寫好“絕對詞”類托福寫作題目,從拒絕承認(rèn)周杰倫最厲害開始
很多同學(xué)在遇到絕對詞類型的托福寫作題目的時候不知道從何下筆,下面小編給大家?guī)韺懞谩敖^對詞”類托福獨立寫作題目 ,從拒絕承認(rèn)周杰倫最厲害開始。
什么是“絕對詞”類文章呢?
大家記住,凡是有the best或者the most+adj.的題目,即最高級的題目,我們就把它叫做“絕對詞”類。
首先我們來看下這個題目:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:
The best way to know a country is by watching their movies.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
那么對于這個題目,很多同學(xué)見到了都會欣喜若狂,說好簡單我看懂了,就去寫文章了。然而,卻不知這道題目是有陷阱的。
通常,我們看到題目的一般思路就是想兩方面:好處和弊端。
例如這個題目的好處:舉兩個例子就是
1.在輕松的環(huán)境中了解到了外國;
2..這個途徑比較節(jié)省金錢;
然后是通過看電影了解外國不好的兩點:
1. 不能切身去感受
2. 了解到的內(nèi)容比較片面
那么其實這樣去構(gòu)思的話是比較局限的,就是在圍繞著看電影這一件事去寫,在考試時間很有限的條件下,很難去實現(xiàn)。
那么怎樣去高效地快速分析這個題目呢?
我們要做的第一步就是先確定觀點。
也就是說,我們先要確定我們對這種說法是反對還是認(rèn)同。
這里老師推薦反對觀點。為什么呢?
我們說下原因:因為要證明它是最好的方式很難去論證的,要一一去跟其他方式pk。
這里很重要!大家要注意!
下面來看看,持反對觀點,我們應(yīng)該怎么去答這道題:
There is no denying that watching the movies is a good way to know a country.
不可否認(rèn),看電影是了解一個國家的好方法。
However, it is not the best method. Firstly, reading magazines and newspapers is much better a way to know a country.
然而,這不是最好的方法。首先,閱讀雜志和報紙是更好的了解一個國家方式。
In addition, traveling in a country is a much better way to know a country.
此外,去一個國家旅游也是一個了解一個國家更好的方式。
這三句話是主體段的中心句,通過這三句話,我們看到,可以找兩個比看電影更好的方式,去了解一個國家。這里說的是reading magazines and newspapers(閱讀雜志和報紙)與traveling(旅游)。然后,根據(jù)以上兩點各寫一段用來闡述,就ok了。
那么通過這樣的方式,我們就把視野開闊了許多,不只是局限在看電影這一點了。就很容易去構(gòu)思了。也達(dá)到了我們高效考試的目的。
這么一來,我們的寫作思路就更加清晰了。
我們現(xiàn)在主要說明以下三點就夠了:
看電影不是最好的方式。
看雜志是更好的方式。
旅游是最好的方式
寫好“絕對詞”類托福獨立寫作題目 從拒絕承認(rèn)周杰倫最厲害開始
在托福獨立寫作部分有一類題型我們稱為“絕對詞”類文章,顧名思義就是題目中帶有must, the best, only等過于絕對化表達(dá),如果舉個更容易理解的例子就是:你是否同意以下觀點?周杰倫是最厲害的華語唱作男歌手。此類題型堪稱托福獨立寫作中的小婊砸,原因不僅僅在于問題的設(shè)定容易引起不同觀點間的“撕逼”,更在于這類文章的行文其實暗藏陷阱,稍有不慎就會造成文章邏輯自相矛盾無法自圓其說。
比如這里這個接地氣的例子,假如我們選擇同意觀點,那我們整篇文章的展開無非按照以下兩個套路來:
套路一.
首段:同意題目,我們Jay Chou就是華語樂壇第一牛逼的唱作男歌手。
中一:周杰倫唱歌最好聽不接受反駁。
中二:周杰倫作曲最厲害不接受反駁。
尾段:再次同意題目,我們Jay Chou就是華語樂壇第一牛逼的唱作男歌手。
這個套路的最大問題在于,文章證明了周杰倫唱歌作曲都很厲害,但是沒有任何橫向縱向的比較,無法凸顯出他在所有華語唱作男歌手中是“最厲害”的。
Woops……Game Over!
套路二.
首段:同意題目,我們Jay Chou真的真的是最牛逼的華語唱作男歌手!
中一:周杰倫唱歌作曲最厲害不接受反駁。
中二:周杰倫完爆其他所有華語男歌手。因為在我看來,同期出道其他男歌手都不咋滴,后起之秀們又都很弱。
尾段:再次同意題目。我們Jay Chou真的真的是最牛逼的華語唱作男歌手!
這個套路稍微好了一些,至少有了通過對比比較來凸顯出“最厲害”的意識,總算沒有跑題。然而,這樣的套路中間段會異常難寫,因為你需要有力論證其他所有華語唱作男歌手都沒他厲害,王力宏陶喆華晨宇薛之謙……請一個個拉出來仔細(xì)對比慢慢PK——且不談你是否真能自圓其說,有限的作文字?jǐn)?shù)和考試時間你確定夠用?
其實,對于此類“絕對詞”托福獨立寫作題型,我們最穩(wěn)妥也最好寫的方式是選擇在最開始就不同意題目所給觀點——反對絕對化表達(dá)其實很好操作,不管題目所給觀點看上去如何言之鑿鑿,你只需要找到一個反例就可以把它輕松推翻。比如我們可以按照下面這個思路來:
省心套路
首段:反對題目,周杰倫并不是最厲害的華語唱作男歌手。
中一:周杰倫是一位優(yōu)秀的華語唱作男歌手,有著頂級的天賦和努力,創(chuàng)作和演唱了很多優(yōu)質(zhì)華語音樂作品。
中二:但是周杰倫并不是最厲害的,因為很多其他華語唱作男歌手也同樣優(yōu)秀,比如同時期同樣創(chuàng)作高產(chǎn)似雜交水稻、現(xiàn)場唱功穩(wěn)到讓人送膝蓋的林俊杰,更不要提其他堪稱藝術(shù)家的前輩們和如雨后春筍般不斷出現(xiàn)的樂壇新秀們。
尾段:所以我反對題目。周杰倫雖然創(chuàng)作和演唱都厲害,但絕不是最厲害的華語唱作男歌手。
托福獨立寫作部分類似的“絕對詞”題目還有很多,比如以下這些:
Money is the most important aspect in a job.
To teach students the importance of a subject outside school is the best way to increase students’ interest in the subject.
Improving schools is the most important factor for the successful development of a country.
大家可以借鑒此類“省心”套路,在日常備考過程中做好練習(xí)與反思,不斷提升自己的托福寫作水平,實現(xiàn)能力和分?jǐn)?shù)的同步提升。
托福寫作開頭好句子寫法11則
采用不同的句子開頭是使句子多樣化的手段之一。我們造句及寫作的時候不應(yīng)該總是用 “subject-verb-object” 的結(jié)構(gòu)順序,而應(yīng)該盡量用不同的方式展開一個句子。不同的句子開頭既可以美化句子,同時也能使句子與句子之間自然過度,銜接自然,以免過于依賴過渡詞。在TWE 考試中主考官對句子結(jié)構(gòu)的多樣化也非常的重視,看看常見的句子開頭的方法!

托福寫作高分必背范文:Collectibles
Collectibles have been a part of almost every culture since ancient times. Whereas some objects have been collected for their usefulness, others have been selected for their aesthetic beauty alone. In the United States, the kinds of collectibles currently popular range from traditional objects such as stamps, coins, rare books, and art to more recent items of interest like dolls, bottles, baseball cards, and comic books.
Interest in collectibles has increased enormously during the past decade, in part because some collectibles have demonstrated their value as investments. Especially during cycles of high inflation, investors try to purchase tangibles that will at least retain their current market values. In general, the most traditional collectibles will be sought because they have preserved their value over the years, there is an organized auction market for them, and they are most easily sold in the event that cash is needed. Some examples of the most stable collectibles are old masters, Chinese ceramics, stamps, coins, rare books, antique jewelry, silver, porcelain, art by well-known artists, autographs, and period furniture. Other items of more recent interest include old photograph records, old magazines, post cards, baseball cards, art glass, dolls, classic cars, old bottles, and comic books. These relatively new kinds of collectibles may actually appreciate faster as short-term investments, but may not hold their value as long-term investments. Once a collectible has had its initial play, it appreciates at a fairly steady rate, supported by an increasing number of enthusiastic collectors competing for the limited supply of collectibles that become increasingly more difficult to locate.
