托福独立写作题型如何突破,新航道重庆学校第66期托福写作教研带你深入了解:托福独立写作三选一题型(Environment))解答思路。
1.三选一题型考频
三选一的题型在独立写作中虽然算相对较新的,但近几年的考频也不低在2021的托福独立写作当中,三选一的问法占到了23.6%,在2022年1-11月也出现了10次。与二选一和同意与否类的题型相比,三选一题型的架构其实是类似的,其中微妙的不同就是需要照顾到三个选项,让步的内容要稍微多一些大家在练习的过程中还是以四段或五段式的结构去完成就好。
2.本次我们来讲一下环境类话题的常见破题思路和典型例题环境类话题在独立写作当中出现的频率不算太高,但是在三选一的题型当中以固定频率出现,并且大同小异,我们只要熟悉典型环境类话题的素材,基本上就不会出现无话可写或者找不到驳论的问题。先来看一个反复出现过的“生活-环境向”考题
难度:三颗星
What is the most useful action for people to help the environment in theirlocalcommunities?
1.Plant trees and create parks;
2. Persuade local shops to stop providing plastic bags for consumers;
3.Increase access to public transportation (such as buses and trains)and reduce the automobiles on roads.
这道题给出了三个选项,我们在选其中一个支持的时候也不能忘记讨论其他两个选项。能看到题干的关键词是”people,environment and loca communities”,要求讨论对于普罗大众而言,是植树建公园、停止提供塑料袋、还是增加公共交通比较好。每个方法都各有利弊,大家选择自己能想到最多优点的那个作为正论对象就好。下面以表格的形式列出了各选项的利弊,无论大家选择哪一个,都不会出现没有论据的现象:
假设我们选择plant trees and create parks,那么根据论点+论据的结构
可以组出以下段落:
1.It is conducive to both natural and living environment in a city i more trees are planted and more parks are constructed.
2.Apparentlya larger area of trees absorb more carbon dioxide and release oxygen so that air is cleaner, while more green lands also provide some habitats to certain animals living in cities, such as rabbits and birds. As a result, citizens could breathe fresh air so as to avoid respiratorvdiseases caused by air pollution, and the ecosystem has a chance to be improved.
3.Besides, building more parks is providing more places for people to spend their leisure time, like having a walk with family members and jogging regularly together with friends.
4.From this aspect, trees and parks enable the public to enjoy the beauty of nature in cities, have the likelihood to improve their health as well as gain greater living quality.
先利用特定句型或连词引出具有概括性的、能点题的论点句,然后用两个细节论据@O去解释论点,其中涉及到的所有逻辑连词,比如因果和举例,都已经高亮标记了出来。@这句可以看作是一个小的段落总结句,也是有一点技巧性的,需要做到重申但不重复表述。
我们再换一个政府-环境类的练习
2022.6.25 难度四颗星
What is the most important action for the government to take for the protection ofenvironmentalproblems?
1.fund researches on new energy sources such as solar and wind power
2.protect forests and natural wildlife species
3.pass and enforce laws to reduce the pollution
论点和论据同样给大家列举出来了,可以试一试选择其中一个选项完成段落:
最后大家可以尝试一下这个偏个人向的环境类考题,先列举素材,再构建段落:
2021.6.20难度三颗星
