托福写作科技类范文

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.【新托福独立写作范文】

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.【新托福独立写作范文】

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.

不同的人对于机器人技术(robotics)及人工智能(artificial intelligence)是利是弊一直各执一词，争论不休。反对者反对机器人技术(robotics)及人工智能(artificial intelligence)的一个主要原因就是其会导致大量的失业(tounleash mass unemployment)。而大规模的失业(mass unemployment)使得大量劳动力(labor force)无事可做，从而会影响社会的稳定( to take a heavy toll on social stability)。

2 to outperform 超越

然而支持者们却认为，现如今机器能够在几乎所有任务上超越人类(machines are able to outperform humans at almost any task),所以机器人技术(robotics)及人工智能(artificialintelligence)把人们从繁重的工作中解放了出来，提高了工作效率，人们才可以更多地去享受休闲娱乐活动。只是在这个时刻确切到来之前，社会需要直面的这个问题(Society needs to confront this question before it is upon us)是如何更好地让机器人技术及人工智能为我们服务。

Many teachers assign homework to students every day. Do you think that daily homework is necessary for students? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

写作思路展开结构分析

基本上同意。给学生留作业的是因为学生缺乏自学能力。因此，老师通过留作业可以使学生不知不觉地完成知识的吸收。学习是一个系统的过程。系统的重复(systematical repetition)是学习过程中的一个重要机制 (mechanism)。而留作业，也正是通过这个机制使学习更加有效。但是，有些老师留作业不科学，还不如不留。留作业太多，造成副作用(counter-effect; negative effect)，使学生厌学(be weary of studying) 另外，要看是哪个阶段的学生：小学(elementary school)一二年级，就不要留作业了吧?初中以上，留作业的同时是不是应该更注重培养学生的自学能力呢?上了大学之后，还要每天留作业，就很古怪了吧?

For students the only good homework is no homework. This has been a truism for as long as schools have existed. However, the practice of newly acquired knowledge and the preparation for new lessons are essential parts of the learning process. Teachers understand this and give assignments accordingly.

Nevertheless, there is such thing as too much homework. Whether daily homework is useful or not depends on the age of the students and the subjects in which the work is assigned, and teachers also have to take into account the possible negative effects of overwork. The age of a student or, better yet, the stage of the personal development of a student has to be considered when deciding on the amount of homework assigned. Elementary school students respond differently to daily homework than senior school students. They are more limited in their ability to concentrate on a subject and take in knowledge. These are skills that are developed over time. In addition, they will need time to learn other important lessons, for example how to interact socially and behave in a group of their peers.

Thus, instead of daily homework, these students need time to play with their friends. The need for daily homework also differs from subject to subject. For example, in the areas of mathematics and languages continuous engagement with the subject matter is necessary, because it allows a student to internalize important concepts and mechanisms. In the field of history, on the other hand, it is more important that students grasp greater concepts. Memorizing dates and places is important, surely, but, if forgotten, these can always be looked up in the textbook. In these subjects daily homework is not only unnecessary but it might discourage students from taking an interest in the topic.

After all, learning is largely a voluntary activity, and teachers have to consider the possibility that too much homework will frustrate the students. As a result, students might become less interested in the subject or less willing to learn. Consequently, the good intentions of the teacher could very well have the opposite effect and a student will learn less.

1. be in flux 改变

随着网上海淘(online cross-border shopping)的盛起，国人的消费习惯发生了改变(be in flux)。大家平时并不再需要压抑自己的购物欲望(to stifle the desire to buy), 他们平日里也可以通过互联网在网上购物，这样到节假日的时候他们就不会囤积了太多购物清单。现在有很多很火的海淘网，比如Amazon就非常的便捷。同时，海外代购(overseas purchasing)也使得很多外语并不好的国人足不出户便可以在全世界买买买。

2. discretionary spending 可支配支出

同时随着近些年国人观念的改变，一味地通过奢侈品(luxury items/ big-ticket items/premium items)来炫富(flaunt wealth)的做法并不流行了。现如今人们更愿意把可支配支出(discretionary spending)用在健身(body building)、投资家人等上面。这样的改变会使得人们在购买奢侈品时更理性谨慎，而不会再一味的为了买而买。

3. Michelin-starred restaurant 米其林星级餐厅

米其林星级餐厅(Michelin-starred restaurant)大家都知道，可是你能准确无误地拼出它的英文表达吗? 导致国人在海外收敛了奢侈品的购买(rein in purchase of luxury items)的另一个重要原因就是国人在海外旅游时开始更多地关注旅游本身所带来的体验，而非像以往那般只在景区拍照以及疯狂购物。人们更有兴趣去探索当地的影院、饮食及风土人情(local customs and culture)。

4. domestic products 国货

预测国人长假不会再次疯狂购物(go on a shopping spree)的另一个原因就是国人开始重拾对国货的信心和兴趣了(to restore their confidence and interest in domestic products)。有调查表明，在第一季度，华为手机以13.75%的高份额占有率，成为中国市场销量第一，这也是华为手机在中国市场的销量上首次超过苹果等跨国品牌。

10月28日托福独立写作题目：

Many filmmakers make movies based on books. some people prefer to read the book before they watch the movie, while other people prefer to watch the movie before they read the book. which one do you prefer?

与今年03月04日的题目一样

范文：

Since the invention of movies about one century ago, general publics have shown extraordinary passion and enthusiasm on this way of entertainment. It is very common to find a cinema crowded with audiences coming to watch the newly launched movie starring their idols or telling a story written by a famous author. In my mind, if possible, it is more meaningful for people to read the book on which the movie is produced before going to the theater.

Admittedly, without reading the book in advance, audiences still can fully enjoy the movies. For modern citizens, time is a commonly mentioned excuse: they are too busy to spare enough time to read. As study and work has occupied most of their time, they feel even not enough time to have a rest. Also, thanks to the improvement of movie making techniques and directors’ skills, audiences usually regard watching movies as a better way to enjoy a story. For example, the movie of The Great Gatsby lasts about two hours, starring Leonardo and boasting fantastic party scenes. But, it costs people months to finish reading the book.

However, for great works of famous authors, it is definitely worthy for people to read books before watching movies. To begin with, the reading of the original story enables us to have better understanding of the movie and to assess the movie more objectively. By reading books beforehand, audiences have more information on backgrounds of events and personalities of characters. This allows people to judge whether the director and actors are successful in telling the story. Even, some authors’works are by nature very challenging for directors to film. With huge efforts, the movie is still obscure and abstruse. Without reading the book, it is unfair for audiences disappointed by the movie to criticize the author. Take Here the Wind Sing written by Haruki Murakami as an example. If audiences haven’t read the book before, they can hardly understand those behaviors of Japanese young adults and be bored by insipid trivial matters in the movie.

Secondly, the reading of the book in advance allows audiences to be more critical while watching the movie. It is unavoidable that people may have divergent interpretation of the book. Bearing in mind the story, we are able to examine whether the movie will strike a chord in our heart or enlighten us with different revelation. Especially for die-hard fans, to watch a movie based on a book of their beloved author is just like to have a discussion with the director and actors on the contents or even details. Take the movie Into the White Night based on the book of Higashino Keigo as an example. The author is very successful in depicting criminals’ mental activities and creating conflicts, while the movie emphasizes much on cruel criminal activities to catch eyeballs. By reading the original story, we even can assess whether the actor and actress is successful in shaping characters.

To sum up, although watching movies without reading original books saves people much time, it is actually much more enjoyable to read in advance.

本话题高分范文赏析

The building of a new university is exciting in any city. Picking the right community is very important, and there are a number of things to consider when making such a decision. I currently live in the Dongzhimen area of Beijing, so I will be discussing the advantages and disadvantages of building a university in this community. There are many advantages of building a university in the Dongzhimen (DZM) area. First, DZM is located in the center of the Beijing metropolis. Students will have no trouble finding anything they need to further their studies, for example, food, stationary supplies, and other basic daily necessities. This is very important, because any time one spends hunting for needed items or traveling to get them is time spent away from study. Second, there are also a number of excellent restaurants in the area, offering good, hearty meals for a nominal price. As many students do not have the time to make their own meals, this is an excellent reason to build a university in this area. There are also negative points of building a university in the DZM area. First, it is important to note that the infamous Sanlitun “Bar Street” is within walking distance from DZM. While one would like to believe that students would be able to resist the urge of going to the bars every night, it could be a draw for some. This would, of course, lower grade point averages and be a major hindrance. Second, the housing situation in this area is more expensive than many other communities in the city. As many students are living on limited budgets, it might be difficult to find adequate housing. Finally, the last drawback of building a university in the DZM area is the traffic. As the community is right downtown, there is a constant flow of cars and trucks. With all of the street noise, the students could be distracted from their studies. Overall, I think that DZM would not be a good choice for a university. There are too many distractions close by. While it is an excellent area to live in, there are too many negatives of having the university in this area.

8.托福考生托福写作高分经验 篇八

江同学的英文基础水平不错，但在写作方面缺少系统的练习。在了解江同学的基本情况之后，我给她制定了十分具有针对性的备考计划。

在综合写作方面，主要通过课上讲评和课后练习的方式进行的。在做题时，要求江同学要注重阅读和听力部分的一一对应的反驳关系。在课程中，进行了对阅读的总观点和分论点进行改写的练习，于此同时也讲解了如何使表达更有简洁性。听力内容方面，则让江同学要做到尽量还原原文，尤其是细节部分更要表达完整准确。在注重技巧训练的同时也时刻提醒学员要打好基础，加强单词方面的背诵与默写。在单词背诵方面，我主要借鉴《词以类记》这 本书的按学科分类部分的方法来扩展江同学词汇量，并且让她在平时的学习中注意搭建单词发音与拼写之间的联系。

在独立写作方面，我们首先讲解了题型的分类和相应的解题技巧。通过对主题句的写作练习，一方面纠正了江同学的一些语言表达上的错误，同时提醒她要加强主题句与段落展开之间的联系。课后我也会布置适量的作业来检查她对课上所讲内容的掌握情况。在作业讲评中，我发现江同学比较喜欢使用说理的形式来展开段落，这就使得她的表达比较单一。为了让她文章段落的表达更加多样化，我有意通过不同题型的讲解来使得江同学逐步掌握使用例证法和数据报道等形式的段落展开方式。

江同学于7月18日参加了第一次托福考试，写作成绩26总分105。相信这样的分数对于大多数托福考生来说已经足够高了，但是对于想申请顶尖名校的学霸来说还差那么一点点。为此，在后续的课程中，我给她制定了更严密的备考计划。要想更上一层楼取得更高的分数，就意味着要尽可能地减少各种错误并使文章出彩，比如要注重单词的拼写，加强多样化的表达等。那么就要首先从审题方面下手，比如独立写作三选一的题目，江同学在读题目方面有时不太认真。这时我会指出她审题方面的问题，并且要求她注意审题，尤其应关注题目中的一些细节信息，这样有助于更好地思考分论点。此外，课上我还会拿出江同学文章中的一句话要求她进行词汇的同义替换和句式的改写。在写名词和动词时，会要求她要慢下来，思考一下正确的表达形式。具体来说就是名词要不要加定冠词或者复数的变化，动词则要注重时态和单三形式的变化。在每篇文章的讲评中，我都会不厌其烦地指出她的各种语法和拼写错误，找出犯错误的原因，让她自行改正错误并鼓励她在今后的写作中要提高注意力，避免重复犯错。在解题思路方面，不仅加强了对江同学独立写作分论点方面万能理由的补充，还进行了相关词汇的补充，从而使语言表达更加多样化。

作为一名高中生，平常的课业压力之大是不难想象的。从4月2日的首次课到8月28日上完最后一节写作课。在这5个月的写作1对1辅导期间，我们一共上了14节课，平均下来10天才能上一次写作。但如果细看课表的话，学员由于课业压力大，有时甚至两周才能上一次写作课，这样不均匀的上课频率其实并不太利于备考。因此，上课时间的有效利用与互动就显得更加珍贵。不过江同学的学习态度认真，理解能力强，互动能力也很好，同时对待作业也能按时认真完成，才使得她的写作能够不断的进步。我们每次的课后作业都是根据江同学下次课的上课时间来布置的，这样不仅可以督促学员认真高效完成，同时也可以让她及时整理此前课上所学的知识点，不断巩固与消化。

当然学霸有时也会出现问题，在长时间的备考过程中，江同学也会难免出现懈怠的情绪。记得有一次综合写作作业的完成质量相比从前有所下降，我便立即提醒她要引起足够的重视。并且要求江同学继续背诵综合写作模板，同时课下要求她加强综合写作的练习并根据阅读和听力原文进行自检。

功夫不负有心人，江同学于209月3号再战托福，写作部分拿到了令人羡慕的满分，总分也再创新高达到了111分。当问及学员高分的体会时，孩子的回答也很简洁——多练多写。这四个字看似简单，但实际上包含太多背后需要付出的努力。

以上就是小编为大家整理00后考生托福写作高分经验分享，希望可以扬长避短，找到适合自己的方法来提升自己的托福写作成绩。最后，小编预祝大家托福考试能取得理想的成绩。

托福写作模板：如何提升演讲能力

题目：

After your presentation, which way would you choose to identify your weakness and improve your presentation?

1) reviewing the recording on your own;

2) inviting your colleagues or classmates to make suggestions for improvement.

范文1：For Choice 1

To improve my performance after giving a presentation, it is best to review a recording of it by myself. This process lets me observe all aspects of the presentation, evaluate changes at my own pace, and avoid being defensive.

First, a video recording gives significantly more information than just relying on comments made by colleagues or classmates. I can analyze and improve on even small points that others may not have noticed or found worth mentioning. For example, a couple years ago, I gave a presentation that I had extensively prepared for. It had strong organization and flow. Classmates raved about the content, but mentioned that I looked scared. I was confused, because I had felt confident. However, I noticed in the video later that I was continually fingering my notes. For my next presentation, I placed the notes within view but did not hold them, rendering my appearance more professional.

Another reason I prefer watching a recording is my pace of learning. I can focus on the points I want to redo, replaying the material as often as I want, confirming even tiny details. In fact, I can even take long breaks to think about what I see or to try out alternate delivery styles. I do not have to inconvenience my friends by asking them for feedback or taking up their time. If others are involved in the evaluation process, I feel much more rushed because I do not want to bother people who have agreed to help me.

Finally, reviewing a recording by myself eliminates a serious problem that hinders progress: my pride. I do not like to admit it, but I often get defensive about feedback and want to explain why certain things happened. I feel resentful about negative comments rather than see them as stepping stones towards improvement. It is a natural tendency, but it definitely hinders my ability to assimilate outside feedback. Furthermore, friends try to be polite, so they may not mention minorpoints that I might have improved because they don’t want to seem too critical. Emotions get in the way of a thorough critique.

To improve my future performance, I find it best to review videos of my presentations by myself. I can evaluate all aspects of the presentation, take as much time as I need, and avoid the inevitable problem of emotional involvement swaying the critique.

at my own pace 按照自己的步伐走

rave about the content 对内容赞不绝口

place the notes within view 把笔记放在眼前,把笔记放在视线范围内

inconvenience my friends 麻烦我的朋友

take up their time 占用他们的时间

see them as stepping stones towards improvement 把它们看作是迈向进步的垫脚石

get in the way 妨碍,阻碍

范文2：For Choice 2

It is essential to get the feedback of people in the audience to learn about mistakes and improve on a presentation. Spectator critiques help identify the big picture and reveal points that you can’tsee in an honest, unbiased way.

No matter how impartial you want to be, a self-evaluation is biased. It incorporates points that are not relevant to the performance you gave. For example, you may think you did excellent given your limited practice time or great amount of stress, but your audience is unaware of these factors. The viewers only evaluate what they see, which is a far more accurate measure of a presentation. A self-evaluation may also ignore issues that were “just accidents.” However, such points may reallybe important detractors that need to be addressed.

People in the audience also provide insight into the big picture. They only have time to note specific glaring details or outstanding highlights. Otherwise, their feedback gives you the overallimpression of the performance, which is something intangible and essential to the presentation’ssuccess. If you compare the feedback of several observers, you can isolate the main patterns. As a result, you can understand the most important parts that need changed. If you only refer to a video on your own, you may get caught up changing minor details rather than addressing the key elements that are needed to alter the overall flow or lasting effect.

Finally, classmates or colleagues may identify things you take for granted such as mannerisms, repeated words, or even problems with visual aids. One example is a teacher who gave a presentation using an old slide projector that kept jamming. The teacher apologized when that happened and kept going with the lecture. He had no idea how distracting it was, to the point that students remembered joking about which slide would get stuck next better than they remembered the content. The teacher, however, was so used to fixing the projector that he barely noticed it. The feedback showed him the value of replacing his visual aids with newer equipment, an issue he had never considered was important.

Since an audience gives you honest evaluations of the overall impression of a presentation and identifies points you may not see on your own, it is important to get feedback from people in the audience in order to improve your presentations.

spectator critiques 旁观者的评论

in an honest, unbiased way 以诚实、公正的方式

a far more accurate measure of a presentation 对报告或展示一种更为准确的评价

provide insight into the big picture 洞察全局

glaring details 明显的细节

outstanding highlights 突出的亮点

托福写作模板：当今的学生是否更关心政治

题目：当今的学生是否更关心政治

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:

Students are more interested in politics today than they were in the past.

Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

范文1：Argument 1 (for)

Students today are more interested in politics than students were in the past. The methods of presenting politics to the general audience have changed. Now that it is more entertaining and easier to watch the progress of local and international events, students have a greater desire to follow political issues.

In the past, political issues were considered serious topics that needed to be treated with dignity and respect. That attitude has changed in recent years, so that now political events such as debates are colorful spectacles designed to engage and entertain. Politicians are often viewed asamusing and mocked by actors and the media. As a result, students enjoy seeing what antics the politicians are up to. This new attitude is a far cry from the dry, solemn tone of yesteryear.

Not only are political proceedings considered more entertaining, but they are also easier to access now than they were in the past. It is easy to look up issues on the internet or smart phones, so students can read about political events at any time. They do not have to buy a newspaper ordedicate a certain time to watching news on the television. Instead, they can read on the bus or while waiting to meet a friend. In fact, social media also rapidly spreads news about political events, allowing the news to reach millions more students than it would have in the past.

At the same time that technology makes news about politics more accessible, it encourages more awareness of events so that students do not feel left behind. Students want to follow issues so that they can converse in witty ways with their friends. They do not want to appear “out of the loop,” so they read up on what is happening. They take time to scan headlines and watch videos so that they are able to discuss such things with their peers.

Today, politics are presented as diverting and entertaining. New technology makes it easier for students to access news. In turn, students have more of a desire to learn about the news so they can keep up with their friends. As a result, students today follow politics much more than they did in the past.

范文2：Argument 2 (against)

In the past, students were more aware of political issues than they are today. Most students today are raised in an environment that does not encourage insightful analysis of local and world events. Although technology has increased the availability of news, it does not mean that students regularly access it.

First, students lack the encouragement to interpret the news that they see. In the past, families often watched political news together around their single television. After seeing the news, they might argue different sides of the issue and analyze the ramifications of the decisions. Families sitting around the dinner table would invariably discuss politics. However, these opportunities are greatly reduced because families have more than one television, allowing members to view completely different shows. Very few families today sit down for a dinner with all members present. The structure of the home has changed so that students are not encouraged to participate in discussions about politics.

Second, priorities have changed so that students don’t have time or don’t want to watch politics. Why pay attention to dry, boring news when there are social media and extremely engaging video games? Students would prefer to gossip with friends about school and peers rather than discuss details of law and commerce. In the past, if students were not outside playing, they were isolated at home, leaving them with little to do other than pick up the newspaper and read events. However, today students can message friends or become absorbed in the internet, options that let them pursue other things than politics.

Finally, the way news is presented leaves students less educated about political events than they were in the past. Today, news is given as short, catchy headlines or video shots. For example, students may get a brief look at the highlight of a debate, but they do not understand the background or implications of the decision. They may see the funny moment when a politicianmakes a verbal slip, but they do not have any context for it. The current trend of making politics amusing is shifting the population’s awareness from a thoughtful analysis of politics to a humorous anecdote without a framework of reference.

Students today are not nearly as aware of political issues as they were in the past. Changing family structures, priorities, and news presentation methods have turned the tide towards a more superficial understanding of politics.
