审题,是写作的第一步,却常常被我们所忽略。有太多考生只着眼于如何写出秀丽的语句和高档的词汇,而没有搞清写作的本质–查询学生关于某一论题进行精确联接表述的才能。这也是为啥许多同学尽管英语不弱,在托福考试的独立有些中却只能拿到 fai r或 good 傍边较低的4分。那么究竟怎样才干愈加简略地拿到独立写作的满分呢? 笔者今日将经过罗列以往考过的真题进行解析,告诉我们如何审题,换句?担绾问垢叻直涞糜觓chievable。
同学们考写作考了这么多年,大大都出题的方法都已纯熟于心,看到标题之后觉得了解所以兴冲冲提笔就写,其实,这种看似”熟练”的表象下藏着无量的风险–同学们很有可以因为看得太快而忽略某个抉择标题意思的要害词。例如:
例1:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Advertising is the only main cause for people’s unhealthy eating habits.
看到这个标题,同学们马上会初步想,有没有other reasons for unhealthy habits,想出三条如:1. People’s tight schedules do not allow them to eat at regular hours; 2. Sometimes people are eager to lose weight or to keep fit so that they
go on “endless diets”; 3. Bearing heavy burden both physically and mentally, some consider eating constantly as their most effective stress reliever. 综上所述,advertising is not the only cause.
这个写法看起来非常齐备,但其实犯了一个不起眼却严峻的差错–标题不是要咱们证明it is not the only cause,而是要咱们去证明it is not the only main cause。多一个”main”,意思是很纷歧样的。假定咱们只需要证明it is not the only cause,那么找出other causes即可即例1中的写法。可是,假定咱们要证明it is not the only main cause,就需要证明other causes that we mentioned are also main causes,这就需要在每一段中加上一些专门的阐明。或许,更简略的办法是去证明advertising is not even a cause, 直接在每段的结束加上advertising与该段所论说的unhealthy eating habit无关的论说即可。If it is not a cause, how can it be the onlymain cause? 这样一来,就不必经过证明还有其他main cause来争辩反驳了,实际上,证明某种cause是main cause仍是挺有难度的,因而笔者举荐同学们用后一种方法进行论说。因而,文章仍是disagree,而三段的主题句别离大约是:1、1. People’s tight schedules do not allow them to eat at regular hours, and it is obvious that they are too busy
to be influenced by advertising; 2. Sometimes people are eager to lose weight or to keep fit so that they go on “endless diets”, and this is more like a result of human nature, the pursuit of beauty, but not advertising; 3. Bearing heavy burden both physically and mentally, some consider eating constantly as their most effective stress reliever, and it is quite clear that no advertising encourages
them to do so.
