託福寫作話題解析及範文:關於20年後

託福寫作範文:20年後人們將使用比現在更少的車

首先,綜合寫作改套路了,聽力不再去反駁閱讀了,而是去回答閱讀中的問題。而獨立寫作的題目裏竟然出現了一行小字: Be sure to use your own words. Do not use memorized example. 哦買尷!這簡直就是繼乒乓球由小改大後專爲淪陷亞洲人而設計的規則變更嘛!帝國主義亡我之心不死啊!

寶寶們別慌。今天,我們就來給各位獻上高分作文剖析。

(閱讀提示:請大家先整體讀一遍TPO35的題目及範文,後面會有我的分段解析)

TPO 35

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

In twenty years there will be fewer cars in use than there are today.

Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

大神文章:

The Earth today faces many problems. Among these problems, the top three, in some people's perspective, are probably global warming, pollution and energy crisis. All three, if we really look into them, can be connected with the pervasive use of private cars. It is because of this, I agree with the statement that there will be fewer cars in twenty years comparing with today.

First of all, people will definitely use fewer cars. If we look at the global media, we are seeing an increasing consciousness on environmental problems. Be it the famous documentay by Al Gore, An Inconvenient Truth, or the "Earth One Hour" movement. They all indicate a global consensus: "We need to help the environment". So what's the easiest way to help? Using fewer cars. According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Environmental Conservation in China, more than 40 percent of carbon dioxide produced by individuals are from private cars. If the trend of eco-friendly consciousness continues to grow in the next 20 years, people will, without a doubt, use fewer and fewer cars. So, in a nutshell, the first reason why people will drive less in twenty years is because they will be more environmentally-concerned.

Another key aspect is that, in twenty years, there will be fewer people in the world. If there are fewer people in the world, of course there will be fewer cars. If we are sensitive to global trends, we can see that a lot of countries in the world are facing a decrease in population. The biggest contributors to population growth, China and India, are also experiencing a decrease in the rate of population increase. In 20 years, I am confident that there will be, without a doubt, fewer people in the world. In this case, there will be a decrease in the needs of transportation. So, it is logical to assume that there will be fewer cars in the world twenty years from now.

A final argument I want to make is based on the ever developing technology. In the past twenty years, we have seen tremendous innovations taken place in the field of transportation. From high-speed trains to cars that run on electric, there is simply no telling what might happen twenty years from now. Considering how much we have achieved in the past twenty years, it is not so improbable for me to say that we might not even need cars in the near future. Who's to say that we won't be traveling on more efficient vehicles? Or maybe public transportation may become so convenient that we won't even consider using private transportation ever again? The fact is, we cannot deny these possibilities for they are very likely to happen. In this light, I am definitely supportive of the view that there will be fewer cars in the future.

From my arguments above, I think I am very optimistic about the future. I believe that, in twenty years, we will be living in a society with much fewer cars. And I am looking forward to that future.

首先我們來破題。

這是傳統的獨立寫作題型,由三句話組成:第一句 “Do you agree or disagree with the following statement”是考生要完成的task,第二句 “In twenty years there will be fewer cars in use than there are today”是寫作話題topic,第三句 “Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer” 是題目給你的requirement。所有考生都知道一篇作文必須“扣題”,在託福作文裏就是去扣這三句話。這樣一說,你是不是立馬理解了5分標準裏的前兩條了?

第一條“Effectively addresses the topic and task”,就是指扣題目裏的前兩句話。 第二條“Is well organized and well developed, using clearly appropriate explanations, exemplifications and/or details” 就是扣題目裏的第三句話。讀到這裏,請各位寶寶們反思一句:扣題,你真的做到了嗎?

因此,我們在寫這道題時,就一定要緊緊扣住“20年後人們將使用比現在更少的車”這個話題,並呈現這樣的分段:開頭段一定要提出自己是否同意這個觀點,正文段用reasons和examples去論證自己的觀點,再用結尾段收束整篇文章,搞定。

再看看姚神的,啊呀,與我的分段方式不謀而合呢!開頭段立論,3個正文段發展,結尾段收束——完美!有沒有發現很好地符合了5分標準第二條裏面的“is well organized”?童鞋們現在還敢不敢亂分段了?哼(傲嬌臉)。哈哈,接下來再細看每一段吧~

文章分析

01

The Earth today faces many problems. Among these problems, the top three, in some people's perspective, are probably global warming, pollution and energy crisis. All three, if we really look into them, can be connected with the pervasive use of private cars. It is because of this, I agree with the statement that there will be fewer cars in twenty years comparing with today.

開頭段最核心的功能是“立論”,也即回答題目的第一句話,表明自己的觀點是同意還是不同意。姚神開頭段的最後一句就是個明確的立論:同意題目觀點。當然姚神在立論前還做了lead-in,作用是告訴大家寫這篇文章的背景,引起讀者興趣。不過請注意,各位同學可別硬拽高端寫法。如果你的打字速度呵呵噠,那麼爲師強烈建議第一段直接立論;否則正文段沒時間好好寫,那可就得不償失啦。

02

First of all, people will definitely use fewer cars. If we look at the global media, we are seeing an increasing consciousness on environmental problems. Be it the famous documentay by Al Gore, An Inconvenient Truth, or the "Earth One Hour" movement. They all indicate a global consensus: "We need to help the environment". So what's the easiest way to help? Using fewer cars. According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Environmental Conservation in China, more than 40 percent of carbon dioxide produced by individuals are from private cars. If the trend of eco-friendly consciousness continues to grow in the next 20 years, people will, without a doubt, use fewer and fewer cars. So, in a nutshell, the first reason why people will drive less in twenty years is because they will be more environmentally-concerned.

正文段的作用是啥?論證你的觀點。換句話說,論證你的第一段立論。你第一段立的啥論,後面就要一門心思去證明它。如果正文段與第一段沒有完美印證,而是走歪了,那就違反了5分標準裏第三條的第一個詞 “unity”(統一、一致)。此外,用啥論證?題目要求裏不說了麼,reasons and examples. 看看姚神這段,以段落中部的according to a survey爲分界點,前面是reason,後面是example,是不是正中5分標準的下懷呢?曾經有同學問我:“老師,一定要寫example嗎?我覺得老寫my cousin Tom好low啊……”答案請見姚神作文,example不一定非要寫cousin Tom或者隔壁老王嘛,你也可以寫一個survey啊。當然,前提是,你真真切切地瞭解一個真實的survey,你可別到考場上自己胡編亂造啊。胡編亂造的最大特別就是細節缺失,而考場臨時湊出來的survey絕對會細節缺失,一看就是假的,想給你分都難啊!

最後,嘿嘿,不得不請大家注意一下,有木有發現姚神第3句的documentary打錯了,少了個字母 “r”?哈哈,其實呢,這種不影響讀者理解的小筆誤,就是5分標準裏第四條的minor lexical errors(微小的單詞錯誤),是不會影響你拿滿分噠!

03

Another key aspect is that, in twenty years, there will be fewer people in the world. If there are fewer people in the world, of course there will be fewer cars. If we are sensitive to global trends, we can see that a lot of countries in the world are facing a decrease in population. The biggest contributors to population growth, China and India, are also experiencing a decrease in the rate of population increase. In 20 years, I am confident that there will be, without a doubt, fewer people in the world. In this case, there will be a decrease in the needs of transportation. So, it is logical to assume that there will be fewer cars in the world twenty years from now.

再看姚神的第二個正文段。大家細看一下我挑出來的這些詞:another key aspect, if, in 20 years, in this case, so. 有沒有發現有啥共同點?沒錯,它們都有連接作用,凸顯前後文邏輯。很多同學在表達觀點時,不擅長使用連接詞,導致觀點之間邏輯不緊密,讓人感覺不到在一步步論證自己的觀點。這就與5分標準第三條裏的兩個詞 “progression(進展)”和 “coherence(連貫)”相悖。當然,如果你寫了一堆連接詞,但其實句意根本不是那層邏輯,那也是完全沒用的。比如:“我喜歡吃蘋果,所以我媽種了很多桔子。”這個句子裏確實有連接詞“所以”,然而這邏輯——這位同學是在逗我嗎?你好歹也要加個背景“我是撿來的”吧!

04

A final argument I want to make is based on the ever developing technology. In the past twenty years, we have seen tremendous innovations taken place in the field of transportation. From high-speed trains to cars that run on electric, there is simply no telling what might happen twenty years from now. Considering how much we have achieved in the past twenty years, it is not so improbable for me to say that we might not even need cars in the near future. Who's to say that we won't be traveling on more efficient vehicles? Or maybe public transportation may become so convenient that we won't even consider using private transportation ever again? The fact is, we cannot deny these possibilities for they are very likely to happen. In this light, I am definitely supportive of the view that there will be fewer cars in the future.

第三個正文段——說到這會有同學打斷我:“老師,我能不能只寫兩個正文段?”可以呀,大家看姚神這篇作文511個字,是大家在考場上能望其項背的麼?能打400字就是考神附體了好麼!所以,只寫兩個正文段,只要扣題了,發展清楚了,沒有問題噠~~另外說下姚神這段的語言,用了兩個rhetorical questions修辭性疑問句,在漢語裏我們稱之爲“反問句”或“設問句”。這非常好地滿足了5分標準裏第四條的syntactic variety句法多樣性。說到這裏,有沒有發現姚神這篇作文真的是360度全景符合5分標準呢!

05

From my arguments above, I think I am very optimistic about the future. I believe that, in twenty years, we will be living in a society with much fewer cars. And I am looking forward to that future.

再看最後一段,最後一段其實在託福寫作中的作用不大,收束全文再次點題即可。姚神的這段結尾除了中規中矩地收束以外,還加了句對未來的展望 “I am looking forward to that future”。但是還是提醒大家別在展望上寫太多哈,爲師擔心你把展望寫成了一個新觀點,但卻沒有展開它,那可就違背了well developed這一點啦。還是那句老話,高端寫法別硬拽,乖乖把時間留下來去發展正文段吧~

託福寫作題目分析:20年後人們將有更多休閒時間

今天需要練習的寫作題目:

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? In twenty years, people will have more leisure time.

--2007.6.9

先針對如上寫作題目寫句子

在我看來,人們將來肯定會擁有更多的休閒時間。因爲科技發展速度驚人,以至於處理很多工作時都會更加地高效、省時、便捷。

翻譯:

答案: In my point of view, people will definitely have more leisure time in the future, because technology has been developing at so fast a rate that it will be more efficient and, hence, time-saving for people to deal with most of their work.

漢英翻譯練習對應的段落:

模擬主幹段

(1)在我看來,人們將來肯定會擁有更多的休閒時間。

(2)因爲科技發展速度驚人,以至於處理很多工作時都會更加地高效、省時、便捷。

(3)二十年前的人們不敢想象每個人的辦公桌上都有一臺強大的電腦---需要用手填寫的一天的表格,現在用計算機往往只需要一小時就能完成;儘管我並不知道,二十年後我們將用什麼樣的高科技工具來提高工作效率,但進一步提高閒暇時間是肯定的。

(4)如果你回顧中國公共假日的歷史,從每週休息一天,到一天半,最後演化到現在的雙休日---你就會贊同社會進步對人們閒暇時間的增加的確很有促進。

託福寫作語料庫:20年後學生們是否不再使用紙媒書籍

【觀點類】

In twenty years from now, students will not use printed books any more. 20年以後,學生們將不再使用紙媒書籍,是否認同? (2009年3月29 日)

【題目解析】20年以後,學生們不再使用紙媒書籍 = 電子書籍可以完全取得紙媒閱讀,是否同意?

【作家立場】電子書籍有其優勢,但是,紙媒書籍依然不會被代替,尤其是對於學生而言。

【寫作思路】讓步反駁:三分讓步;七分反駁

【新東方網薛鵬思路拓展】

紙媒書籍存在的理由和不可替代性:

1. 無論電子閱讀多麼便利和有趣,很多學生改變不了用紙媒書籍學習的習慣。例如,我的同齡人,他們不習慣也不喜歡電子書,尤其是以電子書作爲教科書,因爲電子閱讀極其不便,無法隨時地做標記和筆記。

2. 對比其他的電子讀物,傳統的紙媒有其優勢。具體而言,很多電子小說可隨意發表,質量難保證,但是,紙媒書籍,比較而言,內容優質。 例如,作爲文學愛好者,我喜歡閱讀文學作品, 網絡小說很少吸引我,因爲其內容比較庸俗,文筆很差,極少帶來閱讀快感。相反,我自己喜歡閱讀一本名爲《作家》的雜誌,我不讀網絡雜誌,因爲拿到一本新書的感覺很踏實,淡淡的墨香激發我立刻閱讀的興趣。

手機閱讀或網絡閱讀的利好:(讓步段)

我承認,電子閱讀也有其流行的理由,例如:儲存量大,攜帶便利,價格低廉,資源豐富,比較環保。但是,我想反駁的是:電子閱讀也有其弊端。比如,長期接觸電子輻射有害視力,另外,電子書庫信息量很大,有時候,我們反而無從選擇自己的喜歡的書籍。

【尾段總結】電子閱讀僅僅是傳統閱讀的一種有效的補充,而非替代品。

4. It is true that the number of reading printed books is, to some extent,declining, but, this trend does not necessarily indicate conventional way of reading will give way to e-reading. 的確,那些閱讀印刷書籍的人數在一定程度上減少,但是,這不一定意味着電子閱讀會取代傳統閱讀。

5. The quality of many e-books cannot be ensured because almost every individual can publish articles on line,conversely,reading printed books with excellent contents can stir readers’ imagination, tap their creativity and deepen their insights into their lives. 因爲幾乎人人可以發表網絡文章,所以,很多電子讀物的質量難以保障,相反,閱讀內容優質的紙媒書籍可以激發人的想象力,開發人的創造性,加深人對於生活的洞察。

6. Indeed,I have to concede that many readers,especially teenagers, seem to be drawn to the popular e-reading.我承認,很多人,尤其是青少年讀者,似乎被被流行的電子閱讀所吸引。

7. Nonetheless,I want to rebut that on no account can we neglect the downsides triggered by e-reading. 但是,我想反駁的是任何情況下我們不能忽視電子閱讀帶來的弊端。

8. First,as for some of my peers,it is hard for them to change deeply rooted habit of reading printed books or newspapers. 對於我的很多同齡人而言,他們很難改變根深蒂固的閱讀紙媒的習慣。
