托福寫作_獨立寫作“三選一”類型題目，到底怎么寫?
托福寫作中，三選一類型的題目頻繁出現(xiàn)，讓很多同學(xué)不知所措。今天，我們就來看一下，這種類型的題目在寫作中，都有哪些常見的誤區(qū)，和應(yīng)該如何破題。
托福寫作|獨立寫作“三選一”類型題目，到底怎么寫?
我們以這道三選一的題目為例，進行分析：
Which do you think is the most important factor that affects the lasting time of a friendship?
1. helping each other in crisis
2. having similar interests
3. trusting each other completely
你認為哪個是影響友誼長久的最重要因素?
1. 在危機中互相幫助
3. 完全信任彼此
我們來看一位同學(xué)如何展開這篇作文的：
他選擇的是“2. 有共同興趣”
理由1：有共同興趣，可以經(jīng)常在一起做喜歡的事
理由2: 有共同興趣，可以互相理解
乍一看，是不是覺得挺對很有道理呀?這樣寫，對于目標22以上的學(xué)生，其實是沒太大問題的，但是如果你期望自己寫作至少26分以上，獨立寫作拿到good，那就有問題了!
大家觀察一下，這樣的題目，除了明顯的從三擇一這個特點，還有什么特征呢?
注意，此題中有 “most important” 這樣一個絕對詞，而類似的題目中，也都有best, most useful 等等的關(guān)鍵詞。所謂most，best，學(xué)過小學(xué)英語的同學(xué)都知道，這是形容詞最高級，最高也就意味著有得有比較。
也就是說，我選了2，還得提1和3，對嗎?
對!!!
好，接下來，不少同學(xué)又犯難了。我覺得3個選項都挺好的，我找不出2同時比1和3都好的兩個理由呀?
這個時候怎么辦呢?的確，很多時候，我們很難找到2-3個理由來說明我們所選擇的同時要優(yōu)于其他兩個選項。但是退而求其次，我們可以理由段展開時，先寫“2比1重要”寫一段，再寫“2比3重要”再來一段，這樣就可以既符合題目要求，又降低寫作的難度啦。
比如，再這個題目中，我們可以寫：
1. 有共同興趣比在危機中互相幫助重要。因為如果有共同興趣，可以經(jīng)常在一起;而危機可能很少會碰到，即使危機中互相幫助過，時間久了也就慢慢淡忘了。
2. 有共同興趣比完全信任彼此重要。有共同興趣，才能有共同語言，互相理解;如果只是完全信任，但卻話不投機，最終并不能長久。
哈哈，不知這樣講解之后?大家的思路是不是打開了一些呢?下面附上近期的三選一寫作題目，供大家多多練習(xí)，打開思路!

怎樣才讓你的托福寫作更出彩
因此在論證完整充分的情況下如何使我們的托福寫作作文中體現(xiàn)多樣性成了托福寫作獲得高分的一個關(guān)鍵。
在托福的教學(xué)中，常常會聽到學(xué)生抱怨不知該如何寫好一篇作文。過去半年，托福的大作文話題相對集中，一些考生在考試時信心十足，認為自己字數(shù)足夠、思路清晰、論據(jù)完整充分，應(yīng)該能拿到高分。但成績一出來，卻不盡如人意，沒有預(yù)期中好。于是他們產(chǎn)生了疑問，到底怎么樣才能讓考官給高分?經(jīng)過對評分標準所提的要求的分析后，才發(fā)現(xiàn)原來自己的不足是在多樣性上。眾所周知，托福寫作的四個評分標準中Grammatical Ranges and Accuracy, Lexical Resources充分體現(xiàn)了托福寫作的基礎(chǔ)點也是加分點為詞匯和語法的多樣性。本文將對此進行討論并提出關(guān)于如何做到托福寫作多樣性的一些建議。
1. 詞匯語法多樣性的體現(xiàn)
1). 詞性的多樣性。
有調(diào)查指出，中國學(xué)生在作文中最常出現(xiàn)的詞性為動詞，因為我們腦中時刻緊記著以前語文老師要求的只有用動詞才能寫出生動的文章，才能體現(xiàn)我們的博覽群書。然而英語(論壇)中卻不盡然。通過對大多高分范文的分析，不難發(fā)現(xiàn)，除了動詞詞組的運用，各種的名詞的使用更得考官的青睞，更能體現(xiàn)外國人的文風(fēng)。拿小作文的發(fā)展趨勢做例子，大家都知道增加、降低等動詞的表達，如increase steadily, decrease sharply等，但轉(zhuǎn)換一種方式用名詞的形式表達，就更顯得多樣了,如experience a steady increase, undergo a sharp decrease。而如"surface"一詞，學(xué)生經(jīng)常只會用它的名詞用法“......的表面”，卻從來不用它的動詞形式。如果你留心原版雜志和閱讀材料,它的動詞用法無處不在。例如"The fact of his plan surfaced"這里的"surface"就相當于 "appear"。所以不管什么詞性，只要用了不能的表達方法，其結(jié)果都是不同的。當然是指正確的表達方法。
2). 同義詞多樣性。
在寫作中，如果一個相同的詞在250字的文中出現(xiàn)了不下三次，那么作為學(xué)生自己，也會覺得自己的文章沒有可看性，更別提考官，可見此學(xué)生語言功底一般，又怎么拿得到高分。而如果一篇文章，關(guān)于同個詞卻有三四中表達方法，無疑給這篇文章加分不少。其實同義詞也是展現(xiàn)一個學(xué)生英語水平的一個媒介。中國學(xué)生最常用的形容詞就是good, 不管是修飾什么名詞，用上再說，殊不知這已經(jīng)給這篇文章打了個相對低的起評分，所以如何來表達不同的“好”呢?我們就可以用excellent, marvellous, gorgeous, splendid, wonderful等。再如不要一想到“越來越多”就用 “more and more” 嘗試用 “an increasing number” 這樣不同的詞來表達，勢必會給平淡的文章增添亮點。
3). 句式結(jié)構(gòu)的多樣性
用豐富多彩的句型，也是托福寫作能得高分的標準之一。例如有這樣一個句型："If we don't recognize the..."我們是否可以替換為："Failure to recognize..."，再如 “sth. happened in 1998.” 我們也可以替換為 “1998 saw sth happening.” 這樣顯得更加的地道。此處還推薦學(xué)生能用不同的從句寫出漂亮的句子，為文章加分。當然，這并不是意味著整篇文章都是復(fù)合句或并列句，如果能很好的做到長短句結(jié)合，使文章通順連貫，也是能得到考官喜歡的。
2. 幾點建議
在簡單介紹了詞匯語法多樣性的體現(xiàn)后，我將提出幾點建議，促進考生在備考中做好準備。
1). 做好詞匯短語的積累工作。很多考生有這樣一個誤區(qū)，他們認為只要背了某些參考書上所謂的模板，再積累些論據(jù)，寫作的問題就迎刃而解了，殊不知，卻得到了本文開始的結(jié)果。當然這里的積累并非死記硬背，而是通過將一個單詞的不同形式，以及其同義表達等放在一起記憶就事半功倍。若遇到一個新詞，就要在腦中搜尋它的相關(guān)信息，這樣一來，就能在考試這么短的時間中馬上浮現(xiàn)了。但是一次的記憶是遠遠不夠的，所以適時的重復(fù)記憶也非常重要。
2). 多看高分范文，并對其中的詞匯句型多樣性進行總結(jié)?？忌趥淇歼^程中看范文時往往只是從整體上學(xué)習(xí)了其論據(jù)的安排，而忽略了細節(jié)的詞匯句型的運用，所以教師在上課時也要合理安排時間，將一部分用在對其的講解上。學(xué)生最好準備一本筆記本專門用做記錄好詞好句和其轉(zhuǎn)換形式。
3). 加強練習(xí)。經(jīng)常有學(xué)生問，作文提高是不是只要多寫幾篇就可以了，其實答案是否定的。我這里所指的加強練習(xí)是在一定的基礎(chǔ)之上的，即學(xué)生已經(jīng)基本掌握了托福寫作的各項要求。那么這樣練習(xí)才能有的放矢。通過幾次的練習(xí)，能檢查出學(xué)生多樣性的掌握情況，并對癥下藥，了解不足處，在真正考試中能突圍而出。
托福寫作向來是托?？荚囁捻椫凶铍y的，最能體現(xiàn)考生語言功底的，而詞匯與句型的多樣性正是它具體的體現(xiàn)。寫作和閱讀戚戚相關(guān)，也建議學(xué)生能多閱讀外文雜志報紙，原著等，在閱讀時，要注意外國人是如何遣詞造句的，尤其是詞性用法的多樣性。希望教師和考生們共同努力，將寫作水平拉上一個檔次。
托福寫作必知的一般規(guī)則及常識
1.直接引語中，句首字母要大寫。例如：“Then，”I said，“You havebeen making a mistake，and the letter is not in the apartment.”“那么，”我說，“你準弄錯了。這封信并不在那棟房子里。”
2.星期、月份名稱的第一個字母要大寫，但季節(jié)第一個字母不大寫。例如：Sunday星期天，August八月，winter冬天，spring春天。
3.一些大型節(jié)日名稱的第一個實詞的第一字母都要大寫。如：Children‘s Day兒童節(jié)，National Day國慶節(jié)， Teachers’ Day教師節(jié)。
4.由普通名詞構(gòu)成的專有名詞詞組，除其中的冠詞、較短的介詞和連詞外，每個詞的第一字母都要大寫。例如：the Great Wall長城，the UnitedStates美國。
5.大型會議、文件、條約名稱的每個實詞(虛詞：副詞、介詞、連詞、助詞、嘆詞和擬聲詞則不用大寫)的第一個字母都要大寫。書名、報刊名應(yīng)大寫首字母，文章標題中的每一個實詞的第一個字母要大寫。
如：China Daily《中國日報》，New York Times《紐約時報》，Their Class《他們的班級》(文章標題)，the Warsaw Treaty《華沙條約》， 實例：English Coaching Paper《英語輔導(dǎo)報》。
6.詩歌的每一行的第一個單詞的第一個字母要大寫。
7. 表示稱呼語或職務(wù)的詞首字母要大寫。實例：Mr Green格林先生， Dr Li李博士
托福寫作范文：人們購買東西是出于虛榮而非需求，是否認同?
寫作題目
Do you agree or disagree with the statement: People often buy products not because they really need them but because other people have them. 人們買一些東西并不是出于需求，而是因為其他人也擁有它們，是否認同?
寫作范文
In recent decades, international trades and improving living standards have largely contributed to the large scale of purchase of products. The reason behind this commercial behaviors either comes from individual’s needs for them or from envy of those who have already possessed them. From my perspective, the essential motive behind the scene would be for individual purposes.
Admittedly, people would sometimes buy the products because friends or classmates have them. it is not rare to see that after a high school studens has bought a newly-released iPad and bring it to the class, other friends would be at first gathering around him to witness how the product runs and then beg their parents to buy the one for them. For them, buying the newest generation iPad might bring them attention from others, which has nothing to do with the functionality of product. However, on balance, this only happens for within a small number of people, especially young students and women. For other consumers, they would be wise in choosing what they want. In this regard, more people are buying products out of their needs.
To begin with, for college students, they are inclined to buy what they really want. In other words, due to limited living expenses monthly, most of them could not buy whatever they want. According to the recent survey conducted on Sina Weibo, after polling 500 students in universities from Beijing, most of them claim that each month they have to manage their living expenses within 1500 yuan. Not only does this sum of money have to cover meal bills, clothing and fees for textbooks, but it also have to deal with emergencies. Under this circumstance, normally they have to make a plan for money use, and try to avoid buying things with little practical use. This explains why college students in Beijing rarely buy the newest generation of iPhone or pay for monthly travel, and they have to put the money either on textbooks or living necessities.
In addition, male adults are another group of consumers who make purchase based on real needs. For example, for those who decide to buy a car, the motive is mostly because the car could help family member to tackle emergencies or drive them to the suburb for a relaxing weekend. Also, for those who decide to equip with a new Macbook, the motive might have something to do with work requirement, which asks them to process the data faster and more accurately. Moreover, for those who deicide to spend money on applying for MBA in business school, the motive might be related to career development. A wider caree insight cultivated from MBA would give them a broader window of success in the work. Seeing from this, it is the utilitarian purpose that makes male adults buy real products.
To sum up, although it is normal to see some customers making impulsive purchase since, most of the rational customers would buy products out of their needs.
