不少同学因为托福写作而拖了后腿,这种情况只有在日常生活中多读些托福写作范文,了解托福写作中的逻辑思维,才可避免。托福作文允许有错误存在,个别的语法错误、用词不当以及诸如拼写,标点符号和大小写等错误不影响一篇文章得满分。对于托福写作来说,更重要的是文章的要点明确、逻辑通畅,语言的整体高水平。
托福范文需要有恰当的用词,巧妙的语句,清晰的逻辑,新鲜的思路,这些亮点可能在一篇托福作文范文中,不会涉及到全部,但是,总有一些亮点与托福平庸作文区别开。如何正确借鉴托福范文,用亮点来弥补自己的不做呢?
首先,应当挑选题目新、话题多样、写法全面的高质量范文资料,这一点至关重要,倘若范文质量欠佳,势必会影响备考效率。然后,按照如下步骤使用范文资料:
第1步,通读30 篇高分范文,注意寻找文章的写作思路和主要论点,把握整体框架。以《托福高分范文大全》中的文章为例,2013 年6 月15 日考题:
第2步,精读10 篇范文,理清每句话之间的关系。如:Relatives were co-habitants inside a large house where more intimate relationships could be stably maintained and carried on. Nowadays, however, nuclear families are taking up the greatest ratio of social build-up... 这两句话之间形成了转折的逻辑关系。又如:Minor setbacks might cause a loss of confidence, or even produce overwhelming distress. Therefore I think it is unrealistic to expect a person who is down in spirit to accomplish their goals. 这两句话之间形成了因果逻辑关系
第3步,详细分析10 篇范文,弄懂每句话内部的关系以及每句话之间的关系。如:In addition, obsessed with computer games, children are gradually becoming slaves under the control of the pre-designed game modes. As a matter of fact, it is not only a waste of time, but may also considerably mislead children mentally... 在这段话中,标志词in addition 表明首句承前启后,该句中,过去分词短语obssessed with... 表原因,children are usually... 是原因所导致的结果。第二句是对首句的进一步解释说明,注意not only...but also... 这个典型句式的应用。
第4步,选取经过详细分析的10 篇范文题目进行仿写练习。
第5步,再选取另外10 道题目进行写作练习,完成后与范文对照,寻找自己的优点与不足之处。
在这里大家可以参考一下综合写作的满分要求:
A response at this level successfully selects the important information from the lecture and coherently and accurately presents this information in relation to the relevant information presented in the reading. The response is well organized and occasional language errors that are present do not result in inaccurate or imprecise presentation of content or connections。
了解了综合写作的评分细则,我们可以列出同学们需要锻炼的能力列表:阅读能力,听力和速记能力,一定的改写能力,所以大家在借鉴范文的时候需要有针对性地去锻炼这些能力,保证自己的写作考试可以完美通过。
