在准备托福写作考试的过程中,备考生们为确保自己可以取得一个满意的作文分数,都会积累一些写作素材。托福写作素材该如何积累呢?出国留学网小编将与同学们分享三个素材累积的方法,希望可以助大家一臂之力!
一、准备常用论据
首先来看300字,与考生之前接触的100字、200字词数要求的文章相比,对文章所含内容信息量的需求增大了,也就是说需要对文章有一个更加细致更加深入的描述。需要注意到细节的重要,但是巧妇难为无米之炊,如果没有足够的素材积累,如何写出细节呢,说来说去不过就是那么几句话,文章难免干瘪不饱满。因此,在解决新托福写作要求字数多,内容量大的问题上,让考生平时准备一些常用的论据不失为一种好方法。
二、分析材料段落,背诵积累
在托福作文短短30分钟时间内让考生不仅要想到观点,而且要把观点写细致,需要在考试前提前准备。所谓的提前准备,并不是通常所说的模版,而是通过读一些比较高端的国外杂志,诸如国家地理,经济学家之类,并且从中挑选出这些文章当中的论证段落,好好的分析,看看这些论据是怎么样做到层层展开,层层递进,直至把事情说细致的,其中不乏有许多涉及面广的例子,可以直接背诵积累。
三、分类素材,提高效率
另外托福写作素材积累要注意:准备例子,并把它们写下来,进行分类。一个例子往往可以应对好几个同类的题目,这样做是效率最高的办法。万事开头难,素材的积累是一个漫长的过程,要做好坚持的心理准备。不仅是要特意去阅读积累,平时的学习生活也要留心。当然素材积累的过程还涉及储备词汇,包含词组,成语。学习灵活运用这些词汇进行表达,有利于在写作考试时间内用很好的它们遣词造句。
出国留学网小编在此为大家细扒一些托福写作中常见的“致命伤”,详细内容如下,大家可以参考一下~
托福写作失分点:
1.用词不当
学生们写的作文里或多或少都会有一些用词不当的问题,但是要注意的是一些最最基本的错误是不能犯的。
In the show, if participators answer twenty problems that the host mentioned correctly, they will get five hundreds thousand U.S. dollars as a prize.
——problems应改为questions
2.拼写错误
这里的拼写错误不是指在考试时候的误打,而是本身对词汇拼写记忆的错误。
In conclusion, issue of whether parents are the best teachers is a complex one, requiring subjective judgement, consequently, there are no easy or certain answers.
——judgement应改为judgment
3.乱用大词
First of all, children can earn money from their jobs, although there isn’t too much, but they will keep their salary gingerliness.
这里的gingerliness根本是不知所云。该句子还有以下问题:
1)该作文题目是讲学生是否应该做兼职,因此children的出现就显得很莫名其妙;
2)although和but是不能连用的;
3)指代不明,they不知道是指代前面的什么;
4.表达中式
The second argument-it might have been noticed by others-is that in some occasion, it is quite difficult to compare parents to teachers because parents are a kind of people, teachers are a kind of vocation.
句子中划线部分的表达过于中式化。
5.表意重复
They shocked their friends, devastated their families, crushed their best friends.
前面已经提到了朋友,后面又提到朋友。
The show is so compelling but attractive.
compelling和attractive是同义词,所以这里这么写就让人不明白。
6.固定用法错误
To some extends, I agree with the author’s general assertion that if parents also have a comprehensive sense of professional knowledge.
——To some extends应改为To some extent
7.例证夸张
For example, when a doctor faces a patient who has got cancer, the doctor cannot tell the truth, for the truth may cause the patient’s immediate death.
虽然善意的谎言是必要的,但是其功效显然没有这么大。
8.成分多余
According to a comprehensive investigation which is carried out by Chinese Academy of Social Sciences shows that there is an increase in the number of university students who are taking part-time jobs.
该句中的shows that是多余的成分。
9.词性混乱
However, the questions such as "Have you ever regretted marrying your husband" may be very privacy and embarrassingly.
句子中的privacy和embarrassingly应该改成private和embarrassing。
10.文体不正式
All of the players gonna to tell the truth in attempt to win $500,000.
——gonna过于口语化。
In addition, I think people shoudn’t always tell the truth to others.
——在托福作文中尽量不要用缩写,这里应该写should not。
11.两个独立句子间无连词
Another point is that young people are more aggressive and energetic, and it’s suitable for them to choose such jobs, which will provide them with rich experience that is essential for their future success.
这个错误犯的频率相当高,一定要注意。
12.时态错误
托福大作文一般使用现在时态,除了拿过去事件作为例子用过去时态。
Some people claimed that news media has enormous influence and is a detrimental creation.
—— claimed应该改为claim
13.不知所云
They also mention that in modern society there are too much entertainment bothering them as the huge gap lying between them and the success.
这句话完全不知道是什么意思,逻辑混乱,这是中国学生经常犯的错误。
