托福写作利用关键字开始思路

很多同学在备考托福写作的过程中,不知道应该如何开展思路,面对作文题目总是一筹莫展。今天我们就教大家如何利用一些关键词,帮助大家确定好自己的写作思路,从而展开托福写作。下面就是详细的内容介绍。

我们来看今天要讲解的作文题Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

Compared with people who live in urban areas, the people who live in rural areas can take better care of their families. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer。

读完这道题,同学们,你们觉得我们应该重点关注的词是哪几个呢?要在短时间快速地获取题目的信心,咱们就一定要学会找关键词哟,那关键词应该怎么找呢,有些学生会说是不是名词呀,或者说是不是动词呀,对啦!我们要准确定位名词,这个往往就是文章主体对象的提示词哟,那么我们为什么还要关注动词呢,诶,对啦,动词就是告诉我们谁做了一件什么事儿。好啦,在老师的讲解之后,那我们再来看一下这道题中的key words有哪些呢?太棒啦!第一个key word是compare,这告诉我们这道题是两个主体间的对比啦,第二个key word是urban and rural,这就已经为大家限定了主体是住在城市以及农村的人,最后一个关键词就是动词短语take better care of 啦,大家以前在初中是不是就学过take care of 这个短语呢,是的,原义是照顾。。。,在这个作文题中,无非就是在care前面加了一个比较急better啦,意思就是更好地照顾某人啦。

在分析完key words之后,这道题的意思就很明显啦是不是,题目在问大家与住在城市里的人相比,那些住在农村的人能够更好地照顾好他们的家人。好啦,接下来我们要做的当然就是构思啦。根据不同的学生,会有不同的立场。绝大多数的学生都会反对这个观点,他们都认为住在城市里的人才能更好地照顾家人。其实这道题的写作思路还是挺容易想到的,但是他们遇到的问题往往是观点和思路不够齐全,论证以及论证部分有些欠缺,我来帮助大家理清这道题的写作思路。

大家可以试着回忆一下,讲到写作思路的时候,除了“分对象讨论法”之外,还有一种方法叫做“列举原因法”。分对象讨论法,就是可以把这道题当中的families具体分为孩子、父母等等;列举原因法当然就是为考官一一陈列出为什么你觉得住在城市的人能够更好照顾家人的原因啦。对于这道题,其实大家可以把这两种方法结合起来,对于这道题目真真也是十分适用的。于是我们主要可以从以下几个方面进行构思,第一、大城市可以更好地培养孩子,大家说孩子的发展是不是很重要呢,不然也不会有那么多得父母为了培养孩子而倾尽一生了吧;第二、大城市还能提供更优质的教育,咱们可以想一想,大城市是不是有更先进的教学设备呢是不是有更权威的老师呢?所以这一点也是极好的角度;第三、大城市可以为老年人提供更便利的服务,试想一下,和老年人有关的服务无非就是医疗保险啦、优质的福利院啦。

下面是这种方法的具体应用:

例如:

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

People can take care of their family members in big cities better than in the countryside.

Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

这个话题中的key words我们可以定位为family members,这个时候我们把family members细分为:children和the aged,中间论述的时候就这两个群体分别展开。

另外,题目中的关键词,根据个人选择,也可定位为big cities,然后分析big cities所具备的优势:交通便利,医疗发达,教育水平高,经济发达等等。然后从列举的几个优势去阐述每个条件对于take care of their family的便利性。

所以,在key words的定位上,一个话题不同的人可以有不同的定位,只要有效的论证这个话题就可以。

再例如:

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

People with a more generalized skill set are more likely to succeed.

Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

本话题中的key words我们可以定位为skill和succeed。如果定位为前者,我们就可以把skill细化为:电脑编程英语等等,总之能够论述出这种技能在个人成功道路上的作用就可以,这属于正面论述,同意话题观点。如果关键词定位为succeed,成功的要素都有哪些呢,比如耐心,坚持,自信,知识等,而技能只是其中的一种,由此可以推出我们的论点是不同意该话题观点的。

托福写作备考从话题背景入手

面对托福写作,为什么写出的文章总是千篇一律,拿到写作题目,不知道怎样开展思路?其实大家在备考的时候,不妨从另外的角度来进行复习,例如从话题背景入手,来看看如何展开托福写作。

下面,我们来从托福写作一些话题的背景讨论一下考生如何应对。

举例一

关于gap year

题目:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Students should spend at least one year working or traveling before they go to the university.

这个题目拿到手并不难,很多中国孩子甚至暗自欣喜,因为可以说大话了,首先,赞同的占了绝大多数,比如:旅游可以broaden horizon,have a relaxation因为平时的学习实在太辛苦了,生活也太无聊了,感觉中国孩子一直处于水深火热之中,急需要gap year来拯救,而谈到工作的好处,那也是一堆一堆的漂亮话,比如: cultivate communicational skills,teamwork spirit,leadership 等,让具体说说怎么个培养这些技能了,又觉得思路拓展不开了。

当然,还有不少一部分考生还会信誓旦旦的说自己从此就能找到挚爱的专业了,大学的指明灯从此亮起,感觉之前的十多年都白活了,gap year重要到不能没有。 当然也有较少一部分同学是反对的,大部分理由都是觉得gap了这一年,之前学的东西就容易忘记,走入社会就不想学习云云。

以上大家写的如此雷同,枯燥,幼稚的原因又在哪里?因为我们中国孩子确实没有像样的gap year,因此必然很难写出有道理深入人心的东西,那么我们就来普及一下这个话题的背景。

大家可能不清楚,gap year在国外确实很流行,以至于很多网站专门从事gap year的中介。

先做介绍:Sandwiched between China and India, Nepal is at a crossroads of cultures and religions. Over 50 festivals are year are held in this enchanting country that you will be calling home for 5, 7 or 10 weeks.(在中国和印度之间, 尼泊尔正处于文化和宗教的十字路口。50多个节日是在这个迷人的国家举行, 你将在未来的 5, 7 或10周把它作为你的家)

然后说你为啥要去做志愿者:Despite this, Nepal is the second poorest country in Asia, and many of the population lack access to basic resources. This was worsened after the 2015 earthquake which devastated rural communities. These factors heighten the need for your help in the country.(尽管如此, 尼泊尔是亚洲第二贫穷国家, 许多人口无法获得基本资源。这在2015地震摧毁了农村社区之后更加恶化。这些因素增加了你在这个国家的帮助的需要)

下面是你要做什么:What will I be doing?

A Raleigh expedition is a unique volunteering opportunity for 17 to 24 year olds. On a Raleigh expedition in Nepal, you will work on community projects and an exhilarating adventure trek.(Raleigh远征是一个对于17 至24岁的人来说独特的志愿服务机会。在尼泊尔的罗利探险, 你将致力于社区项目和令人振奋的冒险跋涉)

重点来了,具体事例,有血有肉有意义: Community: You will be working in rural communities devastated by the 2015 earthquake. You and your team will be working on a water and sanitation project. This could involve rebuilding infrastructure or talking to people about important sanitation issues. (社区: 你将在2015地震摧毁的农村社区工作。你和你的团队将致力于水和卫生项目。这可能涉及重建基础设施或与人们谈论重要的环境卫生问题。)

看看别人的旅游是啥,怎么培养技能?Adventure: Experience the ultimate adventure trek! For 19 days, you and your team will be trekking up to 12km a day, camping out every night and learning about the communities you pass by. You will be camping in the foothills of the Himalayas – some of the most exciting mountain ranges in the world. Everyone will get the opportunity to lead the group for the day developing your teamwork and leadership skills.( 探险: 体验终极探险迷航!19天后, 你和你的团队将每天徒步 12km, 每天晚上露营, 了解你经过的社区。你将在喜马拉雅山脚下露营--世界上一些最激动人心的山脉。每个人都将有机会带领团队的一天, 发展你的团队精神和领导能力。)

Why Raleigh?

可以写作时候借鉴加抄袭了: On expedition you’ll make friends from around the world and develop skills for life. Raleigh International is a sustainable development charity with over 30 years’ experience. You’ll be joining a community of over 40,000 people who have volunteered with us before so you can be sure you’ll be in safe hands.(在探险中, 你将结交来自世界各地的朋友, 培养生活技能。Raleigh国际是一个具有30年经验的可持续发展慈善机构。你将加入一个4万多人的社区, 他们曾经自愿和我们在一起, 这样你就可以确保你的安全。)

“To know that we’ve made such a lasting difference to thousands of lives and generations to come will stay with me in my heart forever.” Freya – volunteered in Nepal("要知道, 我们已经对成千上万的生命和世代产生了如此持久的影响, 将永远与我在我的心中。志愿者freya说)
