托福寫作利用關(guān)鍵字開始思路
很多同學(xué)在備考托福寫作的過程中,不知道應(yīng)該如何開展思路,面對作文題目總是一籌莫展。今天我們就教大家如何利用一些關(guān)鍵詞,幫助大家確定好自己的寫作思路,從而展開托福寫作。下面就是詳細(xì)的內(nèi)容介紹。
我們來看今天要講解的作文題Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Compared with people who live in urban areas, the people who live in rural areas can take better care of their families. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer。
讀完這道題,同學(xué)們,你們覺得我們應(yīng)該重點(diǎn)關(guān)注的詞是哪幾個(gè)呢?要在短時(shí)間快速地獲取題目的信心,咱們就一定要學(xué)會找關(guān)鍵詞喲,那關(guān)鍵詞應(yīng)該怎么找呢,有些學(xué)生會說是不是名詞呀,或者說是不是動(dòng)詞呀,對啦!我們要準(zhǔn)確定位名詞,這個(gè)往往就是文章主體對象的提示詞喲,那么我們?yōu)槭裁催€要關(guān)注動(dòng)詞呢,誒,對啦,動(dòng)詞就是告訴我們誰做了一件什么事兒。好啦,在老師的講解之后,那我們再來看一下這道題中的key words有哪些呢?太棒啦!第一個(gè)key word是compare,這告訴我們這道題是兩個(gè)主體間的對比啦,第二個(gè)key word是urban and rural,這就已經(jīng)為大家限定了主體是住在城市以及農(nóng)村的人,最后一個(gè)關(guān)鍵詞就是動(dòng)詞短語take better care of 啦,大家以前在初中是不是就學(xué)過take care of 這個(gè)短語呢,是的,原義是照顧。。。,在這個(gè)作文題中,無非就是在care前面加了一個(gè)比較急better啦,意思就是更好地照顧某人啦。
在分析完key words之后,這道題的意思就很明顯啦是不是,題目在問大家與住在城市里的人相比,那些住在農(nóng)村的人能夠更好地照顧好他們的家人。好啦,接下來我們要做的當(dāng)然就是構(gòu)思啦。根據(jù)不同的學(xué)生,會有不同的立場。絕大多數(shù)的學(xué)生都會反對這個(gè)觀點(diǎn),他們都認(rèn)為住在城市里的人才能更好地照顧家人。其實(shí)這道題的寫作思路還是挺容易想到的,但是他們遇到的問題往往是觀點(diǎn)和思路不夠齊全,論證以及論證部分有些欠缺,我來幫助大家理清這道題的寫作思路。
大家可以試著回憶一下,講到寫作思路的時(shí)候,除了“分對象討論法”之外,還有一種方法叫做“列舉原因法”。分對象討論法,就是可以把這道題當(dāng)中的families具體分為孩子、父母等等;列舉原因法當(dāng)然就是為考官一一陳列出為什么你覺得住在城市的人能夠更好照顧家人的原因啦。對于這道題,其實(shí)大家可以把這兩種方法結(jié)合起來,對于這道題目真真也是十分適用的。于是我們主要可以從以下幾個(gè)方面進(jìn)行構(gòu)思,第一、大城市可以更好地培養(yǎng)孩子,大家說孩子的發(fā)展是不是很重要呢,不然也不會有那么多得父母為了培養(yǎng)孩子而傾盡一生了吧;第二、大城市還能提供更優(yōu)質(zhì)的教育,咱們可以想一想,大城市是不是有更先進(jìn)的教學(xué)設(shè)備呢是不是有更權(quán)威的老師呢?所以這一點(diǎn)也是極好的角度;第三、大城市可以為老年人提供更便利的服務(wù),試想一下,和老年人有關(guān)的服務(wù)無非就是醫(yī)療保險(xiǎn)啦、優(yōu)質(zhì)的福利院啦。
下面是這種方法的具體應(yīng)用:
例如:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
People can take care of their family members in big cities better than in the countryside.
Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
這個(gè)話題中的key words我們可以定位為family members,這個(gè)時(shí)候我們把family members細(xì)分為:children和the aged,中間論述的時(shí)候就這兩個(gè)群體分別展開。
另外,題目中的關(guān)鍵詞,根據(jù)個(gè)人選擇,也可定位為big cities,然后分析big cities所具備的優(yōu)勢:交通便利,醫(yī)療發(fā)達(dá),教育水平高,經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)達(dá)等等。然后從列舉的幾個(gè)優(yōu)勢去闡述每個(gè)條件對于take care of their family的便利性。
所以,在key words的定位上,一個(gè)話題不同的人可以有不同的定位,只要有效的論證這個(gè)話題就可以。
再例如:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
People with a more generalized skill set are more likely to succeed.
Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
本話題中的key words我們可以定位為skill和succeed。如果定位為前者,我們就可以把skill細(xì)化為:電腦,編程,英語等等,總之能夠論述出這種技能在個(gè)人成功道路上的作用就可以,這屬于正面論述,同意話題觀點(diǎn)。如果關(guān)鍵詞定位為succeed,成功的要素都有哪些呢,比如耐心,堅(jiān)持,自信,知識等,而技能只是其中的一種,由此可以推出我們的論點(diǎn)是不同意該話題觀點(diǎn)的。
托福寫作備考從話題背景入手
面對托福寫作,為什么寫出的文章總是千篇一律,拿到寫作題目,不知道怎樣開展思路?其實(shí)大家在備考的時(shí)候,不妨從另外的角度來進(jìn)行復(fù)習(xí),例如從話題背景入手,來看看如何展開托福寫作。
下面,我們來從托福寫作一些話題的背景討論一下考生如何應(yīng)對。
舉例一
關(guān)于gap year
題目:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Students should spend at least one year working or traveling before they go to the university.
這個(gè)題目拿到手并不難,很多中國孩子甚至暗自欣喜,因?yàn)榭梢哉f大話了,首先,贊同的占了絕大多數(shù),比如:旅游可以broaden horizon,have a relaxation因?yàn)槠綍r(shí)的學(xué)習(xí)實(shí)在太辛苦了,生活也太無聊了,感覺中國孩子一直處于水深火熱之中,急需要gap year來拯救,而談到工作的好處,那也是一堆一堆的漂亮話,比如: cultivate communicational skills,teamwork spirit,leadership 等,讓具體說說怎么個(gè)培養(yǎng)這些技能了,又覺得思路拓展不開了。
當(dāng)然,還有不少一部分考生還會信誓旦旦的說自己從此就能找到摯愛的專業(yè)了,大學(xué)的指明燈從此亮起,感覺之前的十多年都白活了,gap year重要到不能沒有。 當(dāng)然也有較少一部分同學(xué)是反對的,大部分理由都是覺得gap了這一年,之前學(xué)的東西就容易忘記,走入社會就不想學(xué)習(xí)云云。
以上大家寫的如此雷同,枯燥,幼稚的原因又在哪里?因?yàn)槲覀冎袊⒆哟_實(shí)沒有像樣的gap year,因此必然很難寫出有道理深入人心的東西,那么我們就來普及一下這個(gè)話題的背景。
大家可能不清楚,gap year在國外確實(shí)很流行,以至于很多網(wǎng)站專門從事gap year的中介。
先做介紹:Sandwiched between China and India, Nepal is at a crossroads of cultures and religions. Over 50 festivals are year are held in this enchanting country that you will be calling home for 5, 7 or 10 weeks.(在中國和印度之間, 尼泊爾正處于文化和宗教的十字路口。50多個(gè)節(jié)日是在這個(gè)迷人的國家舉行, 你將在未來的 5, 7 或10周把它作為你的家)
然后說你為啥要去做志愿者:Despite this, Nepal is the second poorest country in Asia, and many of the population lack access to basic resources. This was worsened after the 2015 earthquake which devastated rural communities. These factors heighten the need for your help in the country.(盡管如此, 尼泊爾是亞洲第二貧窮國家, 許多人口無法獲得基本資源。這在2015地震摧毀了農(nóng)村社區(qū)之后更加惡化。這些因素增加了你在這個(gè)國家的幫助的需要)
下面是你要做什么:What will I be doing?
A Raleigh expedition is a unique volunteering opportunity for 17 to 24 year olds. On a Raleigh expedition in Nepal, you will work on community projects and an exhilarating adventure trek.(Raleigh遠(yuǎn)征是一個(gè)對于17 至24歲的人來說獨(dú)特的志愿服務(wù)機(jī)會。在尼泊爾的羅利探險(xiǎn), 你將致力于社區(qū)項(xiàng)目和令人振奮的冒險(xiǎn)跋涉)
重點(diǎn)來了,具體事例,有血有肉有意義: Community: You will be working in rural communities devastated by the 2015 earthquake. You and your team will be working on a water and sanitation project. This could involve rebuilding infrastructure or talking to people about important sanitation issues. (社區(qū): 你將在2015地震摧毀的農(nóng)村社區(qū)工作。你和你的團(tuán)隊(duì)將致力于水和衛(wèi)生項(xiàng)目。這可能涉及重建基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施或與人們談?wù)撝匾沫h(huán)境衛(wèi)生問題。)
看看別人的旅游是啥,怎么培養(yǎng)技能?Adventure: Experience the ultimate adventure trek! For 19 days, you and your team will be trekking up to 12km a day, camping out every night and learning about the communities you pass by. You will be camping in the foothills of the Himalayas – some of the most exciting mountain ranges in the world. Everyone will get the opportunity to lead the group for the day developing your teamwork and leadership skills.( 探險(xiǎn): 體驗(yàn)終極探險(xiǎn)迷航!19天后, 你和你的團(tuán)隊(duì)將每天徒步 12km, 每天晚上露營, 了解你經(jīng)過的社區(qū)。你將在喜馬拉雅山腳下露營--世界上一些最激動(dòng)人心的山脈。每個(gè)人都將有機(jī)會帶領(lǐng)團(tuán)隊(duì)的一天, 發(fā)展你的團(tuán)隊(duì)精神和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力。)
Why Raleigh?
可以寫作時(shí)候借鑒加抄襲了: On expedition you’ll make friends from around the world and develop skills for life. Raleigh International is a sustainable development charity with over 30 years’ experience. You’ll be joining a community of over 40,000 people who have volunteered with us before so you can be sure you’ll be in safe hands.(在探險(xiǎn)中, 你將結(jié)交來自世界各地的朋友, 培養(yǎng)生活技能。Raleigh國際是一個(gè)具有30年經(jīng)驗(yàn)的可持續(xù)發(fā)展慈善機(jī)構(gòu)。你將加入一個(gè)4萬多人的社區(qū), 他們曾經(jīng)自愿和我們在一起, 這樣你就可以確保你的安全。)
“To know that we’ve made such a lasting difference to thousands of lives and generations to come will stay with me in my heart forever.” Freya – volunteered in Nepal("要知道, 我們已經(jīng)對成千上萬的生命和世代產(chǎn)生了如此持久的影響, 將永遠(yuǎn)與我在我的心中。志愿者freya說)
