为了提高
Movies are popular all over the world. Explain why movies are so popular. Use specific reasons and example to support your answer.
One of the most popular pastimes today is movie-going. With what started as moving-picture shows has dramatically developed into an industry that spends millions upon millions of dollars while still turning a gigantic profit. (好像这不是能成为一个句子，应该跟以一句话在一起，with引导独立主格结构)Movies are so popular because they are the most fascinating and easiest escape means from increasing pressure, which comes from family, school, work, society, and so many other directions. Combined with acoustic and visual effect, movies are definitely more appealing than printed books for audiences who have exhausted themselves in the real world. It must have been much easier to see a movie than to read a novel, since all the audience should do is simple to sit there in a soft chair in the dark about 150 minutes. Captured, involved, the audience in a movie theater will forget everything but the story in action on the screen.
Movies have magic power to let people immerse themselves in fiction. The point is that almost everyone longs for the power of snapping his fingers(打响指) and seeing his wishes and dreams instantly granted. Everyone longs for eternity of love, many idealize about it but now in the theater it’s time to ‘feel’ it. Every move the character makes, every breath the character takes, all seem to happen around us, clearly tangible. On the screen, movies illustrate all aspects of love we can imagine: all aspects of love, from the mushy warm and fuzzy feelings we feel with our children and companion animals, to platonic love we have with friends and acquaintances, to the romantic soul-mate kind of love, to the agape of unconditional love, it’s the full gamut. Dramas are created in order for us to play out different sides of ourselves.
In short, movies are so popular because many can escape into the world of fantasy and live vicariously through the characters and in doing so, work out different feelings and emotions that they may not have the opportunity to confront in their ‘normal’ lives.
满分因素剖析
一、语言表达
本文的语言使用非常优美，用到了并列和排比句，是文章读起来很有美感。句式富于多变，长短句搭配合理，运用了大量从句和非谓语动词结构，使考官眼前一亮。而在用词上，文中词汇运用十分地道，表达生动，达到了画龙点睛的作用。
1. Movies are so popular because they are the most fascinating and easiest escape means from increasing pressure, which comes from family, school, work, society, and so many other directions. 此句中，which引导定语从句，修饰pressure。family, school, work, society, and so many other directions是一种常见的并列结构，可用于托福
即A和B属于C，格式为A，B and other Cs
2. Combined with acoustic and visual effect, movies are definitely more appealing than printed books for audiences who have exhausted themselves in the real world. Combined with... 是由非谓语动词引导的伴随结构，这里用来解释原因。托福
3. Captured, involved, the audience in a movie theater will forget everything but the story in action on the screen. 此句中，captured, involved两个非谓语动词单独出现，引导伴随结构，可以很简明的表示原因，结果，时间，等状语。
4. Every move the character makes, every breath the character takes, all seem to happen around us, clearly tangible. 本句中用到了两个every开头的排比，两句句式对仗，读上去朗朗上口。内容上，表达的比较诗意，可以翻译成“一颦一笑，历历在目”。
5. The point is that almost everyone longs for the power of snapping his fingers(打响指) and seeing his wishes and dreams instantly granted. 此句是一个表语从句，表语从句放在系动词之后，充当复合句中的表语。在写作中，可以用表语从句来表示原因，代替because：如：The reason is that ... 也可以用来阐释建议：如My suggestion is that you should...
二、逻辑结构
文章属于原因解释型。与常见的五段不同的是，文章只有三段，是一个两点的论证方式。开头段后半部分包含分论点及观点阐释。这种第一段的写法在托福考试中非常罕见，如果观点阐释不明确，容易变成一个冗长的开头，而中间论证部分也会相对单薄。因此，本人还是推荐将开头段与第一个分论点分开，这样在结构上一目了然。当然，从这篇文章中我们也可以看出，托福满分作文并不是必须要三个及三个以上的论点。本文论点虽少，但两个论点很独立，论证也十分清晰，所以会得到高分。在托福写作中，如果遇到一些不好写的题目，或者时间不够，与其说东拼西凑找到三个，还不如效法本文采用两段论证法，把每个论点充分论证。
