 托福考试作为全球性的英语水平考试之一,现在也是有越来越多的小伙伴加入了托福考试的阵营。不过呢,也有一些刚刚入门的小伙伴对于托福考试还不太熟悉,托福考试总共有四个部分,分别是听力、阅读、写作和口语。写作作为其中很重要的一个考试内容,那托福写作考试形式是怎样的,还有一些小伙伴想知道我们一般会在托福写作方面遇到哪些问题。今天口语侠小编就为大家整理了一些有关大家在托福写作方面通常会遇到的问题,希望能够帮助到大家。 

一、托福写作方面通常遇到的问题

结构错误

例:I was able to raise my TOEFL score by studying hard and I read lots of books.

当使用连词将一系列的单词联接起来的时候,应当使用词性相同或同一类型的短语。

写作错误

例:Many companies began using computers mouth.

段落过长,不分段,主语与动词一致问题。

She are a good friend of mine that I has known for a long time.主语和动词在数方面不一致。

句子搭配混乱

We heated the soup in the microwave for too long and the shape of the container changed.

措辞过长或不清。换言之,句子显得滑稽可笑。

过度使用缩写

在正式的写作中不要使用缩写形式(cant,dont,its,well,theyve等等),而应当使用单词的完整形式(cannot,do not,it is,we will,they have等等)。

关联词语重复

Since I want to go to a good school,therefore I am trying to raise my test scores.

不能在该句的主要主语和主要动词前使用连词。

句子写作不完整

Many students have a hard time passing all the tests to get into college. For example,my friend in high school.

句子没有主要主语或主要动词,因为其实它应是一个从句。这是一个非常常见的错误,修改的方法是将两个句子连接起来。

滥用某些词汇

When I got home,I got tired,so I got a book and got into bed.

Get太不正式,意思也过于含糊,不适合用在正式的场合。应将get改为一个更加具体的单词,如become,receive,find,achieve,等等。

书写模糊表达不清

I would like to study in America because all modern technology originated there.

传的信息不正确,或者让人听起来觉得可能不正确(如果确实是正确的,应当解释为什么这样,因为读者不认为是正确的)。

上述例句中,all的意思是百分之百;我们不能绝对地说每一件新东西都是从美国诞生的。为保险起见,应当使用many或most.非英语单词Computers are very helpful and advantageable. 尽管看起来象个单词,其实不是,至少不是个英文单词。使用这个单词的另一种形式。

二、托福写作备考时遇到这些问题怎么破

无话可说:

有些同学一说到举例子就只能绞尽脑汁编:“想当初,我当年,怎样怎样后导致了怎样怎样,所以我认为怎样怎样才。”遇到某些实在扯不到自己身上的就只能蒙圈儿来会来去的因为所以。

事实上,这个Forexample并不一定需要这么具体的例子。给出一种情形假设并告知这个情形下后果的也是示例的一种,并且也能够清晰有力的支撑你的观点。

另外就是要增强自己的发散性思维,比如就拿前面的“极简”来说,你可能从服装穿搭、收纳整理看到它,但是它背后的价值观和道理其实可以适用于写作、时间规划、交互设计、音乐创作呈现等等方面。

所以不要被题目给的范围限定住思路的范围,很多东西的边界是可以打破的,而你平时的做题、阅读哪怕是看新闻、娱乐节目、电影电视剧都可以作为你素材积累的来源,从而服务于你的写作。

以上是写不出来的,还有一些同学是写出来写high过头的,那么面对这种该如何避免呢?

写跑题:

解题要在点儿上

一般来说,大家在知道按照总分总写法后,大体的逻辑和结构是过得去的。不过在细节上就可能存在着一些问题。

仔细阅读题目,看看最终让你说的是哪个点,不要问的“是否支持”结果写成“这样好不好”。在看清题目后列出你的观点和分论点的提纲,得出整体文章框架后再发散思维补充细节。

自相矛盾了、写high了就写歪了

这两个都是在举例中容易出现的,偏离了你提出的论点。一方面我们在写作中要时刻记得自己刚才说了什么、整体说的是什么论点,另一方面还要注意平时多看书看报积累素材,别因为凑论据而导致上述悲剧的发生。

语法错误、用词不准等问题:

1.不要一味追求词汇丰富而瞎替换

没有合适的替换词的时候也要注意,不要贸然瞎替换。换的意思一样还好说,如果表达的不是同质性事物就非常的尴尬了。

2.不要盲目使用词汇

词汇最重要的是表达准确。看戴望舒用了彳亍觉得高端洋气上档次,写你奔走在校园的小路上也来个行,不是一个意思也非常不搭。看看一些演讲和一些写得非常好的原文书,其实里面并没有用太多“高难度”词汇,而是用最朴实的语言写出美的句子。

Time is a bird forever on the wing.——T.W.Robertson时间是一只永远在飞翔的鸟。

三、托福写作技巧

综合写作的技巧如下

边看边记

托福考试中,会要求阅读一篇学术论文作为考试的前提。在这一部分,阅读一篇250到300个单词的学术文章,并在短时间内对阅读段落的要点做笔记。下面是阅读段落时应该记住的关键信息。

例:

It is common knowledge that forecasting is an attempt by meteorologists to determine what weather will be like in the future. Hindcasting is the opposite of forecasting, an attempt to determine what weather was like in the past. Meteorologists wish that records of weather had been kept in full for at least a few millennia, but it has been only in the last century that detailed records of the weather have been kept. Thus, meteorologists need to hindcast the weather, and they do so by using all sorts of information from other fields as diverse as archeology, botany, geology, literature, and art. These pieces of information from other fields that are used as a basis for drawing conclusions about what the weather must have been like at some point in the past are called proxies.

阅读时对主题和要点做笔记:

Topic of Listening Passage:

hindcasting

Main points about hindcasting:

detailed weather records kept for less than a century

proxies used to hindcast weather

边听边记

这一部分会听一篇1到2分钟学术文章,在听的过程中对要点进行记录。

例:

:Now let me talk about how hindcasting was used in one particular situation. This situation has to do with the weather in seventeenth-century Holland. It appears, from proxies in paintings from the time by numerous artists, that the weather in Holland in the seventeenth century was much colder than it is today. Seventeenth-century paintings show really cold winter landscapes with huge snow drifts and ice skaters skating on frozen canals. Since it's unusual today for snow to drift as high as it is in the paintings and for the canals to freeze over so that skaters can skate across them as they are in the paintings, these paintings appear to serve as proxies that demonstrate that the weather when the paintings were created in the seventeenth century was much colder than it is today.

笔记:

Topic of Listening Passage: paintings that are proxies showing weather in 17th-century Holland colder than today

Details:in 17th-century paintings showing colder weather :

- huge snow drifts higher than today's drifts

- on canals that are not frozen today

写作前规划

拿到一个作文题目记得进行头脑风暴:能写些什么?对这个话题有什么看法?有哪些个人经验?有没有了解的专业知识或者新闻?

例:

Question:

How does the information in the listening passage about the weather in seventeenth-century Holland shed light on the information on hindcasting in the reading passage?

Reading Passage= A technique used by meteorologists

Topic Of Reading Passage:hindcasting

Main points about hindcasting:

- detailed weather records kept for less than a century

- proxies used to hindcast weather

Listening Passage= An example of the technique

Topic of listening passage:paintings that are proxies showing weather in 17th-century Holland colder than today

Details in 17th-century paintings showing colder weather:

- huge snow drifts higher than today's drifts

- skaters on canals that are not frozen today

主题陈述

‍‍‍‍‍Look at this information from the integrated writing task on hindcasting and the weather in seventeenth-century Holland.

Reading Passage= a technique used by meteorologists

Topic of listening passage:hindcasting

Listening Passage= an example of the technique

Topic of listening passage:paintings that are proxies showing weather in 17th-century Holland colder than today‍‍‍‍

段落辅助

在开始写作之前先研究笔记,在写的时候要考虑段落辅助,去介绍每一段的中心思想,并且有足够的细节去支撑中心的成立。

Topic of listening passage:hindcasting

main points about hindcasting:

detailed weather records kept for less than a century

proxies used to hindcast weather

The reading passage discusses the technique‍of hindcasting, which is a method used by meteorologists to try to determine what the weather ‍match‍was like in the past. One point that is made about this meteorological metho is that detailed‍‍match‍‍weather records have not been kept for long. As a result, meteorologists have had to find another way to determine what the weather was like in the past. They developed a method of hindcasting using proxies, which are pieces of information from other fields.

分类练习

ETS发布的作文主题就足够练习,不需额外找题目做。对于官方给出的作文题目合集,小伙伴们可以按照文章类别、题目类型等方式分类练习。

写作时最怕跑题,如果材料中有不熟悉的单词,尽量通过上下文猜测含义,而不是写一些与主题无关的句子,擦边球会降低你的分数。隔一段时间重写某一主题,能够更好的分析出进步和不足,强化练习。

检查细节

最后,即使是母语为英语的人,写一篇文章也会无可避免的出现错误,更何况是用电脑输入的我们。所以在保存之前检查语法和单词是对高分最后的挣扎,细节就是分数!如果能给其他人——尤其是母语是英语的朋友来看你的文章,除了修正你忽视的错误,能够学到更高级和地道的表达也是很赚了。

以上内容是小编为大家介绍的有关托福口语写作中大家会遇到的问题,这些问题呢是大家很容易犯的,大家一定要仔细的看一下看看有没有自己经常会出现的问题,如果你有在平常的练习中要多加注意,尽量改正这些问题,这样更有利于我们提高托福写作考试的分数。
