托福写作:“the”该怎么用?
一 基本规律 (Basic rules)
1. Indefinite article (不定冠词)
我们用 “a , an ” 当我们不知道他是诸多人或事中的哪一个:
* is one of many. ( 是许多个中的一个)
He is an artist.(=there are many artists)
* is not unique. (不是唯一的)
I have just bought a book
* has not been mentioned before. (之前没有提到过)
There was a new student in class today.
2. Definite article (定冠词)
我们用 “ the ” 当我们知道他是诸多人或事中的哪一个:
* is unique (or unique in that context) (是唯一的)
The Australian Prime Minister. (=there is only one)
I looked inside, the engine was in a terrible state. (=there is only one engine, in this case)
* has been mentioned before. (之前提到过)
The man gave me a ticket. I looked at it, and saw that the ticket was a single.
* is defined by the phrase which follows it. (要被接下来的短语详细说明)
What is the new student's name?
3. No articles (无冠词)
我们不用冠词当我们普遍地提及事物的时候:
* using plural or uncountable nouns (在使用复数或不可数名词时)
Do you like sport?
* with the names of people or places, but there are many exceptions (人名和地名的时候不用冠词,但是地名有许多例外,下文一一介绍)
He is Professor Jones
4. Fixed phrases (固定短语)
有许多固定搭配需要用或者不用冠词,我们应该来单独学习,他们包括:
a few at home at work at the beginning atthe end go to bed
go to the cinemas, shops, station in the world once a week
sixty kilometres an hour the next the other the other day
the same
二 经常发生问题的区域 (Areas that often cause problems)
1. Jobs (工作)
如果有许多人做这个工作我们用 a 或 an.:
My husband is an architect. (=there are many architects)
但是如果一个工作特别对应一个人,我们就要用“the”了:
He is having talks with the French foreign minister(外交部长). (=there is only one)
2. Superlative (最高级)
我们使用“the”在形容词最高级前面:
She is the best person for the job.
3. Last and next
有一些形容词如 “last” 和 “next ”同时可以用也可以不用定冠词“the”但是句意会发生变化
I saw James last night. (=the one before this one)
It is the last night of our holiday. (=the fanal one)
I will see you next week.(=the one after this one)
4. Institutions: school, prison, university, church, home, hospital
和以上机构连用时我们不用定冠词“the”
My sister had to stay in hospital overnight.
然而,如果我们指的是这个建筑,我们就要用“the”
Our flat is opposite the hospital.
三 在表示时间和地点的短语中用或不用定冠词 (phrases of time and place)
1. Phrases of time
有些时间短语必须用“the”
Dates: the 25th of December / December the 25th
Parts of the day: in the afternoon, in the evening, in the morning ( but at night, at lunchtime)
Decades or Centuries: the 1980s, the 21st century
另外一些时间短语不用“the”
Years or Seasons: in , in summer
Months or Days: in August, on Friday, see you tomorrow
2 Place names
国家,大洲,岛屿,洲,省,城市前不加“the”(countries, continents, islands, states, provinces, town, cities)
in Asia, to Sydney from Texas in Turkey in Britain in America
例外情况
the Netherlands, the UK, the USA, the Arab World (可以发现国家名作为缩写的话要加“the”)
如果我们指的是一个地区(region)那么我们不需要用“the”
North-west Inida, Northern Europe
但是如果我们指的是对于一个地区的方位或方向就要加上“the”
in the east of the country, in the south of Italy, on the coast
大多数路,街,公园,桥梁,商店,酒店不用加“the”(raods, streets, parks, bridges, shops, restaurants)
Central Park, Oxford Street, Tower Bridge

特别的山和湖不加“the”
Lake Victoria, Mount Everest
山脉,河流,海洋,运河要加“the”
the Atlantic, the Yangtze River, the Himalayas, the Panama Canal
以上就是“the”在托福写作中的用法,大家可以在托福作文中多运用一些不同形式的句型,增加托福写作的层次感和新鲜感。
详解影响托福写作得高分的4个问题
从每年的托福写作考试情况来看,有不少考生都会遇到一些问题,这些问题贯穿在整个考试过程中。下面来看看小编整理的关于这些问题的介绍吧!
用词简单没亮点
新托福写作部分要求考生的语言使用恰当,不过即便考生的词汇使用时有一些小错误,他的文章也可以得到高分。但是如果同时还有一些语法错误的话,那么就很难让阅卷者准确理解句子的意图,这个时候文章的得分就会比较低。
另外,经分析发现,若考生只是使用一些简单句和简单的词汇,那么他是无法来阐述较为复杂的问题的,而当文章的句子和单词过于简单时,得分往往不会超过3分。
字数太少
对于独立写作的字数要求,官方的说法是:“An effective response is typically about 300 words long. If you write fewer than 300 words,you may still receive a top score,but experience has shown that shorter responses typically do not demonstrate the development of ideas needed to earn a score of 5.”.
可见,若想得到高分,考生最好能将文章写到300字以上,虽然有些文章字数不足但仍可得到满分,但是毕竟这种情况比较罕见,要充分对于考题展开论述,从而有利地支持文章观点,充足的字数是必须的。
作文传统没新意
文章的发展指的是运用例子,细节和理由来支持你在文章中所阐述的观点。阅卷者不希望看到考生为了凑字数而过多使用一些 “模式化”的单词或句子来发展文章,也不愿意看到考生过多抄袭或者沿用题目中的句子。他们会考察考生在用自己的话论述观点上的能力。
逻辑结构不明确
如果考生的文章是组织有序的,那么阅卷者从头看到尾也不会感到糊涂。文章结构的有序,并不是单纯地使用了诸如 first,second之类的连词就可以达成。文章中所有的句子必须服务于你的论述主题,一旦脱离了主题,那么再精辟的连词也是徒劳的。
托福写作避免生搬硬套,要把学到的句式和词组灵活运用到自己的写作当中去!这样,写作的分数自然也就提高啦!
增加过渡段:
A1 好。。。
A1 好,而且 A2 好。(这个“而且”,可以用科技发展啊技术进步啊之类的扩充)
A2 好。。。
14 条万能理由:
与事物有关:效率、方便、经济、耐久、安全、空间。
与人有关:健康、乐趣、成就、性格、情感、交流、经验、他人。
理由的安排也要有逻辑顺序—首段要雕琢,要表现!
1、排比反问:
Have you ever been to the West Lake in Hangzhou City? Have you ever walked along the Long Corridor in the Summer Palace? Have you ever seen the red fallen leaves on the Fragrance Hill?
If you have never had such experiences, you would never know how much fun outdoor activities could bring you.
2、背景知识式:
With the development of science and technology, more and more companies (including international companies and small companies) are founded, but there are not enough people to
take these positions. So a large number of working opportunities are provided to people who are still teenager students.
In some countries, some people think if teenagers do a job while they are still studying in school, it may have a bad impact on their grade. Others consider that teenagers
should have jobs while they are still students. As far as Iam concerned, I agree with the latter.
Because teenagers can learn amount of useful experience through working and they think through the job they will acquire some knowledge of how to get a good relationship with others.
3、定义式:
Technology refers to skills, knowledge, and techniques thathuman beings use in their daily life and work. As everybodymay find, technology develops day by day. How does the development of technology affect our life?
Many people hold the opinion that it is due to the development of technology that human beings have access to the comfortable modern life. On the other hand, a number of people are always aware ofall kinds of destructive influence of the technological development on us. As far as I am concerned, the development of technology does far more good than harm to people’s happiness.
正文部分每段安排:
1~3 行 主题句
4~8 行 细节论述
1~2 行 主题再现
主题句的要求:
1、要有概括性:
Eg -. When I work in daytime, other people are also working, so I can work more efficiently.
Eg +. Outside environment during daytime helps to promote efficiency in many ways.
解说: TS 一定要概括, 不要写成反例那样那么细节, 不然后面的话不好展开了。
2、避免绝对化:
Eg -. Elder people are efficient.
Eg +. Compared with many un-experienced young people, most experienced elders can work more efficiently.
解说:正例表述得体,尺度很好,有限定成分“most”,有对比说法“compared with”等。
3、避免语法和用词错误。
细节论述部分:
1、个人事例推广到一般:(图书馆有钱该买书还是买电脑)
During the last semester, all the twenty students of my class are required to resort to the British Encyclopedia to complete our final paper.
However, there was only one set in the whole library because it takes a whole shelf to hold and is too expensive to purchase more than one set. Ever since the university bought in the CD version of the British Encyclopedia, we are free to refer to the same article at the same time through different terminals.
This case is not rare, in reality, frequently many readers of the library need to refer to the same source at the sametime.
2、反例:(still 图书馆)
Paper books in the library circulate very fast. Frequently we find a good book lose its good shape within 3 months. Those seldom-borrowed books are not safe at all, in danger ofnatural erosion and worm bites.
解说:不好说电脑好存放的时候,就说书不好存放。
举反例要适可而止,不能指望全篇用反例来支撑自己的观点。
3、具体数据和引用权威:
想得4分以上必须注意, 因为4分要求说服力,5分要求appropriateexamples。
Eg.My hometown used to have one million acres of forests. The town people are shortsighted as to sell trees for $10 per piece. Trees are sold at a rate of approximately 100 thousand pieces per year, according to the data from the government.
Professor Selephant from Peking University, one of the bestuniversities in Environmental Engineering, once said, the tress in my hometown will disappear within 10 years at thisspeed of lumbering.
倒数第二段让步:
Eg.Admittedly, books do have certain advantages over computers. They are easier to carry with, lower in unit price, and more energy efficient given that computers are driven by electrical power.
However, computers have more valuable merits as an efficient, durable, manageable means for libraries of the new century. I therefore reinforce my standpoint to choose computers as my final choice for the investment.
解说:让步之后一定记得重申 anyway 我还是坚持 X 观点。
在每次练习写托福作文前,看几篇和你想写的命题相关的范文,记一些例子和句式;另外,注意看范文里论点和论据是如何展开,以及写作思维,对比一下你自己的写作思维。 在写的时候一定要卡时间,超过30分钟就不要写了,反过来再看范文,对比一下。如果你没有写完,没有关系,总结经验最重要,分析一下为什么没有写完,是因为单词拼写耽误时间了,还是想不出来论点如何展开。多数人犯的是第二个问题,这个一是需要时间练习,二可以根据偶提供的办法解决。
大家在审完题后(花2分钟想一下2-3个论点),把想到的论点在电脑上列个提纲。先把第一段,最后一段写完,及第二、三或四段的首句写完——首句就是论点,每段的body都是围绕这几个点来。如此,既防止写不完的情况发生,又不会写偏题——因为你在写首句的时候已经检查了和主题一致与否。把整个框架打好(在此申明,这个不是托福模板,模板太死板,虽然有它的好处,但是模板不能fit每个不同的命题),再来想论据去支持论点。 这一点就看个人的功底了。如果字数够了,没有犯过大的语法错误,无论文章内容丰富与否,至少不会低于20分了。 托福作文字数最好控制在320-450之间,太多或低于300都不好。太多的话,除非你写得很到位,字字珠玑,否则有流水账之嫌。建议大家多精练句式和逻辑思维。句式不一定要很复杂,如很多从句之类的,这里指的是地道的英语表达方法; 文章中最好简单句兼插从句。精练句式有助于咱们提高写作水平和质量,不在乎写得多少,只求写得精及准确与否;逻辑思维可帮助我们很快的展开论据支持论点,有条有理,读者读着心情也舒畅。
搞定新托福写作五步骤分享
第一、巩固语法。
建议看赖世雄的“托福高分语法”;此书不长,可在10天年看完一遍。此书的功效是可让菜鸟在10天内领会必要的托福写作文法及阅读中遇到的文法问题,如长句子的分析。看完此书,你会认为自己的英语水平提高了一个阶梯,不仅仅是作文方面。
第二、加强单词的熟悉程度。
建议用王玉梅的单词表(excel版),其实,每个不同的单词表版本都不完美,比如大家背单词的进程不一样,对同一个单词的理解能力及熟悉程度不一致。建议自我完善下载下来的单词表。另外,有人认为,背完单词也就完了,该复习其他部分了,可以完全不用再背了。其实,偶不同意这个观点,根据人的遗忘规律,当时记得再牢的词语,过一段时间都会忘掉一些。复习IBT不是一天、两天或几个星期能搞得定的(除非牛人),大家需要从一开始背单词一直支持到考试前一天,就算到后来一天看一点,也比不看强。
关于此表的用法:偶按照杨鹏记忆法的规定把王玉梅的词汇表分为21个lists,就在表里最前面一列。大家可以根据杨鹏记忆法结合玉梅词汇表操练。偶背了不到半个月已经背完,而且不易忘,非常有效!
前两点是基础。如果具备这两点的朋友,你们可以进入第二阶段的练习——熟悉范文。
第三、建议看高分范文。
有些人在看范文的时候太过于注重好词好句,反而忽略了ETS对学生最主要、最重要的要求就是文章结构及论点和论据好坏与否。ETS的考官不在乎你的观点是反对呢还是赞成,或prefer哪一个观点,他们所在乎的是你的文章结构清楚与否,包括观点是否明确,对比是否宣明;在乎你的论点是否支持你的观点,论据是否有力。
偶在此最主要的就是谈论文章结构及如何写好论点,展开论据。
第四、要观点明确 逻辑性强
基于T 友们具有了丰富的词汇和语法的基础,写句子已经不是什么难事。但是,如何写好观点明确、逻辑性强及对比宣明的好文章,一是和个人知识及想象力的多少有关,例如,It has recently been announced that a new movie theater may be built in your neighborhood. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer. 你家附近将要建一个电影院。你同意还是反对,详细阐述支持你看法的原因。
有些基础知识欠缺或者想象力不丰富的朋友,只会想到——1,反对,为啥?太吵,人多;2,另一些人支持这个观点,为啥支持?方便,近。他们在几分钟能想到也就这么多了。如何提高想象能力呢?在短时间内我们也无法提高很多,但是我们可以用一些常规的思维去思考——连锁想象法。例如,如果反对此观点,电影院能让我们想到什么不好的地方?从修建开始想——破坏绿化,如果它建在咱们附近原来是草坪的地方呢?在施工的时候有很多噪音、污染环境等等问题;从建好后想——人来人往,太嘈杂,刚开张时,说不定有什么庆祝活动,人群拥挤,影响舍区的安静,还有很多很多大家都可以用这种连锁法想到。如果赞成的,方便,只需走路就可以看电影了;从走路又想到,节约路费及想到如果在上下班高峰期看电影的话,就可以避开人多的公共交通工具了。。。另外,有了电影院,除了可以看电影帮助消费者,另外可以有打工的机会,如卖票,小吃部工作——帮助学生补贴boards。这些观点不外乎就是关于环境、社会关系、交通、学生、经济等等。

托福独立写作范文:每周长时间工作3天胜过短时间5天
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: working three days a week with longer hours is better than working five days a week with shorter hours.
People nowadays are becoming more restless in daily work and life, in which the rhythm is in quite an amazing shift towards being faster. From my point of view, I would rather schedule fewer days of work rather than evenly distributed hours into more days.
Working three days in a week means that people will have four days off in a week, which leads to a more possibly flexible schedule. This will create a clear distinction between work and life. Not only do people have enough time to do house work, hang out with friends and read a book, but also they could plan a short trip somewhere nearby, which seems always to be in a rush in a five-day work circle. I work as an English course designer now. My supervisor permits that I can come to the office three days a week with the flexibility of arranging working days on my own. When I don’t come in, I usually visit exhibitions and art galleries, take my girl on a date, attend a reading session, and sometimes just simply camp in a mountain nearby Beijing. Apparently I am not having too much desire for an exhausting Friday drink or an anxiety when Sunday night comes. Now I have more accomplishments besides work such as improving my Spanish and Bulgarian and dwelling in a library enjoying researching academics.
Obviously, there is one implication to work fewer days: work longer hours each day. I am not hesitating to take this option still. I always need time to get into my role. When all these ideas come to me, I also don’t want to simply stop and leave the work to the next day. This is somewhat called “marginal time”, which means the time spent simply from switching from one mental status to another, for instance from that of working to that of lying down, takes certain amount of minutes to adjust to. Longer hours’ working usually can reduce this unecessary waste of time. I can go pretty far in my projects in a day if counting the long duration from early morning to late night without stopping. Some of my friends even see “work hard and play harder” as their motto. This is so true. Seeing one day’s workflow going fast is truly a pleasure, which always motivates the next progress to happen. I remember one time when my team and I went through an entire day’s brainstorm and received a huge burst of work until mid-night.
And there is one thing adding up to this. I take work as a path to an enjoyment of life. I would totally enjoy a short yet a little painfully intense work, enjoying at the moment of working, and enjoying afterwards as well.
(459 words, Ge Xu)
选择合适的语法结构可以使句子意思的表达更为精确和简练。虽然语法的多样性也很重要,但选择最恰当的语法结构仍然是更为重要的考虑因素。以下,推荐几种考生们在考虑选择何种语法结构时可以参考的原则:
1.一个句子的主语和谓语动词应该能够反映句子中的最重要的意思。例如:
The situation that resulted in my grandfather’s not being able to study engineering was that his father needed help on the farm.
从意思上来分析,上面这句话需要表达的重要的概念是“grandfather’s not being able to study”,而在表达这个概念时,原句用的主语是situation,谓语动词是was,不能强调需要表达的重点概念,可以改为下面这句话:
My grandfather couldn’t study engineering because his father needed help on the farm.
2.避免频繁使用“there be”结构,例如下面的句子:
There were 25 cows on the farm that my grandfather had to milk every day.It was hard work for my grandfather.
可以改为:My grandfather worked hard. He had to milk 25 cows on the farm every day.
更简洁的句式为:
My grandfather worked hard milking 25 cows daily.
3.把从句改为短语或单词。例如:
Dairy cows were raised on the farm, which was located 100 kilometers from the nearest university and was in an area that was remote.
简介的表达方式为:
The dairy farm was located in a remote area, 100 kilometers to the nearest university.
4.仅在需要强调宾语而不是主语的时候,才使用被动语态。例如:
In the fall, not only did the cows have to be milked, but also the hay was mowed and stacked by my grandfather’s family.
本句不够简洁的原因是本句的重心应该是“忙碌的家庭-my grandfather’s
family”,而使用了被动语态后,仿佛重心变成了cows和hay。下面的表达方式是主动语态,相对来说更简洁一些:
In the fall, my grandfather’s family not only milked the cow but also mowed and stacked the hay.
5.用更为精确的一个动词来代替动词短语,例如下面这句话:
My grandfather didn’t have time to stand around doing nothing with his school friends.
Stand around doing nothing其实可以用一个动词来表达,即loiter:My grandfather didn’t have time to loiter with his school friends.
6.有时两句话的信息经过组合完全可以用一句话来简练地表达,例如:
Profits from the farm were not large. Sometimes they were too small to meet the expenses of running a farm. They were not sufficient to pay for a university degree.
两句话的信息可以合并为下面这句更为简洁的句子:
Profits from the farm were sometimes too small to meet operational expenses,let alone pay for a university degree.
托福考试作文独立写作范文:学习有限的课程对身心发展有用吗
In a word, studying only limited courses will be supportive for students’ physical and mental growth as well as their future careers.
2月27日: High school students are required to study many different subjects at same time or they should study only three or four subject at a time, which do you agree?
范文参考一:
As for me, studying only three or four subjects appears to be a better choice and the listed reasons and examples will support what I believe.
To begin with, current young students have been under enormous pressure, doing great harm to their growth, and there is no need to impose too much pressure on them. To be more specific, to strengthen students’ future competitiveness in the society, most schools have expected to forge students’ various capacities since they were young by arranging a huge number of curriculums. What an ordinary high school student has to experience in his one-day school life can demonstrate how depressed and exhausted present high school students are. Getting up as early as 6AM has become common in recent two decades. Afterwards, a whole-day study will include various compulsory and optional courses like Mathematics that leads to intellectual stimulation or History that demands students to attempt to memorize historic events and relative effects as many as possible. When class is over, it is still far away from ending one-day study since lots of assignments such as the short essays or scientific researches need to be finished. Evidently, students suffer from the huge pressure from study, leading many of them to wear glasses at a young age and to be drained physically and mentally everyday. Thus, students are not supposed to be ordered to study many courses at a time.
To be followed, the inadequacy of enough leisure time will contribute students to have no chances to engage in what they interested in. High school students are still involved in an age during which they should exploit their own interests to decide which area they will choose when going to college in their near future. However, like I mentioned in the previous statement, to meet the requirements set by school; students have no option but to immerse themselves in a number of assignments and the freedom to pursue their own hobbies has been deprived. It is known to all that interest plays a leading role in assisting people to choose their future career and a recent released statistic in a survey conducted by Beijing Human Resource General Bureau indicates that approximately 67 percent of college undergraduates switch their professions from their major-related areas to what they are truly interested in their third year after graduation. In addition, many of the respondents claim that they are not satisfied with the current educational system, requiring students to study a wide range of curriculums, because it entirely downplays the importance of cultivating students’ hobbies and they believe that the earlier students can discover their interest, the more setbacks they can avoid when choosing future majors in the university and upcoming professors after graduation. A friend I know named Andy refused to become a mechanical engineer since he was bored to stay in the office building and finally chose to become a teacher in a educational institute since he can apply his passion and extrovert personality into the profession. Accordingly, student should be given more opportunities to develop their own hobbies to explore what they love.
写作参考二:
Do you agree or disagree high-school students are required to study many different subjects at same time or they should study only three or four subjects at a time.
Teenagers are in the prime time of their life. What they learn in this period is a huge factor in determining their whole life. To make better use of this valuable time, some educators advocate that students are supposed to study as many subjects as possible at a time. However, I don’t think it is a smart move. Instead, studying three or four subjects at a time would serve them better.
To begin with, only three or four subjects at a time ensure that students have enough time and energy to make further research in each of these fields. It allows them to bite deeply into these subjects, thus gaining the whole picture of a certain field in their mind rather than just a smattering of knowledge. It is not hard to imagine what they would suffer when they have too many things in their plate. They would find themselves wrestling with complex chemical formulas, intertwined history events and distinctions between invertebrates and amphibians on the same very day. In consequence, they would end up with spreading themselves too thin and cannot gain a deeper understanding in any of the fields.
Besides, when students are allowed to choose three or four subjects at a time based on their own interest, they would performer better without under a huge amount of mental pressure. As an old saying goes, interest is the best teacher. When what they learn really appeal to them, they are more keen on their school work. On the contrary, if they are forced to learn too many subjects at a time, chances are that they not only cannot be guaranteed with good grade but also get upset and frustrated. Things may get even worse when they find some of these subjects are extremely bothersome and annoying. I have experienced the suffering. When I was in high school, history was the most difficult one for me. Those intertwined history events, exact dates of those events, and various complex names of important figures involved in them just drove me crazy. When the finals were just around the corner, I always burnt mid-night oil to hit history books, feeling so tense and stressed up. So only when students spend their time on just three or four subjects that truly attractive to them can they get good grade on each subject and enjoy their high-school time happily.
What cannot be denied is that there are such versatile brainiacs who can handle with so many subjects at the same time without any difficulty. However, only a small fraction of students are in this line. For most of the students in high school, three or four subjects at a time are more acceptable and effective for their study.
To sum up, I am on the board with the idea that students will benefit more from taking just three or four subjects at a time.
