二、托福综合写作备考要点
1. 提升总结归纳材料信息的能力
综合写作的重点在于对听力材料和阅读材料中给出的信息进行复述,而想要复述首先必然要能够把这些信息总结归纳起来,也就是先summarize才能rewrite。两个信息来源中阅读部分的总结相对简单,因为阅读文章在第一遍看完后之后还能再看到,考生只需要在初次读文章的时候把阅读材料的结构框架列出来即可,也就是文章的珠子和分论点,至于论述细节案例可以等之后开始写了再慢慢补充进去。
2. 制作综合写作的标准看框架模板
大家多看一些综合写作的高分范文就可以发现,虽然用词用句上因为主题差异而多有不同,但综合写作的整体叙述框架一般来说都是较为固定的。无外乎阅读文章主要提出了什么观点,分别提了哪几个分论点用了哪些例子来证明,之后听力中又是如何看待主观点,对各个分论点如何反驳等等。其套路化的叙述风格是非常明显的。
三、托福写作病句写法列举
1. 破碎句
所谓破碎句,就是句子不完整,通常是没有谓语(或者说谓语是动词的非谓语形式,如分词),或者是从句单独成句。
破碎句:She singing alone. (无谓语,singing是现在分词)
正确句:She is singing alone.
破碎句:He did not come. Because he was sick. (从句单独成句)
正确句:He did not come because he was sick.
2. 接连句
所谓接连据,就是两个句子直接连在一起,既未使用连词,也未使用正确的标点符号。
接连句: Professionals such as lawyers or accountants usually work longer hours than factory workers they have greater freedom in planning their time.
正确句一: Professionals such as lawyers or accountants usually work longer hours than factory workers. However, they have greater freedom in planning their time.
正确句二: Professionals such as lawyers or accountants usually work longer hours than factory workers; however, they have greater freedom in planning their time.
3. 句子连接不正确
所谓托福写作句子连接不正确,就是两个独立的句子之间以逗号连接,这是不合英语语法的。正确的做法是以连词、分号、冒号、句号等连接两个句子。
不正确句: Breaking chalk into two pieces is a physical change, there is no change in the composition of the chalk.
正确句: Breaking chalk into two pieces is a physical change, so there is no change in the composition of the chalk.
四、托福写作备考中高分范文的正确用法技巧
托福写作哪些范文最重要?
托福写作范文的重要性可以按照其分数来分辨,一般来说,范文中4分和5分的文章是最有价值的,因为能够达到这个分数水平的文章已经是达到了很高水平的文章。对于这些文章大家就不能只是简单的熟读和背诵了,而是需要逐字逐句分析体会作者的写作思路及修辞用法。
大量阅读范文形成惯性思维
俗话说读书破万卷下笔如有神,等我们真正写作练习到一定的程度,那么写作的顺手也就是自然而然的事了。所以考生在阅读范文时也需要提升量。大家可以通过大量阅读范文来形成一些思维习惯,比如看到某个题就能想到要怎么展开,一些优质的句式用词能够信手拈来。
结合范文学会修改自己的文章
同一个题目,考生自己写出的文章在质量上大多是很难和范文媲美的。因此,考生也需要学会结合范文来修改自己的文章。特别是在同一题目自己练过一遍同时也有范文可以参考的时候,考生如果能通过对比来发现自身的不足并进行修改,就等于得到了一篇吸收了范文精华的好文章。而如果大家不勤修改自己的文章,就不知道自己原来的漏洞和不足在哪,只是闷头写自然也难有提升。
