1、TOEFL写作讲义第一章 写作基础知识第二章 独立写作攻略第三章 综合写作攻略第一章 写作基础知识一、理解托福写作的核心要多记笔记: 1、可以保证focus on my lecture,不会absent-minded 2、保证将来会有复习的clues写作的第一要务是把观点表达清楚。 1、写作必须有观点 2、要给出一个清楚的观点 写作考试不基于考生的真实身份。 托福作文中所有的例子和细节可以是真的,也可以是假的。 写作考试只考察语言水平,不考察思想水平。 举例:建工厂不同意的理由有三:1、造成污染;2、交通堵塞;3、物价上涨写作考试不测试考生的真实想法。 作文不是写想写的,而是写好写的、能写的。
2、 举例:父母是最好的老师,你同意吗? 同意的理由:1、how to behave myself; 2、value system;3、experience 上述理由都不能证明该题目 “后天的知识是老师教的,而不是父母教的”存在逻辑错误,将老师与父母并列起来,应该在老师前面加上修饰语“学校的”。写作是基于表达,而不是基于翻译。 举例:婀娜多姿:beautiful;妩媚动人:lovely You are extremely smart. extremely means very 托福考试30分钟最低要写300字,一般要求写400到500字 写作内容和语言同等重要。 把内容表达清楚可以拿到高分 cla
