托福满分作文-范文赏析：
The mutation of society has stirred homo sapiens transmutably. The empathy of bliss and indemnification among people has been affected by the various changes some of which seem novel and noble. Though the definition of happiness and satisfaction depends most on each particular individuals‘ understanding of the two aspects, I do cherish the fact that the swift pace at which the world is trekking seems plausible in making people feel blithe and satisfied.
It is imperative to note that technological advancement in different spheres like communication have breed greater happiness and satisfaction among people. Today, the agile change in communication has helped people relate with each other even within the widest of reach. Such enormous distance is no longer felt unlike ages past where a person simply had to wait for a letter for years on end. Such communication includes use of telephones, computers or even traveling to one's place by use of a plane. There can never be such happiness and satisfaction like being close to one's people even at the dimmest corner of the world.
Worthy mentioning is the superlative advancement in the medical arena in that people are less worried of many a disease because a number of them have been suffocated by superior medical facilities unlike in the past. Though a few diseases like cancer are still a social menace, many diseases can be healed and this makes life quite delightful and greatly gratifying. Never in a person's life is there any other greater wish than living longer. With such good medical facilities, man today is living a more gratifying life than people in the past. A swift change in medical spheres has evoked a swift change in decline of diseases.
Society today is abounding with sundry entertainment covering almost any aspect one can ever anticipate. Televisions, phones, theaters and a horde of sports activities do free people of their stress, make their minds light and thus infuse them with a fresh and jovial attitude that makes life worth living. Ages ago such technological entertainment on televisions and watching movies or listening to music on phones while on the go was a myth hardly being thought to be demystified.
Satisfaction is envisaged differently and a notion among different people is that satisfaction is having all that one requires in life, that is, people do look at material prowess as an exhibition of satisfaction. Society today is smeared with opulent people who are happy and extremely blissful despite the fast pace of life they live. Such a life gives them impetus to work harder and attain what they crave for. Most societies in the past lived a simple life of poverty. Despite the satisfaction of their simple life and the great social bonding, they did lack ample material wealth to make them happy.
Suffice to note, society today is more harmonious and peaceful than it was before when kings and rulers roamed the land to conquer other societies in a bid to expand their territories. In many countries, though life is quite hectic and cumbersome often times, one consolation people embrace is the peace and freedom they harbor. Living in colonies of harmonious people fosters happiness and self-satisfaction even when people are not that affluent.
By and large, I do emphatically say people today are more happy and satisfied than people ages back despite the rapid pace of life because of development in spheres like technology, the peace and harmony there is, an endless flow of entertainment and the fact that they can attain the basics of life. Though there are many that do cherish the old ways and actually are never affected by the mentioned views above, on a general note, life today is more joyous and satisfactory.
托福作文满分要素剖析:
一、 语言表达
本文多用长句，让每一句都含义丰富、信息饱满。作者使用了多种句式，包括强调句、倒装句等，句式富于变化，避免重复。而更体现作者语言功力的是作者的用词。作者全篇都使用了非常高级和正式的词汇，让文章生动形象，富有张力。唯一的不足就是中间的分论点条数太多，导致文章有些rundown的感觉，而每一条分论点给出的分析就略显单薄。建议能够去掉两条分论点，增加对每一个分论点的具体说明。
1. It is imperative to note that technological advancement in different spheres like communication have breed greater happiness and satisfaction among people. It is imperative to note that是一个固定句式，表示说什么是有必要的。Sphere本意为半球，此处表示方面。Breed本义为孕育，此处表示产生。
2. Satisfaction is envisaged differently and a notion among different people is that satisfaction is having all that one requires in life, that is, people do look at material prowess as an exhibition of satisfaction.本句的句式较为复杂。首先and表示并列，后半句的主句应当是a notion among different people is that，然后是一个宾语从句。That is作为插入语，是对前面所下的定义的解释。Look at … as表示把…视作…
3. By and large, I do emphatically say people today are more happy and satisfied than people ages back despite the rapid pace of life because of development in spheres like technology, the peace and harmony there is, an endless flow of entertainment and the fact that they can attain the basics of life. By and large是表示总结的逻辑连接词，我们今后可以学习借鉴。Emphatically表示强调。Despite尽管，表示让步。之后的because of + 名词性短语的形式是总结分论点的好方式，避免了句子的冗长。
二、 逻辑结构
本文是总分总的结构。文章首段写了总体观点，人们比以前更加快乐和满足。之后用五个分论点分别证明了总观点。最后进行总结重申。需要注意的是，本题的题目要求是要比较现在的人和过去的人哪种更幸福。因此不仅仅要谈到今天的人比较幸福，还要与过去进行对比，说明以前的人哪里不幸福，才能更好地证明今天的人更幸福。
网温馨提醒：考生们拿到托福作文试题，审题后，先决定总体思路，然后列出两三个具体的分论点，每个论点找出一些例子来说明。这里要注意例子的选择，尽可能生活化、生动化、形象化，不要太死板，
