托福作文字數(shù)越多越高分嗎?字多不扣分但千萬不能少
在托福寫作考試中,特別是獨立寫作中,對于文章要寫多少字讓很多考生十分的頭疼,寫少了肯定是不行的,寫多了又怕時間不夠,那么到底是越多越好,還是只寫出那個標準就好了。下面小編為大家?guī)淼氖峭懈懽髯謹?shù)越多分越高嗎?希望對大家托福獨立寫作有幫助。
托福作文字數(shù)越多越高分嗎?字多不扣分但千萬不能少
ETS對于托福獨立寫作的評分標準OG上是這么說的:“An effective response is typically about 300 words long。 If you write fewer than 300 words,you may still receive a top score,but experience has shown that shorter responses typically do not demonstrate the development of ideas needed to earn a score of 5?!边@個很明顯的讓考生看到,一篇優(yōu)秀的作文,考生最好是要將文章寫到300字以上。當然了,有些文章的字數(shù)沒有達到300,但依然是滿分,這種情況畢竟是少數(shù)。對于托福寫作滿分作文,按照評分標準里的要求是:它肯定是對于考題充分的展開了論述,有利的支持文章的觀點,還有就是充足的字數(shù)。
對于托福獨立寫作,評分分標準里給出的字數(shù)下限是不能低于180字,但如果你所要表達的觀點都表達到了,字數(shù)也不能少于180字。因此,對于寫作文章的字數(shù)是關鍵,且字數(shù)超過了標準,并不影響得分的。
對于OG里的標準,作文中如果字數(shù)超了,那么是不會扣分的,但是也不要指望用堆字的方式來為你的作文加分。在寫作考試中,如果讓考官看到你的文章字數(shù)很多,給他的第一印象是你在規(guī)定時間里很能寫,有了這個印象,在評分上的印象也就好了,但并不會給你在字數(shù)上有加分的,畢竟主要看的還是寫作內(nèi)容。
這個和綜合寫作的批改還有點區(qū)別,這個可能是評分機制的不同而已。所以大家在寫作的時候,首先要寫出要求的最低下降,如果連這個還達不到,那么你的文章一定評不了高分了,再有就是如果時間充裕,你的表達的內(nèi)容比較豐富,可以盡量的多寫,這樣是不會被扣分的。除了寫作的字數(shù)要求之后,考生只要牢記托福寫作的要點,要觀點明確 ,邏輯清晰,內(nèi)容表達出來就可以了。
大家在備考的時候,多多對于這方面的練習,還有一個很重要的就是練習一下打字速度,有些考生,不是因為文章寫的不好,是因為時間不夠;不是因為字數(shù)不夠,同樣是因為時間不夠,而讓文章沒有完成,這種情況就讓你在托福寫作這一塊失分太不劃算了。
托福獨立寫作主體段如何展開 摸清套路四步助力高分之路
PART 1:major point中心論點
作為文章的核心內(nèi)容,中心論點主要起到提綱挈領、概括段意的作用。
例如:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? If parents want their children to do well at school, they should limit the time their children spend in watching TV. Use specific reasons and examples to Support your answer.
中心觀點的論述:
If children spend too much time watching TV, their time for study will naturally be reduced. Hence, the limitation from parents is meaningful.
分析中心論點的主要內(nèi)容:
1.因果關系以及對事物的影響。例如:…benefits…. Thus, I agree/disagree/prefer…
2.因為……好;所以……不好。例如:Because…. Thus, I agree/disagree/prefer…….
PART2:specific reasons具體的例證
例證主要是可以有邏輯地推出論點的思路和想法。Specific reasons are sentences which are different from the topic sentence and not the content of example, belong to specific reasons.例證有三個途徑,分別是:解釋說明、例證展開以及拓展延伸。當具體原因已經(jīng)足夠支撐本段,可以使用概括性的例子或者是不使用例子。
PART3:examples舉例的方法
這里分享一下人物事例的舉例方法,人物事例包括名人事例和個人事例。名人事例具有權(quán)威性、客觀的特點;個人事例則具有親切、主觀的特點。例如:It is not surprising to find many coach potatoes in school. Peter, my classmate, is one of them. Watching TV too much has impaired his vision and he has to wear glasses now, which is not convenient for him to play basketball, his favorite sport activity.這個事例中運用了個人事例,例子是作者的同學。引用個人事例讓人更有同感,也會覺得更加有說服力。但是,在使用的時候,一定要注意事例闡述的準確、簡潔,不要車轱轆話一堆。如果沒有適合題目的事例,也可以根據(jù)實際生活編造例子,但是要注意是有可能發(fā)生的事例。
PART4:conclusion總結(jié)段的寫法
總結(jié)段主要是強調(diào)主題或總結(jié)結(jié)果??偨Y(jié)的結(jié)果一般是從中間部分得出的結(jié)論,而強調(diào)主題則是達到和首段呼應的效果,讓整篇文章看起來更加緊湊。例如:To sum up, watching TV at will exerts negative influences on children; therefore, control from parents is indispensable.
托福寫作之三招搞定完美開篇
1). 追根溯源法
即從托福寫作題目給出的話題中找出這個現(xiàn)象產(chǎn)生的原因來擴展背景句。這種方法適合大多數(shù)的話題,考生要盡量在考前做托福作文練習,這樣在考試就可以得心應手了。
請看下面的例子:
There are social, medical and technical problems associated with the use of mobile phones. What forms do they take? Do you agree that the problems outweigh the benefits of mobile phones?
這個題目中給出的話題是mobile phone,所以考生可以從它產(chǎn)生的原因來考慮,就是科技的繁榮,而科技的繁榮,手機的廣泛使用是在20世紀末,這樣背景句就有內(nèi)容可寫了。當然要通過相應的句型來寫了。如
… (time) witnessed …
這個背景句就可以寫成: The late 20th century witnessed the boom of science and technology, which gave rise to a series of technological innovations, including the mobile phone.
再看一例:
Nowadays, some universities offer students skills that assist them to find employment, but some people believe that the main function of a university should be to provide students with access to knowledge for its sake. What is your opinion?
這題要求大家討論大學是提供職業(yè)技能還是傳授知識。那從傳統(tǒng)觀點來看,大學是傳授知識的地方,為什么會提出要傳授技能呢,所以這里考生也可以用追根溯源法思考下,大家肯定可以想到是由于找工作已經(jīng)成為當今教育的目的之一了,所以很多大學就轉(zhuǎn)移到以傳授技能為主了。那當然還是要結(jié)合句型,這里可以用as 引導的原因狀語從句。
參考:As job-hunting has become one of the main purposes of university education, the majority of the universities tend to offer vocational trainings to prepare the students for their future career.
2). 重述法。
即對關于這個話題的當前現(xiàn)狀的重述。
請看一例:
Nowadays, people are facing more and more work-related stress. State the possible reasons for this phenomenon and make some recommendations about how to combat it。
本題的話題關于壓力,那考生可從當前社會現(xiàn)象來考慮這個問題,考生不難想出當下對壓力這一現(xiàn)象的情況,即很多人都在承受著或多或少的壓力??捎胕t is generally believed that … 形式主語的句型。
參考: It is generally believed that white-collar as well as blue-collars workers are suffering from psychological and physical stress stemming from work.
再看一例:
Environmental problem is too big for individual countries and individual people to address. In other words, we have reached the stage where the only way to protect the environment is at an international level. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
本題話題為環(huán)境問題,考生也可用重述法對當前環(huán)境問題進行重述,這時,可以用In modern society/ At present, 等表時間的介詞短語來引導一個敘述句型。
參考:In modern society, environment related issues have confronted ecological scientists, government agencies and the general public.
3). 定義法。
即通過對話題詞的定義的介紹,這種方法在新托福開頭寫作中有一定難度,考生需要有淵博的知識,才能做到對名詞的解釋,但對特別明顯的詞語,考生可借鑒這種方法。
請看一例:
The main purpose of public libraries is to provide books and they should not waste their limited resources and space on providing expensive hi-tech media such as computer software, videos and DVDs. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
本題中的話題詞為圖書館,可以解釋的詞也是圖書館比較方便容易。那么到底如何解釋呢,比如說圖書館在傳統(tǒng)意義上來看,是收藏書的地方,而現(xiàn)在因為科技發(fā)展,使得圖書館的意義發(fā)生改變,從而引出話題。這里同樣可以用形式主語:
It is generally believed that public libraries are places with a large collection of books; however, the digital time has given it a new means of storing and retrieving information.

托福寫作題目
People attend college or university for many different reasons (for example, new experiences, career preparation, increased knowledge). Why do you think people attend college or university? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.人們?yōu)榱耸裁炊畲髮W,請舉例證明你的理由。
托福寫作范文
Career preparation is becoming more and more important to young people. For many, this is the primary reason to go to college. They know that the job market is competitive. At college, they can learn new skills for careers with a lot of opportunities. This means careers, such as information technology, that are expected to need a large workforce in the coming years.
Also, students go to colleges and universities to have new experiences. This often means having the opportunity to meet people different from those in their hometowns. For most students, going to college is the first time they’ve been away from home by themselves. In additions, this is the first time they’ve had to make decisions on their own. Making these decisions increases their knowledge of themselves.
Besides looking for self-knowledge, people also attend a university or college to expand their knowledge in subjects they find interesting. For many, this will be their last chance for a long time to learn about something that doesn’t relate directly to a career.
I would recommend that people not be so focused on a career. They should go to college to have new experiences and learn about themselves and the world they live in.
全文點評:
1. 本文是正正正的大正型支持文章,結(jié)構(gòu)標準,邏輯清晰。
2. 文章首段寫的非常標準,簡單明了,并對下文的幾個正文段都用幾個詞組進行了概括,縱覽全文。
滿分因素剖析
語言方面:
文章語言比較平實,論證恰到好處,沒有過多用來炫技的語句,很少有語法或邏輯錯誤,讀起來清晰自然。
1. I believe that the three most common reasons are to prepare for a career, to have new experiences, and to increase knowledge of oneself and the world around.
此句中,believe后面引導賓語從句,that后面的內(nèi)容出現(xiàn)在及物動詞后面,做主句的賓語,用來表達作者的看法和觀點。在結(jié)構(gòu)上,此句是文章開頭段的最后一句話,承接上面作者提出的觀點,提出三個分論點,引出下文,是文章的邏輯與層次更加清晰。
2. In additions, this is the first time they’ve had to make decisions on their own.
此句出現(xiàn)在論證段落中,承接論證的上一個層次,引出論證的下一個層次。in addition是一個連詞短語,表示“此外,其次”,相同意思的還有additionally,furthermore,moreover, besides, also, what’s more。 在托??荚囍?,考官非??粗剡B詞的使用,因為這些詞往往可以文章的結(jié)構(gòu)和層次更加清晰,是論證更加有邏輯性。
3. Besides looking for self-knowledge, people also attend a university or college to expand their knowledge in subjects they find interesting.
此句中,Besides是一個介詞,后面接動詞的ing形式,構(gòu)成介詞短語,意思為“除了...以外”。此句出現(xiàn)在文章第三個論證段的開頭,besides引導的介詞短語可以承接上文,而主句可以提出本段的論點,這種銜接方式是文章更加流暢。Expand的意思是“擴充,拓展”,expand knowledge表示“擴充知識”。這種表達很形象,很生動,比常用的“acquire, obtain”更有感染力,大家學習模仿這種表達。
結(jié)構(gòu)方面:
本文是一篇標準的五段論證結(jié)構(gòu),開頭一段,中間論證三段,最后結(jié)尾一段。論證部分采用正正正的大正論證結(jié)構(gòu),段落鮮明,結(jié)構(gòu)清晰。開頭部分開門見山,出現(xiàn)了 prepare for a career, to have new experiences, and to increase knowledge of oneself and the world around.
這三個中間的分論點。作者在論證過程中用到很多鏈接詞,這樣是文章結(jié)構(gòu)緊密,邏輯清晰。最后一段收束全文,是文章渾然一體,看上去一目了然。
