② 托福写作如何写一个topic sentence(主题句)
所谓主题句( sentence, 也有人叫它中心句),就是独立写作主体段中统领全文的那个句子,也就是表述在独立写作头脑风暴和谋篇布局时候想到的“主要理由”或者“论点”的那个句子。通常一篇独立写作有三个主题句。
例如在题目“Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is betterto work in large companies than in small ones.”,选择agree,三个主题句可以是:
The first reason is that a large company can provide more opportunities to develop one’s ability
Another reason for choosing a big company involves welfare.
A third reason is that one who appreciates the unique culture of abig enterprise will become a more responsible person to the society.
在托福写作中,三个主题句可以说是作文中最重要的一组句子,因为主题句对段落起到“提纲挈领”的作用,同时对整篇文章的结构清晰度和文章逻辑性也至关重要。
如何将这个理由“完整”“清晰”“出彩”的表达出来就是本文讨论的话题。
首先,每段主题句通常都位于段首,紧跟于“first, second, third”这些“信号词”之后。除此之外还需要注意以下几点。
丨简明扼要
主题句需要让读者看到之后能够快速、准确地把握本段的主要内容。这要求我们在写主题句的时候,一方面内容要简单,另一方面用语要凝练。
先来看一个反面例子:
“First and foremost, television, invented in the last century, withits wide availability and increasingly prosperous programs ,becomes one of the most powerful means of communication in history, and is more and more difficult to ignore”
这个主题句涵盖的内容太多,读完这个句子,读者根本不明白本段是要陈述电视节目蓬勃发展(increasingly prosperous program), 要强调电视是最强力的交流工具(the most powerful means of communication in history),还是要论证电视不可被忽视(difficult to ignore),这就是一个典型的内容太复杂的主题句。
再看一个反例:
“First of all, following the new customs can show a sense of respect,which can allow a better and faster adaption inside the local population so that they make more friends.”
这个句子也有两个论点:表示尊重(show a sense of respect),扩大社交(make more friends),同样也使读者不能抓住本段的主要内容。
如何避免这种错误,使主题句内容简单呢?很简单,首先做到每个主题句有且只有一个论点。论点就是指我们头脑风暴时候想到的那些“key words”,比如健康,安全,情感等等,每段写一个,不要把健康和安全放在同一个段落,也不要把情感和成功放在同一个段落。
例如上面第二个例子,我们只需要删去一个论点,就可以变得非常简洁:
“To start with, accepting cultures in the foreign country is an indispensable element that contributes to the expansion of social circle.”这是一个简洁的主题句,只有扩大社交(contributes to the expansion of social circle)这一个论点。
论点唯一还不一定能完全做到简洁,来看另一个反例:
“The first reason why letting children care for animals isnot the best way to teach them about responsibility is that it could negatively impact a child’s health.”
这句话虽然只有一个论点,可是用语太繁杂,让人头晕。主题句的语法不建议太复杂,建议大家把花式操作留到其他部分去秀,在主题句,只要写一些简单句,例如:“First, raising pets will exert a negative impact on a child’shealth.”就行了。
丨不是陈述事实
来看下面两个句子:
A: “First, some children might be infected by feeding animals.”
B: “First, raising pets could negatively impact a child’s health.”
哪一个是好的主题句呢?
答案是B。
因为A句的内容是一个“纯粹的事实”,而B句则是“抽象的概念”(exert negative impact),换言之,A句可以作为B句的例子,但B句不能作为A句的例子。
陈述事实的句子是不能作为主题句的,事实是不言自明的。不言自明,也就不需要后面的文字来“论证”了。主题句需要写“a sentence that you could give examples for”,而不能写一个 “example”。
来练习判断下面几组句子中哪一个可以做主题句呢?
A: “Second, the academic performance of some children becomes poor after they are responsible for caring for a pet.”
B:“Second, caring for a pet could disrupt a child’s regular studies.”
A: “First, people could learn how to communicate with eachother through participating in community activities”
B: “First, participating in community activities is apractical and effective approach to enhance their social skills.”
A: “First, letting children take care of animal is a good suggestion for the reason that kids like animals.”
B: “To start with, raising pets fill friendship vacuums and satisfy people’s need to nurture"
(答案:三组都是B句较好)
丨使用高级词汇
很多同学要问,如果主题句中不建议使用复杂句型,又不能出现多层结构,那如何显示自己的语言功力呢?要知道我们展示语言能力的地方并非只有复杂的句型,丰富和精准的词汇使用,同样可以展示英语的专业程度。比如
“First, go to museums can teach people different kinds of knowledge”
→ “First, visiting museums provide people with an opportunity to comprehend a vast amount of knowledge”
想想看,如果原本句子中只会写“good”之处,替换为“advantageous, beneficial, effective, efficacious, favorable,invaluable, rewarding, unparalleled, unprecedented”等等词汇,效果是不是更好呢?如果多次出现“important”的地方,改写为“central, critical ,crucial, decisive, essential, pivotal, primary,principal, vital,a key to, an indispensable part, play a pivotal role, attach great importance to”会不会增加可读性呢?
在平时的阅读中,注意积累一些“高级词汇”,准确掌握词义,并且刻意练习使用这些词汇,逐渐就会取得不错的写作成绩。
③ 托福写作考试开头怎么写
托福考试培训老师介绍说,托福写作考试需要在文章开头就摆明立场,并且做一定的阐述,而这些对正品文章给考官的印象最为重要,那么托福写作考试开头怎么写呢?我们一起来看看吧! I.对立法 文章开头首先引出人们对要讨论的问题的不同看法,然后提出作者自己的不同看法,或偏向的那个看法。对立法的句型多用于有争议性的主题。 1 When asked about..., the vast / overwhelming majority of most / many / quite a few people say think believe answer 1 that.... But other people regard / view / see / think of.. . as.... I think /view quite / a bit differently. 1.1 When asked about the biggest problem today, many people say that it is the serious energy crisis. They are afraid that the world will soon run out of oil and run short of food. But other people hold optimistic views: they regard it as a natural result of the economic development and believe it will be only solved with further advances in economy and technology. 当问起世界上现在最大的问题是什么,许多人说是严重的能源危机。他们担心人类不久会用完石油、发生食品短缺!但有些人则持乐观的看法。他们把能源危机看成是经济发展的自然结果,而且只有随着经济和技术的进一步发展才能得以解决。 1.2 When asked what kind of career they will pursue upon graation, mist college students say that they would choose a job which will bring them lot of money and a conformable life. Working in a big bank or company is what they desire. But I think quite differently. I would prefer a career which will help realize my potentials. 当问起毕业后干什么,大多数大学生说,他们会找一个能给他们带来许多钱和舒适生活的工作。在一家大银行或大的公司里工作是他们所向往的。但是我的想法大不相同。我要选择一个能够发挥我的才能的职业。 2 When It comes to..., some people think believe that.... Others argue claim that the 2 opposite reverse is true. There Is probably some truth in both arguments statements , but.... 2.1 When it canes to international sport such as the Olympic Games and the World Cup soccer game, some people believe that it creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead in misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably a little bit of truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. 当说到国际体育比赛,诸如奥林匹克运动会和世界杯足球赛,有些人认为它能增进国与国之间的友善。如果许多国家在一起比赛交流,他们就会知道怎么一起生活。但另一些人则持相反的观点。他们认为国际体育竞赛只会造成虚假的民族自豪感,导致相互间的误解和仇恨.这两种观点可能都有点道理,但是从最近几年的奥林匹克运动会来看,很少能证明体育运动可以增进国与国之间的友好感情。 2.2 In the last decades, advances in medical technology have made it possible for people to live longer than in the past. Yet when it comes to the desirability of extending the life of the terminally ill, some people, including some doctors, say that the quality of life is as important as life itself, and that people should in be forced to go on living when the conditions of life have become unbearable. They argue that people should be allowed to die with dignity and decide when they want to die. However those who are in favor of life-extending measures argue that life under any circumstances is better than death and that the ty of doctors is always to extend life as long as possible. There is probably some truth on both sides, but recently the public clamor for the legalization of voluntary euthanasia seem increasingly strong. 在最近几十年,医学技术的进步使得人类有可能比过去活得长了。但是当论及延长一个无可挽救、濒临死亡的人的生命是否必要时,有些人,包括有些医生认为生命的质量和生命本身同样重要;当病情已变得不堪忍受了,就不应迫使这些人再活下去。他们坚持说应允许一个人尊严地死去,允许他们决定什么时候死。但是赞成采取延长生命的方法的人认为在任何情况下生总比死好;一个医生的责任就是尽可能延长一个人的生命。或许双方都有点道理,但是最近公众要求对自愿安乐死合法化的呼声似乎越来越高。 3 There is a public general much debate discussion controversy today nowadays on about over as to the problem issue of.... Those who criticize oppose object to 3 ... contend argue ... that.... They believe that .... But people who advocate favor ..., on the other hand, maintain assert that.... 3.1 There is much discussion today about whether fast economic growth is desirable. Those who criticize economic growth argue that we must slow down. They believe that society is approaching certain limits on growth. These include the fixed supply of natural resources, and the possible negative effects of instry on the natural environment. People who want more economic growth, on the other hand, argue that even at the present growth rate, there are still many poor people, They maintain that only continued growth can create the capital needed to improve the quality of life and provide the financial resources required to protect our natural surroundings from instrialization. 现在围绕快速的经济发展是否应该正展开一场热烈的讨论。那些持反对意见者认为我们必须放慢发展速度。他们说发展已接近某种极限!这其中包括有限的自然资源供应和工业对环境造成的消极影响。然而要求更快发展的人则认为,即使按目前的发展速度还是有许多穷人。他们认为经济的持续快速发展才能创造提高生活质量所必需的资本,才能提供用来保护环境不受工业化破坏的资金。
④ 托福作文开头怎么写
新托福的独立性写作一般分为两种类型:
1.选择型:列举出两种行为、意见、回观点等,要你选答择认同哪一种;
2.是非型:列举一种行为、意见、观点等,问你是否认同,对此有什么看法.
开头的写法可以是:对于选择题型,第一句根据题目所述的话题描写一下背景,然后用复述等方式提出题目提出的两种看法,最后一句表达自己支持的观点.类似地,如果是是非题型,首先描述一下题目提出的社会现象/背景等,然后用复述等方式提出题目所述的观点,最后提出自己的观点.
结尾的写法:一定要对应开头,明确表达自己的观点:可先用让步手法描写你不支持的观点的可取之处,再用转折方式提出它的缺点、漏洞,再提出自己支持的观点及原因,最后一句总结“所以你认为...比较好”
⑤ 要一篇托福英语作文,独立写作,用词要高大上

⑥ 托福写作第一段要怎么开始
首段特征:
简而言之,首段要短(3-4句话)、有趣并统领全文。
要达到ETS所提出的三点高分标准,首先要做到的就是使用一些能引起读者兴趣的手段。这一点极为重要。试想如果阅卷人一开始就觉得文章过于老套于平淡,要让他们最后改变印象极为困难。这也使得考生必须在首段就将阅卷人的注意力抓住。这类抓住注意力的手段在英语中被形象的称为“鱼钩”(hook),主要有五种
1. 漏斗鱼钩 (the funnel hook)
2. 问题鱼钩 (the question hook)
3. 驳斥鱼钩 (the refutation hook)
4. 叙事鱼钩 (the dramatic hook)
5. 引语鱼钩 (the quotation hook)
上周我们说了首段写作方法之漏斗鱼钩,(参见本公众号文章:《托福写作 | 开头的诱惑之“漏斗鱼钩” + 高分句式》)。本周我们再来说一说第二种开头手段------“问题鱼钩”。
“问题鱼钩”以提问的方式引出文章主题。这一手段像“漏斗鱼钩”一样容易使用。使用这一鱼钩时,必须注意:问句不宜过多,一般不能超过三个,而且都要紧扣题目。
如何装备“问题鱼钩”
提出问题:首先是设问或反问
回答问题:然后是回答;
陈述主题:最后是全文的主题陈述
⑦ 托福独立写作开头段总是写不好
托福独立写作开头段总是写不好 ?可能是没有抓住技巧,一般来说,开篇段落版的写作可分为两大步权骤:
第一步就是用简洁明了的句子对原题目的意思进行同义替换
第二步是提出自己的观点
细化起来可以概括为四句话:第一句,采用同义替换的方式对原题目的意思进行更改,当然是“形变神不变”;第二句,对题目的意思进行解释;第三句,提出自己的观点;第四句,概括自己所提出观点的理由,引起下文。
⑧ 好的托福作文开头该怎样写
在托福写作考试中,托福写作的开篇是“门面”、是“精华”、是吸引阅卷人的关键所在。因此,如何撰写托福作文开头,是大家在备战托福的过程中一定要考虑的问题,环球教育小编为大家带来托福写作开篇只需三招,一起来看看是哪三招吧。
1). 追根溯源法
即从托福写作题目给出的话题中找出这个现象产生的原因来扩展背景句。这种方法适合大多数的话题,考生要尽量在考前做托福作文练习,这样在考试就可以得心应手了。
请看下面的例子:
There are social, medical and technical problems associated with the use of mobile phones. What forms do they take? Do you agree that the problems outweigh the benefits of mobile phones?
这个题目中给出的话题是mobile phone,所以考生可以从它产生的原因来考虑,就是科技的繁荣,而科技的繁荣,手机的广泛使用是在20世纪末,这样背景句就有内容可写了。当然要通过相应的句型来写了。如
… (time) witnessed …
这个背景句就可以写成: The late 20th century witnessed the boom of science and technology, which gave rise to a series of technological innovations, including the mobile phone.
再看一例:
Nowadays, some universities offer students skills that assist them to find employment, but some people believe that the main function of a university should be to provide students with access to knowledge for its sake. What is your opinion?
这题要求大家讨论大学是提供职业技能还是传授知识。那从传统观点来看,大学是传授知识的地方,为什么会提出要传授技能呢,所以这里考生也可以用追根溯源法思考下,大家肯定可以想到是由于找工作已经成为当今教育的目的之一了,所以很多大学就转移到以传授技能为主了。那当然还是要结合句型,这里可以用as 引导的原因状语从句。
参考:As job-hunting has become one of the main purposes of university ecation, the majority of the universities tend to offer vocational trainings to prepare the students for their future career.
2). 重述法。
即对关于这个话题的当前现状的重述。
请看一例:
Nowadays, people are facing more and more work-related stress. State the possible reasons for this phenomenon and make some recommendations about how to combat it。
本题的话题关于压力,那考生可从当前社会现象来考虑这个问题,考生不难想出当下对压力这一现象的情况,即很多人都在承受着或多或少的压力。可用it is generally believed that … 形式主语的句型。
参考: It is generally believed that white-collar as well as blue-collars workers are suffering from psychological and physical stress stemming from work.
再看一例:
Environmental problem is too big for indivial countries and indivial people to address. In other words, we have reached the stage where the only way to protect the environment is at an international level. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
本题话题为环境问题,考生也可用重述法对当前环境问题进行重述,这时,可以用In modern society/ At present, 等表时间的介词短语来引导一个叙述句型。
参考:In modern society, environment related issues have confronted ecological scientists, government agencies and the general public.
3). 定义法。
即通过对话题词的定义的介绍,这种方法在新托福开头写作中有一定难度,考生需要有渊博的知识,才能做到对名词的解释,但对特别明显的词语,考生可借鉴这种方法。
请看一例:
The main purpose of public libraries is to provide books and they should not waste their limited resources and space on providing expensive hi-tech media such as computer software, videos and DVDs. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
本题中的话题词为图书馆,可以解释的词也是图书馆比较方便容易。那么到底如何解释呢,比如说图书馆在传统意义上来看,是收藏书的地方,而现在因为科技发展,使得图书馆的意义发生改变,从而引出话题。这里同样可以用形式主语:
It is generally believed that public libraries are places with a large collection of books; however, the digital time has given it a new means of storing and retrieving information.
以上就是环球教育小编为大家带来的托福写作开篇只需三招的内容,大家可以在练习中参考,希望对大家的托福写作备考有所帮助。
⑨ 急需英语写作的开头结尾好词好句!!!
英语写作的开头很简单,一般通常是把要求里的内容介绍用另外一种方法复述一下,但是切不可直接照抄原文,否则扣分!结尾通常采用一些展望未来的句子。
