如果我两份中文写作,一份语言平平,通篇没有亮点之处。而另一篇则是妙语连珠,恰当地使用了几句成语,我们会认为哪一位考生的中文能力更有说服力呢? 答案是不言而喻的。英语习语以其精练、短小、幽默、风趣且富于哲理性的特征而广泛地被英、美国家的人们所接受并被广泛应用于人们的日常生活交际、报刊、杂志以及电视广播媒体之中。作为传承、记载文化与语言的基本工具之一,它在英、美国家人们的日常生活中起着举足轻重的作用。在英语行文中适当地使用习语不但可以避免千篇一律的表达,而且可以成为考官加分的重要因素。

那么,作为中国学生,怎样通过学习习语来提高自己的新托福写作呢?

托福写作真经提醒大家要多看原版英语报刊文章。比如在英国著名媒体Guardian中曾经发表过一篇文章US envoy to Iraq: ‘We have opened the Pandora‘s box‘ 中的第一句话〝The US ambassador to Baghdad conceded yesterday that the Iraq invasion had opened a Pandora‘s box‘ of sectarian conflicts which could lead to a regional war.〞很多同学可能看过后不知道这句话究竟是什么意思。是美国大使承认侵略伊拉克的行为打开了一个什么样的盒子吗?显然是不对的。其实,Pandora‘s box‘这个短语是一个英语传统习语,Pandora 原是希腊神话传说中从天宫下凡的人类第一个女性,Pandora’s box 之意表面上看来是贵重之物,而骨子里却是祸害,其含义为“万恶之源”、“造成极大混乱”。所以这句话的意思可以理解为驻扎巴格达的美国大使

昨日承认由美国发动的伊拉克战争造成了当地的宗教斗争。如果每天可以阅读一两篇原版的英语报刊文章,遇到类似于这样不会的习语查查字典,再整理到自己的笔记本里,这样的效果是非常好的。如果写作文的时候能加上这样一句,可以给文章增色不少。在20xx年10月份的托福考试中的独立写作部分的题目是〝Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? In twenty years there will be fewer cars in use than there in today?〞如果想赞成这句话的考生,想表达汽车是污染之源可以就这么写:〝Car is the Pandora’s box of pollution.〞这当然比〝Car is the cause of pollution〞高明很多。

托福作文考试中,英语习语只是起一个画龙点睛的作用,绝对不要大面积的使用。如果用的过于频繁会引起考官的反感。而且习语的难度比较高,很容易使用错误,成为失分点。因此,我们在应用英语习语时,不但要把习语用好,而且要用巧。

通过上面托福写作真经的介绍可以看出新托福写作是要求大家能活学活用的,如果考生能把生活中的好句子运用到托福作文中相信一定能有一个好结果。

第二篇:如何写出连贯的托福作文

Http://tiandaoedu.com

如何写出连贯的托福写作 托福独立写作的评分标准中, 明确提到了对于中间段落的一个要求就是“统一”,“递进”和“连贯”。非常抽象的三个专有名词,但却各有各含义。下面,天道教育和大家分享一篇托福写作文章,详细介绍一下“连贯”到底指的是什么,以及我们在写作当中要如何实现它。 首先,托福写作什么叫做连贯呢?就是当我们从一句话过渡到另一句话,或者从一个段落过渡到另一个段落时,觉察不到任何突兀,间隔或者是跳跃,就是连贯的。那么怎么达到这种“此时无声胜有声”的境界呢? 具体操作起来我们有四种方法。

一: 重复关键字。重复关键字是我们非常重要的一种表达连贯性的方法,一段当中的重点通过不断地重复而表达出来,段落就会显得很连贯。但为了避免重复变得无聊,我们就要在重复的过程中进行换词。常用的换词方法有同义词(比如:run, race, dash),代词(比如:operators…they),以及换词性(比如:independent, independence, independently)。下面这段OG当中的范文,虽然长度一般,但就在用不同的方式不断的重复我们这段的关键字“living independently”。

So living independently at an early age is not suitable for all young adults, some young adults may need to be ready to support themselves. Taking time to get more education and living with their families for a longer time may lead them to a better independent life because they will be well prepared for the hard-life outside. Still, living with their families for too long will not be a good idea because they could get used to it and tend to be less independent.

二:使用平行结构。在托福写作的时候,如果我们想表达连续的相似概念,平行结构就是上佳选择。此外,使用平行结构不仅可以使我们的句式更加整齐,还可以让我们的文章读起来更加连贯。

In any relationship of mine, I would wish that first of all, the person I’m dealing with is honest. Even though s/he thinks that s/he did something wrong that I wouldn’t like, s/he’d better tell me the truth and not lie about it. Later on if I find out about a lie or hear the truth from

someone else, that’d be much more unpleasant. In that case how can I ever believe or trust that person again? How can I ever believe that this person has enough confidence in me to forgive

him/her and carry on with the relationship from there? So if I cannot trust a person anymore, if the person doesn’t think I can handle the truth, there’s no point to continuing that relationship.

三: 保持主语的一致。在英文写作中,我们也有一条”潜规则“,就是一句话的主语应该与上一句话的主语或者宾语相呼应,如果一段话中的每一句话都和上一句的主语或者宾语没什么联系,读起来整段就很晦涩难懂,更别说连贯了。下面一段话我已经把各句的主语加斜黑体了,大家可以先试试能不能看懂。

One goes about trapping in this manner. At the very outset one acquire a “trapping” state of mind. A library of books must be read, and preferably someone with experience should educate the novice. Preparing for the first expedition takes several steps. The purchase of traps is first. A pair of rubber gloves, waterproof boots, and the grubbiest clothes capable of withstanding human use come next to outfit the trapper for his adventure. Finally, the decision has to be made on just what kinds of animals to seek, what sort of bait to use, and where to place the traps.

没怎么读懂是吧?没关系,不是你的错,是因为这篇文章太烂了。一段当中几乎每一句话的主语都在变,让人摸不着头脑它到底想说什么。等等,回想一下刚才我们讲的前两种表示连贯的方法:重复关键字和使用平行结构。这段有做到吗?赶紧返回去再找找看。

很好,我估计大家已经找到了。重复关键字和使用平行结构这两点在本段中都做得很好: 本段的关键字trapping,先后被换成了traps,trapper等;而平行结构的使用中,既有词的平行(A pair of rubber gloves, waterproof boots, and the grubbiest clothes),也有短语的平行(what kinds of animals to seek, what sort of bait to use, and where to place the traps)。但是,就因为本段每句话想表达的所有新信息都放到了主语上,所以读起来就非常不连贯。再读读下面这段,当改成都用统一的I作主语后,读起来就顺畅多了!

I went about trapping in this manner. To acquire a “trapping” state of mind, I read a library of books and talked at length with an experienced trapper, my father. Then I purchased the traps and outfitted myself by collecting a pair of rubber gloves, waterproof boots, and the grubbiest clothes capable of withstanding human use. Finally, I decided just what kinds of animals to seek, what sort of bait to use, and where to place my traps.

四:使用连接词。对于读者来说,连接词的作用就像一个桥梁,把已经读过的信息和将要读的新信息连接起来。托福写作无论是在句与句之间,还是段落与段落之间,它们都扮演者引导阅读者的作用,不容小觑。下面我给大家按分类列出了一些我们写作中常用的连接词, 这些连接词在我们英语中的其他三个方面听说读使用频率也非常高,那你还等什么,赶紧背会吧!

To show addition

And, also, besides, further, furthermore, in addition, moreover, next, too, second

To give examples

For example, for instance, to illustrate, in fact, specifically,a case in point is…,take…,…,for example,in particular,such as, like

To compare

再看一下下面这段我们OG上的范文,你找到它们的连接词和对应的功能了吗?

Now, suppose they passed the first make/break point. Then comes another one when they are going to marry. Normally, in the western culture, the man and the woman choose their marriage partners themselves, so this is not much of an important issue in the U.S. However, what about the cultures that predominantly have arranged marriages? In that case, choosing a husband or a wife could be a huge decision, because generally the marriages are not as easily broken as in the

western culture. Therefore, when it comes to this point, one would definitely want to know their parents’ thinking and their previous experience. This could come in very handy when one has a choice to make.
