leaders. From my perspective, it depends on the development of a society whether artistic works bring more benefits than political leaders. To be specific, in a well-developed and stable society, the works of artist will definitely plays a greater role in people’ life, because they have more free time to appreciate these works. By contrast, as for people living in a underdeveloped and turbulent society, the policies of political leaders more benefit the society )
3. Do you agree ordisagree with the following statement? To be successful in a new job, theability to adapt oneself to the new environment is more important than the excellent knowledge of this job.
【波波老师点睛】
解析这个题目对比了两个方面的优劣,分别是“对变化环境的适应能力”和“掌握了渊博的工作相关知识”,笔者建议使用“让步-转折-递进”的形式。
全文结构梳理:
让步段:适应能力是重要的,因为可以帮助你建立良好的人际关系和处理工作中的紧急事件。(Adaptability is of great importance for newly recruited employees in order to help you cope with the complicated relationship with others as well as tackle the emergencies in work place)比如,与老板同事搞好关系。和老板关系好,有助于升职加薪。 和同事关系好,可以扩大交际圈,在遇到困难时候,可以向他们寻求帮助。 具体来说,我在刚进入一个广告公司,很多业务都不熟悉,但是我的交际能力很强,很快我就认识了很多朋友,他们都会细心的帮助我慢慢的熟悉工作内容。处理紧急事件的能力在职场中也很重要,因为经常会有emergency 出现,比如说文件的丢失(files),如果你有较强的应急能力,你将会受到老板的赏识。
转折段:掌握工作相关的知识有助于你更高效的完成工作内容,或者是解决别人不能解决的问题。(An excellent knowledge of your job can help you finish your work more efficiently and even solve the problems others can’t handle.)我大表哥的求职经历可以作为一个很好的例子。 他在毕业时,向微软公司申请了网络工程师的职位,这个职位竞争非常激烈。我的大表哥凭借着自己扎实知识储备,最终顺利进入微软。
递进段:就我而言,我不同意上述观点。我认为这要取决于工作的种类。(Judging from what has been discussed above, I can hardly agree the above statement. From my perspective, it depends on the type of career you choose which is more important, strong adaptability or abundant expertise.)如果是高科技行业,需要有专业的知识,才能在工作中得到升职。 相反,如果是政府服务类工作,需要有较强的适应环境能力,因为你要面对各种各样的突发事件
4. Students must takea class in which they learn a practical skill. School administrators are tryingto decide whether to hold a class in cooking, managing personal finances or auto repair. Which do you think the school should require students to take?Why?
【波波老师点睛】
这道题目是一个三选一的题目,这类题目最简单的思考方式,就是从A,B,C三个选项中,选出其中一项,然后说出这一项的好处,然后说出另外两种的缺陷,就可以了。此题,笔者建议选择managing personal finances,具体思路如下
全文思路结构:
理由一:获得理财能力,可以帮助学生形成理性的消费观,避免攀比心理,从而合理分配自己的零用钱。众所周知,形成合理消费的习惯对于学生现在和未来的生活都起到非常重要的作用。(To begin with, Acquiring the ability of managing money can help students form a rational view of spending and avoid competing mind between each other, thus making them allocating money properly. As we know, the formation of distributing one’s financial resources has a great influence on students’ current and future life. )
理由二:学习做饭会存在安全隐患,因为学生缺乏安全意识,很容易引起火灾。而且,会浪费时间,因为学生完全可以去餐厅吃饭,而不需要自己做饭。(Secondly, there are a few advantages of learning cooking. For one thing, potential safety hazards may accompany the process of cooking, because students usually lack the awareness of safety, which may result in the outbreak of fire. For another, cooking by students themselves may waste much precious time which can be saved by eating in canteen.)
理由三:学习修车对学生来说实用性不强,因为学生出行的方式主要是自行车或做公交车。(Thirdly, learning auto repair is not useful for students because most of them usually go to school by riding bike or taking public transportation.)
结尾段:综上所述,我认为学校应该开始的课程是理财课。(Judging from what has been discussed above, it is reasonable to draw the conclusion that schools should require their students to take the course of managing finance. )
5. Do you agree ordisagree with the following statement? The more money people have, the morethey should give away for charity.
【波波老师点睛】
理解这道题目的含义非常重要,因为很多同学会把它简单看作是“有钱人应不应该做慈善”,这样写的话,就出现了跑题,因为这道题目的真正含义是“越有钱的人,越应该更多的做慈善“, 题目内部暗含一个逻辑,就是”越…, 越…“,所以大家一定要注意。这道题目,笔者建议选择同意,并使用总分总的结构,具体思路如下:
全文思路结构:
理由一:有更多财富人应该做慈善, 因为有助于缩小贫富差距,从而促进社会稳定。现在社会中,人们矛盾产生的源头之一就是财富分布不均, 所以富人通过慈善帮助穷人可以减少人们的抱怨。(First and foremost, those people with greater wealth should donate more money in order to narrow the financial disparity between the poor and the rich and thus promote the social stability. As we know, the uneven distribution of wealth is the main factor causing the public to make complaints. )
理由二:掌握更多财富的人做慈善的效果会更好,因为他们更有财力和影响力。相比于财力有限的人来说,有钱人能够为需要帮助的人提供更多的支持,并可以号召更多的人加入到慈善行列。(Secondly, the richer people can do a better job in charity, due to their better financial situation as well as their greater influence. Compared with people with low income, the wealthier people are able to provide more money for those in need of help and have a greater effect on calling for the whole society to join in.)
结尾段:有些人认为一个人应该有支配自己钱财的权利,但是个人的成功离不开社会的支持。 所以我还是认为有更多的钱的人应该更多的做慈善。(Some people may assert that every one has the right to distribute their own earnings. However, personal success is closely related to the social support. Therefore, I am still convinced that people with more money should make more contribution to charity.)
