30分作文賞析:
1)Does modern technology help students learn more information and learn it more quickly? Marvelous as it looks at first sight, modern technology does not help students learn information at a greater speed and with higher efficiency in most cases;or it could work towards the opposite direction which led students to lose their initiative to learn and explore.First of all, one property of modern technology is latently harmful to any learning mind – it distracts.One thing we feel about when we are searching for information online is that the internet, as an outstanding example of modern technology and even regarded as the innovator of education, provides us with not only relevant results to make use of, but also external links to click.More than once I turned on my computer to check school library for resources, but ended up watching Youtube videos.In this case, computer as a representative of modern technology plays a negative role in learning information.We do acquire more information with the convenient tool, yet most of them are irrelevant and in the end procrastinating would lower our learning.Also, students would easily become disoriented in the huge sea of information.Although modern technology could equip us with easy access to information, the huge amount of resources would actually leave us discombobulated.Therefore, it is only we possess information more quickly rather than we learn it more quickly.An illustrating example is my experience with a HK digital library which stores almost all the books I desire.At first I enjoyed downloading them from the database, however, one month later I ended up with hundreds of books stored in my hardware yet none of them finished or ever clicked.Furthermore, modern technology gives students an illusion that information and real knowledge is easy to learn – just by clicking mouse or watching videos.But in fact this forms only the first step towards useful information and effective learning, as learning of any kind requires full concentration and interactive thinking, which are almost absent in the pocess of popular e-learning experience.To summarize, modern technology does not help students learn more information and learn it more quickly, though it does make access to information and resources much more easily.The popular e-learning still lacks the concentration, depth, and interaction that are the hallmark of traditional ways of educating and learning.2)我們生活的時代比父輩們年輕時生活的時代更好還是更壞?
It seems that people always have a desire to compare: am I prettier than others? Are we living in a better age? Or, as the question goes, is our life easier and more enjoyable than it was several decades ago? I would say no, as I have witnessed the struggle and paradox of our generation.First of all, we are now living in an age of revolution with no previous human experience that could be referred to.Living in such a fast-changing world would not be easy and comfortable at all;with everything keeps changing, everyone has to move fast in order to catch up with the majority.However, people were much more stable and care-free when our grandparents were children;they did not have to learn a second language in order to get a better job, or read a lot in order to get informed.Yet in our age, these are supposed to be the responsibility of young people.Another discomfort of our age is that we are experiencing interpersonal alienation.With the development of communication technology, people in fact become alienated with friends and relatives since they could be so easily accessed via phone or email.Too often we feel that few of our friends are true friends, without the traditional feeling of mutual affection which could only be created by longtime apart.But several decades ago, people treasured their friends and maintained relatively close interpersonal relations, which is much more enjoyable than the estrangements we are experiencing.The last factor that has made our age so uncomfortable is the abusive use of technology.Although it brings much convenience, it essentially changes human – we are no longer the master of tools, but instead the slaves of devices.We rush to metro station in order to catch an early train, sit in front of radioactive computers all day long in order to get our work done, and stay in air-conditioned rooms all summer without experiencing the natural changes outside thick cement walls.Several decades ago, people could still live closer to nature and make rational use of modern technology, which to me is the essence of human living experience.However, the comparison between different times is itself ridiculous.The criteria could not be easily determined, and opinions are highly personal.Anyway, we have a longer life span, more advanced medical facilities, and easier traffic than our grandparent when they were children, and we should treasure the present experience.Imagination of the past might only be nostalgia – if I ask my grandparents the same question, they might as well say that our life is much better than the past generations.Who knows? As long as the world is still peaceful, life at any time would not become too difficult to handle.3)Most advertisements make products much better than they really are.I strongly agree to the statement that most advertisements makes the products presented much better than they really are, and points below supports my idea.An essential reason concerns the nature of advertising – advertisers, in most cases, would only make products seem better than they really are, not the other way around.Since the ultimate aim of advertising is to persuade people into buying something, and people would natually be attracted by something that is desirable rather than repellent, advertisements are certainly made to display a more attractive image of products.Therefore, customers would first be graviated towards the virtual product that is somewhat dishonestly pictured by advertisers, then desire to own it, and eventually purchase it.In this way, the desire of consumers is satisfied, the purpose of production achieved, and the advertising process completed.But the norm that a “good” product is advertised as a “better” one is often challenged or even reversed – that is, unscrupulous businessmen make use of advertising to sell inferior products, which raises a moral question.For example, my mother was once attracted by a commercial of a encyclopedia which was claimed to be the one and only complete version of several ancient Chinese documents.She rushed to the shop and bought this “limited version” at a eye-popping price, and regarded it as one of the most precious things in our house.However, a few months later she found the same version was sold in bulk at another shop at an unbelievably low price, which annoyed her for quite a long time.We can learn from the experience that we should not always trust the advertisements that are apparently exaggerating products, and keep alert in the swarm of television commercials.However, the notion that “advertisement always make us disappointed” sometimes results from consumers’ unrealistic expectation of products.Advertising easily makes people to imagine “perfect” products which are not realistic at all, but consumers would rather keep this unreasonable hope.Then they would be inevitably disappointed by the actual products which cannot be so perfect, and attribute the cause to advertising.But it is actually the unrealistic expectation that eclipses any product, because a perfect image is absolutely subjective and could not even be realized.For example, I once signed up for a group tour toLantaoIslandinHong Kong, being attracted by the beautiful landscape pictures posted in the advertisements.But later on in the journey I was disappointed because actual scenery was never as attractive as what I had expected to see.Therefore, an unrealistic expectation is to be avoided in making any buying decision.In conclusion, advertisements do make products seem much better than they really are, as a result of commercial propaganda and our unrealistic hope imposed on products.A better solution would be that both consumers and sellers keep a more realistic point of view, and avoid unreasonable selling or buying behavior.4)Does technology make children less creative than in the past? Are our kids becoming lazier and less creative, less imaginable than before as a consequence of highly advanced technology? My answer is no, and just the opposite, technology has apparently assisted our kids to become more creative.First and foremost, technology has provided children with easy access to scientific and liberal art resources which is their best source of inspiration.For example, children could now easily gain access to academic databases through iPad screen, read classical works on Kindle, or watch historic documents on Internet.These great works are essentially helpful to arousing their curiosity and prepares them with key knowledge necessary for any creation.However, these wonderful equipments and facilities are never as handy in the past, when kids could only reach limited resources in public libraries or schools.In this sense, technology has provided the possibility for children to be more creative.Second, technology has equipped children with professional apparatus which could finally realize their imagination.This takes form particularly as computer softwares and applications, such as Photoshop for creative graphic design, Overture for easily composing a piece of music, 3DMax for building up a virtual world, etc..All the software were never as handy as they are at present, and this would absolutely provides our children an effective tool for realizing their creativity.Third, technology itself is a market place where creative ideas are economically encouraged.Steve Jobs earned millions of dollars a year for his unparallel creation, and Mark Zuckberg gained his reputation for the genius social network.Therefore, technology has provided children the internal motive to develop their creativity.However, it is undeniable that technology might make children become lazier and be comfortable with what is already available because everything are so convenient nowadays and there seems to be no way to improve them.Children lost in pc games or blindly pursuing every single piece of tech apparatus is a relevant example.Thus, it is always necessary to keep children’s mind active in the marvelous world of technology.In a nutshell, I still regard children as becoming increasingly creative in technology development, although it might bring minor side effect.As along as we keep a balanced mood on children enjoying the fruit of technology, they are sure to contribute more to innovation than in the past.5)Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The teachers should be paid according to how well the students perform.Teachers should in part be responsible of the students’ school performance, yet I disagree to the statement that the teachers should be paid according to the students’ performance on several grounds.The statement itself underlies a serious mistake – the very purpose of teaching and schooling, and education on a bigger scale, is better performance of all students.Common sense informs me that education, and teachers’ responsibility in particular, should be intended to building up students’ confidence in exploring and discovering unknown respects as well as specific skills required to accomplish that.Such standard is often broad and abstract in contrast to the narrowness and rigidity of the criterion – students’ performance.If teachers’ salary is determined by the students’ performance, this hint would destroy the long-term function of schooling and education since the system is short-sightedly targeted at improving students’ performance.Another thing to be worried about the statement is that, if actually carried out, both teachers and students would be cast into the irrational pursuit for performance thus results in serious problems.For example, a teacher evaluated in this way is immediately forced to make the decision: to push her class toward the best performance or at least better than the worst-performing class, and show preference to students who perform well.Such measures might be incentives for a better grade, but the teacher and the students would lose their original motivation in schooling as performance becomes the one and only purpose.Also, consequent competition among students would place heavy pressure on every student, and the ones who do not perform well would be neglected by the teacher and fall into upset.Considering all the disastrous effect such measure could incur, it is obvious that teachers should not be paid on the basis of students’ performance.A more realistic and rational criterion to value teachers’ work(and therefore decide their salary)should include factors such as comprehensive developments of students, teachers’ own capacity to cultivate and educate, and parents’ feedback.Yet my disagreement does not suggest that students’ performance should be abandoned but rather included along with other indispensable factors in evaluating teachers’ work, since school report is still among most parents’ top concerns and students have to use it as anchor when applying for further studies.Also, it is reasonable that teachers who can enhance students’ performance should be paid better, as the measure would moderately motivate teachers to work hard.In a nutshell, I object to the idea that the teachers should be paid on the basis of the students’ performance, but should instead be evaluated on a medley of comprehensive quatatives which agrees with the purpose of education and schooling as well as encourages their effort toward more satisfying learning experience.
第二篇:托福作文
I disagree that people now can better protect the environment than they could in the past.As technology develops, in order to satisfy the increasing population’s demand of natural products, people do harm on environment through creating pollutions, cutting down trees and hunting animals.Although people gradually realize the significance of protecting the environment they are living in, the damages they’ve done is hard to recover.Firstly, the number of pollutions from transportations and factories is growing in a high rate.When time goes by, people become richer and are also able to buy more high-technology products such as cars.Like other products, cars can provide convenience and can help people save their time, so most people want to use them.In this way, factories need to manufacture a great number of products in order to reach the need and make more money although they know that it will truly bring pollutions to the air and water when some machines work.Even if they do try to reduce the pollutions, the environment is still getting worse and worse.Just like the reason why more and more high-technology products are produced, the number of trees that are cut down is also increasing quickly.There are so many things that need trees—napkins, furniture , books and so on that people have to keep cutting down trees.Certainly, people know how significant it is to have trees in the nature, so they grow trees as long as they cut them down and make them in to notebooks.But unfortunately, the speed people grow new trees will never catch up the speed they cut down trees, so the trees could only become less and less.As we all know, trees play a important role in keeping the nature environment balance and absorb the CO2 in the air, so the decrease of trees has a bad influence on the environment.Finally, hunting the animals in the wild will obviously destroy the environment.Although animals in the wild are protected by the government and it is forbidden to hunt or kill them, there are still some people who want to hunt the animals and eat or do research on them.For example, some people in Guangdong like to eat the brain of monkey, and they hunt monkey in the case of law forbid.Such things will influence the food chain and the balance of ecological and then ruin the environment.Although people now have more advanced ways to protect the environment, the harm they do is still hard to restore.So people could not protect the environment better than they did before.
第三篇:托福作文
摸班1:
Recently there is a debate over whether high school should require students to wear school uniforms.Some people assert that high school should permit students to decide what to wear in school, while other people believe that students should be only allowed to wear school uniforms in school.As a matter of fact, this is a complex and controversial issue.Different people hold different views due to their different
backgrounds.Accordingly, it is impossible for us to give a universal answer to this question.As far as I am concerned, I agree that students should be asked to wear only school uniforms in school.I will prove my point of view by following discussion...............Certainly, we could not ignore the advantages from wearing what students want in school, such as
makeing them enjoy lives.Taking the practical situation into account that learning knowledge and skills is the most important thing in school, however, we can safely draw the conclusion that school should require students to wear school uniforms in school.黃的大家不要看了,是我寫的練習之一,呵呵。但是要強調的是:轉折很重要!但是沒必要單寫一段,我想最后一段用個小轉折就OK了,因為我們畢竟主要還是說另外一方面嘛。
摸班2:
It seems, in so many items, very difficult to choose one of the animals to be the most important animal in my country.Because all of them in my country have their special functions and characteristics.But it does not mean that they are the same to me.To be frank, I would choose panda as the most important animal in my country if the practical situation that panda is such an animal that lives only in China is considered.To explain my point of view, I will illustrate it in following three aspects.因為是列舉題目,所以最后簡單總結一下就OK,2,3句話足夠了。
第四篇:如何寫托福作文萬能邏輯模版
如何寫托福作文 萬能邏輯“模版”
托福作文的高分評分標準中,有一條是well organized, 那么怎么才能做到well organized? 就是邏輯結構的安排, 一篇邏輯清晰,結構分明的文章,自然是well organized, 無所謂英文還是中文, 精品學習網為大家提供一種思維的模版,幫助同學們確立文章結構,從而做到well organized.之所以稱之為模版,是因為這是一種比較固定的模式,可以供同學們直接使用,之所以稱之為萬能,是因為它提供的是一種思維方式,而不是一種固定的句式或單詞,因此,同學們在使用中并不用擔心雷同.那么下面就一起體驗這種思維的模版吧.好的文章里,兩個元素之間的邏輯關系更為常見的是“遞進”或者“轉折”,而非“并列”。我們看到某一篇文章中出現了“遞進”的邏輯關系,就會不由自主地體會到作者有能力進行“深入”思考,當我們看到某一處出現了“轉折”的邏輯關系,就會不由自主地體會到作者有能力“從一個以上的角度,甚至是相對的角度”進行思考。這種邏輯關系可能體現在整體架構上,也可能體現在某個很小的細節之處,但,無論如何,都會被讀者自覺不自覺地體會到。
試比較一下以下兩段話,體會一下各個例子之間的邏輯關系:
a.很多人從事危險活動是因為金錢的驅動。比如,動作電影里的特技演員和探索頻道的特聘攝影師。
b.很多人從事危險活動是因為金錢的驅動。比如,動作電影里的特技演員或者搶劫銀行的喪心病狂的犯罪分子。也許這樣一小處的差異算不上什么,但是如果一篇文章中隨處可見此類細微而又“深刻”的差異,那文章質量就全然不同了。(編輯:陳佳)
