那么ChatGPT，能不能用来写托福作文？AI写出的托福作文能得多少分？托福考生能用ChatGPT做哪些事？

ChatGPT写的托福作文

大狮姐让ChatGPT写了一篇TPO54 Task2的作文，托福写作Task 2的时限是30分钟，而ChatGPT花20秒，就交付了一篇350-400字独立写作。

全文如下：
The debate over government spending on arts versus athletics has been ongoing for many years and there are valid arguments on both sides. Those who advocate for increased government spending on the arts argue that it is an investment in culture and that it provides numerous benefits to society, including economic growth and job creation, education and personal development, and the preservation of cultural heritage. On the other hand, those who argue for increased spending on athletics argue that it promotes physical fitness, national pride, and international recognition, and can drive economic growth through tourism and the creation of sports-related jobs.

In my view, both arts and athletics are important and should be supported by governments to some extent. However, the exact amount of funding allocated to each area will depend on a variety of factors, including the priorities and resources of the government, as well as the specific needs and interests of the population.

For example, in countries where there is a strong tradition of artistic expression and cultural heritage, it may be more important to allocate more resources to support the arts. In these countries, investment in the arts can drive tourism, create jobs, and preserve important cultural traditions. In contrast, in countries where athletic performance is a major source of national pride and international recognition, it may be more appropriate to allocate more resources to support athletic programs.

At the same time, it's important to consider the economic impact of both arts and athletics. Investment in the arts can stimulate economic growth by creating jobs and boosting tourism. The arts also have the potential to drive innovation and creativity, which can lead to new products and services and provide a boost to the overall economy. On the other hand, investment in athletic programs can also drive economic growth, as sports tourism and the creation of sports-related jobs can contribute to local economies.

Ultimately, the question of whether governments should spend more money on the arts or athletics is a complex one and will depend on a variety of factors. While it is important to support both arts and athletics, the exact allocation of resources will depend on the specific needs and interests of the population, as well as the priorities and resources of the government. In conclusion, while both arts and athletics are important and should be supported by governments, the exact amount of funding allocated to each area will depend on the specific needs and interests of the population and the priorities of the government. Investment in both the arts and athletics can drive economic growth, promote physical fitness and national pride, and contribute to the cultural heritage of a nation.

多少托福考生看完都哭了？文章用词无误，语法正确，并且文章篇幅达到了460词，那么文章实际能拿到多少分呢？狮姐邀请了新东方在线的两位托福老师对作文进行了评分：

徐赫然老师：这篇文章大概在3.5-4分左右。整篇文章用词语法都很好，语言表达上确实不错，但是文章很像官方说的那种冗余的文章，只是把俩选项分析了一遍没有完全展开，论据比较少。

彭璐老师：我会给4.5分。文章写得非常成熟，对话题进行了非常全面的考虑和论证。开头段的背景中，充分考虑了两方的观点和主要理由。在自己的观点段中，给出了清晰的观点和进一步的建议。在后续的两个段落中，分别从 traditions 和 economy 两个角度分情况讨论/比较了投资 athletics 和 art 的好处。最后两段中，再次强调了决策需要充分权衡。

有的细节展开可以更充分一点，另外文章整体的内容/立场/逻辑的全面性已经超越了托福要求考生做到的程度，不建议学生按照这篇去模仿，就我们的实际教学来说，这样的思考和结构比较复杂，会教授更简单、好上手的写法。（也就是说不建议同学们用ChatGPT生成文章后作为模板背诵模仿）

ChatGPT给托福作文评分

大狮姐尝试让ChatGPT给托福OG给出的写作范文打分：

Do you agree or disagree with the followin statement?

Students are more influenced by their teachers than by their friends.

In my opinion, students are more influenced by their friends rather than their teachers. Therefore, I disagree with the statement "Students are more influenced by their teachers than by their friends."

I do not disagree with the fact that students get influenced by their teachers, however, I believe that this "influence" is mostly within the field of academics. In most cases, the only time that students communicate with the teacher is in the school building, in the classroom. Most of the discussions are about topics related to studies. However, with friends, students often tend to discuss a variety of topics, such as studies, friends, relationships, and families. Therefore, students are generally influenced more broadly by their friends, while the only influence made by the teachers are mostly academical.

The amount of time spent with the teacher or friend, also effect on how much influence has been made to a person. As mentioned previously, the time that students communicate with the teachers is restricted to school hours. However, students spend or communicate with their friends not only in school but even outside the school campus and school hours. Especially with the emerging technology, and the development of mobile phones and the internet, students are now able to communicate with their friends at any time where ever they are. Since the amount of time spent communicating with their friends are much larger than the time spent with the teachers, there are more chance of the students being influenced by their friends rather than their teachers.

Also, it is normal that the students feel psychologically more attached to the people in their age group, especially with their friends. The teachers are usually from different generations from the students and this may cause the students to feel that there is a distance between how they think/feel and how the teachers think/feel. Since the students are more emotionally and psychologically attached to their friends, they feel more comfortable to discuss their issues with them and accept their responses more openly and easily. This fact relates directly to how much they are influenced by their friends.

For these reasons, I believe that students are more influenced by their friends than by their teachers.

这篇官方参考范文属于High-Level Response. 而根据官方文件具体分数的范围是25-30分。ChatGPT给出的参考分数为23-27分，看来AI评分还是非常严格的。

Please rate the composition according to TOEFL writing scoring standard if the question is “题目”. The english composition is “你的作文”.

除了评分外，ChatGPT也会给相关的评语，但是综合看下来评语的质量参差不齐，有同学就收到下面这种评语。可以看出针对性并不是很强，模板式的套话比较多，建议同学们还是找到专业老师进行作文的修改。
