托福写作是一个真正体现英语实际应用的能力的单项。写作即考察了考生的词汇语法基础,又是考察学员对句子结构,文章主旨的把握。下面新航道与大家一起来看下,如何提高写作能力?
托福写作高分前提是把握好时间
步:看写作题目,审题,列出写作提纲3-5分钟。
第二步:新托福作文正文在在22-26分钟之间完成。
各段写作时,注意对段落的不同部分给予不同的重视。考前将文章开头、结尾、例证、让步等各种句型背熟练,并且练习和模考时把他们用熟,要象做完型填空一样对待考场作文。当被告知还有5分钟结束时,一般你应该已经写到最后一条理由,或者已经在做结尾。
第三步:托福写作检查需要1-3分钟,有侧重点地检查。
写作过程注意篇章结构,合理布局
开始部分(openingparagraph)说出文中的要点、核心问题。
正文部分(Bodyparagraphs)围绕主题开展叙述、讨论。
结尾部分(concludingparagraphs)对全文的总结和概括。
要做到全文中心突出、段落之间必须是有机地联系,内容完整、连贯。前后呼应,祛除与主题无关的内容.
确定主题句,明确自己观点
主题句是对全文的概括,是文章的主旨。它能在文章中起到“画龙点睛”的作用。通常主题句出现在一篇文章的开头,而后,全文对主题句所提出的内容进行解释,扩展。
写主题句应注意以下几点:
①归纳出你要写的文章的几个要点
②提炼出一句具有概括性的话
③主题句应具有可读性,抓住、吸引读者。
巧用连接词 增加文章的连贯性 延展性
要想使文章有整体性、连贯性,就要学会正确使用连接词
