托福写作万能开头+词汇拼接

作为一个一有epiphany(顿悟)或eureka moment(发现)就要到朋友圈写几百个字英语celebrate、英语产出质量较高的人,这次我决定谈一谈托福写作的语言。

经常对孩子们说,语言不重要,但这是个big, fat lie,其实在判断一个孩子最后能得多少分时,我们还是看他的语言水平。我说语言不重要,一是托福给分很lenient(宽松), 30分语言都不需要很好,而是短期提高语言质量是tall order(很难)。

为什么语言水平难以提高呢?因为孩子们写作时经常think out of the box(创新),而不是take a page from someone else’s book(模仿)。而且很多人仍然只记单个字词,而不是记固定表达和句式。

比如,环境污染会破坏经济发展。你会怎么说呢。

Environmental pollution threatens economic development,写到这样已经不错,

但其实你还能说,

Environmental pollution takes a heavy toll on the economy/takes a heavy economic toll.

或者说

Environmental pollution wreaks havoc on economic growth.

Environmental pollution puts economic growth in jeopardy.

Economic growth is at stake when the environment deteriorates.

这个最基本的例子,我的point是,很多情况下,用短语和习惯表达trumps(好于)一个单词。

当Flora还是Newcastle的学生时,下面七八十个人盯着我,等我翻译,我还是每句话都要用习惯表达,帅帅的英国老师都笑了,老师们开始说我中到英更好。但其实这种强迫症在口语中是一个ticking bomb, a disaster waiting to happen(灾难),但我更希望孩子们在写作中能更在乎自己的表达,使用已知的确认无误的句型,积累好词好句,写作时想办法用它们造句,也许你就会这几个句子,但对托福已经够了。看大家的作文,强调句、倒装句galore(泛滥)但这不一定是更好的英语,只让你的句子wordy(拖沓)。所以多准备习惯表达和句型更重要。

接下来,我想用托福写作的开头段讲一下语言的使用。写开头段,我们一般的模式是背景争议法。现在大家都在讨论一个话题,有人认为A对,有人认为B对,我认为...。是不是过于没有创意呢。但是语言能改善这个不足。Flora从以前写的作文中找了2段,用词都还比较基本,也没有写得多好,但托福不需要多好。我们看下面的例子吧。

1. Some prefer to buy a technological device as soon as it is available, others prefer to get it after it has been adopted by many people. Which do you prefer?

In the modern world, we are bedazzled by a plethora of choices when it comes to technological gadgets as high-tech companies roll out new phones, cameras and new everything every few months to prey on our predilection for novelty. While some have a penchant for the adrenaline rush of getting hands on the newest gizmos,

others have the patience to wait until the craze has abated. In my opinion, there is no point ingetting a high-tech product immediately after it hits the stores.

2. Do you agree or disagree that two people can be friends if one has more money than the other?

In the charged debate over whether two people in decidedly different financial situations can be friends, some argue that it’s not the income that matters so much as having things in common, while others maintain that friendships can never work for people at two ends of the financial spectrum. Weighing both sides of the argument, I find it hard to escape the conclusion that friendships don’t bode well for the rich/middling dichotomy.
