托福写作水平提高不是一朝一夕的事情,如果在有限的时间内独立完成作文构架及填充的任务,不但时间紧张,而且有可能会因为匆忙而犯下很多不该犯下的失误,从而影响了成绩。从这个角度来说,托福写作模板的存在是很有必要的,不过一味的照搬照抄难免就落了下乘。
下面我们来看一下如何使用托福写作模板:
比如以下两个“魔板“是分别描述质疑或者反驳以及支持或者加强的:
Integrated Writing Task
How the Integrated Writing Task is phrased:
If the lecture challenges the information in the reading passage, the writing task will usually be phrased in one of the following ways:
?Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they cast doubt on specific points made in the reading passage。
?Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they challenge specific claims/arguments made in the reading passage。
?Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to specifically explain how they answer the problems raised in the reading passage。 接下来,我将以如下例子来告诉大家如果提炼“魔板”:
Getting the Templates
The first point the professor makes that casts doubt on the reading is his point about the behavior of stags。 The professor shows how the actions of animal can be interpreted in different ways。 For example, some people interpret the stag’s actions as being for the “good of the species,” but the professor shows that the stag is actually acting in self-interest。 This casts doubt on the reading because it appears that the crickets’ behavior can be interpreted as helping only individual crickets and not the group as a whole。 The professor then talks about the results of the experiment, which seems to indicate the crickets are acting only in self-interest。
Another point the professor makes that casts doubt on the reading is his point about the intelligence of animals and insects。 As he states, it would seem to require a lot of intelligence to evaluate how a behavior will affect an entire species。 This makes the explanation in the reading seem less likely; a cricket is probably unable to think of the consequences of its actions。 It is more likely that the cricket is only acting out of self-preservation, as the professor indicates。
The first point the professor makes that casts doubt on the reading is his point about__________________________________。
The professor shows that_____________________________________。
For example, ______________________________, but the professor shows that_______________________________________。
This casts doubt on the reading because it appears that_________________________________。
The professor then talks about_________________________, which seems to indicate that___________________________。
Another point the professor makes that casts doubt on the reading is his point about__________________________________。
As he states, it would seem to___________________________。
This makes the explanation in the reading seem less likely;_____________________________________。
It is more likely that________________________, ad the professor indicates。
实际上,大家从上面这个例子就可以发现“托福写作模板”的提取过程:
1·先认真读完一篇满分范文
2·再用笔划掉其中涉及题目具体内容的部分
3·最后把余下来的部分抄写下来即可
但“托福写作模板”做出来后只是做了一小半工作,大家还必须学会如何往里面填空,实际上最简单的方法就是看着题目把具体内容自己填进去,然后跟范文对比,找出填空的精华技巧所在,因为在后半部分的GRE/GMAT中我还会详细讲解,所以这里只是先告诉大家这样一个简单方法。
大家如果想在今后新托福的考试中作文部分有所突破,那么就应该按照我这个提炼“托福写作模板”的方法,去至少提炼20篇左右的满分范文,再加以有机排列组合成自己独特的考试“魔板”,最后进行集中填空,那么新托福作文25分将不再是神话。
