四、關(guān)于新托福寫作

寫作是最能讓我驕傲的一項(xiàng)了!30分我拿的是29分，知道分?jǐn)?shù)后我high了好久，真的是要好好感謝李笑來老師!

我想李笑來老師大家應(yīng)該都不陌生，特別是看過他的《托福6分作文》的考生。常常在論壇上看到評(píng)價(jià)李老師還有他的作文的帖子，其實(shí)在聽他的課之前，我也曾經(jīng)懷疑他的所謂6分作文是不是真的能夠拿到6分，有時(shí)甚至感覺他寫的文章挺俗的，有很多中文式的表達(dá)，總之就是讓人看起來很怪。聽了他的課才知道，他的作文是確確實(shí)實(shí)能夠拿到6分的，而且托福的作文其實(shí)是能夠容忍我們看起來的“中文式表達(dá)”。

李老師上課的時(shí)候一直在強(qiáng)調(diào)英文寫作的一個(gè)原則——be specific，真的是非常正確。英文寫作確實(shí)是圍繞例子來寫的，能舉出一個(gè)有說服力的example，比你寫長(zhǎng)篇論述要有利得多。為了做到specific，李老師舉了很多例子，其實(shí)歸結(jié)起來就是構(gòu)思的時(shí)候，每提出一個(gè)論點(diǎn)，就要向三個(gè)方向發(fā)散思維：what, why, how，這樣可以更快捷地讓自己思路打開，從而找到合適的論據(jù)說明自己的觀點(diǎn)。

李老師沒怎么教我們?nèi)绾螌?a target="_blank">小作文，但是他提了最關(guān)鍵的——明明白白地指明文章段落和聽力段落的聯(lián)系，這個(gè)非常非常重要。其實(shí)我個(gè)人認(rèn)為，小作文能否拿到滿分看的就是這幾句話。經(jīng)常看到有人在BBS 上留言說自己也有點(diǎn)明聯(lián)系，但是小作文分?jǐn)?shù)還是不高，個(gè)人感覺就是點(diǎn)得還不夠。我總結(jié)了自己的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，就是在每一點(diǎn)的中間，也就是從聽力段落內(nèi)容過渡到文章段落內(nèi)容的時(shí)候，要點(diǎn)一遍，然后在每個(gè)分論點(diǎn)后面還要在點(diǎn)明，最后在文章的結(jié)尾再次強(qiáng)烈點(diǎn)明，這樣的明明確確是不可能不讓你拿滿分的。(e.g.如果聽力段落有3個(gè)論點(diǎn)，就是一共要點(diǎn)明3x2+1=7次)

下面介紹一些具體的：

In this listening material, the professor made several points about____________.

First of all / Moreover/ Furthermore, the professor ***** that_____________________, while the reading passage ^^^^^^ (在這里先點(diǎn)明矛盾)that_____________________. (每一段最后再用套句來深刻點(diǎn)明矛盾)

*****可以在這里選詞State/ claim/ argue/ discuss/ also mention/ then talk/ indicate/ say/ contend/ raise the issue/ demonstrate/ According to the professor/ make the point that/ hold/ believe/ show/

^^^^^^可以在這里選詞 ：( 的表達(dá)可以視情況改動(dòng))

(若反對(duì))Contradict/ depart from/ refute/ disagree with/ oppose to the writer’s expectation/ cast doubt on/ present a (totally) different idea/ jeopardized/ this is anther part where experience contradicted theory/ differ from/ on the contrary/ this makes the explanation seem less likely/ in contrast

(若支持)Support/ illustrate/ strengthen/ agree with/ bolster/(perfectly) reinforce/ present the same view

每段結(jié)尾還有一些套句可以用：

1. The lecturer says that the theory stated in the passage was very indifferent and somewhat inaccurate when compared to what happened for real

2. This directly contradicts what the passage indicates

3. This was anther part where experience contradicted theory

4. This is entirely oppose to the writer’s expectation

5. This is where the speaker disagree with the writer

最后，(若反對(duì))Finally, the speakers raises the issue that ___________. This point disagrees that ________________ demonstrated in the reading. So, the contents in the reading passage are totally jeopardized by the speaker and the speaker has totally different ideas on the topics made in the reading.

(若支持)Finally, the professor stated that, in support of the reading, ______________________________. This perfectly reinforced what the reading passage indicates, because the passage says that___________________________.

大家看起來或許會(huì)覺得很抽象，多寫幾篇就會(huì)有感覺了，主要是想告訴大家，千萬不要局限于固定的模板和套句，那樣會(huì)局限思維，很難展開，特別是對(duì)打字慢的朋友，肯定吃不消。如果練到能夠熟練運(yùn)用我上面提供的詞匯，我覺得小作文不拿滿分是不可能的(我12分鐘就寫完了，寫了292個(gè)詞)
