【轉】托福独立写作:如何让教育类话题的语言更地道

笔者跟大家分享针对于教育类的话题,如何让你的文章语言更地道更出彩。众所周知,托福考试的写作和口语部分都属于输出型(output)的测试,需要大家自己写出或说出你的理由并解释。但是,输出前一定要做的工作是输入,否则大家再考场上会觉得大脑空空如也,任何有效信息都输出不了。可能有些考生会觉得自己的思维活跃,在考场现场编写也能够完成考试内容。但殊不知,对于一个英语不是母语的考生而言,这样做是非常危险的,因为英汉语言有很多差异,导致大家在考场上临场编写出的理由和解释都非常中式,换句话说就犯了托福写作评分标准中的大忌——语言不地道。为了帮助大家能够在准备托福考试的初期高效地积累大量的地道语言,笔者在此帮助大家从外文杂志及相关书籍中摘录出大量Native Speaker所写的文章中一些地道的表达,大家可以在平时进行积累,即便在考场上挥笔写出让考官大为称赞的地道文章。从本期开始,笔者会依据不同的话题分类给大家提供相关积累,本期重点推出教育类话题的地道语言。

  以上是笔者为大家整理出的常用于托福写作教育类话题的地道词组,在这里笔者再为大家介绍一种学习方法。词组仅仅背过一遍还不足以支撑你去输出,所以大家需要进行模拟输出练习。换句话说,你需要将这些词组想办法应用在一个段落当中,让他们发挥作用。并且通过不断地应用这些词组在自己的写作当中,不断地刺激自己的大脑,让他们从一群“死词组”变成一个个灵动的“活词组”。下面笔者为大家展示几个刚才上文呈现的词组在段落中的应用:

  词组应用展示段一:

  Some students do not want to go to school because they feel peer pressure. According to the research, peers do have a strong impact on teenagers’ performance in their study at school. In order to help students to get rid of peer pressure and create a sounder study environment, schools take a series of measures. Some schools encourage students to work as a team when doing their assignments; also some boarding schools require students to share a room with other students. These measures can make students to know much about each other and help each other as well; subsequently, these measures are also favorable for preventing peer pressure. (有些学生不想上学,因为他们感到同龄人的压力。调查表明,同龄人确实会对青少年在校的学习表现产生很大的影响。为了给学生营造一个更健康的学习氛围,帮助他们抵抗同龄人的压力,很多学校采取了一系列的措施。有些学校鼓励学生在完成任务时进行团队合作,还有些寄宿制学校要求学生与他人分享一个宿舍。这些方法都有助于学生们之间增加相互之间的了解与帮助; 进而对于避免同龄人压力也是有帮助作用的 )

  词组应用展示段二:

  Everyone knows that it costs a lot of money for parents to make their children study abroad. Despite of this fact, my parents sent me to America after I graduated from senior high school. Before I went to America to finish my bachelor degree, I used a long summer vacation to develop expertise in biology. As biology is my favorite subject, I majored in biology when I entered in the Stanford University in America. In the tutorial class, we formed many study groups and each group contained about 4-5 students. At class, all students together with the tutor would participate in a class discussion with enthusiasm. Those discussions were related to our future career and thus could help us to do our career preparation. We were also required to read a book every week and to write a book report. I found that this was a good way to share ideas with others and could help me to organize my thoughts better. From my perspective, our university provided students with opportunities to increase their potential capabilities by offering the tutorial classes. (每个人都知道,让孩子出国留学对父母来说要花费很多钱。但不顾这个事实,我的父母在我高中毕业之后将我送去了美国。在我去美国读本科之前,我利用了一个很长的暑假来培养我在生物方面的专长。由于生物是我最喜欢的学科,在我进入斯坦福大学之后我主修了生物。在我们的研究班上,我们组成了许多学习小组,每个小组大概4-5个学生。在课上,所有学生和老师都满怀热情得参与课堂讨论。这些讨论都是与我们未来职业相关的,因此可以帮助我们做职业准备。我们被要求每周读一本书并且写读书报告。我发现这是一个与人分享观点的好办法,并且还能帮助我更好地理清思路。依我看来,我们学校通过研究班的方式为学生提供了提高潜能的机会。)
