英語寫作四大難關怎么跨？各類話題一句搞定

　　1.英語基本功

　　在寫作備考中要有計劃地，再合理地把詞匯量增加。多讀范文，若考試時間更接近了，能夠選擇使用背誦范文的方法，雖然辛苦一點，但是還是有效的。曾經(jīng)一位哲學家講過這樣一個故事，表示人的一生都會面對下面的5個名詞：愛人、家庭、工作、健康、朋友 (lover, family, career, health, friend )。打個比方，若將這5個方面比喻成為五個球的話，而只有健康屬于玻璃球，另外的4個全都是橡皮球，即使不小心弄掉了，還是會反彈回來，而健康卻是一旦落地，滿盤皆輸，沒有任何辦法補救。聽過這樣的故事，你不但很容易弄懂其中的道理，這幾個英文單詞也不會離你遠去了。

　　2.中文式的翻譯

　　有些句子也許只有中國人才可以理解意思是什么，追究原因即是生硬地翻譯了漢語表達方式。受漢語文化影響，我們博大精深的語言在大家的腦子里完全的扎根，而人的邏輯思維卻十分的奇怪，只要大家每天的思維習慣已經(jīng)養(yǎng)成，那么是難以在短期里進行改變。外國人逐漸的又崇拜漢文化，最初在學習我們的語言，孔子學院也應因而生，這對推廣我們的文化是好的，但是托?？荚囀菍τ⒄Z的測試，只有26個字母。我見過很多有趣的中文式的翻譯，比如把“黑社會”翻譯成“black society”，還有把“八卦”說成“eight hang”的，等等。

　　建議多聽，當然是聽英文。學語言的順序必須是聽說讀寫，聽即是針對語境與語感一個好的提升，考生能夠盡量的尋找一些英文的短片來欣賞，當學習英語的同時還能娛樂了自己，一舉兩得。

　　3.套路化痕跡明顯

　　這里的套路，就是templates。大部分老師當授課過程里有意的寫作套路突出，而學生同樣用盡辦法背誦寫作套路，導致展現(xiàn)在閱卷官面前的作文框架甚至很多語句千篇一律、如出一轍，最后把分數(shù)影響了。模板固然有用，但對于first draft的觀念，文章的亮點就看不到了。

　　建議考生能夠暫時把托?？荚嚪畔拢瑥腷log或者日記開始，每天都使用英文做托福寫作練習，盡可能的將自己對社會的情緒和對學校的不滿寫出來，發(fā)泄出來。此練習會使大家的文章逐漸符合first draft的要求。

　　4.通篇框架散亂

　　此要求在練習里慢慢的提升。我們在寫作之前，特別是對于task2，關鍵的工作即是構(gòu)思。一般來說，在3-4分鐘時間之內(nèi)，大家要求有一個相對合理的構(gòu)思與一個絕對穩(wěn)定的結(jié)構(gòu)，如果兩者都做到了，整個文章的框架就自然很清晰了。

　　通?？忌霈F(xiàn)文章框架混亂會有下面的原因：有些并未做完整的審題和構(gòu)思練習，文章寫的內(nèi)容與結(jié)構(gòu)都十分的凌亂;還有的是文章結(jié)構(gòu)很好，但當大家構(gòu)思時太過匆忙或者緊張，論證不夠完整，舉例也不合理。這些也是一般中國考生在考試中最常出現(xiàn)的問題。　　

　　下面，小編就為大家整理了托福獨立題目中常涉及到的概念并給出難易適度的定義。無論是開頭(“天下大勢”型)還是主體段落(“explanation”部分中的“下定義”工具)都能祭出這招，而且用的得當?shù)脑?，效果非常不錯，也可以有效填充文章內(nèi)容。
