近几年来,大陆托福考生年龄趋向低龄化,学生往往缺乏一定现实生活经验累积,写出的细节例子常常泛泛而谈,语言空洞,没有实际经验的支持,又没有一定数字的支撑,读来“假大空”,没有任何说服力。然而,文章假如没有细节举例,或者缺乏有力的例证,往往会导致分数很低。
托福官方指南关于例证部分评分有如下要求:
Score task description
1 ittleor no detail or irrelevant specifics
那么,要如何才能为主题句列举出详实生动的例子使得主体段落有理有据呢?老师们常常听说读写不分家,意思是说,写出一篇好的作文和日常阅读积累的素材分不开,既然学生没有一定亲身实践经验,没有行过“万里路”,那么何不尝试“破万卷书”?这总能够弥补经验不足的缺陷。
接下来老师会根据
请看例子
以这个宠物类话题为例:Do you agree or disagree? More people are spending money on pets, even though they can be other good ways to spend money?
假设我们的立场和分论点如下:
反对立场:
Main point:pampering pets nowadays becomes a popular trend among people in different social status.
Sub-point: peoplewho possess an upscale lifestyle really enjoy spending money on pampering pets.
接下来我们需要用一个例子来证明:对于一些有钱人来说,给宠物花钱是享受,这和花钱旅行一样的“合理”。接下来,老师给同学们介绍一个素材,原文是这样的,
阅读完材料后,大家会发现,平时积累素材时,学会extract 有效信息是非常重要的,然后抽取出人物、时间、事件(一到两句话概括)。最后请记住,将举例带来的影响进行一句话总结。
将细节举例整理如下:
To those who have extra enough money to pamper pets, the pleasure gotten from spending money on pets is not a little less than gained from travelling or buying a favorite thing. For example, Chinese billionaire’s son Wang Sicong who had bought a 700-pound Fendi purse for his pooch. And Wang bought two apple watches for the husky. Therefore, after buying only basic necessities, some wealthy people will spend money on pets to befit their social status.
