【托福培训-写作】托福写作备考资料——优秀范文实例汇总(35)

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。
