篇1:托福综合写作和独立写作异同
托福综合写作和独立写作异同
新托福作文,其实是分为两个部分的,一个部分是综合作文,一个部分是独立作文。
这两个部分所面临的问题是不同的。
综合作文顾名思义,重点在于考察一个人阅读和听力能力相结合,这里考察的重点不再侧重于写作能力本身,写作只是一个载体,是展示你阅读和听力能力的一个载体。因此,写作固然重要,但是更重要的是把阅读和听力两个基础性的问题解决,只有这两个问题解决之后,我们才能谈作文本身的问题。因此,如果一个人的综合作文分数不高,第一个想的问题,应该是自己的阅读和听力的分数,而不是作文分数本身。
而独立作文侧重于考察写作本身的能力,这里已经排除掉了阅读和听力的干扰。当然,你也可以说,作文题目也考查了阅读的能力,可是,您老人家如果题目都读不懂的话,阅读基本上也希望不大了。但是在这里也必须澄清一个误区,也许是因为GRE作文的影响,当然也有可能是因为中国传统教育体系的影响,总是想追求最好的回答方式。因此很多人都是在讨论,到底是3段支持好一点,还是2段支持1段中立,抑或是2段支持1段反对更好一点。其实这样的问题,在GRE考试之中讨论一下还有意义,但是在托福考试中进行讨论,是完全没有意义的。
因为托福考试,看的是你驾驭语言的能力,换句话说,也就是看你是否能清晰准确的把话说清楚,而根本不注重你思维的严密程度。因此这样的问题,其实就像是一个直立的鸡蛋,到底是为什么而倒下,是因为桌子动,是因为风吹动,还是因为重心本身就不稳,这重要么?这根本就不重要,反正鸡蛋还是倒了。
但是在这里面,还必须点出,我们对于托福作文认识的一个很大的误区,托福作文并不是说,单词拼写正确,语法没有错误,就是好作文了。优秀的,或者说满分的托福作文不仅要能做到用词准确,而且还必须做到,用词多样,用词准确,句式多样,词能传神之功效。
举点例子。
第一、用词多样,一句很短的话。so they need a good way to have a good rest,里面就出现了2个good,这就是用词不够多样,这里如果能把第一个good改为best,这里就不会出现用词重复的问题了。
第二、用词准确, and connect with other partners,这里最后一个单词用partners固然无可厚非,但是如果用co-这个词根加上worker造出了coworker,一同工作的人,显然更为贴切。
第三、句式多样,中国学生一直是很习惯的就写出3种句子,一是简单句,二是宾语从句,三是定语从句。但是英语之中常出现的非谓语动词和短暂停顿,确实常常缺失,这也就是为什么要特地对中国学生强调句式多样。
第四、词能传神。No, you taught me to navigate people’s minds but after what happened。navigate一词用的极为到位,如果考友们自己写的话,很有可能也就用个affect或者manipulate之流的词汇,但是远不及navigate“驾驭,驾驶”来得形象。navigate更巧调出“被人操纵”之意,此词画面感极强!
托福独立写作提速效技巧
1、先列提纲再写正文
大家可能会觉得奇怪,本来写作时间就不太够用了,还要花心思去列个提纲,时间岂不是更紧张?事实并非如此。有句话说得好,工欲善其事必先利其器。对于一篇作文来说,拥有明确的提纲才是关键所在。特别是独立写作这样讲究论述逻辑和文章结构的作文题材,没有提纲很容易导致跑题情况的发生,很多同学时间不够用其实就是因为没有明确的大纲写到哪里算哪里,所以才会在不知不觉间浪费掉太多时间。考虑到独立写作其实对文章结构的要求是比较简单的,大家只需要简单写出自己的观点,然后列出2-3个分论点就可以算是列好提纲了。这并不需要花费考生很多时间,却能让大家对之后的文章结构和展开有更为明确的目标和思路,对于提升考生写作速度是大有好处的,也能够更好地保证文章质量,既能提速又能提分。
2、限时训练提前适应
光学会列提纲还不够,考生还需要通过实际动笔来训练自己的写作速度。很多光靠看范文背素材无法发现的问题,考生在实际写作的过程中才会体现出来,比如拼写错误语法错误等等,这些问题一般练习时是很难看出来的,但在限时压力之下往往立即就会显现出来。而为了适应考场上的时间压力,大家在备考中提前开始限时训练也是大有好处的。考生如果能尽早适应30分钟写完文章的时限要求,到了考试中自然就有充足把握应对独立写作,也不会再被时间问题所困扰了。
3、先写头尾后写中间
这个技巧是针对独立写作文体要求比较有效的一种技巧。写作时间不够用的考生最容易遇到的就是结尾来不及写或是匆匆写完的情况。这种会导致文章结构不完整的情况都会造成较多扣分。为了避免在时间限制下出现写不完结尾的情况,小编建议大家在写作中可以尝试先写完开头结尾,然后再填充中间段的方式。这样做既能保证文章的完整性,对于中间段的论述也比较好把握。考生如果觉得时间较多,那么中间段可以写得丰富一些,如果时间紧张,那么中间段只要把分论点写完,具体论述适当缩水一些问题也不会太大。总而言之,这种写作方式可以让大家把写作的主动权控制在自己手里,而不会因为时间限制而手忙脚乱了。
想拿托福写作满分有多难?
综合写作评分标准
1.内容的完整性和准确性。简单地说就是文章是否有将讲座中的关键信息点完整、准确地提取出来(通常情况下有三点),并和阅读材料中的相关内容有效地一一对应。
2.文章的组织机构,词汇和语法的正确性和准确性。
独立写作评分标准
(1)有效回应题目,阐明文章主题。
(2).逻辑条理清楚,论证充分展开。
(3)内容连贯一致,衔接自然流畅。
(4)遣词造句地道,语言驾驭娴熟。
这就是托福写作(综合写作和独立写作)两部分的评分标准,根据多年考试培训和教学经验总结,我认为考生在托福写作考试中常见的问题有以下几点:
一.逻辑匮乏
连贯地把一个观点言之成理地表达出来,是完成任何写作任务的第一要务,在英文写作中尤其要注意两点,第一不要被辞藻的华美和句式的复杂绕进去了,英文应该以几个关键词为骨架,再以此为基础进行增删修饰,所以不要文过饰非让自己的表达片段化;第二尤其要注意平行论点之间是否有重叠、交叉的地方,同时要注意事实,结果和基准之间是否处在一条直线上,是否在逻辑上具有一致性。
二.论据意识不强
托福写作评分标准当中对于“事实和论据”有着明确的要求,“口水话”是任何应试型写作的大忌。论据的积累事实上也应该成为重要一环,多积累可以信手拈来的材料;而事实论据也是大有文章可做的,最可靠的是数字,对数字的敏感度的培养应该从小开始,不能成为短板;其次是概括性的事实;最后要强调的是具体事例,此处必须明确的一点是具体事例写作绝对不等同把个人经历做成流水账,而是要加以概括。
三.遣词造句不地道
托福的阅卷人不知道看过多少篇以 “with the development of society”(随着社会的发展)开头的作文,这种毫无个人创建的模板化也只能保证一个更加平庸的分数。其次玩弄大词不用小词,不区分书面语和口语,都是由于平时不阅读,不积累所造成的。
四.冗余现象严重
如果我们试着把一段中文翻译成英文,再把这段译文和典范的英文进行对比,就可以发现大多数人的翻译都要比典范英文长一截。这恰恰是写作刚刚入门,又无法达到精通程度的学生最容易遇到的问题。英文写作的原则应该是“less is more”,写得精炼远远好于长篇大论,如若英文写作要从中低端迈入高端,这背后需要调动介词,比如“otherwise”这种介词,80%的学生都不会用,或者害怕用;此外把从句以合成词的方式的呈现出来,用上data-driven这样的结构,此处不一一赘述。
如何善用模仿提高托福写作?
平时我们要学会收集一些好的例句,去学习模仿它,不是照抄,而是模仿。如果照着原句抄下来是没有用的,考试的时候会被扣分。托福写作分数的提高善用模仿。
首先,很多所谓的权威书籍并非权威,里面的八分范文并非八分。曾拿过国内一本“赫赫有名”的书给国外的老师看。他们看后纷纷摇头,说不知所云。这种文章尚且可以蒙骗语言经验尚浅的学生,却不可以蒙骗考官。学生即使背得滚瓜烂熟,也不过是背一篇不及格的文章而已。
其次,即使范文够上了级别,学生是不是完全背下来了,背得恰当与否又是不得而知。有的学生背了片言只语,然后融合自己写的一堆病句错句,分数不理想就开始怀疑考官是否打击模仿范文的考生。又或者,考生死记硬背,看到题目类似就誉写上去,而没有考虑到题目修改所带来的变化(本书会具体解释),试问一篇文不对题的文章如何得六分?
再者,重申一句,语言都是模仿而来,包括考官本人的英文知识也是日积月累地模仿而来。对一件事情的描述其实大同小异,因此如果描述得当,文字上有雷同并不奇怪。考官不会期待着你对一件事物有前无古人,后无来者的叙述;反之,他只会接受外国人所遵循的一种普通的,常见的叙述方法。换言之,如果你的描写接近英文的一般模式,你就会得高分。再简单一点说,你抄得越象,越容易得高分。永远记住一句话:所有的托福考试都是将合格的学生
考出来,而不是将不合格的考生考出去。
【实用经验】托福独立写作文章结构布局高分思路讲解
托福独立写作总分总结构很LOW吗?
说到托福写作的结构,曾有考生问过ETS官方,说中国语文的作文是总分总的结构,托福还是这么写会不会太低端了啊?官方给出的回答是,总分总的篇章安排不叫低端(low),而叫经典(classic)。我们都说一个写作题目没有标准答案的范文,但是有一个东西可以说是形成了不成文的规定的,那就是一篇好的作文一定是有头有尾、中间细分几段论证的,这一点可以从很多官方给出的范文或是学生的高分文章中得到证实。
托福独立写作到底应该写4段还是5段?
另外,很多考生还存在疑问的一点在于到底一篇文章是写四段还是五段,在小编看来,两种结构各有利弊所在。一般写4段式的同学都是因为主体段只能想出两条理由,实在是想不出第三条理由,只能以1+2+1的结构完成文章。大家都知道一般来说要想拿到不错的分数,一篇新托福议论文需要写到400字左右,那么,如果主体段只写两段,势必需要考生在这两个段落的论证细节上写出更多的内容,否则字数撑不到那么多,而这一点对于很多考生来说恰恰也是很有难度的。相反地,如果写成5段式,貌似就需要考生能想出3条理由进行论证,但事实是,很多考生根本想不到3点理由,能想出2点已经是绞尽脑汁了。在这种情况下,怎么做才是最简易、最轻松的应对办法呢?
小编比较建议大家写5段式的文章,但主体段并不是上文所说的3个理由段,而是采用2+1的模式,即两个理由段,再加一个让步段。关于理由段的写法,将在下文详细分析,在此先重点解释一下让步段到底是什么意思。“让步”字面意思是退一步,那么放到我们作文里,意思就是承认一下反方的观点。西方的文章不太喜欢作者全篇一味强调自己观点的正确性,而是需要作者能适当回应并评价一下反方的观点,这样的文章看起来会更加有说服力。当然,广大考生需要注意的是,小编这里提到的“承认反方观点”指的是“弱弱地承认”,承认过后必须再削弱回去或者说再驳斥回去,只有这样才能更强调出本文观点的准确性,否则读者看起来会有confusion, 也就是为什么一会儿支持自己的观点,一会儿又支持反方观点
托福独立写作合理结构分配建议
总结一下,笔者推荐的新托福议论文结构为1+3(2+1)+1的模式。第一段总起全文,导入话题并给出本人观点,主体段前两段为理由段,想出两条理由论证正方观点,主体段第三段为让步段,先承认反方观点的合理之处,再削弱此观点,最后一段为总结段,重申本人观点,再做适当的展望。
以上就是关于托福独立写作文章结构的一些介绍和思路分享,希望大家能够在了解本文内容的基础上调整好自己的作文结构,顺利拿到高分好成绩。
篇2:托福独立和综合写作有什么区别
托福独立和综合写作有什么区别?不同题型要求及备考安排讲解
托福写作两道试题写作要求整理
托福写作包括两道试题,分别是综合写作试题部分和独立写作试题部分,两个部分需在大约50分钟的时间内完成。
综合写作试题部分
考生需要首先阅读一篇学术文章,阅读的时间是3分钟左右。然后文章隐去,这时考生需要听一段大约为1分半钟的演讲。但是考生在写作文时可以看到在放听力材料时隐去的阅读材料。考生在阅读和听录音的过程中可以做笔记来帮助答题。考生有20分钟的时间来总结听力材料中的要点,并解释这些要点与阅读材料中的要点有何关系。作文内容是根据考试所提出的问题而定的,不能由考生自由发挥。,需要考生根据自己的知识和经验陈述、解释并支持对待某一问题的某个看法。
独立写作试题部分
考生需30分钟的时间完成这一部分写作,要求考生根据自己的知识和经验陈述、解释并支持对某一问题的看法。考生可以自由选择材料、形式和观点等,不受题目的严格限制。本试题属于主观性题目。

托福写作模板:大学对体育活动和图书馆的投资
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Universities should give the same amount of money to their students' sports activities as they give to their university libraries. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
托福写作模板范文参考:
I disagree strongly with the idea that the same amount of money should go to university sports activities as to university libraries. Although playing sports is a wonderful way to learn about teamwork, strategy and reaching your goals, it should not be the principal focus of a university education.
Students need the most up-to-date library facilities available to get the best education. Many of those facilities are very expensive to buy and maintain. These include computerized programs and access to Internet research databases that students can use to find information all around the world. If a university is only offering its students resources of a decade ago, it's depriving those students of a tremendous amount of information.
Even the book and magazine budget of universities has gone up tremendously in the last decade. More is being published on every subject, and every university wants to have this information available to its students.
It also costs money for universities to keep their libraries open. Students need to have access to all the libraries research tools as much of the time as possible. Because students are young and can stay up all night studying, many universities are starting to leave their libraries open all night during exam periods. This costs money, because the staff has to be paid extra to be there. It also costs money to run the building (electricity, heat) during that time.
Students at universities are only going to benefit from their education if they can get to all the tools they need to learn. Sports are secondary to the resources that students need from university libraries. For this reason, libraries should always be better funded than sports activities.
托福写作语料库积累:关于教育
托福写作语料库
一个国家教育如何提高:
课程设置要突出实用性,这样可以增加学生毕业后的就业机会。
重点词汇、短语:practical,get X.X.X ready for
I would say that the courses offered in universities should be more practical, specifically, they should get students ready for future jobs and increase students' future job opportunities.
决策者应该想办法降低高等教育的成本,现在高等教育太贵了比如生活费、书费和学费太高。
重点词汇、词组:make it accessible to ,cost of living, textbooks and skyrocketing tuitions
I would say the decision makers should figure out a way to reduce the cost tertiary education and make it accessible to everyone. Currently, our universities and colleges are super expensive, the cost of living, textbooks and skyrocketing tuitions, all these combined makes it hard for lots of brilliant kids to receive higher education.
让大学生更加自由的选择专业, 现在高考成绩一般的学生没有机会学习比较火的专业如经济金融,政府应该让学生更加自由的选择专业而不应该用高考分数限定学生的选择。
重点词汇、词组:not be motivated to 没有动力做某事, be into 非常喜欢,be given to chance to do s/th, be based on 基于
Personally, I think government should make it easier for student to choose their majors. Currently, it is very hard, if not impossible for lots of average students to choose popular majors like economics, finance and accounting, cuz you have to get a really high score in college entrance exam. As known to all, one might not be motivated to do something unless he or she is really into that, students should be given to chance to choose majors they are interested in and it shouldn't be based on exam scores, thus they will better employ their creativity and imagination and be more likely to be successful in college.
教育的功能、目标the purpose of education:
传授知识、培养实用性技术impart knowledge and cultivate practical skills, provides students with the tools and skills
句子:
The utmost purpose of education is to impart knowledge and cultivate practical skills so that the students can be successful in their future career, like to become physicians, pilots, professors, architects, even engineers.
Tertiary education(高等教育) provides students with the tools and skills that are essential for them to be successful in their future career.
培养道德情操、求实精神:develop morality and values to live a good life and build up character to seek the truth
句子:
大学教育的另外一个功能是培养学生的道德情操、正确的价值观、树立人格、求真等良好品质,这些品质对一个人的未来的职业是至关重要的。
Another important function of university is to develop morality and cultivate values to live a decent life and help the students to build up character, and to seek the truth, and I think these qualities are very important to have in order to be a mature person.
帮助学生吸收知识、协助成长: the exploration of knowledge, to help students grow, to make men complete, explore our utmost ability, constant simulation, makes us understand things better
句子:
重点词汇、词组:noble cause光荣的使命,lead X.X.X on the path of, well-rounded全面的, constant simulation 不断的刺激
高等教育是个光荣使命,在知识的道路上引导学生、帮助学生成为更加健全的人。人生就是一个不断学习的过程,大学让我们追求卓越、更好的洞察世事。
The noble cause of higher education is to lead students on the path of the exploration of knowledge, and help them to grow in to a more well rounded and compete person. You know, human beings need constant simulation to grow or it will die, university helps us to explore our utmost ability and makes us understand things better.
人人都应该给机会接受高等教育
句子:
重点词组:people from all walks of life, prestigious, be accessible/available to anyone, fairness, social status, underprivileged 弱势群体,climb up social ladder
大学教育应该人人平等,孔子说有教无类;如果只有富人有接受高等教育的机会,那么社会的不公平现象将会变得更加严重,弱势群体通往社会上层的通道就会被阻碍。
I would say that higher education should be available to people from all walks of life, as prestigious Chinese philosopher Confucius said: education should be received by anyone no matter what their social status are. Suppose higher education is available only to the rich, then only the rich will be likely to succeed and then the underprivileged will never get a chance to climb up the social ladder, that is not fair.
托福写作语料库积累:关于饮食
托福写作语料库
健康饮食的重要性 :
鼓励健康饮食习惯:encourage healthy eating habits ,
保持体形:keep fit,
集中注意力:concentrate/focus on; 容易分散注意力:get easily distracted
营养:nutrient, 特定的维生素:certain vitamins;
油腻的垃圾食品不含孩子成长所需的必要维生素,这样孩子无法在学习中集中注意力,因此学校应该鼓励健康饮食。
Greasy junk food lacks certain vitamins for the healthy development of the children, and students without sufficient healthy food might suffer from lack of concentration on their study and they get easily distracted, thus school should encourage healthy eating habit.
垃圾食品:junk food, French fries, hamburgers;
高热量:with high carbs, 油腻:greasy;
儿童肥胖:child obesity;
摄入过多的高热量垃圾食品会导致儿童肥胖。
It is really important for the school to encourage healthy eating habits, and junk food like French fries and hamburgers alike should be banned in schools. Too much junk food with high carbs leads to childhood obesity.
健康食品 :
海鲜类: salmon, tuna, shrimp
水果类:fruits such as berries, apples, cherries, pineapple, oranges, frozen grapes, watermelon, cantaloupe,
蔬菜类:Vegetables - broccoli, carrots, cherry tomatoes, potatoes and sweet potatoes
高蛋白质低热量:high in protein low carbs
非常好的结合:a wonderful combination
学校应该提供蔬菜和水果等低热量高维生素的食品。
School should offer students a variety of healthy food and snack ranging from vegetables to different kinds of fruit. Like broccoli, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and apples, cherries, pineapple are also good choices. They are low in carbs, and vitamin rich.
通过适当的教育学生会做出更好的饮食决策:
Hopefully, with proper education, students can make appropriate eating choices.
既然学生可以摄取合理的营养,他们会更加集中注意力也会保持好的体形。
Since students are getting the proper nutrients, they will concentrate better on their study and also they will be more fit.

因为一般都用一边倒式写法,所以给的模板也是一边倒的,不过只要稍加改动就能用来写持中立的文章
When it comes to the issue about (题目), people's opinion differs from person to person. Some hold the view that(一个观点), while others argues that(另一个观点). As far as I'm concerned, I support the prior/latter point for the reasons that(概括自己的论点)
It is true that (反方论点)has its own merits. For one thing, (反方论据1). For another, (反方论据2).However, is this a wise choice? After taking more factors into consideration, I suggest that(正方论点).
First,(正方论据1)
Second, (正方论据2)
In short, from what has been discussed above, we can safely draw the conclusion that (把第一段的论点重复一遍)
托福综合写作高分注意事项提点 完整复述才是提分写法
托福综合写作不需要观点只要求复述
这一点相信很多人都已经知道了,那就是托福综合写作,不需要考生给出自己的观点,这篇文章的写作要求就是客观。说得简单粗暴一些,考生在这篇写作中扮演的角色并非叙述者或者辩论者,而只是一个带有信息记录筛选汇总整理功能的传声筒。很多同学明知不需要观点,但在写作过程中还是忍不住冒出一些我认为我觉得的句子,这其实就是犯了综合写作的忌讳。所以,大家在进行托福综合写作的答题时,一定要注意保持自己的客观立场,主要能够把阅读和听力中给出的信息准确地通过行文转述表达出来,那么你的写作目的就已经达到了,这点希望大家一定要牢记在心。
托福综合写作并不需要事无巨细
其次,托福综合写作中的阅读和听力部分,给出的信息是过量的。也就是说,实际综合写作中,并不要求你事无巨细把所有内容都写进去。按照官方指南OG中的要求,最高评分5分的要求中,考生只需要做到successfully selects the important information from the lecutre就已经足够了,大家注意其中的important,这才是关键词。所以考生千万不要抱有把阅读和听力中所有细节都记下来写进文章的想法来应对托福综合写作,学会判断哪些是需要记录并写出来的关键重要信息即可。
文章形式随意性较强无明确要求
这个问题也有很多人会问,托福综合写作的文章到底需要写成什么形式比较好?有的人觉得是类似独立写作那样分几段的形式,也有考生认为写个一长段就可以了。这里需要注意的是,官方虽然给出了well-organized的要求,但这只是从文章是否方便理解的角度提出的要求。实际上OG上对这一点也有提到,原话是You can write either one long paragraph or a series of short paragraphs listing the points of opposition between the rading passage and the lecture. 所以考生无论是写成多个段落还是直接一段完事,只要内容能够清晰有条理,哪种形式其实都是可以接受的。
不影响准确表达内容的少量语言类错误不扣分
最后要说的也是很多人比较关心的一个问题,那就是文章里出现语言类错误的扣分标准。这一点小编其实一直都抱有这样的观点,那就是只要各类语法词汇句式的错误数量较少,而且不出现在关键性的位置上,那么托福考官其实都是会睁一只眼闭一只眼放过的。但如果这些语言类错误频繁出现在文章里,还老是在一些重要的地方干扰考官对文章的阅读理解,那么扣分就是妥妥的了。OG中也很好地佐证了这个观点,那就是occasional language errors that are present do not result in anaccurate or imprecise presentation of content connections是不会被扣分的。
综上所述,托福综合写作虽然题型和要求都比较“奇葩”,但想要收获高分,考生只需要抓住上面这些重点,其实也并不困难,对于本身阅读及听力技能较强的考生来说甚至可能比独立写作还要简单一些。最后小编大家都能写好托福综合写作拿到高分评价。
托福独立写作如何提升写文章速度?备考打基础方法介绍
托福独立写作时间不足2大基础原因分析
对于备考时间充足的考生来说,扎实的基本功是冲刺托福写作高分的不二法门。独立写作时间不够用的原因可以归结为以下两类:一是打字速度慢,不适应基于计算机输入的考试形式;二是题目不熟悉,审题、列提纲和安排文章结构等环节浪费了大量时间,导致有效输入正文的时间不够。
如何在备考中打好基础提升写作速度?
针对这两类问题,建议考生在日常练习中不要盲目练习、只顾低头写文章,要有的放矢,适当增加一些基础训练。
打字速度慢的考生可以下载一些练习打字的软件,通过寓教于乐的练习提升输入速度、提高输入的正确率。
题目不熟的考生可以仔细研究近三年托福考试写作部分的真题机经,每道题目都列出提纲,矫正逻辑偏差和理解误差。由于托福考试写作部分的题目题材重复度高,熟悉机经真题的考生在考试过程中可以在审题、列提纲、安排文章结构、和全文通览检查等环节中节省大量时间,把更多的时间留给正文输入。
打基础一定要严格控制时间
俗话说:事预则立。在此提醒各位考生,在日常练习中一定要严控时间,务必在30分钟内完成练习,如果没有在规定时间内完成,一定要认真分析原因。切勿放松对时间的要求,用60分钟或是更长的时间完成一篇文章,只会给自己制造一些假象,看似一切良好,但却不利于在考场上发挥水平。

本话题高分范文赏析
Some people like doing work by hand. Others prefer to use machines. I definitely fall into the latter category. I use a machine for almost all of the work I do. The reasons why I prefer to use machines are that most hand work is tedious, machines are faster and more efficient, and I am more proficient with most machines. Two things that I spend a copious amount of time doing are writing and sewing. Both of these endeavors border on pain if I do not have a computer or a sewing machine, respectively. What was once a fun task becomes very monotonous, and no longer enjoyable. Using a machine can turn ordinary tasks into exciting ones. Using machines to do work is also much faster and more efficient than using your hands to do it. For example, if I wrote this essay by hand, rather than using the computer, it would probably take me at least five times as long. Hand sewing a shirt would take ten times longer than using a machine to do the same work. Not only are machines faster and more efficient, I am much more proficient using machines than I am doing the same work by hand. I find that when I am sewing by hand, all of my seams are very uneven and crooked. However, when I sew on a machine, my seams are perfect. The machine helps to keep my hand in line, therefore I can turn out a much better product. It is the same for writing essays. My handwriting is messy at times. If I had written a paper, I cannot correct it as easily as if I had written it on the computer. My writing blurs together, and sometimes I cannot even read what I have written down. Machines are definitely a better way for me to work efficiently, proficiently, and enjoyably.

本话题高分范文赏析
Going to university is an exciting time in a young person's life. Part of the experience is living in the campus dormitory, and it is the first time for person away from his/her parents, in many cases. If one has to share a room with another student, I believe that it is better that the university picks the prospective roommate. When a young person first goes to university, he/she often moves straight to the school from his/her bedroom at his/her parents' house. This usually means that the person has no idea of the qualities necessary to be a good roommate. Perhaps the young person would choose to live with a good friend. While this situation could be a very happy one, it could also be disastrous. Getting along with a friend as a roommate, if not properly handled, could quickly ruin the relationship. If the school picks one's roommate, this is less likely to happen. In many cases, young people travel out of the city they grew up in to go to university. For many of these students, picking a potential roommate would be difficult. They know very few people in the new city, let alone at the university. This can lead to very stressful situations. If one is trying to settle into a new environment, but also must find a roommate to live with, he/she might find the whole experience overwhelming. Finally, I think having the school choose roommates rather than the individuals is a good idea because living with a person you do not know can be a rewarding experience. A stranger can quickly turn into one's best friend, as memories are forged while living together in a confined space.
篇4:托福综合写作怎么写
综合写作(Integrated Writing)长期以来都是托福考试的难点之一,全面考察考生快速阅读、听取关键信息和原文复述的能力。
很多考生在备考过程中片面注重独立写作,忽视综合写作,甚脸谱酆闲醋魇切∽魑模懒⑿醋魇谴笞魑模庵炙悸肥羌舜砦蟆⒎浅NO盏摹M懈P醋髯钪沼勺酆虾投懒⒍呷∑骄郑谎灾咄戎匾豢善稀
然而还有很多考生是有心无力,由于阅读和听力实力较弱导致综合写作失分严重,想要提升却不得其法。从传统备考思路看提升阅读和听力固然没错,但如何在有限的时间内加强针对性、高效提分才是关键。
要达到快速提升的效果,首先要关注综合写作本身的设计理念。有别于托福考试的阅读和听力部分,综合写作中的阅读和听力以学术类话题为主,且二者围绕同一主题展开论证,构成反对或支持的关系。因此阅读和听力本身难度就大大降低。那么考生能否在快速阅读的基础上,对听力做出正确的预测呢?
横向观察ETS设计的各类考试不能发现,虽然考察重点不同,但一些基本思路不尽相同。在GRE考试的写作部分同样要求考生写两篇文章:Argument与Issue。在Argument部分,考生先阅读一篇文章,然后写出文中存在的逻辑错误。这种考察形式与托福综合写作部分有很多相似之处,只不过在托福综合写作中不需要考生主动描述阅读中的逻辑漏洞,而是复述听力中的演讲者如何驳斥阅读中的观点。
因此参加过GRE考试的考生触类旁通,通过利用TPO等备考材料反复练习,不断矫正思路,可以培养从阅读文章出发、预测听力内容的能力。从而在合理判断的基础上有的放矢的去听,提高通过听取关键词完整复述的能力。
以下结合GRE写作Argument部分的解题思路,对托福综合写作进行梳理:
一、条件假设
阅读部分针对某一结论列举出一些条件或提出一些假设,与逻辑学中的命题概念非常类似,既若P则Q的形式,条件或假设是为了证明某个结论为真命题或假命题。考生可从逻辑学角度出发,通过考虑条件与结论之间的充分性和必要性,预测听力中的反驳内容:一是从条件本身着手。思考条件是否成立、本身是否完备、是否有其它条件对结论产生更重要的影响?二是从结论着手。思考结论是否成立、在相同条件下是否可能得出其它结论?三是从条件与结论的关系着手。思考条件与结论之间的逻辑关系是否为必要充分、是否构成因果关系等?
例如TPO26的阅读部分针对“斑马贝(zebra mussel)的传播无法阻止”展开如下论证:
Moreover, once zebra mussels are carried to a new habitat, they can dominate it. They are a hardy species that does well under a variety of conditions, and they have a high rate of reproduction. Most important, however, zebra mussels often have no predators in their new habitats, and species without natural predators are likely to dominate their habitats.
上文论点为“斑马贝可以很快占领新寄居地”。论据为三个给定的假设条件:一是斑马贝存活能力强;二是斑马贝繁殖能力强;三是斑马贝在新寄居地没有捕食者。这就构成多个条件指向一个结论的映射,因此要分别考虑条件、结论和二者关系。
据此考生可对听力的反驳形式做出预测:一是条件有问题。斑马贝存活能力强、繁殖能力强、没有遭遇捕食者是否成立?二是结论有问题。斑马贝在上述三个条件下也无法占领新寄居地,考虑是否存在其它更重要的证据质疑结论?三是二者之间的关系。上述三个条件是否与斑马贝占领新寄居地有关联?
把握以上三点,考生可以有的放矢的完成听力部分。尤其对于听力偏弱的考生,只需听到关键词就可以更好地完成整个反驳逻辑的重述。听力原文如下:
Second, it’s true that zebra mussels often don’t have predators in their new habitats, but that’s only in the beginning. What’s been happening in Europe is that local aquatic birds sooner or later notice there’s a new food source around and change their habits to exploit it. They switch from whatever they were eating before to eating zebra mussels. And birds can eat a lot of mussels. So zebra mussels aren’t so likely to dominate their new habitats after all.
综上所述,听力部分的论点为段落最后一句:最终斑马贝不可能占领新寄居地。论据围绕斑马贝在新寄居地存在捕食者展开,既质疑阅读中提出的条件不成立。听力中指出:虽然起初斑马贝不会遭遇捕食者,但一段时间后当地的水鸟就会开始以其为食物,所以听力从条件本身的变化着手反驳了阅读。
在研究分析TPO之后,我们发现以下几类词汇出现可以用类似思路预测:
1、表示导致或促使:lead to/cause/decide/stimulate/give rise to等
2、表示由来或源头:derive from/originate from/stem from等
3、表示原因或结果:because/so/therefore/result in/result from等
二、比较关系
阅读中出现两个主要描述对象,并采用比较两者之间的相同或不同之处的方法展开论证,考生可从以下两个方面预测听力中的反驳内容:一是比较双方是否对等,包括比较双方是否可以在某种条件下形成比较关系、比较的标准是否相同(比较要在公平对等的条件下才能进行)、比较是否叙述完整;二是整体和部分发生比较时,由整体特征推导部分特征,或是由部分特征推导整体都是错误的,既不能以偏概全,也不能忽略个体差异。例如TPO6的阅读部分针对“在线互动百科全书”和“传统百科全书”是否会出错展开论证如下:
First, contributors to a communal online encyclopedia often lack academic credentials, thereby making their contributions partially informed at best and downright inaccurate in many cases. Traditional encyclopedias are written by trained experts who adhere to standards of academic rigor that non-specialists can not really achieve.
上文对“在线互动百科全书”和“传统百科全书”进行了比较:在线互动百科全书在学术方面可信度低,很多情况下信息不准确;而传统百科全书由训练有素的专业人士编写,在学术方面标准严格。考生可以从比较关系的第一个层面进行分析预测:比较双方虽然对等,但对比较条件的叙述并不完整。传统百科全书由专业人士编写就一定不存在错误的信息吗?据此我们可以在听力中进行验证:
First, errors. It’s hardly in a fair criticism that encyclopedias online have errors. Traditional encyclopedias have never been close to perfectly accurate. If you are looking for a really comprehensive reference work without any mistakes, you are not going to find it, on or off line. The real point is that it’s easy for errors in factual material to be corrected in an online encyclopedia. But with the printed and bound encyclopedia, the errors remain for decades.
由此可见,听力部分针对阅读中叙述不完整的比较信息提出了批驳,进而提出在线互动百科全书比起传统百科全书更容易纠错和改正。因此考生只要关注比较双方发生矛盾的核心所在,就可以更准确的复述关键信息。
在研究分析TPO之后,我们发现以下几类词汇出现可以用类似思路预测:
1、直接表示比较:unlike/in contrast to/not...but.../be against等
2、时间表示比较:used to be...now...等
3、比较级表比较:more...than.../rather...than.../superior to等
三、调查研究
阅读中援引某某专家、某某机构的权威调查研究,并据此展开论证,考生可从以下三个方面预测听力中可能出现的反驳内容:一是调查研究本身是否客观公正、设计是否科学合理?某某专家、某某机构发布的调查结果很多情况下不足为信,或是调查过程中没有采取随机抽样,而是选择性抽取对某个结论有利的样本。二是调查研究历时多久?调查时长是经常被质疑的一个因素,很多调查研究太过仓促,不能反映出调查对象的重要发展变化。三是调查研究的抽样问题。样本量是否足够大?应答人群是否足够多?虽然从统计方法和概率论的角度出发,这些问题不是影响调查结果的关键因素,但现实生活中还是经常被用来质疑调查研究的可靠性。
例如TPO28的阅读部分援引(美国)国家地理学会委员会的调查结论,以证明Peary确实抵达了北极:
First, the National Geographic Society put together a committee that was instructed to conduct a thorough investigation of Peary’s records and equipment. At the end of the investigation, the committee concluded that Peary’s accounts were consistent and persuasive and declared that he had indeed reached the North Pole.
听力部分针对调查提出质疑,认为第一该委员会没有秉持客观公正的原则,第二该调查本身历时太短、调查不充分,因此结论不足为信:
First, it is true that the National Geographic Society committee declared that Peary had indeed reached the North Pole, but the committee was not completely objective. In fact, the committee was composed of Peary’s close friends who had contributed large sums of money to fund Peary’s trip. Moreover, the investigation lasted only two days. And according to Peary himself, the committee did not examine his records carefully. So the committee’s conclusions seem biased and therefore are not trustworthy.
在研究分析TPO之后,我们发现以下几类词汇出现可以用类似思路预测:
1、表调查研究:survey/investigation/sample/study等
2、表数据引用:cite/quote/respondent等
综上所述,在备考托福综合写作的过程中,通过提升快速阅读、逻辑分析和合理预测的能力,考生可以更轻松、更直接的提升成绩。在大量练习的基础上,考生可以不断矫正思路、提高预测的准确率,将分析预测的时间缩短,最终形成正确、敏锐的“直觉”。最后请各位考生务必量力而行,不要做过分推理,不要让预测误导听力。
篇5:托福综合写作怎么写
The reading and listening materials have a conflict of opinions about genetic modification. The writer believes that it is beneficial to the society, which is contradicted by the following lecture.
Firstly, the writer claims that genetically modified trees are more likely to survive/ have a better chance of survival since it is hardier than unmodified ones. However, the speaker casts doubt on this opinion by saying that natural trees tend to be genetically diverse, so there will always be some resistant kinds that get to survive when (they are) exposed to an environmental challenge. Genetically modified trees, on the other hand, are uniform in genes, which means they would all die if (they are) faced with a challenge that they are not designed for.
Secondly, the author argues that genetically modified trees are more profitable to farmers, while the lecture views this issue from an opposite angle. According her, the seeds of modified trees cost a lot and by law, farmers have to pay the company every time they grow. So there won’t be much financial gain for the farmers.
bring more economic benefits is more economically competitive generate more profits is more profitable
Thirdly, the passage states that genetically modified trees make it no longer necessary to overexploit wild trees. By contrast, in accordance with the professor, this claim does not hold water. It is because modified trees tend to grow more aggressively and would outcompete native trees for natural resources like sunlight, water and soil nutrition. As a result, modified trees would actually wipe out the native trees planted around them.
篇6:托福综合写作怎么写
A response at this level successfully selects the important information from the lecture and coherently and accurately presents this information in relation to the relevant information presented in the reading. The response is well organized and occasional language errors that are present do not result in inaccurate or imprecise presentation of content or connections。
大家会发现,这里面的关键词是information和organization,也就是信息量和逻辑,至于语言,并没有提出太多的要求,用词和造句“秋裤”一些没有关系。因此,只要听力和阅读的笔记记得较全,并且能够把听力中的观点和细节表达清楚就可以。
需要注意的是,这部分对词数和时间都是有要求的,官方的规定是150-225词,小编建议180-260词,时限是20分钟。关于summary的结构,一定是四段??introduction+3对detail,不需要conclusion。总体来说,这部分得高分的一定是把听力写得很清楚的同学,事实上听力才是考察的重点,阅读是用来帮助对听力进行理解的,同学们在写听力内容的时候切不可有“这个也要写啊,没必要吧”的想法。另外,阅读的内容在写summary的时候决不可照抄。
了解了托福综合写作的评分细则,我们可以列出同学们需要锻炼的能力列表:
1、阅读能力
2、听力和速记能力
3、一定的改写能力
首先,大家要对自己的阅读和听力能力有一个认识,首选的测试题就是ETS发布的TPO(toefl practice online),大家不妨在复习初期拿来“裸测”一下。对自己的能力有大概认识之后,同学们一定要注意复习方法。很多同学认为自己阅读差就是因为不认识单词,所以拼命背单词;有些同学觉得自己听力差,就花大量时间练习听写。这些方法本身都对能力提高很有好处,但是大家一定要记住,实战才是锻炼能力的最好方式,所以还是希望大家多做全套的综合写作习题,TPO有二十多套,就是很不错的选择。
但是TPO有一个问题,没有很规范的范文作为参考,这是为什么很多老师开始在精讲精练班上讲解TPO,以帮助同学们复习。
新托福综合写作复习方法分成4个步骤:
1、首先“裸做”题目,即三分钟阅读,听一遍lecture,然后20分钟写summary。写得不好没关系,接下来需要找出阅读和听力中的硬伤,所谓硬伤就是不认识的单词、不理解的词组、没看懂的句型和也认识也理解也能看懂但是听不出来的单词、词组和句型,统统摘抄到笔记本上;
2、将阅读材料中的“硬伤”仔细记忆,再细细地读passage,完全读懂为止,如果没有读懂可以参看书后的翻译,接着练习记笔记,这里主要是练习笔头速度和缩写表达能力,尽量积累出定型的缩写表达以在考场上争取时间;
3、将听力中的“硬伤”仔细记忆,再精听lecture,如果听不清可参看听力原文,然后练习记笔记,可多遍练习,放一遍记一遍,尽量详细而不复杂(信息量要大但是单词不要全拼符号不要复杂);
4、再次仿真练习,读passage,听lecture,再写summary,然后对书后面的sample answer,一定做到不要遗漏听力中的信息。
篇7:托福综合写作怎么写
托福综合写作怎么写
第一步:阅读
在考试前,考生会看到关于托福综合写作的英文题目说明,大意是要你用3分钟扫读一篇文章然后听一段听力材料,最后用20分钟写一篇150 to 225 words的作文。接下来屏幕上会出现一篇文章,左下角会出现一个3分钟的倒计时时间显示。考试正式开始。阅读文章时,应注意:
1)进行“扫描式”阅读,把文章主题和每段中心论点快速一扫而过,并随时准备速记重点,切忌“精读”,否则时间不够。
2)把握好每段重点,这可以帮助你从容地推测后面听力材料的要点。这种方式尤其适用于听力不够好的考生。
第二步:速记笔记
记录文章重点时,应注意:
1)重点一般分布在每段的首尾,前后呼应,逻辑性强:段首陈述每段主题,段尾得出结论。
2)笔记重点可按照“假说→假说根据1→假说根据2→假说根据3”的模式记录,这也是答题模板,建议大家熟记。在新托福考试听力部分结束后的10分钟休息时间内,考生最好在草稿纸上面先写好这个模板。
3)笔记内容要短而精,切忌抄句子。考生开始写作时,文章会再次出现在题目和答题区旁边。
第三步:写出文章
充分理解了阅读和听力的要点反驳之后,接下来的任务是将这些内容以流畅自然的英文句型表达出来。段落通常分为四段。开头段介绍反驳类型,可参考以下两种形式:
The lecturer and reading passage suggest two competing theories, ______vs.______, to explain why _______.(AB型开头)
The lecture apparently refutes the points illustrated in the reading material. According to the professor, __________. On the contrary, the reading contends an opposite stand.(A型反驳开头)
完成开头内容之后,主体段则需要根据听力与阅读的反驳关系来进行写作。但万变不离其宗,在个别单词上不管什么文章都会出现一些重复,如下:
反驳动词:Differ to, disagree with, cast doubt on, conflict with, challenge, refute, confute, contradict, controvert, combat, disprove;
反驳连接词:On the contrary/ while/ whereas/ oppose to this/ however/ in contrast
听力中的细节支持要点的动词:Support/ illustrate/ strengthen/ bolsters/ (perfectly) reinforces
具体用法可以结合定语从句和非谓语动词:
According to the speaker, _______; she argues that __________. Besides, the fact that __________ further reinforces the point in the lecture, which contradicts the reading point that __________. (refuting the point made in the reading that ________)
托福考试作文独立写作范文:搬去新地方会失去老朋友吗
Agree or disagree:it is often not a good city to move to a new city or a new country because you will lose touch with old friends.
真题重现
It is not a good thing to move to a new cityor country because we will lose old friends.
该题目从题型分类上来讲,不属于常见题型(绝对型、对比型、建议型),其最显著的特征是题目本身带有一个因果关系:因为会失去老朋友,所以搬到一个新地方不是一件好的事情。严格来讲,如果从同意的角度来写,思路可能会受到题目的限制,即只能想到从失去老朋友这个角度来论证搬去新地方不好。所以这种题目从不同意的角度更容易写出逻辑严谨,内容丰富的文章。下面的范文采取不同意的立场,主体段第一段写,搬去新地方不见得会失去老朋友,因为通讯工具日益发达;第二个主体段写,就算老朋友有些疏远,也不能因此断定搬去新地方不好,反而可以开始一段新生活、了解新的文化、结交新的朋友。
范文参考一:
As the technology of public transportation keeps advancing, more citizens can choose to dwell in the cities that are beneficial to their own development. Inevitably, there occurs a controversy whether moving to a new city or country will lead to the rupture of relationship among friends. From my perspective, I think the statement is not sensible.
Firstly, moving to a new country or city will not result in the loss of old friends. To be more specific, the maintenance of friendship doesn’t lie in how far they live with each other and the development of technology has diversified the ways of interacting with friends. The invention of cellphones break the shackles caused by distance and overseas students can choose to communicate with their family members and friends through a variety of Apps like WeChat that makes video calls possible. Except for that, by looking at the pictures popping up all over the social media like Facebook, people can easily capture what is happening to their friends. For instance, my friend Selina took selfie in the Sydney Opera House a week ago and I would learn that she was having fun in the Australia with her picture posted on the Instagram. Therefore, a wide range of advanced electronic gadgets can be used to sustain friendship.
Moreover, instead of losing old friends, city migrants can even enlarge their social circles and achieve more success. Restricted in a city for a long period, people may be trapped in a situation that would block their development and they can gain refreshing experience while immigrating to a new city. My friend of Mine named Michael served as a Market Analyst in a renewed company in Beijing. However, he couldn’t see any progress in recent years and then an opportunity comes out. Because of his five-year working experience, a foreign trade cooperation tried to recruit him as the Market Analyst because the firm was planning to start a new program. Then he grasped the chance and earn a challenging life that he likes even though he was required to work in Shanghai. Our relationship have not experienced any interruption and his strong ability of being adapted to the new environment helps him to make lots of new friends. Accordingly, moving to a new city can, occasionally, help to break the deadlock in our professions.
Admittedly, it can be sensible that friends can be estranged owing to the long distance with each other. Specifically speaking, the chances to meet with each other will be limited a lot. However, as I just put, for one thing, people can talk with each other through various social network software. For another thing, the distance between cities is not a problem anymore since there have been many public transportation tools like the high-speed trains and airplanes that will lead us to anyplace we try to go in a very short period.
In a word, moving to a new city or a new country is good choice under some circumstance. Besides, the highly developed technology can help to strengthen the relations with our friends and the possibilities of living a different life and achieving success can both explain why I stand by the statement that it is a good thing to move to a new city.
写作参考二:
In this day and age, globalization allows people from every corner of the world to travel around and even settle down easily at almost any place they favor. Is it a good thing for people to move to a new town or new country? Opinions vary about this issue. Some people oppose it by arguing that moving away means the loss of old friends. From my view, it is not true. Instead, moving to a new place might lead one to a new world.
To begin with, moving to a new place does not necessarily weaken the bond between friends. This is mostly because modern means of communication allows people to keep close contact with friends even hundreds of miles away. Therefore, it is not uncommon that friends who have not seen each other for years might know about one another’s life quite well and still have much in common. For example, a person moving from Shanghai to New York can easily get in touch with his friends at home through the simultaneous communication tools such as MSN, Weichat and so on. It is incredible that these tools can make it possible to transmit not only voice and image but also real time video! Chatting with friends like this is of no difference from talking face to face. Besides, the popular online social network such as Facebook provides a platform for people to share important moments with friends by posting pictures and videos online anywhere and anytime. It is not exaggerated to say that technology has transcended space and time; distance, a traditional friendship killer, would beat a retreat in front of modern technology.
Secondly, even if old friends are not as close as before, it is not justified to say that moving to a new place is not advisable. People move to different places for a variety of reasons ranging from career development to a new start of life. In this case, old friendship should not become a hindrance to one’s development. On the other hand, old friends might be strong supporters of those who have decided to move. A new job opportunity in a larger market might exploit the greatest potentials of a sales person, whose talents would otherwise be stifled in a small retail store at home. A lady troubled by marriage issues might start a new family and open a new page of life in another country, where no one knows about her past. Thus, the possibility of losing old friends is not strongenough to judge whether moving to a new place is good or not.
In conclusion, even though moving to a new town or country might risk the loss of friends, moderntechnology has managed to minimize such risk. Besides, choosing where to live depends on a combination of factors, which is too complicated to be justified by the state of old friendship.
写作参考二:
With the progress of urbanization, an increasing number of people are leaving their hometown and moving to a new place, which has aroused deeply social concern. When asked about whether it is advisable to move to a new city or country, many people, if not the most, are strong believers of the claim that moving to a new place leads to the loss of old friends. However, in my eyes, the above claim doesn’t bear more analysis.
First of all, moving to a new place does not necessarily mean loss of old friends, in that the distance between people is no longer an obstacle for maintaining a friendship with the help of advanced communication devices and means of transportation. For one thing, such communication devices as telephones and the internet have made it possible to keep in touch with friends living far away from us. With the camera and microphone, our facial expressions and voice can be immediately transmitted to others, which is just like a face-to-face communication. For another, by using the well-developed transportation system , we are able to reach nearly anywhere in the world within a day. Take my own experience as an example. Last summer, Jack, one of my best friend, went to America for his master’s degree while I stayed in China for my study. However, this distance has never alienated our relationship, in that we often chatted online with Skype and even I took the international flight to visit him several times. While staying in America, we traveled together and had lots of fun, which would definitely enhance our friendship.
Furthermore, moving to a new city or country will provide us with a good opportunity to meet new friends and gain more opportunities to achieve success. On one hand, it is self-evident that a new environment enables us to make acquaintance with more people from different background, thereby enlarging our social circle. This is especially true of moving to a foreign country. While staying in a foreign country, we can not only experience the exotic culture and conventions but also establish friendship with native people there. On the other hand, moving to a new city matters a lot to job seekers, especially those coming from rural areas. My brother, a bachelor of art, is a good case in point. While staying in hometown, he had no choice but to work in a local factory with low salary and little possibility to get a promotion. However, when he moved to Beijing, the situation became totally different. He used what he learned in college to land a good job in a large advertisement company and excelled at his jobs. Now he has become the manager of designing department. Therefore, I believe that it is the moving that has changed his path of life .
To sum up, we can conclude that it is a good choice to move to a new place because we can make more new friends and obtain more opportunities instead of losing old friends. Therefore, a new environment is full of challenges and fun.
托福考试作文独立写作范文:现在父母养孩子更容易了吗
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is easier for parents to raise their children than 50 years ago.
写作参考:
Taking a panoramic picture of human evolution, family education has been playing a very important role, especially in modern days. When it comes to the question of whether or not raising kids is easier than before. I, personally, think that parenting has becoming more and more difficult based on the following reasons.
First off, with the advent of technological gadgets kids are now more susceptible to negative information on-line, making it tough for parents to monitor and guide their kids’ behavior and mindset. As we all know, with the appearance of smart phones, tablets and computer laptops, it is easier for people of all age groups, including adolescents and teenagers, to get access to all kinds of information. To be more specific, celebrities especially entertainers, like movies stars, sports giants and pop singers are such bad exemplars for kids since they are constantly involved in sex scandals, abusive use of drugs, random hookups, getting rehabilitation. Kids, who are in their formative years, are not immune to these negative influence. Therefore, it is becoming absolutely tough for parents to guide them and any negligence might lead to be catastrophic for the kid’s future development.
Additionally, parents are so overwhelmed with their career and they tend to be negligent about their kids. Kids, on the other hand, without guidance from their parents tend to have both psychological and physical problems. A recent study done by National Society of Developmental Psychology indicates that there is a positive correlation between the parents’ working time and the likelihood for kids to experience psychological and physical problems in their adolescence. Indeed, fathers and mothers are more stressful and inclined to work more hours than those who did a few decades ago, leaving them little time to hang out and caress their kids. To make matters worse, kids who might experience unparalleled peer pressure, bullying and other kinds of school cliché are not able to get appropriate and timely instruction and encouragement from their parents, increasing the risk of a series of developmental problems. For instance, they might get addicted to computer games, involve in early sex, and even have marijuana and drinking problems.
In conclusion, due to the susceptibility of kids when exposed to negative information on-line or else and the parents’ lack of time spent with their kids, it is getting more difficult to raise kids now and kids are inclined to have both psychological and physical problems in their formative years.
