托福写作练习 如何巧妙使用连词并做到内在论证统一?

一.托福写作中如何巧妙使用连词

任何形式的英语文章中都应该具备一定量的连接词(路标词),因为它们是有助于读者顺利阅读的“导航坐标”;大多数考生在备考时也的确会准备一系列此类连接词,用于文章每个段落的段首;包括有表示“第一,第二,第三”等的连接词。但是单纯有段首连接词还不足以支撑全文的结构,因此考生应该同时准备段中连接词,包括“比如说,因为,但是,相对比而言”等,粗略估计,全文完成下来可以达到15个以上的路标词,不仅承接了全文,结构清晰明了,而且也为时间紧张下的写作减轻了不少字数压力。以下为常用连接词:

第一:in the first place/ first and foremost/ to start with/ to begin with/ first of all/ first/ firstly

第二:in the second place/ secondly and equal importantly/ to continue/ second/ secondly

第三:in the third place/ last but not least/ third/ thirdly

一方面、另一方面:on one hand/ on the other hand; for one thing/ for another

表原因:because/ because of/ since/ due to/ as/ thanks to/ for/ owing to

表结果:so/ therefore/ as a result/ consequently/ as a consequence

表举例:for example/ for instance/ such as/ take…as an example/ to illustrate

表承接:besides/ furthermore/ moreover/ what’s more/ in addition/ additionally

表转折:but/ while/ however/ nevertheless/ nonetheless

表比较对比: to compare with/ compared with/ in comparison with/ by contrast/ on the contrary

当然,仅仅依靠连接词是不足以表明全文的连贯性的,适当的添加过渡句也是很好的承接手段,如Official Guide To The New TOEFL P263中有一篇关于DISHONESTY KILLS RELIABILITY 的5分范文中就有出现多处明显的段落过渡句,如第三段首“After stating that everyone’s opinion can be different about this, for me honesty, in other words, always telling…”用来承接上下两段,以引出自己的观点看法;第五段首“Although I would like to see altruistic, understanding, thoughtful and loyal behavior from people, an instance of the opposite…”等都明显具备良好的过渡功能,让全文更加流畅舒服,朗朗上口。

二.托福写作练习如何做到文章内所有论证统一

Official Guide To The New TOEFL这一官方指南中也明确在写作部分提到“但要知道,仅仅使用第一,第二这样的连接词并不能保证作文结构的严谨,还要注意让所有的观点与文章的主题相关,紧扣中心思想。换句话说,作文要有统一性,评分原则中提到的统一性,渐进性和连贯性这些都是评估作文结构是否严谨,读者能否比较容易地跟上作者思路的标准。”通过上段叙述,我们不难发现作文论证统一性的重要性。

而事实上这也正是被许多考生所忽略的问题。在拿到试题后,考生们不是先腾出时间构思结构框架,而是急着抓住哪怕是一分钟的时间动笔写作,其实如此的选择是要不得的,朗阁海外考试研究中心强烈建议各位考生在考试时不要舍不得这准备的时间,正所谓“磨刀不误砍柴功”;因为只有当你事先构思好而不是边想边写,你才能真正做到论证内容的一致性,观点与论据的统一性,也才能真正取得高分。另外,用最直白的作答应对题目的提问,用单边的手段安排整篇文章成5段的总分总思路是十分适用的。

3种常用托福写作句型 让你的托福独立写作拿高分

第一种托福写作实用句型:大家熟知但是却不爱用的there be句型

说熟知是绝大部分同学或多或少写过,说不爱用,就得提提老给我们使绊的“Chinglish思维方式了”。There be的句型在写作中极容易犯错,比如:明天将会有很多重大新闻。

有的同学想都不想的造句:Tomorrow will have many significant news. 这样的句型就属于是较严重的语法错误了,tomorrow能发出have这个动作吗?肯定是不能的,所以主语并不是tomorrow。这里很明显没有可以发出“有”这个动作的主语,所以正确答案应该是:There will be many significant news tomorrow. Tomorrow 是典型的时间状语,所以以后在there be的写作中要注意可能出现的状语和主语的混淆错误。

第二种托福写作实用句型:动名词做主语

动词一般不可以在句首做主语,但是如果把动词加上ing,它就会变成“动名词”,那么这个主语就是“名正言顺”的了。语法书中定义:“动名词,即是兼有名词和动词特征的非限定性动词,可以做主语、定语、表语和宾语等。”

所以上面的二个句子这样翻译最合适:

1. 读书是一门艺术:Reading is an art.

2. 贩卖毒品是犯法的:Selling drugs is illegal.

大家可以发现,动名词做主语的句子所包含的意思真的不是针对哪一个或哪一类人,暗指的对象应该是整个大众,所以,使用动名词开头的句型不仅像是在说理,而且还更加客观、科学,是书面语的标志。

第三种托福写作实用句型:代词做主语

第三种句型还是适用在找不到主语的情况下, 但是情况要显得更加复杂一些。

例:“现在对于很多老师来说处理学生的在校不恰当行为并不是那么容易。”

句子看上去似乎很复杂,学生可能需要想很久、慢慢理清楚词与词之间的关系。其实,这时候有种很简单的方法就可以轻松地解决问题。如果在翻译一个脑海中出现的中文句子,注意到句子里有形容词的话基本上至少可以用这个句型来处理:“It is + 形容词+ for somebody to do sth.”
