托福写作是托福考试很重要的部分，特别是托福独立写作，想要在托福写作上考出好成绩，就一定不要在不能犯错的地方犯错，Something you don't know about TOEFL,independent Writing(重庆新航道托福写作教研中心)。

误区1:托福独立写作字数越多越好,好的500字以上

实际上:托福写作并不像雅思写作一样有明确的under-lengthpenalty，要求是300字以上，但更重要的判分标准在于语言本身。

你需要:写完一篇结构完整且论证合理充分的文章，较低字数300字，如果时间实在不够，优先保证全文结构的完整性。在写作速度足够快的情况下，尽可能充分地使用例证或解释说明去提高论据的丰富性和合理性，自然而然字数就会增加。

Example:

If not continuing modern agricultural practices to feed the growing population all over the world. more severe problems.even riots. will spread over wider areasSince the shortage of food is sure to increase violence,it is almost unlikely to maintain socia stability in such society.Forinstance some countries may start wars over the access to food, and thus more people will be hurt than byenvironmental damage caused by modern agriculture. Considering about this stopping modern agricultural process could lead to more turbulence duetosocialinstability

上面这个段落一共89字，并不算多，但是每句话之间都能看到明确的连词或短语衔接上下文，结合了假设/因果/例证，就已经满足了评分标准当中“well organized and well developed,using clearly appropriate explanations.exemplificationsand/ordetails”的要求。

误区2:托福写作要写大长句,越长越复杂,就能拿越高的分数

实际上:语言的准确性和连贯性比句式的复杂性更重要，大多数同学反而会因为刻意写长句而出很多错误。

你需要:避免因为使用过长的句子而出现的明显语法错误;通过语意正确、语境合理的逻辑连词串联句子;可以换句式，但没必要无意义叠加。

Example:

冗余:Although organic farming reflects scientific advance and tends to improve soil quality and conservation of groundwater it is their waste of by-product of relentless urbanization like sewage and chemical residue devastates soil and groundwater at the most timein modern society.

修改:Although organic farming, which represents the achievement of scientific advance.tends to improve soil aualityand conservation of groundwater itis the waste including the by-product of relentless urbanization that devastates soil and wate system to thelargest extent.Sewage and chemical residue are typical examples of such pollution.

误区3:要用所谓的罕见词和高级词

实际上:“syntactic variety,appropriate word choice andidiomaticity”才是最重要的，使用同意和近义词，利用不同词性的变换，活用不同的词组去展现语言的丰富性才是拿分项。用了很难的自己都不太熟悉的词，反而出现语境和搭配错误，就得不偿失了。

Example:

However,although improvements in medicine and higher standards of living seem to have eliminated the difficulties past generations once encountereddifficulties in maintain good health still stand in the wav.Today's people are under more pressure and thus get more psychologically unhealthy,falling ill more easily compared with their counterparts in the past.Besides,economic and social developmentcomeshand in-hand with environmental deterioration and pollutionThe air we breathethe water we drink and the food we eat become heavily contaminated.As a matter of fact despite the better medication and treatment nowadaysincreased risks of different disease still make it harder for modern peopleto maintain good health

常用近义表达:

消除:eliminate,clearupwipe off/outremove污染:pollution,contamination

遇见/遭遇:encounter,comeacross,meet,run up against

障碍/阻碍:difficulty,obstacle,barrier,impediment;sth stand in the way恶化:deterioration，aggravation,exacerbation实际上:infact，asa matteroffactactually治疗:treatmentcuretherapy
