託福寫作：攻破“奇葩題”的制勝法寶—拆分法
在託福寫作考試的考場上，同學們最高興的事莫過於碰到慣例題，用上課所學的“全能理由法”就能夠做到文思泉涌。可是也許碰上看似棘手的“奇葩題”，怎麼完美處理“奇葩題”、做到險中求勝就需求用上化繁爲簡的“拆分法”。請看下文！
託福寫作：攻破“奇葩題”的制勝法寶—拆分法
咱們先來看以下一個比方，選用的標題爲2016年4月23日：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Playing sports teaches people lessons about life.一拿到這道題，許多同學會想當然地把標題當作“playing sports的好處”並用全能理由法給出了三個理由：削減壓力(alleviate pressure)、保持健康的身體狀況(maintain healthy physical condition)以及拓展人際圈(extend your scope of relationship)。可是從頭看標題，纔會發現key words限定於“體育是不是能夠教會大家日子中的道理”，之前的全能理由也都用不上了。這種狀況怎麼辦呢?本來，在碰到思路有侷限的標題時，拆分法是取勝的不二法門，咱們能夠挑選讓標題裏的key words具體化。比方，這道題傍邊，出現了一個關鍵字叫做 “sports”，運用拆分法咱們能夠先把sports拆成各種運動品種football、long-distance running、badminton，再給出相應的理由——football (realize the importance of cooperating)/ long-distance running(persistence is required in achieving success)/ badminton (find out thesignificance of conducting flexible strategies)，最終在依據分觀點進行別離的打開和證明，文章就得以成型。
下面我將用四道題由易至難來進一步展現怎麼運用“拆分法”。
丨選用2016年11月12日
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: People can solve important problems in their daily life on their own or with the help from families; the help from the government is not necessary.這道題傍邊，不管選前者仍是後者，都能夠用拆分法解題。比方，咱們挑選的thesis爲“政府在幫助大家處理平時日子中重要問題方面起到很大的作用”，就能夠運用拆分法把狀況具體化。思路能夠爲：把”problem”進行具體化拆分，考慮日子中面臨的啥嚴重問題是需求政府幹涉和處理的。這時分咱們也許就想到醫療方面需求政府provide basic medical insurance，交通方面improve the construction of urban traffic facilities以及面臨高犯罪率，需求政府come up with strategies to decrease the criminal rate。
丨選用2015年7月11日
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Teachers should be paid at least as much as doctors, lawyers or business leaders are paid. 在這道題中，假如一時想不到合適的思路，能夠運用拆分法。題幹傍邊，咱們能夠挑選 “teachers”作爲被拆分的主體。依照時刻，能夠分爲小學教師、中學教師以及大學教師。假如基地觀點立意爲“教師值得高薪”，則三個分觀點能夠別離爲：小學教師play a pivotal role in cultivating children’s initial values of distinguishing right from wrong，中學教師instill vital theoretical knowledge for high school students to establish their knowledge system，大學教師provides professional guidance for college students to find out their career path。最終得出結論，恰是由於這三點理由，所以能夠得出各個期間的教師都需求取得高薪。
丨選用2014年11月11日
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Advertisements make
products seem better than they are.媒體類題關於同學們來說也許會有些陌生，但實際上運用拆分法，也能夠極好的解題。面臨這道標題，咱們能夠很容易地找出關鍵字爲“廣告”，依據拆分法，advertisements能夠依照廣告的種類進行具體化剖析，比方分爲“播送廣告”(radio advertisements)、“電視廣告”(TV commercials)、“雜誌廣告”(magazine advertisements)。接下來，考慮的有些是這三類廣告別離怎樣使得商品比真實狀況看起來非常好。也許能夠給出的理由比方：播送廣告通常會運用專家採訪來進步商品成效的可信度(enhance the reliability of target products’ efficacy) 、電視廣告經過招引觀衆的廣告語來強化商品的質量 (using appealing slogans to emphasize the quality of products) 、雜誌廣告裏常見的辦法是經過處理圖像來強化商品作用 (intensify product effect through processing the images) 。
丨選用2015年1月31日
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: The rules that the whole societies today expect to young people to follow and obey are too strict。這道題許多同學剛拿到的時分都有種無從下手的感受，可是冷靜冷靜下來，會發現最優的辦法是挑選拆分。例如，咱們挑選的基地觀點爲：rules並沒有過於嚴厲。在整個題幹中，咱們能夠挑選拆分 ”the whole societies”，剖析在哪些地方，學生遇到的rules是有必要的。這時分，咱們就會發現，在校園裏學生被請求一致穿校服 (in order to reduce comparison among students from different family backgrounds)，在家庭傍邊孩子被請求尊老愛幼 (which is crucial for establishing a harmonious family)，在社會傍邊，法令對年輕人的喝酒年紀有請求 (for the sake of young people’s well-being)。經過拆分，咱們很快能夠把這道題的思路拓展。
信任同學們經過今日的獨家託福寫作週報，能夠愈加了解怎麼運用拆分法來處理託福實考中不是很容易回答的標題，做到遇到“奇葩題”也能夠穩操勝券!
託福綜合寫作對考生有哪些要求
在託福綜合寫作學習中，託福寫作過程中的閱讀與聽力內容是學生必須要紮實掌握的部分。由於託福綜合寫作對學生的基礎和寫作規範要求頗高，因此在複習託福綜合寫作時，要對託福綜合寫作要求內容熟悉掌握。
託福綜合寫作字數要求：從不願公開設定字數下限的ETS 終於在新託福綜合寫作字數做出了規定：在綜合寫作部分的Direction中標明“通常一篇有效的寫作需要150 ～225字”。這個要求只是“建議性”的，並不是硬性規定。針討綜合寫作的字數，ETS指出：考生所寫內容能回答考題，考生不會因爲超出規定的字數而被扣分。考生的文章並無上限，在這裏提醒大家，考生可以在規定的時間內盡其所能地寫，但寫的內容要切題。
託福綜合寫作筆記要求：在閱讀和聽力過程中，考生都能得到一張草稿紙供記筆記使用。事實上，合理高效的筆記方法確實是在最後“寫”的過程中能否寫的全面，寫的正確的最關鍵因素之一。但是，記筆記是有技巧的。一般來說，閱讀文章會有一箇中心思想和由此中心思想延伸出的三個“點”。而這三個點，又是考生將會在之後的聽力中聽到的將會被支持或者駁斥的。
託福綜合寫作觀點要求：在閱讀文章中用三個段落進行標示，而在聽力的語段中則有各種不同的連接手法來表現這三個點，因此，專家建議考生要熟悉各類表並列，遞進，列舉等的連接手法，以確定自己能夠將聽力中的三點找出來。如果這點沒有做到，語法再嚴絲合縫，詞藻再華麗，也無法獲得令人滿意的分數。基於閱讀和聽力語段信息整合得出的內容纔是綜合寫作要求考生描寫的。因此，考生不能將自己的觀點加入其中，否則將會因爲不符合考試要求而被扣分。
託福寫作獲得高分的五個技巧
第一方面：不要使用長句
長句有兩個問題，一是中國學生水平不夠，很難寫出語法沒有錯誤、意思表達準確的長句，語法錯誤、幾個逗號連用、倒裝從句混合是經常的。二是看essay的人也是人，經常是那種大學生研究生，沒人願意看長句混在一起的文章，短句更能讓人看懂，並且表達意思更加清晰，準確。
第二方面：細節要注意
出現My brother, friend的時候加上名字，出現university的時候要給上名字，給出事例的時候要給出時間地點人物，沒人願意看“我的弟弟去了一個大學，然後再大學裏交了很多朋友，後來去了公司裏那些朋友成爲了他的財富”，而“我的弟弟Dan去了Upenn讀書，在學校裏認識了Jeff、Dennis等好朋友，而他後來去Google公司工作的時候發現了他們成爲了自己一生寶貴的財富”比上面那句好了很多。實在要寫流水賬也要寫出細節和感覺。
第三方面：瞎編要編的像
如果對於一個事情，不是你親身經歷的，但你也要寫出親身經歷的感覺來。不能讓人一看就是在胡編亂造一通。這樣你的託福作文分數不會太高的。

第四方面：自己的事例難寫，最好不要寫
如果自己沒有這方面的事例，可以拿別人的事例過來用，但一定要真實。不能讓人一看就太假的感覺。
第五方面：積累，積累，再積累
託福寫作範文：保護環境與提供更多的糧食哪個重要?
寫作題目：
Modern agriculture methods damage the environment, but providing food for the growing population around the world is more important than protecting the environment.現代的農業作業方法對環境有傷害，但是給全世界與日俱增的人羣提供糧食比保護環境更重要。
範文：
Modern agriculture methods like the use of pesticides and artificial fertilizers are widely used around the world. Along with such brings forth negative effects. The most obvious and detrimental impact of modern agriculture methods is environmental degradation. Many people believe that the environmental risks should not be taken into consideration since many people are suffering from the lack of food. I certainly disagree with this.
To begin with, despite the fact that there are people who suffer from starvation, the reason is not because of the lack of food. As a matter of fact, tons of grains and corns are wasted every year. If the government and the general public really care about starving people, they should have enough ability and adequate materials to offer help. People suffer just because of bad management, worldwide corruption, and terrible indifference. So there is no need to destroy wilderness areas or use environmentally-damaging agricultural methods to increase productivity. The world nowadays has more food than we need. As long as corruption and bad management are eradicated, the world would see less people starving.
Besides, the statement asserts that providing food for a growing number of people is more urgent than the protection of environment. I find this statement totally unconvincing. People’s survival depends on the environment. More often than not, whenever the environment gets damaged, the deleterious effects are always irreversible. In other words, once the environment on which we depend on is disrupted, our lives are placed at risk. Modern agriculture, although it provides enough food, has contaminated the water and soil. When people eat crops grown with polluted water and soil, diseases will break out sooner or later. Genetically modified crops, although their negative effects are not obvious and not yet confirmed, should also be treated with great care, for it is reported that dogs, cats, and other pets become sick after ingesting GM food. If human beings are negatively affected by modern agriculture, untold dire consequences will arise. People will suffer from diseases and the government will shoulder considerable medical bills. Worse, the society may become unstable and inharmonious.
From the above discussion, I can draw the conclusion that there are other more effective methods to address starvation. No matter how much food we produce, as long as corruption and wasteful use exist, there will always be starving people. Besides, a healthy natural environment is a basic requirement of our survival. We cannot increase food production at the expense of our environment, lest we are bound to suffer for our inconsideration and recklessness.
