托福改革后,涌现一大波低分?!问题到底出在哪儿?!
小编在上网冲浪的时候,看到有托福考生都说,自己的写作从来没有低于过27分了,而参加了新版托福考试,出分后发现写作只有24分,比自己的最好成绩29分怒降了5分,也有同学对此表示了认同。
那么是官方对于新写作的评分并不稳定?还是改革之后题目变难?其实综合新东方在线托福老师们的考试经验以及授课经验来看,产生分数波动的主要原因还是在于大部分的同学对学术讨论写作新题型的熟悉程度不够,甚至还在用错误的方式进行写作。
今天小编来为大家更进一步解析托福学术讨论写作,快来马克收藏吧!
01
了解问题分类
新的学术讨论写作这个问题模拟了大学网站上的讨论板,根据目前官方给出的一些材料以及已经考过的题目来看,大致的题目类型分成了以下几类:
问题类型1:Yes or No
问题类型2:State a Preference
问题类型3:Open-Ended
02
表明自己观点
无论题型如何,考生都需要在回答中开门见山给出自己的观点,比如:
This is a challenging topic, but I think that social media influencers aren’t as significant as some people suggest.
While I appreciate the points mentioned by Jack and Emily, I think that social media stars aren’t particularly influential nowadays.
有些学生容易犯的错误是,把学术讨论写作和综合写作混为一谈,在文章里只讨论阅读材料里的信息,不给出自己的观点。在学术讨论写作时,一定要输出自己的观点或是新的见解,不要仅仅重复其他同学的观点。比如:
This is a challenging topic, but I think we should prioritize the environment at this time. I strongly agree with Alex’s idea that our lives will be unpleasant if we focus entirely on economic growth. I would add that if the environment is damaged by industrial development we’ll all be more likely to suffer from serious ailments like cancer and lung disease. These sorts of illnesses can be a real strain on our medical systems. Maggie raised the relevant point that it’s possible that profitable companies will someday solve all of our problems using new technology, but she doesn’t mention that they might arrive far too late to be of use. For example, it could take decades for an innovative company to create a clean energy source, but people are suffering from environmental catastrophes right now.
03
写作思路
常规情况下会有2种回答的思路, 扩展和挑战其他学生提到的观点或给出一个全新的答案,不提及其他学生的观点。
1. 扩展和挑战其他学生提到的问题要点:
●This is a challenging topic, but I think that...
●I strongly agree with [student]’s idea that ...
●I’d add that ...
●While [other student] raised the relevant point that [mention one point made by the other student], he/she didn’t mention that ...
● For example...
2. 给出一个全新的答案,而暂时忽略其他学生的回答:
● While I appreciate the points mentioned by both STUDENT 1 and STUDENT 2, I think that…
● Remember that..., so ...
● Some people may feel that ..., but ...
04
注重语言运用
很多考生以为语言越华丽,语法结构越复杂,分数就越高。通过外网的一些测试发现:120个以上的词+1个从属连词+3个并列连词的文章结构是评分员非常喜欢的写作方式。
在新的学术讨论写作中,也不需要使用复杂的时态表达,一般情况下使用现在时、过去时、现在完成时就可以。
另外在遣词造句方面可以使用高级表达,但是一切都需要以表达准确为出发点。
Remember that the choices people make are also impacted by their peers, by their family members and even by traditional advertising, so the Internet isn’t a dominant force in their lives. Some people may feel that influencers are more powerful than ever, but I think their impact is actually declining.
05
时间分配
有同学会因为时间分配不合理,没有写完文章导致成绩不理想。学术讨论写作总计10分钟,建议尽量在2分钟内完成材料阅读,剩余8分钟的分配则为:
1min:写出主要观点
2min:写支撑观点的主要的理由
4min:进行解释,举例的展开和详细说明
1min:写简短的总结
不难看出在有限时间下,新版托福写作是没有机会在落笔后做大篇幅修改的,另外也没有时间给同学们进行检查,所以大家需要尽量在落笔前就找到自己有话可说的观点,进行展开。
