托福满分作文-范文赏析:
Nowadays, as the world is progressing more quickly than before, trying to acquire a variety of information based on solid and trustworthy resources is getting more and more important. Therefore, I strongly agree that to be well-informed, people should obtain sufficient knowledge through diverse news supplies.
Firstly, a large amount of news resources enable people to receive updated news happened within the shortest time. Living in an information-explosion era, people have to absorb adequate knowledge to be sure that they can keep up with the changing pace of society. Thanks to the internet and the portable devices invented, we can browse any news pages at our convenient time. I have subscribed to a wide range of news suppliers focused on different areas, for instance, New York Times, Thomas Reuters and CnBeta, a famous website for the latest technology information. As a result, I gain full knowledge of what the newest development is around the world.
Secondly, with enough resources, I can have an all-round picture of the news because the story being developed varies from different reporters with different personal perspectives. Once in the course of news writing, we were asked to write a piece of news about a fire based on several raw materials. After reviewing the work of other students, I was surprised to realize that the contents of the reports ranged from rescue to the consequences caused by the disastrous fire. Likewise, the news, either from newspaper or the internet, demonstrates a certain part of a story. Thus, we need to obtain the whole story from different resources.
Thirdly, plenty of news supplies can help us distinguish which news is more reliable. Even though making mistakes should be avoided when reporting a piece of news, it still happens frequently because news agencies produce enormous information every day and they would never make sure each single piece of news is 100 percent right, let alone to say that in some circumstances the sources of the news are partially incorrect or being obscured. I have encountered some news, of which the statistics included are just round numbers instead of precise ones, or the quotes being used are said by people who heard about the story instead of the witnesses. News with mistakes or unclear information will give rise to wrong decisions which affect people adversely.
In conclusion, getting information from many different news sources plays an essential role for people to be well-informed.
托福作文满分要素剖析:
一、 语言表达
本文多用长句,句子当中出现了很多插入语和从句,让句子显得节奏非常紧凑,信息非常丰富。而用词方面,作者多使用正式的词语,让整篇文章读来文采飞扬,令人印象深刻。而本文最突出的特点是写作的角度。整篇文章一直站在自己的角度,没有出现多次改换分析角度的情况。并且提供的实例也是依据自己的经历写的,这样的写法让文章说服力更强。
1. Nowadays, as the world is progressing more quickly than before, trying to acquire a variety of information based on solid and trustworthy resources is getting more and more important. 本句使用了as 表伴随的用法介绍背景,和我们常用的with结构可以进行替代。主句中的主语是完整的句子,整个is之前的部分都是句子的主语,让本来用两句话才能说明的事情用一句话就足以说清了。
2. Secondly, with enough resources, I can have an all-round picture of the news because the story being developed varies from different reporters with different personal perspectives. 本句篇幅很长,但是结构清楚。首先用with结构表明了条件,之后又嵌套了because引导的原因状语从句。Perspective表示角度。
二、 逻辑结构
本文采用了总分总的结构。首先提出总的观点,同意题目中提出的人应该通过多种渠道了解新闻的论点。之后用三个并列的段落分别从最快地获取新闻;从各个角度了解新闻;分辨新闻更可靠三个方面证明了总论点,并用自己的观点加以证明。最后总结重申了总观点。
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,
