【托福培训-写作】托福写作备考资料——优秀范文实例汇总(32)

托福考试作为一项英语语言能力的测试，其设置的目的，是为了考察一个希望到美国生活、学习的考生在语言上是否已经做好了充分的准备。从托福考试的题目设计来看，听力部分主要是围绕美国大学校园或者课堂的对话出题，阅读部分主要是围绕着简单的学术文章出题。考生如果能够通过这样的测试的话，一般被认为就具备了在美国学校“生存”下来的能力。在1987年以前，考生参加托福考试，不需要参加写作能力的测试。但是，美国各大院校普遍感觉到，即使在托福考试中发挥出色的考生，在撰写学校的论文时仍有较大的困难。这就要求在学生赴美留学之前，还要接受写作能力的考察。于是，ETS（Educational Testing Service）从1987年5月开始，在中国境内推出了TWE（Test of Written English），也就是我们经常讲的托福考试的写作部分。

MA What change would make your hometown more appealing to people your age? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

　　I think that people my age would like to have a place to go after school. They could go there to socialize, have meetings, and just relax.

　　In my town, there are a few tea houses, but these are reserved for our fathers and their friends. Teenagers do not go there unless it’s to carry message to their fathers. We need a place where we can meet after school to talk about school and other subjects that interest us.

　　At our own tea house, we could also have meetings. Those would be like club meetings. We could have a debating society, a poetry reading group, or a political club. We could meet after school one night a week and have our meetings.

　　We need a place where we could just relax away from our family. Our home life is very hectic; there are a lot of younger children making a lot of noise in the evening. We need a quiet place to study, read the paper, or just sit.

　　If our town had a tea house reserved for teenagers, it would be good for our parents since they would always know where we were. They would know that we were just socializing, or meeting, or just relaxing with our friends.
