下面是小编整理的托福写作使用不同词汇丰富文章内容(共含6篇),希望对大家有所帮助。同时,但愿您也能像本文投稿人“hi”一样,积极向本站投稿分享好文章。
a.使用同义词,比如以下的一些写作高频词汇的同义词,你一定要掌握,出现的尤为频繁。
important→essential, crucial, vital, significant
think→claim, believe, consider, deem, figure
out
nowadays→currently, at present, now, recently, in recent years, these days
b.改变词性,这是一种稍微难一些的方法,要求你的语法基础非常好,你才能灵活自如的运用。
n. → v.
Eg:When we look at a comparison
between A and B…
When we compare A and B…
Adj. → n.
There are a variety of solutions
to the problem.
There are various solutions to the problem.
c. 使用不同的承接词。承接词在文章当中的使用相当频繁,不仅是段落和段落的连接,还包括句子和句子的连接。背住一些常用的承接词比你的改写将会有极大的作用。
because of → due to, owing to, because, as, since, for
but → however, nevertheless
, nonetheless, whereas
so → therefore, hence, thus, consequently
d.形容词的逆向表达。在某些形容词上进行修改,会达到非比寻常的效果。
Eg: not as easy as…→more difficult than…
Not uncommon→common
The cheapest → the least expensive
托福独立写作“无话可说”怎么办
当我们开始准备托福独立写作的时候,很多考生会面临着一个问题,就是“无话可说”,特别是如果遇到一个自己不熟悉的题目,加之时间又紧,头脑就一片空白了,想到的也只是空泛的东西。在这种情况下,即使是中文也难以写好,更谈何用英语去表达呢。
对此办法就是要善于联想到一些具体的事实、具体的例证以及具体的现象。那么问题来了,具体的事实、具体的例证以及具体的现象到底有哪些呢?考生们的内心是崩溃的,人生过于平淡,阅历太少,书到用时方恨少,那么考生们该如何来准备这些具体的例子呢?
我们就拿《北极星》教材为例,来给大家分析一下如何从平常的阅读中积累托福写作素材~
写作真题
.8.3/.6.9 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? In twenty years’ time, people will lead a more leisurely life.
写作思路
Main point: Disagree
Sub point1:工作压力比现在更大。
Sub point2:环境问题更为严重。
Sub point3:任何事物更新换代的速度更快,意味着之后我们需要不断的学习,更加努力的去适应时代的发展,不被时代所淘汰,所以不是更休闲了,而是更累了。

第三版北极星4 Unit5 ----Longevity: Too Much of a Good Thing?
相关文章
A doubled lifespan
If scientists could create a pill that let you live twice as long while remaining free of infirmities, would you take it?
If one considers only the personal benefits that longer life would bring, the answer might seem like a no-brainer : People could spend more quality time with loved ones; watch future generations grow up; learn new languages; master new musical instruments; try different careers or travel the world.
……
The workplace
For most people, living longer will inevitably mean more time spent working. Careers will necessarily become longer, and the retirement age will have to be pushed back, not only so individuals can support themselves, but to avoid overtaxing a nation’s social security system.
…
But such changes would carry their own set of dangers, critics say. Competition for jobs would become fiercer as “mid-life re-trainees” beginning new careers vie with young workers for a limited number of entry-level positions. Especially worrisome is the problem of workplace mobility, Callahan said. “If you have people staying in their jobs for 100 years, that is going to make it really tough for young people to move in and get ahead,” Callahan explained.
讲解如何运用
同学们注意,以上内容给了我们非常好的素材(尤其是标绿部分)。当我们要证明sub point1. 工作压力比现在更大。你能想到用什么方法来有效的论证呢?Maybe你会说以后大家都是高学历者(well-educated),那么工作的竞争压力自然会更大。这个理由大部分同学都能想得到,那么怎么让你的素材比较novel? 赶紧学学以上段落吧!!!
20年后我们会变得更加长寿,这就意味着我们的退休年龄push back了,在这种年轻人不断进入职场,而年长者延迟退休的情况下,是不是竞争压力要更大了呢?同时篇章中许多expressions是我们都可以学习的,eg. mid-life re-trainees人到中年再就业者;a limited number of entry-level positions有限的招聘岗位;
写作真题
.10.11 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
It is a waste of money for government to fund space travel and exploration.
写作思路
Main point: Disagree
Sub point1: 目前地球存在的问题:环境污染越发严重,能源日益减少,人口激增等。所以我们有必要去探索宇宙,找到新的居住地,发现新能源。
Sub point2: Space exploration是非常practical的一项投资,不能说是a waste of money.
Sub point3: 诚然当今社会还有很多没有解决的问题需要政府来处理。这些问题可能比宇宙探索、旅行迫切多了,但是这并不意味着政府做这件事情就是浪费钱。因为如果政府不做就没有人有这个能力了。

MARS: OUR NEW HOME?
If you think you’d like to live on Mars, you may have that possibility by 2023. A Dutch company called Mars One will soon advertise for people interested in colonizing Mars. If you have all the necessary skills—and there are a lot—you could be one of the first colonists to Mars. Are you ready for the challenge?
…
As a future colonist in one of the six teams, you will go through years of training. If your team is the first team to travel to Mars, your main responsibility when you get there will be to build a place where humans can live. The atmosphere on Mars does not have enough oxygen for humans, and the land is not good enough to grow food. Colonists will have to create an artificial environment on Mars where there is air to breathe and land to farm. Scientists know Earth-like conditions can be simulated on Mars because something similar has already been done in Antarctica, where humans cannot survive outside the created environment.(对火星环境的具体描述&科学家们如何将其改造的适合人类居住。)
Humans may have another problem in space as well. It takes nearly a year to get to Mars, so travelers would be without the Earth’s gravity for a long time. In addition, Mars One astronauts will not return to Earth. Their mission is to start a colony that can support itself. So, the colonists will live the rest of their lives there. When a human lives in an environment without gravity or with low gravity for a long time, the systems in the body weaken. For example, muscles and bones lose strength. The heart also gets weaker. The blood in the body gets thicker, and it becomes more difficult for the heart to push blood through the body. Luckily, spinning the spaceship can create artificial gravity, and artificial gravity can ease these problems.(针对情况:我们的身体可能会遇到挑战,例如失重。)
It also will be difficult for Mars colonists to be isolated, far from home, living in small spaces, and seeing the same people over and over. It is important to come up with solutions to possible problems before anyone actually goes on a Mars mission. Colonists with depression could put the mission in danger. Fortunately, a few years ago, a joint Russian and European project called the Mars500 Mission took place. It studied people’s reactions to long-term space travel by following six astronauts in a Mars-like environment. The astronauts spent 520 days in this environment and only had contact with their bosses and their families. The six astronauts “returned” to the Earth in good physical condition—and still talking to each other. Scientists viewed the Mars500 Mission as a great success because they were able to see how the astronauts handle emotional and physical stresses. Surprisingly, the greatest emotional problem was boredom. The greatest physical problems were not getting enough sleep and gaining too much weight. (针对情况:在太空中我们的心理可能会遇到什么挑战,会不会出现心理疾病呢…)
讲解如何运用
关于这个话题,同学们脑海中应该会浮现中一幅幅宇宙探索的画面,例如近期的《火星救援》(The Martian)相信大家在这个话题上比较能达成共识,那就是政府花钱探索宇宙并非浪费钱的一种行为。
但是如何解释清楚呢?思路已经给大家了。现在我们回到[Sub point2: Space exploration是非常practical的一项投资,不能说是a waste of money.]
同学们想一下,当我们要证明宇宙探索的实效性、是有前景的,是不是应该展现给考官一个画面:在探索宇宙的过程中政府正在克服一个个unavoidable 困难,政府正在为寻找下一个家园而努力着,所以怎么能叫浪费钱呢?!
想清楚这点之后,不够哦!接下来怎么写呢?探索宇宙过程中具体会遇到什么难题呢?又是如何去解决的呢?英文要怎么表述啊?感觉好多专业术语不会讲,怎么办? !!!
同学们,那么请再仔细看看以上篇章中标绿的部分,是不是心中豁然开朗了呢,这篇文章简直就是为托福写作量身定做的!

写作真题
2015.10.25 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
In the past people were more friendly than they are today.
写作思路
Main point: Agree
Sub point1: 现在人生活节奏快,每天都非常忙碌,没什么时间关注他人,自然不如以前的人friendly。
Sub point2:当今社会诈骗行为很多,加上媒体的曝光,人们的防范心理很强,对陌生人极其警惕;而以前人们对陌生人是比较友善的。
Sub point3:当然不能否认当今社会中依然有很多friendly 的行为举措,很多人也极其warm-hearted.但是整体来说是以前的人比较friendly。其中有个比较重要的因素是现代人相对selfish,尤其在中国 One-Child Policy的影响下,独身子女相对会比较自私。

第四版北极星3 Unit2----The Consequences of Fraud
相关文章
(如下篇章内容围绕思路中的sub point2展开)
同学们,你们现在看到的就是北极星3 Unit2----The Consequences of Fraud的引入部分。其实在这个版块我们就可以学到很多单词: medical fraud(医疗诈骗), Internet fraud(网络欺诈),Identity theft(身份盗窃)……这些表达在你的作文中都可以用到哦~接下来具体看一个篇章~
TYPES OF FRAUD
(注意:本文通篇可用,就不标注重点内容)
Fraud has been increasing around the world because of computer technology. One example is the Nigerian Bank Fraud. People are contacted by email and asked to help transfer money from Nigeria or other African countries by allowing the money to be placed temporarily in their bank accounts. The real motive is not to transfer money but to obtain personal banking information.(本段结合具体实例来说明当今世界,计算机的广泛使用、网络的普及让Fraud影响更大。可作为sub point2的素材。)
Another type of computer fraud is known as “phishing,” or trying to obtain financial information by impersonating a bank employee. When this kind of fraud takes place, you receive email messages from someone pretending to represent your bank. You are then asked to provide your account number or other identifying information. This kind of deception seems so real that many people respond to it and give away their financial and personal information.(本段提到的网络欺诈,大家是否很熟悉呢?里边的表达phishing, impersonate, deception这些好用的词汇学到手了吗?)
The telephone is also used by con men and women who try to impress people with amazing prizes and offers. Sometimes they will call and ask for your banking information so that they can put prize money into your account. If you do not trust a person contacting you by phone, ask for his or her name, business phone number, and company address. You can then contact the company yourself to learn whether or not you have reason to be suspicious.(电话诈骗有碰到过吗?在我们的日常生活中是不是很常见?这是不是让你不再那么相信陌生人了呢?“骗子”这个词可以用con men and women来表达,了解吗?所以本段内容也可以作为素材。)
Modern communications technology has made it easier for people to trick you with fake deals and requests for information. When you go online, you find many websites offering products and services such as medical treatment and legal advice. How can you know if something is real? Fortunately, there are many organizations that can help you make sure that companies and individuals are treating you with honesty. If you believe that you are involved in a case of fraud, be sure to report it and ask for help.
讲解如何运用
同学们,相信大家看完全文会发现基本整个篇章拿过来全是supporting materials.其实对于sub point2欺诈行为这点,同学们根据个人的经历以及网络、报纸上的新闻都可以想到具体的例子,关键的是不知道怎么表达,所以上文对于填补大家表达上空缺是非常有效的。
写作真题
2015.11.15 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The more money a person has, the more he or she should give away to the charities
写作思路
Main point: Disagree
Sub point1: Money越多在一定程度上意味着能帮助越多的人,而当今社会还有很多人温饱问题都解决不了,所以应该出更多的钱给慈善机构。可以用Bill Gates的例子。
Sub point2:对自身也有好处,自己在帮助他人的过程中可以更好的认识自己,变得更加快乐,更加自信,更加知道生命的意义。
Sub point3:可以让这个世界更加美好。许多问题的出现都是因为贫富差距过大导致的,如果富了之后会拿更多的钱出来帮助他人,那么这个世界必将更加美好。

This wealthy talk show host has created a foundation “to support the education and empowerment of women, children and families”. Oprah Winfrey has also established a school for girls in South Africa.
讲解如何运用
本文的展开需要有大量的实例来说明做慈善是必要的,本单元中的Angelina Jolie, Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, Mother Teresa都是慈善的好例子。
结语
托福写作时“无话可说”乃是因为平时缺乏素材积累,输入太少呐。对于素材,同学们要注意以下几点:一是素材最好是英文表达,不然考试时,即使心中满满的例子写的时候却发现好多意思不知怎样用英文表达;二是素材在表达上不宜太难,否则难以理解和记忆。三是好的素材要熟悉到位,同学们面对好的素材不能只是记在本子上或是存在电脑中,一定要记在脑子里!如何确定已经记在脑子里了呢?找个一起考托福的小伙伴,把例子用英文讲一遍给他/她听;或者找张纸,写一遍。当你说完或者写完,对方听了或者看了惊叹你的表达或者例子好棒时,说明你是真的掌握了这个例子!不然没有记在脑子里,再好的素材也是枉然~
托福写作如何丰富文章内容?无话可说要这么应对
托福写作无话可说怎么办?
托福写作要善于联想到一些具体的事实、具体的例证以及具体的现象。比如说,要谈论电视节目这一话题,可以联想到新闻联播,并由此想到它让人们开阔视野,了解世界,但有人觉得话题太熟悉了,反而一时说不出什么来。其实,托福写作题目一般是永恒的话题,在任何时候都可以讨论;或为当代话题,让所有的人都会有话可说。题目是公平的,绝对不会让某一专业的考生有特别的优势。
托福写作如何从细节中形成观点?
所以,考生一定能联想起具体细小的事情,再形成观点。把看得见摸得着的事物带来的思考变成作文里的分支观点,具体细节内容变成证据。这样就不担心托福作文字数不足了,这不失为一种很好的策略。例如,“计算机的利与弊”这个话题似乎太大,但是可能想到的具体的现象是小孩、学生要在计算机前玩计算机游戏。由此带来的思考是,这些学生整天呆在那里对他们的头脑是有害的(harmful to their minds),并且浪费大量时间(waste a lot of time)。
把思路变成观点再论述
由此,当头脑出现空白时,应该将具体的、细小的、琐碎的、微不足道的事物所引发的思考变成观点,再进行论述。这种定式思维的形成需要多下工夫。从无话可说到有话可说,下面的例子让人不无启发:在多种场合下,经常要欢迎领导讲几句话。领导往往首先开口说:同志们(大家)好,我利用这个机会讲三句话。接着讲第一句话时,脑子里不知道第二句话是什么,讲第二句时,根本就没想第三句要说什么。但他最终说了三句话,以“谢谢大家”结束讲话。“领导讲话1、2、3”成了一种定式,他总能找到有关内容讲几点,这种功夫是长期磨炼的结果,写作文也一样,平时需要多多练习这种思维。
托福写作:常识积累
本文分为三个部分:其中Independent Writing Task 9个问题,Integrated Writing Task 6个问题,以及牵涉全局写作的3个问题。
Independent Task
Q: Independent Writing Task有没有题库?
A: 没有,但是可以借鉴TWE的题库。
“You will see topics very similar to these [TWE Topics] on the TOEFL iBT.” [OG, P267]
Q: 准备Independent Writing Task需不需要专业知识?
A: “None of the topics requires specialized knowledge. Most topics are general and are based on the common experience of people in general and students in particular.” [OG, P267]
Q: 写作的时候,观点重不重要?
A: “It does not matter whether you agree or disagree with the topic; the raters are trained to accept all varieties of opinions.” [OG, P267]
“I think test takers had better simply pick one side rather than straddle the fence.” [Susan Hines, Dec. ]
“Creativity is not necessary.” [Susan Hines, Dec. 2006]
Q: 是否可以通过增加深刻的逻辑和复杂的例子来掩盖或者弥补语言能力的不足?
A: 不可以。
“If your language is hard to follow, your sentences are overly simple, and your vocabulary is limited, you may score no higher than 3 no matter how impressive your ideas may be.” [OG, P260]
而且从例子的选择上讲,并不要求使用庞大、复杂的例子,尽管这些例子可能论证力更强。个人经历就是一种很好写的例子。阅卷人并不依据论据的复杂性来看文章。
“Personal experiences are common.” [Susan Hines, Dec. 2006]
Q: 可不可以使用前人的模板(templates)来写作?
A: 那要看你怎么定义“模板”这个词。如果“模板”指的是段落结构和文章结构,那没有任何问题,比如“五段式结构”可能会一直是TOEFL文章最好的写法。但如果“模板”是指背下来的,可以不加思考就可以套到任何题目上的段落内容,那就千万不要这样做。
Do not “memorize” long introductory and concluding paragraphs just to add words to your essay. Raters will not look favorably on wordy introductory and concluding paragraphs such as the following:
“The importance of the issue raised by the posed statement, namely creating a new holiday for people, cannot be underestimated as it concerns the very fabric of society. As it stands, the issue of creating a new holiday raises profound implications for the future. However, although the subject matter in general cannot be dismissed lightheartedly, the perspective of the issue as presented by the statement raises certain qualms regarding practical application.”
“In conclusion, although I have accept that it is imperative that something be done about creating a new holiday for people and find the underlying thrust of the implied proposal utterly convincing, I cannot help but feel wary of taking such irrevocable steps and personally feel that a more measured approach would be more rewarding.”
Likewise, raters will not look favorably on paragraphs like the following, which uses a lot of words but fail to develop any real ideas:
“At the heart of any discussion regarding an issue pertaining to creating a new holiday, it has to borne in mind that a delicate line has to be trod when dealing with such matters. The human resources involved in such matters cannot be guaranteed regardless of all the good intentions that may be lavished. While it is true that creating a new holiday might be a viable and laudable remedy, it is transparently clear that applied wrongly such a course of action could be calamitous and compound the problem rather than provide a solution.” [OG, P259]
“I think you could use it as long as it is on topic.” [Susan Hines, Dec. 2006]
Q: 阅卷人最主要看重文章的哪些方面?
A: Your ability
to respond directly to the question;
to take a clear position; and
to write an essay characterized by (1) good organization, (2) proper use of supporting examples, (3) sentence variety, and (4) correct sentence structures.
[Workshop Manual, P26]
Q: 5分和4分最大的区别在哪里?
A: “Those that receive a score of 4 also have clear, well-written essays, but there are more flaws and the ideas are less developed.” [Teacher's Manual]
Q: 词汇和句式是不是越复杂越好?
A: 词汇和句式需要一定的复杂性。
“Raters will also judge your essay based on the complexity of sentence structures and on the quality and complexity of your vocabulary. If you use very simple sentences and very basic vocabulary, you will probably not be able to express very complex ideas.” [OG, P260]
但是,不是越复杂越好。
就词汇而言,关键是表达的准确性。请参看OG第287页的满分范文1,评语中有这样一句话:The writer does not use high-level vocabulary, but word choice is correct throughout.同时请参看Workbook第57页的范文,同样没有big words,也是满分。
就句式而言,关键是表意准确、流畅且能够变化。但为了达到变化或者准确表达复杂意思的目标,出现一些复杂的句式是很正常的。但一味追求复杂是没有意义的。
Q: 文字是不是越正式(formal)越好?
A: 不是。Independent Writing Task并不偏好formal expressions.只要能把意思表达清楚,并把问题回答好了,就行了。参见OG第288页满分范文2,评语中这样写道:the writer consistently demonstrates command of language and English idioms, especially by using various informal expressions (“Let's assume,” “we would all agree,” “can make or beak,” “come in very handy”).
Integrated Task
Q: 阅读文章和听力文章中共有几种可能的关系?
A: There are three kinds of connections between the reading passage and the listening passage.
a. The listening passage that challenges the points made in the reading.
b. The listening passage that presents the reasons/ways the problem described in the reading passage is solvable or really not a problem at all.
c. The listening passage that supports the points made in the reading.
[OG, P252] [Workshop Manual, P41]
目前考的都是Contrast题目(只有一次考到了Solution,但也和Contrast差不多),预计在不久的将来也不会有太大变化。根据ETS高级专员(Assessment Specialist II)Susan Hines [Dec, 2006]的说法,目前题库中还没有出过关于support的题目(“Comparison is not available now.”),所以建议大家主要针对contrast题目进行训练,偶尔也可以用朗文的光盘训练一下solution的写法。
Q: 阅读文章和听力文章之间一般会有几点相关联?
A: “Typically the main idea will be developed with three points.” [OG, P252]
Q: 文章中可不可以出现自己对所谈问题的看法?
A: “Remember that you are NOT being asked for your opinion. You ARE being asked to explain how the points in the listening relate to points in the reading.” [OG, P253]
Q: 写作的时候可不可以照搬阅读和听力中的原话?
A: 总的来讲,照搬原文是不可以的。关键词可以不变,但是整体内容必须被paraphrase出来,特别是阅读材料里面的内容。
“In English-speaking countries, you must follow the rules for citing when you use the same words of the original speaker or author. If you do not do this, it is considered a form of intellectual stealing, called plagiarism. While this may be accepted in some cultures, it is not acceptable in most English-speaking academic settings. Therefore, paraphrasing skills are important to learn.” [TOEFL iBT Tips, P29]
“Restatement and paraphrasing is, of course, needed.” [Susan Hines, Dec., 2006]
Q: 5分和4分的区别在哪里?
A: “A response that scores at level 4 has many of the characteristics of a 5, but it does not reflect the content of the listening passage as accurately.” [Workshop Manual, P45]
Q: 高分(5分、4分)和3分的区别在哪里?
A: “The response may omit one major key point made in the lecture.” [Workbook, P7]
“Response generally cannot receive a score higher than 3 if they do not address all three points and usually need to address two of the points of contrast.” [Workbook, P11]
“Responses that earn a score of 3 respond to the prompt, but they are vaguer than either 4 or 5 responses. Some details might be incorrect or altogether missing and inaccuracies increase. This combination may cause the reader to be slightly confused.” [Workshop Manual, P46]
All Writing Tasks
Q: 高分(5分和4分)和低分(1~3分)在评分程序上有什么区别?
A: 总的来讲,高分(4和5分)的文章要符合评分标准上的所有要求才能评为高分,但是低分文章(1到3分)只要符合评分标准的某一条就可以评为低分。
“In general, responses should be scored at the highest levels (4 or 5) if all the score descriptors fit the response. In contrast, a response should be scored at one of the lower levels (3, 2, or 1) if some or any of the score descriptors noticeably fit the response.” [OG, P267]
Q: 拼写错误和语言问题要不要紧?
A: 关于这一点,我们要一分为二来看。一方面,我们没必要吹毛求疵;阅卷人知道这是first draft并且是under timed condition,只要看得懂,不构成理解障碍,就没太大问题(minor flaw)。另一方面,语法和拼写还是重要的,一旦这些小错误导致阅卷人觉得难以理解,就会构成重大问题(major flaw)。
把“dependence”写成“dependency”没太大问题;偶尔把“becomes independent”写成了“becomes independency”是个可以看到的错误,但还是问题不大;偶尔写出“They prefer to be depended on their parents.”这样的奇怪句子也会得到阅卷人的宽恕。
“Occasional language errors will not count against you as long as they do not cause you to misrepresent the meaning of points from the reading and the lecture.” [OG, P253]
“If your essay includes a few minor lexical and grammar errors, you can still get a high score. However, if you make a lot of grammar errors and if those errors make it hard to understand your meaning, you will get a lower score.” [OG, P260]
Q: 字数是不是很重要?
A: 首先,字数没有上限。
其次,目前字数会比以前更有意义,因为考试有计数器专门动态显示字数,为的是让考生对自己的字数做到心里有数。而且两篇文章都有了推荐字数。所以,我的建议是超过这个建议字数,虽然不用超过太多。(Integrated Task超过150,Independent Task超过300)
最后,关键是内容,而不是数量。不要为了求字数而导致文章很啰嗦。
“Suggested length is between 150 to 225 words. You will not be penalized if you write more, so long as what you write answers the question.” [OG, P253]
“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. There is no maximun word limit. You may write as much as you wish in the time alloted.” [OG, P258]
“The length is not considered.”
A or B
将 原题复述___________________.When faced with the decision of A of B, quite a few would deem that______________________, but others, in contrast, believe A/B as the premier choice and that is also my point. Among countless factors which influence -A/-B, there are three conspicuous aspects as follows.The main reason for my propensity of _________is that_______.
The second reason can be seen by every person that________.In addition, these reason are also usable when we consider that_________.
There are some disadvantages in____________________另一种观点的缺点__________.
In a word, _____________重复观点句并缩写理由__________________.Taking into account of all these factors, we may reach the conclusion that________.
agree or disagree
Some people argue as if it is a general truth that a _____________________.But to be frank, I cannot agree with them. There are numerous reasons why I hold no confidence on them, and I would explore only a few primary ones here.The main problem with this argument is that it is ignoran to the basic fact that______________解释本段中心___________.
Another reason why I disagree with the above statement is that I believe that______________.
What is more, some students are interested in__________.In a word, ________________.
A or B
In my point of view, A is as important as, if not more important than B. So it is sagacious to choose A. Among count less factors which influence A. there are three conspicuous aspects as follows.
The above point is certainly true if A is considered. For example,___________________.
Another reason why I agree with the above statement is that I believe that A is better than B. For instance,_______________.
It would probably not be too kindly disposed to the idea that B is not important . B________也好_________.
In a word, to choose A or B is something of a dilemma to the public because they sometimes are confused by the seemingly good qualities of B, and neglect hte genuinely good aspects of A. For the reasons presented above, I strongly commit to the notion that A, but not B.
A or B
Depending on personal experience, personality type and emotional concern, we find that some people hold the idea of A meanwhile others prefer to B, from my point of view, it is more advisable to chose A rather than B. My arguments for this point are listed as follows.
The main reason for my propensity for A is that___________________________. 就理由进行解释_____________________. For instance,____________________ .
Another reason can be seen by every one is that____________________________. 就理由进行解释___________________. For example,_____________.The argument I support in the first paragraph is also in a position of advantage because_____________________________.Although I agree that there may be a couple of advantages of B, I feel that the disadvantages are more obvious. Such as________________.
In a word, ________________________________________________.So, it is sagacious to support the statement that it is better to A.
