托福写作需要大量的素材，下面小编就给大家整理一些托福的写作素材，希望对你们有帮助。
托福写作素材之改编自books的电影
在看金刚狼，爱乐之城blah blah的时候，你还需要…
嗯，还需要准备些纸巾，因为这俩都挺好哭的。
还需要…
想想你的upcoming TOEFL exam, 毕竟托福写作考过这种题…
许多电影人make movies based on books. 有的人倾向于read the book before they watch the movie. Which one do you prefer?
很多同学看到这个话题的时候内心是有点崩溃的，因为他们的问题是
1. 哪些电影是小说改编的啊???
2. 哦想起了!好像豆瓣排名第一(还是第二?)的肖申克救赎是的，但是英文名是啥? Xiao Shen Ke De Jiu Shu???
We really don't want to get ourselves into this kind of situation, do we?
所以大家就趁着蹲个厕所的功夫来看一些改编自books的电影吧，shall we?
1. Beauty and the Beast美女与野兽
你们的女神屈臣氏小姐(Emma Watson)的这部美女与野兽要很快就要上映了，这个可以算是made based on books(fairy tales, actually:) 的电影吧?感觉是可以写进文章里的? 如果你要把这个电影用做你的例子，你会同意先看电影再看书还是先看书再看电影呢…BTW， 据说Emma Watson 接了这部戏就拒绝了La La Land的邀约……
2. Arrival 降临
这部降临也是改编自小说的呀!小说名字叫做Story of Your Life. IMDB评分8.1其实是很高的了，但是如果我要用这个电影来做例子的话，我肯定会支持I prefer to read the novel first, because currently the technology is not yet amazing enough to get the picture to measure up to our expectation. By the way, the physicist in my imagination is much more handsome. :
3. The Martian 火星救援
呆萌(Matt Damon) looks so cute in his spacesuit, doesn't he? Anyway 如果用这个例子的话我应该会支持先看电影吧…因为如果不是这个电影我可能对火星都没啥兴趣，not to mention to pick up a book about how to survive on Mars 了，哈哈~
4. Gone Girl 消失的爱人
提到呆萌怎么能不提提他的好基友Ben Affleck呢!两个有颜(至少曾经有颜，sad)又有才的好兄弟自从当时的Good Will Hunting就一直是大众津津乐道的couple。这部Gone Girl如果还没看的童鞋，一定要叫上男朋友或女朋友一起看啊!有助于增强感情。也是同名小说改编的哦。
5. The Revenant 荒野猎人
或者大家可以说说小李子(Leonardo DiCaprio)的这部荒野猎人?反正我是看了电影更不想看小说了，coz it's just too depressing… and some scenes make me feel nauseous…
好了，再更多你们就没耐心了，我知道。
所以今天就到这儿啦。
P.S.
1. 所有电影的简介都可以在imdb.com上去找。你该不会想要在百度找然后自己翻译吧…
2. 可能有同学想写中国电影?那你可以写个那些年我们一起追的女孩 You Are the Apple of My Eye 哈哈哈 这个国民度感觉是高的
3. 作为一名托福教师我想告诉大家的是，考前准备充分是最重要的事情。比如电影素材啊，政治人物啊啥的。别天天关注什么《惊!托福考试出现10年来最大变化!》这样的文章，很醉的。多来北京新东方强化班/精讲精练班上课才是正!经!事!
4. 暂时还没想到。下期见，么么哒~

每年2月14日，是西方传统的圣瓦伦丁节，又称“情人节”。它具有悠久的历史。古罗马 时代的牧神节，就是一个情侣们的节日。是日男女青年可以欢聚一堂。
姑娘们把表达爱情 的祝辞放在签筒里，小伙子依次抽签，抽到哪位姑娘的祝辞，那位姑娘就成为他的恋人。 __兴起，教会对牧神节风俗很不以为然。但由于这个节日受到青年人的偏爱，所 以仍然延续了下来。到公元7世纪，教会领袖希望把这节日同__联系在一起，于是他 们用__殉教者瓦伦丁的名字为这个节日重新命名，并把日期由原来的2月15日改为2月 14日。翻阅早期__殉教史，可以找到三个叫瓦伦丁的殉教者，其中一个是公元3世纪的 主教。
当时罗马皇帝认为已婚男子都不愿离家当兵，即使上了战场也不会成为一个好兵， 因此发布了一道禁止结婚的法令瓦伦丁对此十分忧虑，他违背皇帝的旨意，秘密地为青年 人举行婚礼，因此遭到监禁，于公元271年2刀14日死于狱中.经过几世纪的漫长岁月，瓦伦丁节的庆祝方式发生了不少变化。
在16世纪的英国，瓦 伦丁节的风俗十分奇特有趣。随着新大陆的开发，英国移民又把这一极富有浪漫色彩的节 日带到了北美，逐渐成为美国人喜爱的节日之一。在美国，瓦伦丁节已不仅是青年入的节日。亲人朋友之间，不论年龄大小，都可以互 送小礼品以表达感情，增进友谊。美国有不少商店专门出售这类礼品。如装饰成心形的高 级巧克力糖盒，或者系着红缎带的郁金香花束等。至于各式各样饰有花边、洒上香水的情 人卡，更是比比皆是。 当然，年青人才是瓦伦丁节真正当之无愧的主角。他们在这一天郑重其事地为恋人选 择礼物，兴高采烈地伴同朋友去郊游：或者成双成对地去参加由俱乐部组织的情人舞会。 特别有趣的是，那些心灵手巧的小伙子常常想方设法把向姑娘求爱的瓦伦丁节问候卡制成 玲拢精制的工艺品，有的仿佛是一只美丽的蝴蝶，有的宛若一朵盛开的鲜花：还有的恰似 爱神丘比特正在弯弓射箭。
那些痴情的姑娘则按照传统习俗，在瓦伦丁节前夜把月桂树叶 放在枕头上，盼望着在梦中同自己的心上人相会。 特别引人入胜的是情人节之夜的化装舞会。这在几十年前就十分流行。参加舞会的入 ，个个煞费苦心地将自己装扮起来，有的化装成中世纪的骑士，有的化装成西班牙的海盗 ，还有的化装成东方的皇帝。聪明的舞会主人常常给每位客人发，个带花边的瓦伦丁卡片 ，上面写着某个人的名字，这个人就成为你今晚的伙伴。因此在舞会上，人们便可以看到罗密欧和灰姑娘翩翩起舞;哈姆雷特同卡门谈笑风生;阿拉伯公主同查理二世共进晚餐。 他们化装得那样维妙维肖.使人觉得仿佛真的是一群古人复活了。 瓦伦丁节就是这样一个充满爱情和友谊的欢乐节日.

托福写作参考素材
Skill
The first success factors that you can use to achieve the best life possible is simply skill. Malcolm Gladwell in his book Outliers: The Story of Success cites famous examples such as the Beatles and Bill Gates who spent at least 10,000 hours on their specific craft before achieving expert status. Devoting more time to a specific area will increase the proficiency in field of study. Your level of ability in your field will determine the quality and quantity of your results. The better you get at what you do, the easier it is for you to start moving forward to get a particular level of results. As you increase your skill, through study and experience, you get better and better at doing the small things that increase the speed and predictability of your results.
Contacts
The third success factor for moving forward and achieving the best life is by developing an ever-widening circle of contacts. You will find that every major change in your life is accompanied by a person or persons who either opens or closes doors for you. The possibility of the best life for you will be determined by the number of people who know you and like you and who are willing to help you. In order to broaden your network of contacts, you must network continually, at every opportunity. There seems to be a direct relationship between the number of people you know and how successful you are.
托福独立写作素材：领导特质
托福写作素材:领导特质
What are some important qualities of a good supervisor (boss)? Use specific details and examples to explain why these qualities are important.
托福独立写作范文：
The qualities of a good supervisor are too numerous to name. It also depends on the situation. Supervisors who work in an academic situation may have different qualities from those who work in a business company. Generally speaking, however, all good supervisors must have the qualities of effective communication, fair treatment, and role models.
First, a good supervisor communicates well. A supervisor gives instructions and directions to his or her supervisees as to what work to do and how to do it. Then instructions and directions must be clearly communicated so that they can be followed. If they are not clearly formulated and explained, the supervisees may feel at a loss at why they have to do something and how to do it. (I know of somebody who gets angry easily when his employees fail to follow his instructions. However, he often gives vague instructions and is unwilling to clarify his requirements, which makes it difficult for his supervisees to follow his instructions.) Thus, a good supervisor is effective in communicating his or her instructions and is willing to clarify things for his or her supervisees.
Second, a good supervisor shows fair treatment of employees. The supervisor treats all his or her employees with equal respect and shows no favoritism. Otherwise, some employees may have a sense of unfairness and demonstrate performance less than ideal. Even though the supervisor may have or develop some personal feelings about or personal relationship with an employee, he or she does not let such feelings or relationship affect his or her judgment and treatment of the person. Instead, the supervisor evaluates each employee’s performance against the same set of criteria and rewards or punishes each employee on the basis of objective assessment.
Finally, a good supervisor sets an example for employees. In other words, a good supervisor sets the standards for his or her employees by his or her own behavior. Well goes an English proverb, “Example is better than percept.” A good supervisor must do what he or she requires the subordinates to do. For example, if the supervisor works hard, it is likely that his or her employees will work diligently as well. Likewise, if the supervisor always gets work done on time, the employees must feel pressured to finish work on time, too. Therefore, a good supervisor acts professionally if he or she expects the supervisees to act in a professional way.
In short, the main qualities of a good supervisor are effective communication, fair treatment, and role models. Most supervisors have effective communication skills but sometimes forget fair treatment of employees or fail to set an example for them. Good supervisors should check themselves, every once in a while, to make sure that they are practicing these qualities.
托福写作素材：讨论的好处
Benefits of a discussion
Students react to content, share challenges, teach each other, learn by stating and understanding, clarify assumptions, experiment, own new skills and ideas.
Distance education greatly extends classroom learning
Individualization of learning: Personal responses to forum topics are not limited in time or the length. Students have the freedom to continue dialogues about the topics that interested them most.
Encouragement of critical thinking: Effective forum topics are open-endedand designed to encourage students to take a position on issues. To respond to a forum topic requires organized thought and synthesis of concepts introduced in class. If a student's views were challenged, he or she typically adds carefully considered reasons to back up previous comments.
Student autonomy: Students have the flexibility to reflect on their thoughts and read the responses of others. Many students have stated that they routinely discussed the forum topics with friends, family and colleagues outside of class before putting their comments online.
Increased interaction time: A 45-hour semester places severe limits on the quality of discussions and experiences possible in a course. Often a course is the only one of its type required in a program. The instructor isthus under extreme pressure to provide extensive and meaningful learning. In a three-hour class meeting of an average class size, an equal division of time allots only 5 minutes of discussion per student. Regular forum discussion adds hours of interaction over a semester.
More democratic exchange: In any class of 25-30 students, there will bedominant personalities, and students who may feel intimidated or unmotivated to speak. Therefore discussions, even in small groups, do not allow equal time to all students. In the online forum, each student has a voice that will be heard by anyone who chooses to read his or her comments.
More time to formulate responses and opinions: Because the forum discussions occur completely online, students have the flexibility to add their input when they are prepared. Some choose to answer questions immediately, while others prefer to consider the responses of others first. Undergraduate students are often much more comfortable discussing topics online after reading the viewpoints of the more experienced students. Students are encouraged to revisit past topics during the course, as their opinions changed.
Flexibility and convenience: Students set their own schedule for the forum. A forum is available at all times of day or night to accommodate school, work, and family demands. The forum is accessible from any Internet connection via the World Wide Web, allowing students to participate even when they were sick or traveling.
Students learn about the content from another perspective.
Students experience a professional communication process. Participantsexperience personal and academic gains as result of their communication with their peers. A goal is for the students to value such professional interchange, and seek it out among their colleagues, and for electronic communication to facilitate the process.
Students find a content/expertise resource. Some professions tend to be somewhat isolated. The forum introduces to others who could serve as resources during the course, and into employment.
