托福獨立寫作的常見題材
托福獨立寫作題材有很多種,今天小編主要和大家介紹托福寫作說明文一類的題材寫作。小編主要從簡單說明文、對比對照說明文以及立論文三個題材方面和大家介紹托福獨立寫作的常見題材。
托福獨立寫作的常見題材
一、托福獨立寫作題目類型:含有絕對詞類
1、含有絕對詞類題目特點:
絕對詞顧名思義,題目中所給出的statement比較的絕對,極端。所以比較級類型的題目都是有懈可擊的,我們采取Disagree的態(tài)度就比較好寫,也比較嚴謹。絕對詞中第一類是最高級,也就是說事物A是最好的。這里面其實隱含了B,C,D等等。比如說提高教育質量最好的方法是給教師加薪。這里面A就是給教師加薪,而BCD則可能是指改善教育設施,引進教學方法,教師培訓,家長等方面。
2、比較好的行文思路有以下幾種:
a.讓步段承認給教師加薪確實很不錯;轉折段說明改善教育設施也好;遞進再說明給教師提供專業(yè)培訓也一樣的好(可寫可不寫);b.讓步段承認給教師加薪確實很不錯;轉折段說明給教師加薪可能存在的負面影響(也就是A的不好);遞進說明還有其他非常不錯的方法;c.開頭段直接說明給教師加薪確實不錯,但也有其他好的方法;主題段落選擇兩到三種其他同樣有效的措施。以上三種方法得出的結論都是證明A(給教師加薪不是最好的)。其中,第二種方法強烈推薦,但是可能寫作起來難度稍大。
二、托福獨立寫作題目類型:比較級類
1、比較級類題目特點:
比較級的對象只有兩個,A大于B,所以寫起來比最高級稍微難,因為我們的論證對象少了,文章的篇幅自然不容易寫長,也是托??荚囍凶畛?嫉囊活愵}型。但是比較級的解題技巧一樣微妙。
2、寫作思路:
這類題目我們可以采用Agree或者Disagree的態(tài)度。如果是Agree的話,我們就要著重寫A相對于B的優(yōu)點,每個優(yōu)點作為段落主題句進行論證就OK。如果是Disagree的話,寫作方法就多了。我們可以讓步承認A好,轉折說明B也好,最后得出的結論是AB同樣的好,推翻命題;還可以說B相對于A的優(yōu)點,再對每個優(yōu)點進行展開論證;還有一種不太常見的寫法就是題目中說A比B好,但是你認為A和B都不好。這個時候你可以先承認B不好,然后再轉折說明A也不好。曾經考過這樣一道題:It
is easier to become successful than in the
past.是說現(xiàn)在比過去容易獲得成功。但其實成功在任何時候都不容易獲得,所以我們要先讓步承認過去獲得成功很難,還要轉折說明現(xiàn)在獲得成功同樣的難。
三、托福獨立寫作題目類型:隱藏類
1、隱藏類題目特點:
隱藏類出題較少,但是難度還是比較大的。所謂的隱藏就是指題目中講某些名詞前面的限定詞省略了。比如說:People should
pay to use public
transport.像這樣一道題目,我們會發(fā)現(xiàn)里面沒有明顯的絕對詞或者比較級的特征,但其實它里面暗藏玄機。
2、寫作思路:
我們可以這樣理解這道題目:(All) people should pay to use public
transport.也就是說所有人在使用公共交通工具的時候應當付錢。這與現(xiàn)實情況是不符合的吧?我們考慮現(xiàn)實情況中老年人,殘疾人和兒童在乘坐公車時是免費的。所以拿到這樣的題目,我們應該抓住主要名詞,然后看看這些名詞能不能進行細分。這道題目中people我們可以分成弱勢群體和非弱勢群體。先承認非弱勢群體在乘坐公交時應該付費,再轉折說明弱勢群體則應該免費乘坐公交。同時,也可以對public
transport進行分類,比較公交,地鐵,火車,飛機等等。但是后一種分類論述就不太容易了,我們不予考慮。
托福獨立寫作話題分類
教育類話題
教育類話題主要涉及到學生的一些基本情況,包括選課、就業(yè)、學校活動以及課下作業(yè)等很多方面。此外,學校的一些決策、設備變更、教師選擇等也都有涉及。教育類話題在托福寫作中的占比很高,在歷年托福寫作考試中大概占據(jù)25%左右的題目。
高分句型:現(xiàn)在,除了學習以外,還應鼓勵學生們在其他很多方面培養(yǎng)興趣,例如體育,繪畫和音樂等。
—>Today, in addition to_____, a student is also encouraged to _____
滿分詞匯:培養(yǎng)(某種素質) —> cultivate/foster/nurture(vts)心理健康 —> psychological soundness/well-being/welfare(nouns)
社會類話題
社會類話題涉及的范圍很廣,主要是指一些社會話題、事件以及觀點類問題。例如:Do you agree or disagree that society benefits more from works of greatartists than from political leaders.是否同意:藝術家比政治家對社會的貢獻大。
高分句型:摩天大廈造的環(huán)境問題,很多人開始反思摩天大樓是否必要.
—>With these problems and the effect _____ has exerted on _____,many people have begun to wonder _____.
滿分詞匯:生活節(jié)奏加速 —> the tempo/pace of life has accelerated導致人與人的疏遠—> create alienation between people 科技類話題
說到“科技”,我們可能會想到現(xiàn)在日益發(fā)展的手機、電腦以及各種各樣新出現(xiàn)的科技產品等。這些科技產品使得我們的生活變得更加便利,高效。
高分句型:互聯(lián)網對人們的生活方式產生了深遠的影響,它變革了人們生活方式以及思考問題的方式。 —> _____ exerts such a profound effect on _____that _____.
滿分詞匯:尖端的技術 —> cutting-edged(adj) technology信息爆炸 —> information explosion/ information overload
媒體類話題
媒體類話題涉及“電視,廣播,電腦,手機”對于我們生活的影響。提到這些媒體,我們就能夠聯(lián)想到媒體對現(xiàn)在生活帶來的影響和變化。而“效率”和“健康”是和媒體類分不開的兩個寫作思路。
高分句型:廣告的正面影響 —> For customers, advertising plays an imperative part in making them aware of the worth of the product or service...
滿分詞匯:實事 —> current affairs 充斥著... —> be awash with/ be inundated with 生活與工作類話題
這個話題可以繼續(xù)分為兩類,生活方式類和工作類。生活方式類題目主要是指人們對于一些生活方式的選擇,比如:在大城市好,還是在小城市居住比較好。包括居住地點、生活態(tài)度、生活方式選擇以及生活和工作的權衡等。對于這類題目往往是二選一的問題,考生可以選擇自己支持的一方。
高分句型:人們可以采用很多方法增強體質。其中一種方法就是進行足量的體育運動?!?gt; Various ways can be adopted for people to_____.One of these ways is to _____.
滿分詞匯:精神上的享受 —> amusement and enjoyment 缺少運動的生活方式 —> sedentary lifestyle
環(huán)境類話題
由于近年來環(huán)境惡化,這類話題出現(xiàn)的概率也在攀高。說到環(huán)境,我們就會想到諸如環(huán)境保護、節(jié)約、環(huán)境治理、環(huán)境保護以及節(jié)約等相關的話題。雖說環(huán)境問題是托福獨立寫作中的熟臉,我們生活中也經常會談論到它。
高分句型:氣候變化,它可能影響到世界的任何角落,是一個全世界應該處理的問題。
—> _____, with its potential to impact every corner of the world, is an issue that must be addressed by the world.
滿分詞匯:生態(tài)平衡 —> ecological balance/ ecological equilibrium 對環(huán)境無害的 —> environmentally-friendly
成功類話題
成功類話題一般考查成功的要素,就是怎樣才能夠成功。成功類話題常常涉及的關鍵字有機會、教育或知識、創(chuàng)造力、效率、能力等。其中,機會、創(chuàng)造力以及效率三方面在托福寫作中出現(xiàn)的概率最高。 高分句型:一些人認為機會非常稀少,只有最幸運的人才能獲得它。其他人則認為,各種各樣的機會不時地來到每個人的身邊。我個人比較同意第二種說法。
—> Some people believe that _____, while other people argue that_____. Personally, I agree with the latter to some extent.
滿分詞匯:努力去做的事情 —> commitment/ undertaking/ endeavor
政府投資類話題
政府類話題屬于考生不太熟悉的離生活比較遠的話題,涉及政府決策的題目,我們就要考慮政府做一件事情的目的是什么,不光是為這件事情本身,肯定有一些隱含因素,比如為了促進經濟、國家形象、人民生活、保護文化等等。
高分句型:根據(jù)國家統(tǒng)計局上周公布的數(shù)字,很多公司增加了投資,像福特,索尼這樣的外國廠商在華投入了更多的資金?!?gt;_____increased (decreased) _____, according to figures released last week by_____.低廉,語言環(huán)境優(yōu)越。
滿分詞匯:為...撥款 —> allocate money to sth./ subsidize(vt)/ invest in
托福寫作范文:假期少但是有趣有挑戰(zhàn)性的工作的利弊
2016年5月7日托福獨立寫作題目
Which do you prefer with the same rate of pay, an interesting and challenging job with less vacation or a job with more vacation time but less fun? 2016.5.7 ML
2016年5月7日托福獨立寫作真題回顧
An interesting and challenging job with less vacation or a boring job with more vacation, which one is better.
點睛
題目大意:一個假期少但是有趣有挑戰(zhàn)性的工作和一個假期多無聊的工作,哪個更好。 此題是一道比較類的題目,而且發(fā)現(xiàn)兩個種工作各有利弊,所以波波建議,用取決于的觀點來寫,即認為那種工作好取決于人們的年齡,對于年齡大的人來說后者好,對于年輕人來說,前者好。

The next two months will witness the graduation of a huge number of college students in China, triggering an urgent issue whether it is better to seek an interesting and challenging job with less vacation than finding those jobs with more vacation but less fun. From my perspective, a challenging and interesting job matters more.
For one thing, mentally challenging jobs can keep employees’ mind sharp even long after retirement. To put it more specific, even a mentally demanding job may stress workers out today; it can provide important benefits after retirement. “Based on data spanning 18 years, a study suggests certain kinds of challenging jobs have the potential to enhance and protect workers’ mental functioning in later life,” said by Gwenith Fisher, a faculty associate at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research. The research analyzed data on 4,182 participants in the U-M Health and Retirement Study, which surveys a representative sample of more than 20,000 older Americans every two years and the final result reveals people who had worked in jobs with greater mental demands were more likely to have better memories before they retired and more likely to have slower declines in memory after retiring than people who had worked in jobs with fewer mental demands. Accordingly, being engaged in a challenging and interesting job will benefit employees’ mental functioning.
For another thing, the more challenging the job is, the higher salaries employees will be paid with. Generally speaking, a challenging job will require employees to master multiple capabilities and techniques and to undertake more responsibilities. Thus, they will be paid with high salaries, making it possible for them to do whatever stirs up their interest. For instance, one of my friends named Jason works as a top software engineer in a renewed IT company in China and he is well paid. Besides, his hobby is photography and travel in foreign countries. On weekends or public holidays he often chooses to take photographs in different places of historic interest and scenic beauty or travel abroad. In the near two years, he has traveled in many countries in Europe and Southeast Asia and take a lot of beautiful pictures. Obviously, compared with average citizens in big cities who are busy in dealing with a variety of problems in daily lives, Jason’s life experience can tell us that his high-paid job gives him chances to live a more leisure life during vacation.
Admittedly, if people choose to take a less-fun job with more vacation, they can spend more time with their families and doing what they like. In this way, they will live a less-pressure life. However, from what I believe, people should try their best to play to their strengths and talents on the career path especially when they are young and a challenging job will require employees to be fully devoted.
To conclude, a challenging job with less vacation is superior to a job with more vacation but less fun. (498 words)

In the current society full of fierce competition, we can readily observe that landing an ideal job has become increasingly difficult, which forces us to a concession in the requirement of the job we want. When it comes to which is more appealing, an interesting job with less holiday or the boring one with more vacation, people varying in backgrounds and personalities may view the same issue from different angles. From my perspective, the issue should be analyzed case by case.
On the one hand, choosing a challenging job with less vacation is a wise move for the young. As we know, the defining characteristic of young adults is the degree to which they are endowed with lofty ambition and never fear any challenges. As a result, challenges accompanying the work will help young people to tap their potential capability and thus achieve greater success. For another, less spare time is not a big deal for the young, because they are so energetic and vigorous that a sound sleep can help them to restore their vitality. A good case in point is the experience my friend, Andy. As a broker in an Stock Exchange Company in Beijing, he has to deal with large quantities of data and keep close track of any events which may cause the fluctuation of stock price. Although the heavy pressure brought by his job often require him to work overtime and even around the clock, he never makes complaints because the exciting and adventurous experience from selling or buying stocks appeals him a lot.
On the other hand, older people prefer to select the relatively boring job with more leisure time. For one thing, boring jobs means that employees have to accomplish the same tasks again and again so that there is less pressure and stress, which is very important to the health of older people. As is common sense, the senior are more susceptible to various diseases such as hypertension and heart attack due to the weakening immune system. Consequently, any additional stress from work may pose a serious threat to their physical well-being. Also, older people are usually those who have got married or even have children, so spending more time accompanying their family members is of great significance. Undoubtedly, the job with more vacation can better satisfy the need of staying longer with their kids or spouse. During the stay, the emotional bond between them will become closer and more intimate.
Judging from what has been discussed above, we can draw the conclusion that it depends on the age group of people whether the interesting job with less vacation is better than the monotonous one with more holiday.
