第二篇：托福獨立寫作作文修改

獨立5-現象證明P21 2010.10.31NA Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People are now easier to become educated than in the past.Education is the foundation of a country.People today have a stronger concept（搭配不當，改為sense）of being educated than in the past.I agree with the statement that people gain an easier access to all kinds of educations at current times.Firstly, there are much more schools available today than in the past.No matter where you live, in big cities or in the countryside, the local government spends a large amount of money on the constructions of various types of schools, such as primary schools, middle schools, high schools and even schools for adults.More and more universities and colleges have been built to ensure higher education for top students.If you want to study in schools, you will always find a proper one to attend.Secondly, the teaching approach diversifies（there are diversified teaching approaches）.Except for（In addition to包括在內）blackboard and chalks, many advanced teaching devices are being used today in most schools, including computers, multi-media and some other instruments.Moreover, labs and libraries have also come into use for students to study deeper and wider(who want to make a deeper and wider study on the fields they are interested in).What is more, the teachers' teaching levels are greatly improved by communicating with other educators from all over the world.The technology becomes more developed than in the past, so it is easier now to study.Thirdly, people have equal rights to receive education.As we all know, people in the past were in terrible discrimination because of their sex and race(many people such as women and the black people were denied the right to education because they were discriminated against in the society because of their sex and race.兩句合起來)For example, women and black people were used to be considered as people in lower classes or even slaves and weren't allowed to go to school.However, they have equal rights to study in schools nowadays.（要回到主題，和更容易接受教育要直接聯系起來，所以再加一句）Obviously, these people surly have easier access to education.To sum up, almost everyone today has equal rights to go to all kinds of schools with diversified teaching approaches.So people do have an easier way to receive education now than in past times.The reasons above firmly support my opinion(最后一句話不夠有力，可以將三點簡明扼要的用一句話概括).(Word Count: 294)獨立8-包含因果關系P15 2010.3.20NA Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People today can solve many important problems so they do not need help from the government.With the development of the society, people can do more things by themselves nowadays（于什么時候比較？）than in the past.But I disagree with the statement that people can solve many important problems, therefore the government does not need to help them（therefore they need not depend on the government for any support）.There(are)three reasons as follows:

Firstly, People today still cannot solve many important problems by themselves in fact in terms of education, unemployment, war, starvation, poverty and so on.These are international problems all over the world, so a single person or even a group of people may not have the abilities to solve(be capable of solving)them.For example, if a man wants to stop a war between two countries, even he is powerful or wealthy, he(he, however wealthy and powerful,)cannot prevent them from fighting with each other without the help of others.Secondly, people today need more help from the government.As the life standards are getting higher, people have more requirements than before.They ask for all kinds of utilities for entertainment or exercise in public places.They need various insurance to make their lives more comfortable.They also require more schools and hospitals to take care of the young people and patients(the sick).Thirdly, whether people today can solve many problems or not has nothing to do with whether they need the government's help.It is the responsibility of the government to help people.The government must give people help no matter how powerful they are.In a word, the statement that people today do not need help from the government because they can solve many important problems is wrong.The reasons above can firmly support my idea.(260w)

獨立1-包含should, important, necessary的簡單話題

P75 2009.5.30 Younger school children(aged between five and ten)should be required to study art and music in addition to math, science, history and language.In order to broaden the horizon of younger school children, it is suggested that they should study art and music as well as other common courses.I agree with it because of the following reasons.First of all, art and music can help students to relax.Campus life is stressful even for younger children who aged between five and ten, with all kinds of homework and assignments.However, by having music and art classes, students can get a much-needed escape from the heavy work.It can help them to relax their mind and study more efficiently in other classes.Second, music and art classes help improve students' interpersonal relationships.Students will meet together to talk about a same topic if they have common interests.For example, students attending art classes can talk about the masterpiece or life story of a famous painter.Students having music classes will enjoy the beautiful melody or sing songs together.By communicating with each other, they will build a strong friendship and learn how to behave in various situations.Third, music and art classes provide students with plenty of information about great artists and their works.By learning knowledge in artistic fields students can acquire different cultures from different countries.The artists and musicians describe what they see or hear in their works, showing feelings meanwhile, which bring the students the atmosphere at that time.To sum up, art and music classes should be taken by younger school students to broaden their horizon.(248w)

獨立2-包含比較(better, prefer)的簡單話題

P24 2010.10.9NA Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People can take care of their family members better when they live in big cities than in the countryside.No matter where people live, in big cities or in the countryside, they must take care of their family members.Basically I prefer the former one.Living in big cities has more advantages than living in the countryside.Firstly, for old people, living in big cities can be convenient.There are a large number of hospitals which are available to all kinds of diseases.When the old people catch a cold, have a fever or even heart attack, they could be taken to the best hospital nearby and received treat in time and recover as soon as possible.But in the countryside, situations in hospitals are obviously terrible.Secondly, children should receive good education, so living in big cities is a wise choice.Schools in big cities which get finance support from(the)government provide sufficient teaching facilities for the students in order that the students can study more easily and do more experiments.Moreover, the teaching levels of the teachers in big cities are higher on average than that of the teachers in the countryside.Admittedly, Living in big cities may have a few downsides.For example, the air may be not as fresh as it in the countryside and the noise may make people crazy sometimes.However,(the)government is taking measures to prevent the pollutions and people are also becoming aware of the importance of environmental protection.It is sure that the problems can be solved in the future.In a word, people can take care of their family members much better when they live in big cities than in the countryside, because advanced society welfares are everywhere in big cities.（Word Count: 272）

獨立7-包含絕對詞（never, always, only ,no longer,最高級等）.P92 2007.8.4 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Printed books will no longer exist.With the development of technology, digital books are increasingly coming into use while printed book are less used in our lives.It has been argued that printed books will no longer exist in the future.I disagree(with this opinion)although the statement has a grain of truth.First of all, admittedly, digital books have some advantages over printed books.First, it is cheaper to download a digital version from the internet than to buy a hardcover printed book.You may download Harry Potter for only half the price of the paper version.Second, the digital book is very convenient for us to carry because it is much lighter than the printed book.We can download thousands of articles into our mp4 or electronic books to read them everywhere instead of carrying several heavy books.However, to say that printed books will disappear from our lives in the future is unacceptable.First, hardcover printed books are worth collecting.They are usually very valuable with their beautiful covers and plentiful contents.Second, the printed books made by(of)papers are good for people's eyes.If we stare at a digital book all the time, our eyes will be tired or even hurt.Reading for a long period may do enormous harms to people's health, especially to children.Third, printed books are of great importance in some special ceremonies.They are usually the symbols of holy things.It is ridiculous for a minister to read with a digital book in a church.To sum up, although the digital books are more and more useful, it is sure that printed books will exist forever.(267)

第三篇：托福綜合獨立寫作提綱

Many students choose to attend schools or universities outside their home countries.Why do some students study abroad?

1, first of all, students want to absorb advanced knowledge

1.1 America owns many famous universities all over the world, which attract most overseas students to come.1.2 students in some developing countries,such as China, Indina, decide to study abroad.For example,(In china, a research shows that more and more students decide to study abroad for further education rather than receive education in the native college)

2.1 studying abroad provides people more chances to have access to different cultures and scenes For example, different scenes,such as()can make people more enjoyable;

different cultures can give people flesh feeling

3, In addition, students do not like the education system in native country

m, it may not be suitable to every students

3.2 some students choose to study abroad to find a more benefiting system

For example, my roomate donnot like the grade-depend system in my country…..Playing computer games is a waste of time.Children should not be allowed to play them.1,First of all, playing computer games really took up lots of times of children.1.1 with the development of technoloy, computer has become more and more popular.1.2 lots of childrens obessed in the computer games

One research shows that people who like playing computer games in childish do a better in their future career than people who kept away from the computer games in the childish.In general, as parents or teachers, we should not restrict children to play computer games.We can control the time children spend on the computer games to make sure the computer games will not affect their academic performance.Some people think that human needs for farmland, housing, and industry are more important than saving land for endangered animals.Do you agree or disagree with this point of view.1, First of all, with the increasing of world population, human need lots of land for farmland, housing and industry.Especially in the developing countries, the pursuit of more profits lead people to exploit more and more land for human using.For example, in China, …

第四篇：托福 TPO31獨立寫作

托福 TPO31獨立寫作題目

Question: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Because the world is changing so quickly, people now are less happy or less satisfied with their lives than people were in the past.Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.托福 TPO31 獨立寫作范文 ：

In modern society, there is no denying that our paces speed up.A small proportion of people who cannot keep up with this trend or resist the world for the fittest, may hold a viewpoint that a mutable society leads people to less satisfaction and mitigation of sense of happiness since such a world might cause the alienation between good fellows and contamination of our environment;however, in my view, it is not the case.As a matter of fact, in a world changing more rapidly, people tend to become satisfied much more easily.First illustration which can demonstrate my opinion can be the trail of technological development.In the past five decades, millions of new inventions had appeared, entering our daily life, making it much more convenient.To name a good example, in 1896,Benz assembled the first three-wheel car in the world.Though it brought accidents and mortality to the world, we cannot deny the enjoyment of ferocious speed brought by cars, which made our jaunt convenient.We can simply drop by a old friend 100 miles, a distance taking at least half day before, away in one hour.Another good instance is the invention of smart phone.in 1972, Martin, the chief engineer in Moto devised the first portable telephone.Then, this innovation revolutionized out life.Just simply imagine what our life looked like without cell phones: people could not keep contact with their friends and exigent messages might be blocked.Then in 2007, Steve Jobs brought iPhone with Facetime to the world.The most significant aspect of Facetime is that this app allows us to communicate with actual image, not just voices.Then, how can we state that modern society steals the sense of fraternity among people? Second demonstration which can help me develop my view that a rapidly changing society makes people more satisfied is the use of new energy resources.We may still remember the Great Smog, one of the gravest air pollution accidents in our history due to the heavily gathered inversion layer of sulfur dioxide originated with burning of coal in 1950s, London.People died of respiratory diseases after inhalation of poisonous air.How can they live happily in a world brimmed with pollutions? But nowadays, we have developed new energy resources to tackle this problem such as hydropower and wind power.To name an example, in 2007, nuclear power plants generate 14% of the total electricity of the US, thus saving tons of coals and reducing the level of inhalable particles.Recently, governments and organizations have taken measures to support researches of renewable resources and to find substitutes for fossil fuels.Natural reserves and sanctuaries are established, places of interest and spots are refurbished, and factories and manufacturers with pestilent exhaust are shut down.People therefore are provided with much more opportunities to relax by enjoying the beauty of nature.To draw a conclusion, in a world that is rapidly changing, we are offered a variety of brand-new experiences and highly evolved products, which make life much easier than before.We are in a world filled with convenience brought by high technologies that develop so fast.Then, how can we blame on the changing world while enjoying happiness and satisfactions originated from them?

三．185 題庫的處理

壓縮題庫：TWE 寫作的準備是系統工程，考驗資源整合能力。

1、相關題目歸類整理材料，整合論點。㈠86→89→90→91；

㈡6→52→141（因此52 選擇why 而不是how）→165evironment 例：

52.What change would make your hometown more appealing to people your age? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.Among diverse aspects that I want to change about my hometown is its environment.→（why & how？此處選why）

①A good environment will make people happier.（100 words）②A nice environment will make people healthier.（100 words）

③A perfect environment will make people more productive.（100 words）

Topic Sentence：TS, the improvement of which will make people happier, healthier, and even moreproductive.（主題句應當盡量暗示文章未來結構）㈢36→70 例：

70.Some people think that the automobile has improved modern life.Others think that the automobile has caused serious problems.What is your opinion? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.主題句應當值得解釋、值得證明，故：

①汽車之類現代交通工具使市場上商品數量增多，方便流通； ②使商品價格降低；（運輸成本降低，同種商品種類增加、競爭加劇）③甚至，汽車交通工具對我國婦女地位獨立有很大幫助。最初想到：convenient & efficient，不值得解釋、證明； 進一步問：so what？→人們活動范圍增加，但仍不夠； 進一步問：so what？→商品的活動范圍增加→商品數量增加 因此，多想幾步即可得到有效結論。

㈣15→18→46→179→93→62→103，基于ETS 出題的人群普適性和文化普適性。① To be a good _____ , one should have the intelligence.happier, healthier, ②To be a good _____ , one should be humor.more productive ③To be a good _____ , one should be reliable.理由、例子、思路的反復運用。

2、一些用母語都難寫的題目的處理。

（1）最好不要同意的。往往是一些絕對的立場，觀點要從絕對詞出發。選反對或中間模式。例： 37.Do you agree or disagree that progress is always good? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.本例選中間模式，組織采有力模式III。方法是修正部分絕對化的表達和詞匯。①It’s true that progress is usually good.如交通、溝通、書寫工具。②However, it’s hardly true that progress is always good.③In fact, progress in itself is nether good or bad.技術的運用在人不再技術本身。例：

53.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The most importantaspect of a job is the money a person earns.Use specific reasons and examples 不能同意。絕對詞：the most important。其他重要原因如stability。例：

54.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? One should neverjudge a person by external appearances.Use specific reasons and details tosupport your answer.①確實有時會犯錯；

②但有時也確實可以根據外表得到信息，如判斷誠信； ③甚至，有時必須通過外表判斷一個人。（2）最好同意的。

沒有絕對詞，而且往往還有想關限定詞。例：

27.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People shouldsometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing.Use specific reasons andexamples to support your answer.兩種分類：喜歡的/不喜歡的；有益成功的/無益成功的。需要做不喜歡但有益成功的。另外的例子還有63、42 題等。（3）只能反對的。

主要有第8、88、119、120 題。

分析方法：How come they have such an opinion? 即A→B 的因果關系是否過分簡單化？ ①A 不見得是B 的理由； ②A 不見得是B 的唯一理由； ② A 不見得是B 最重要的理由。例：

8.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television hasdestroyed communication among friends and family.Use specific reasons andexamples to support your opinion.It’s true that people attend to spend lots ① of time in watching television.②It’s also true that people spend less time in communication.③However, it’s hardly true that television destroyed people’s communication.④再寫一個真正的理由，如工作壓力、經濟壓力等： It’s working stress rather than television… 例：

88.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Telephones and emailhave made communication between people less personal.Use specific reasonsand examples to support your opinion.Personal 有兩種理解：①親密；②個性化。只要前后理解一貫即可。

相比第8 題，可以忽略前3 點而擴張第4 點，如溝通成本的降低。例：

大家最熟悉的當然是 “for example” 和 “for instance” 了。這兩個表達 法后面可以接名詞性成分或者句子。還可以說 “take … for example”，比 如： “Let's take an extreme case for example.…” 用來修飾 “example” 的形容詞很多，應該熟練掌握：

characteristic;classic;prime;representative;typical | excellent;fine;good;impressive;magnificent;outstanding;perfect;superb;wonderful | fascinating;interesting;intriguing;notable;remarkable;striking;graphic;vivid;dramatic;extreme;spectacular;clear;obvious;simple;straightforward;blatant;flagrant;glaring | familiar;famous;well-known;notorious;common;rare;much-quoted;oft-quoted;often-quoted | illustrative;helpful;illuminating;instructive;useful;practical | concrete;hypothetical 這里面要是你有哪個詞不認識，那就一定要背下來，然后寫作文的時候用上，這樣你就用了一些―別人可能不用的詞匯‖，顯得稍微superior 了一點。能夠對 “example” 發出的動作有 : give;provide;contain;include;cite;draw;take(sth.a s);f i n d。而 “example” 能夠發出的動作有 : abound;demonstrate;illustrate;show 等等。

也可以直接讓― 例子‖ 發出動作，比如這樣的情況： The behavior ofMeerkats giving alarm calls clearly/well exemplifies the existence ofaltruism.有很多個例子的時候，用這樣的表達法： “A, B, C, and so on.” 或者 “A, B, C, and etc..”如果是口語表達，比較常用的有“..., and something like that.”或者“...a n d s t u f f l ike that.” 有的時候，你可能在舉了很多個例子之后想說―...就更不用提了。‖ 或 者― 更不消說… … ‖，那用的表達法是：“ not to men t i o n...” 或者 “let alone...”。

舉例子的時候，可以先舉幾個例子然后再概括一下；或者反過來，先概括 之后列舉幾個實例。所使用的結構分別是： “A such(B)as X, Y and Z” ； 或者 “X, Y, Z, and other A”。例如：

History, philosophy, fundamental mathematics, and other abstractsubjects can be learnt mainly from books.Some subjects, such abstract ones as history, philosophy, andfundamental mathematics, can be learnt mainly from books.有的時候，舉例子可能需要做出限定或者指定，那可以用 “as” 這個詞，例如：“ A narrow, confining room, as in a prison or convent, wouldmake anyone nuts.” 能夠用豐富的例子說明問題其實是一種能力，關鍵在于平時的刻意積累。如果你有能力舉出很多例子，那就需要這樣的句型： Examples abound in history/our daily life that… Examples /instances are countless/innumerable/numerous Stories abound of alcoho l i c s who flush their daily pill down the t o i l e t or “cheek” it, only to dispose of it later.Similar examples of “nuptial gifts” abound throughout the anima l world.History/Our daily life/This world abounds in examples which demonstrate… The list will go on.The list would be endless if we try to make an inventory of such examples.The litany of drug damage goes on and on.The list of profit-making, instinct-exploiting products is long.Self-image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious, shy, aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant, to name only a few personality traits.如果你舉的例子非常經典，又顯而易見，不妨使用這個句型： Remember that...（相當于― 記得… … 吧？ ‖）

If we want to predict how aggressively a man will guard his wife, we need look no further than age.（… 想想 / 看看就可以了）Success requires a tenacious spirit and a drive to achieve.Nowhere is this more apparent in the entertainment business.Thousands of actors and actresses work tenaciously to have a career in the movies.But without beauty or talent, tenacity i s n ' t always rewarded, and only a few become stars.用最近發生的事情做例子：

An instance occurred recently in which…

如果舉的例子是― 軼事‖、― 傳說‖、― 某個學說‖ 之類的，那可以用這 樣的句型： Legend/Gossip/Rumor/Words/A theory/A saying has it that...;As story goes:...;That's how the story goes.;或者Story goes...(g o e s 后面接完整的句子。例如： Story Goes Viral Alex Jones appears on CNN, poll says three-quarters plus support Sheen.)有的時候要用一些想象出來的例子說明問題，那用這些詞開頭： Consider;Imagine;Suppose;Say;Assume;或者在這些詞后面直接 加上一個賓語或者一個賓語從句，比如 “Imagine a person who is worrying about his future.” 或者 “Suppose a person is worrying about his future.” 這樣想象出來的 case，還可以用 sometimes , in some cases, in some specific cases 開頭開始講述。也可以用條件句型，“If…, ….” 或 者 “When…, ….” 以及，There are many cases in which…（有些情況 下… …）； There are moments when …（有些時候… …）；We all have met the cases in which…（我們都會遇到… … 的情況）； We all have moments when…（有些時候我們都會… …）… …
