托福写作——方法指导（一）

三、托福作文模板

对于那些刚入门的考生来说，托福作文是最让人头疼的，在基础入门阶段最重要的就是全面理解托福写作，抓住考试要求点，按照主次步骤，循序渐进，一定会取得好成绩的。以下就是小编整理英语作文常出现的问题，建议同学们从以下五个关键步骤入手：

　　1.仔细审题，分析提示句，明确三方面问题

　　切题是写好文章最重要的前提。有的考生抱怨，自己感觉文章内容丰富、语言生动流畅，得分却不高。其实，文章跑题是分数偏低的主要原因。因此，审好题、审清题在很大程度上关系到整篇文章的成败，绝不可以掉以轻心。审题，不仅要仔细研究题目，还要结合给出的提示句加以分析。首先要明确文章要写的内容，即文章要围绕什么主题来写，这是保证整篇文章切题的关键;其次，确定文章所需的主语人称，人称混乱是中国学生常犯的一个毛病，而在审题阶段确定人称是避免文章人称混乱的有效途径;第三，注意文章对动词的时态、语气有无特殊要求。

　　2.围绕提示句，构建文章框架

　　草拟提纲时，要紧紧围绕提示句，尤其是提示句的关键词，尽量多地扩展提示句所提供的信息，从而基本构筑出文章的框架。在扩展提示句时，要注意，可以原封不动地照抄提示句中的关键词，但是绝对不要照搬提示句中的词组和句子，一定要变换意思相同的表达进行替换，这是显示考生语言应用能力的重要一环。为了避免段落内容跑题，要从提示句中的关键词出发，围绕关键词开拓思路，发挥联想，记录下所联想到的东西：可以是句子，也可以是词组;可以是英语，也可以是汉语。然后对所记录的内容进行筛选，选择最有代表性的内容草拟出文章的提纲。

　　3.依据所拟提纲，写出全文主旨句及段落主题句

　　全文主旨句(thesis statement)涵盖全文的核心内容，而段落主题句(topic sentence)则是统领段落中心内容的。段落主题句是为全文主旨句服务的。很多同学对全文主旨句缺乏了解，甚至无法区分全文主旨句和段落主题句。提出全文主旨时，应注意下面的问题：

　　1)主旨通常是一个包含所写的主旨要义，即中心思想的单一的陈述句;

　　2)主旨对文章的展开加以限制;

　　3)主旨不能用短语、从句、或疑问句;

　　4)主旨应该明确具体，但主旨如果过于具体化就无法展开文章的写作;

　　5)同一个标题可以有不同的主旨，所选主旨必须侧重标题的某一不同方面的内容;

　　6)主旨必须揭示作者的观点和态度。

　　4.托福英语作文范文一

　　People attend college or university for many different reasons (for example, new experiences, career preparation, increased knowledge). Why do you think people attend college or university? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

　　People attend colleges or universities for a lot of different reasons. I believe that the three most common reasons are to prepare for a career, to have new experiences, and to increase their knowledge of themselves and the world around them.

　　Career preparation is becoming more and more important to young people. For many, this is the primary reason to go to college, They know that the job market is competitive. At college, they can learn new skill for careers with a lot of opportunities. This means careers, such as information technology, that are expected to need a large workforce in the coming years.

　　Also, students go to colleges and universities to have new experiences. This often means having the opportunity to meet people different from those in their hometowns. For most students, going to college is the first time they've been away from home by themselves. In additions, this is the first time they've had to make decisions on their own. Making these decisions increases their knowledge of themselves.

　　Besides looking for self-knowledge, people also attend a university or college to expand their knowledge in subjects they find interesting. For many, this will be their last chance for a long time to learn about something that doesn't relate to their career.

I would recommend that people not be so focused on a career. They should go to college to have new experiences and learn about themselves and the world they live in.
