托福独立写作对于中国考生来说是一个很大的考验,那么接下来就和出国留学网来看看2020年托福独立写作高分指南。
段落分析
一、审题、确定托福立场、列出理由
(只需要在草稿纸上用英文单词或汉语列出各个理由,防止遗忘),最少3分钟最多5分钟。
要避免两个极端:
a.用时太少,理由没有想清楚就开始写,不仅造成文章逻辑结构不清,还会引起行文中频繁的修正,欲速则不达;b.用时太多,不要追求一次思考就能把每一条理由及相关例证都想出来。其实想出两条之后就可以动笔,各个理由的例证可以写到该段时边思考边写。这一点你不必怀疑,只要你的思维还是正常的,一定能做到。
二、托福正文写作最少22分钟最多26分钟:
a.各段写作时,注意对段落的不同部分给予不同的重视。主题句给予最大重视,注意炼句,别说你不想写主题句,主题句可以使读者和笔者本人更清晰该段落写什么。各段中支持性细节写作不必遵循相同的模式。
有n种选择可供参考:1.举具体事例;2.说对方相对缺点;3.使用数据;4.使用假想例子;5.使用类比、比喻、引用等修辞手段来论述。哪一种你最容易想出来,就用哪一种。
b.考前将文章开头、结尾、例证、让步等各种句型背熟练,并且练习和模考时把他们用熟,要象做完型填空一样对待考场作文。别试图在考场上再去临时决定比如哪种开头好,怎样结尾好。使用自己选种的套话。
c.当被告知还有5分钟结束时,一般你应该已经写到最后一条理由,或者已经在做结尾。要确保文章有结尾段(不排除将它和最后一条理由的末段结合在一起的可能性)。
三、检查需要1-3分钟,有侧重点地检查:
a.句法:确保每句话是完整的,有谓语,且简单句只有一个谓语。
b.时态:文章绝大部分使用的是一般现在时;一般现在时第三人称要使用单数;使用过去发生的事例时用的是过去时;
c.主谓一致按此三步,持续练习5篇以上,可以确保时间问题。
如何在30分钟行文的整个过程中保持书面整洁:
A、TWE要求必须用铅笔写作文,你要自己准备好铅笔和橡皮。橡皮要有韧性,太硬会擦破纸,有错误要擦干净再改;
B、第一遍写作时要求字迹不要太大也不要太小,通常一行写10-12个左右单词为宜。如果书法不好,可以在考前练习写一下斜体的26个字母。
开头方式
一、用副词开头
(1) 副词修饰全句
Luckily, he didn’t know my phone number; otherwise, he would bother me.

Interestingly, cats and dogs can hardly get along well in a house.
修饰全句常用的副词有:
obviously / undoubtedly
apparently / fortunately
clearly / unfortunately
incredibly / luckily
unluckily / surprisingly
frighteningly
这些副词大多数表示说话人对全句的看法,在意思上相等与 “It is ... 形容词that ...” 。
举个例子:
Obviously, he is nervous about the test. =It is obvious that he is nervous about the test.
Unfortunately, he tripped over and fell in the mud. =It is unfortunate that he tripped over and fell in the mud.
(2) 强调副词
Hurriedly, the man drew me a scratch map to show me the direction.

二、用插入语开头,表示说话人的态度,或使句子的意思更加准确

Generally speaking, winter in Vancouver is gloomy.
类似的插入语有:
no wonder,no doubt
in other words,in my opinion
in conclusion,in fact
as a matter of fact
三、用形容词、并列形容词或形容词短语开头,修饰句子的主语,表示主语的特征或状态
