分享新托福獨立寫作話題范圍
根據對去年50多場托福考試的分析,我們能總結出獨立作文話題圍繞的范圍在:教育、領導、兒童、環境、生活、工作、成功、政府、道德等方面,話題還是比較貼近我們日常生活學習的,也有很多是講人生哲理和道理的,而我們前人已經給我們總結出了許多富有哲理,語言優美,同時又通俗易懂的名言警句,我們在寫作文時,可以適當引用,放句首作為背景或話題引入,亦或是放段落中間作為論證方法,都是不錯的選擇。上次給大家分享了教育、環境、領導三個方面的名言妙語,這次朗閣托福培訓名師給大家分享工作和健康。
關于工作
考題回顧:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
People work because they need money to live.題目翻譯:你同意與否?人們工作往往由于他們需要錢生活。
解析:對很多同學來說,第一反應可能就是金錢是工作的第一驅動力(the primary motivation),這也很符合馬斯洛的人類需求原理(theory of Maslow),馬斯洛認為人們最基本的需求是錢、睡眠和住所(Maslow theorized that people have the basic needs such as money, sleep and shelter.),但是仔細去想人除了為錢工作或者滿足了生活基本需求之后的工作都有其他含義在里面的,比如說,滿足感(satisfaction),對工作的喜愛(passionate toward work)都能是人們工作的原因。這時候你就可以實時地用上幾句非常優美地道的名言妙語:
1.The fact remains that the overwhelming majority of people who have become wealthy have become so thanks to work they found profoundly absorbing.The long term study of people who eventually became wealthy clearly reveals that their “luck” arose from accidental dedication they had to an arena they enjoyed.事實仍舊是,絕大多數已變得富有的人要歸功于他們認為具有巨大吸引力的工作。對最終成為富人的人進行長期研究后清楚地發現,他們的“運氣”來自于他們偶然投入自己所熱衷的領域。
--史·布洛特,美國作家、記者Srully Blotnick(1941-2004)
2.Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.工作中的快樂使工作完美。
--亞里士多德,古希臘哲學家Aristotle(384 BC-322 BC)
3.It has been my experience that one cannot, in any shape or form, depend on human relations for lasting reward.It is only work that truly satisfies.我的經驗是,一個人不能,以任何形式或方式,依賴人際關系取得永久的回報。只有工作才能帶來真正的滿足。
--貝特 戴維斯,美國演員Bette Davis(1908-1989), The Lonely Life
4.Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.不要雇傭因為錢而為你工作的人,應雇傭因為熱愛你的工作而為你工作的人。
--亨利·戴維·梭羅Herry David Thoreau(1817-1862),美國作家、社會批評家
關于健康
考題回顧:
Which of the following would you change to improve your health: 1.the kind of food you eat 2.the amount of exercise 3.The amount of stress
題目翻譯:你愿意做以下哪個來提高你的健康:1.你吃哪種食物;2.運動量;3.壓力大小。
解析:同學們看到這個覺得好難抉擇啊,好像通過改變這三項都可以達到提升自己的健康,比如說日常的鍛煉防止了很多疾病的產生,例如高血壓、心臟病、中風、心血管等危險疾病(Daily physical activity can help prevent heart disease and stroke by strengthening your heart muscle, lowering your blood pressure, raising your high-density, improving blood flow, decreasing the risk for peripheral vascular disease, and increasing your heart’s working capacity.還有很多類似的好處如:減肥,糖尿病等。It can also reduce body fat, which is associated with high blood pressure.By reducing body fat, physical activity can help to prevent and control this type of diabetes.)
再比如說改變飲食方式,如多吃素食,如堅果、全麥食品,也可以給人們的健康帶來很多益處,例如降低心血管、肥胖等危險疾病發生幾率,預防癌癥等。(Maintaining a well-balanced vegetarian diet is healthy and can be beneficial by reducing the risk of diseases, particularly cardiovascular diseases and obesity.Eating variety of soy, nut, or wheat based products can substitute for certain meat dishes and dairy products by providing the needed nutrients those normally provide.)
就是減少壓力相對來說對健康難寫一點,但會給人們帶來身體的放松,心情的愉悅,對心理健康是很有益處的。
而同學們也可以插入名言妙語:
1.Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness.那些認為自己沒有時間鍛煉的人遲早會為疾病尋找治療的時間。
--愛德華·利,英國諾維奇主教Edward Stanley(1779-18949)
2.Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.沒有什么能夠比弘揚素食更有益于人類,更能增加我們在地球上的生存機會。
--艾伯特·愛因斯坦Albert Einstein(1879-1955),德裔美籍著名理論物理學家、20世紀最偉大的科學家之
一、相對論的發現者
即使你有很多可以選擇并且可以寫的句子,但是還是要擺正觀點,選擇自己擅長去寫,并且對比說明為什么你選這個而不選那個,比如說這題你說選擇運動,就要說明即使飲食會帶來不健康,可是運動可以解決飲食不健康的問題,充足而適當的運動可以減少肥胖,糖尿病等,并且也是用減壓的方式,因此你選擇了運動。
此次就給大家分享到這,下次再給大家分享其他話題的解析和名言妙語。
第二篇:常見的新托福獨立寫作話題名言妙語
常見的新托福獨立寫作話題名言妙語
(本文做主朗閣海外考試研究中心:黃蓉,由成都朗閣上傳,轉載請注明出處)
通常,在新托福獨立作文中,考生往往會遇到許多不同的話題。但基本上以教育、領導、兒童、環境、生活、成功、政府、道德等比較貼近我們的日常生活和學習的話題為主,當然也有很多是講人生哲理和道理的。而我們的前人已經給我們總結出了許多富有哲理、語言優美,同時又通俗易懂的名言警句,我們在寫作文時,可以適當引用,放在句首作為背景或話題引入,亦或是作為論據放在段落中間,都是不錯的選擇。下面朗閣海外考試研究中心的專家給大家介紹一些有關教育、領導、環境等話題的可用名人妙語。
一、關于教育
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: It is better to choose a university whose graduates have good job opportunities than a university who has famous professors.題目翻譯:選擇有好的工作機會的學校還是選擇有知名教授的學校?
思考:那么知名教授對比工作機會,能給學生帶來更多的什么呢?
從古至今人們一直在討論老師這個角色給我們帶來的春風雨露,因此有大量的名言值得大家借鑒,比如以下這句就可以放在作文的開頭作為引起考官興趣的段子:
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.Teach a man to create an artificial shortage of fish and he will eat steak.-------jay leno
翻譯:授人以魚只救一時之急。授人以漁則解一生之需。授人竭澤而漁,則其將另覓他食。這里,授人以魚可表示一個好的工作機會的offer, 而授人以漁可以表示普通老師的教授方法,而授人竭澤而漁,則可表示知名教授不一樣的教學方法,同學們引入了之后便可對這句話進行適當解釋,進而引入話題,表明觀點等,就能把文章的亮點凸顯出來。
二、關于環境與發展
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Governments should focus more on preservation of environment rather than economic development.翻譯:你是否同意:政府應該關注環境保護而不是經濟發展。
思考:大家都知道環保的重要性,如果你能用上幾句這樣詩般的話作為開頭引入與表明觀點,考官一定大加贊賞:
There is a proverb going like this:
Only when the last tree has been cut down.Only when the last river has been poisoned.Only when the last fish has been caught.Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.-----北美印第安克里族預言
只有當最后一棵樹被砍了
只有當最后一支河流被污染了
只有當最后的魚被抓了
只有這個時候你才會發現錢不能吃。
這幾句話非常切題,恰到好處地證明了環境保護和經濟發展之間的關系:環境破壞給人們帶來的災難是經濟無法彌補的。
或者也可以將這樣一句意味深長的名言放在文章的中間作為例證:
When the well’s dry, we know the worth of water.------Benjamin Franklin
當井水枯竭時,我們方可知道水的價值:即水的價值不是錢能衡量的。
三、關于領導
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: The most important character for a politician or leader is good communication skills.題目翻譯:你是否同意:一個政治家或領導最重要的特點是擁有良好的溝通技能。
對于領導這個話題,有很多名言可以參考,考生可以在確定觀點后再選擇名言。一個政治家或首領需要具備的素質有很多,如:決策力、溝通能力、親和力、組織能力等。
如果你覺得最重要的是決策力,則可用以下名言表達觀點:
If I had to sum up in one word what makes a good manager, I’d say decisiveness.You can use the fanciest computers to gather the numbers but in the end you have to set a timetable and act.-------lee Iacocca(實業家)
翻譯:如果一定要我用一個詞概括出什么讓一個人成為優秀的管理者,我會說是決斷力。你能用最高級的電腦收集數據,但最終你還得設立一個時間表并采取行動。
這句話恰到好處的表達出為什么決策力是最重要的,沒有決策力其他再怎么準備也沒有用。
還有一些關于領導需要具備的素質的名言可供大家參考,如充分信任部下,激勵他人等等,都可以作為考生所認為的最重要的素質:
The best leader is the one who has the sense to surround himself with outstanding people and self-restraint not to meddle with how they do their jobs.翻譯:最出色的領導能有意識的讓杰出的人圍繞在他身邊為他做事,并能控制住自己不去干預他們的工作。
Management is nothing more than motivating other people.翻譯:管理無非是激勵他人。
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Talented people’s leadership is inborn and can’t be learned by people.題目翻譯:你是否同意:領導才能是天生的,不可后天學習。
思考:到底領導才能是天生的還是學出來的?我們來看看肯尼迪大總統這個偉大的領導者怎么說:
Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.-------John F.Kennedy
領導能力和學習這兩者是不可或缺的。
因此下面只要論證學習是很重要的,好的領導也是靠一部分學習練成的即可。
第三篇: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?
第四篇:新托福tpo28獨立寫作
Topic: parents are more involved in their children’s education than the parents in the past.It is not uncommon to see that parents are have incredible zael to participate into their children’s education in many perspectives.At contemporary society, parents always take part in some semilars that are related to students’s study and force their children to join the extra-curricula classes which can help their chldren to improve acdemic performance.Therefore, as far as I am considerd, nowadays, parents’ involvement in kids’ study is much more emphasized than ever before.Compared with the parents in the past,parents at present, have a strong will to make their children more competent in the future career.With the development of the society, the compitition in the modern society is increasingly fierce than ever before.Every parents want their children not only can survive in the compitition but also want them to be successful in the future.Hence, those parents take pains to achieve this ambitions on their own way and consequently, because they think education is the gateway to seccess, they should be involved in their children’ s study and help their children as well.On the contrary, because of the low living standre, parents in the past only think how to bring chilren up and let them survive, so there is no time for them to have such ambitions.Therefore, it is reasonable for us to think that parents nowdays are more interseted in children’s education.Additionally, it is universally acknowledged that in the modern era, parents have a extremely high expectation than in the past.Parents want their children to be versatile and prominent, which lead most part of children can not achieve this goal at all, thus, under this circumstance, parents will help children in personally that of course include preants’ participation in children’s study.By contrast, in the past, parents just make their children free and let them do what they want.Parents will not discipline children unless they make blunder.So, we can draw a conclusion that the untouchable expectation make parents involve more in the children’s study.In conclusion, because the increasingly competitive society and high expectation make parents nowdays have more zeat in children’s study and take part in it actively.But, from my perspective, parents should give enough space for children to manage their own study.
第五篇: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)
