如何快速提高寫作成績
托福寫作需要大家打好基本功,我們都知道托福寫作分為托福獨立寫作和托福綜合寫作兩部分,這兩塊都需要過硬的英文寫作基本功。然后,我們需要積累寫作素材和模板,最后,我們還要知道如何把握寫作考試時間。下面,跟小編一起看看托福寫作題提升方法。
如何快速提高寫作成績
一. 打好基本功
托福寫作基本功的扎實與否,主要看兩個方面:詞匯和語法。詞匯是整個托??荚嚨幕A(chǔ),也是寫作練習(xí)的基礎(chǔ),沒有足夠的詞匯儲備是寫不好作文的。托福寫作中涉及的詞匯不僅要了解釋義,還要能夠在寫作中運用。很多同學(xué)在備考中有一個認(rèn)知誤區(qū),以為只要是背會的單詞就是已經(jīng)掌握的詞匯。其實,我們在背詞匯的時候大部分情況只是記住了詞匯的釋義,并未掌握詞匯用法。寫作中常用的詞匯不僅要了解釋義,還要了解用法,會在寫作中運用。接下來,我們來說說語法,托福寫作中語法主要體現(xiàn)在兩個地方,一個寫作中語法知識應(yīng)用,另一個是寫完以后根據(jù)語法知識檢查文章。這兩部都是為了確保我們寫出的文章的準(zhǔn)確無誤。備考時,只需要掌握基本語法知識即可。
二. 積累寫作素材和模板
打好基本功以后,我們還有準(zhǔn)備工作要做。接下來要開始為托福寫作準(zhǔn)備寫作素材和模板。托福獨立寫作中要求大家舉出具體例子論證觀點,所以一定要為獨立寫作積累一些寫作素材。托福獨立寫作有一些??荚掝},大家可以針對這些話題積累寫作素材。
綜合寫作不需要大家論述自己的觀點,但是大家要根據(jù)閱讀材料和聽力材料總結(jié)歸納觀點,需要大家具備很強(qiáng)的歸納總結(jié)能力。備考的過程中大家要針對各類話題總結(jié)自己的答題模板,以便于快速組織文章。
三. 限時練習(xí),及時批改
有的同學(xué)在平時寫作訓(xùn)練中不注意計時,結(jié)果考試的時候結(jié)尾還沒寫時間就到了。所以,大家做寫作練習(xí)的時候要按照考試的時間來,寫作速度不能太慢,寫完以后還要給自己留下幾分鐘時間整體檢查文章。另外,寫作只練習(xí)是不夠的,寫完作文要找老師批改才有提升。因為自己的寫的文章已經(jīng)代表了自身的最高水平,檢查也只能糾正一些語法句法錯誤。但是如果找老師批改的話,能給你一些更有用的建議,比如文章布局是否有問題,句式使用上是否要做提升,內(nèi)容與主題是否契合等等。
托福寫作經(jīng)典的提問方式
新托福獨立寫作一共有3個評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn):如何展開論點,如何組織結(jié)構(gòu)以及如何運用語言表達(dá)觀點。
語言的表達(dá)是項相對較耗時的任務(wù),不是一朝一夕即可掌握的,因此急需考生的長期醞釀;而如何展開論點,相對應(yīng)其實與如何運用語言是相輔相成的,同樣是需要時間。中國考生寫作分?jǐn)?shù)不高并不是因為不知道說什么理由,而是不知道如何用英語恰當(dāng)?shù)谋磉_(dá)自己的中文思路。因此這3個評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)中最有技巧最易提升的便是第二個:如何組織結(jié)構(gòu)。
第一,連接詞過渡句
任何形式的英語文章中都應(yīng)該具備一定量的連接詞(路標(biāo)詞),因為它們是有助于讀者順利閱讀的“導(dǎo)航坐標(biāo)”;大多數(shù)考生在備考時也的確會準(zhǔn)備一系列此類連接詞,用于文章每個段落的段首;包括有表示“第一,第二,第三”等的連接詞。但是單純有段首連接詞還不足以支撐全文的結(jié)構(gòu),因此考生應(yīng)該同時準(zhǔn)備段中連接詞,包括“比如說,因為,但是,相對比而言”等,粗略估計,全文完成下來可以達(dá)到15個以上的路標(biāo)詞,不僅承接了全文,結(jié)構(gòu)清晰明了,而且也為時間緊張下的寫作減輕了不少字?jǐn)?shù)壓力。以下為常用連接詞:
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, 表結(jié)果:so/ therefore/ as a result/ consequently/ as a consequence
7, 表舉例: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, 表轉(zhuǎn)折:but/ while/ however/ nevertheless/ nonetheless
10,表比較對比: to compare with/ compared with/ in comparison with/ by contrast/ on the contrary
…
當(dāng)然,僅僅依靠連接詞是不足以表明全文的連貫性的,適當(dāng)?shù)奶砑舆^渡句也是很好的承接手段,如Official Guide To The New TOEFL P263中有一篇關(guān)于DISHONESTY KILLS RELIABILITY 的5分范文中就有出現(xiàn)多處明顯的段落過渡句,如第三段首“After stating that everyone’s opinion can be different about this, for me honesty, in other words, always telling…”用來承接上下兩段,以引出自己的觀點看法;第五段首“Although I would like to see altruistic, understanding, thoughtful and loyal behavior from people, an instance of the opposite…”等都明顯具備良好的過渡功能,讓全文更加流暢舒服,朗朗上口。
第二,內(nèi)在論證統(tǒng)一
Official Guide To The New TOEFL這一官方指南中也明確在寫作部分提到“但要知道,僅僅使用第一,第二這樣的連接詞并不能保證作文結(jié)構(gòu)的嚴(yán)謹(jǐn),還要注意讓所有的觀點與文章的主題相關(guān),緊扣中心思想。換句話說,作文要有統(tǒng)一性,評分原則中提到的統(tǒng)一性,漸進(jìn)性和連貫性這些都是評估作文結(jié)構(gòu)是否嚴(yán)謹(jǐn),讀者能否比較容易地跟上作者思路的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)?!蓖ㄟ^上段敘述,我們不難發(fā)現(xiàn)作文論證統(tǒng)一性的重要性。
而事實上這也正是被許多考生所忽略的問題。在拿到試題后,考生們不是先騰出時間構(gòu)思結(jié)構(gòu)框架,而是急著抓住哪怕是一分鐘的時間動筆寫作,其實如此的選擇是要不得的,朗閣海外考試研究中心強(qiáng)烈建議各位考生在考試時不要舍不得這準(zhǔn)備的時間,正所謂“磨刀不誤砍柴功”;因為只有當(dāng)你事先構(gòu)思好而不是邊想邊寫,你才能真正做到論證內(nèi)容的一致性,觀點與論據(jù)的統(tǒng)一性,也才能真正取得高分。另外,用最直白的作答應(yīng)對題目的提問,用單邊的手段安排整篇文章成5段的總分總思路是十分適用的。

托福寫作獨立寫作范文分享
托福獨立寫作題目:
It is important to have rules about the types of clothing that people are allowed to wear at work and at school.
托福獨立寫作范文:
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.
