托福满分作文-范文赏析：
When we look back on the old days, we are amazed by the tremendous development that we have made. Seeing all the things we possess today, comparing to the former generations, indeed, life is easier and more comfortable today rather than the days when our grandparents were children. I would like to reinforce my opinion with following aspects.
First of all, we live in a world that is so peaceful. Decades ago, peace was such a desirable word for people around the world that they could only make dreams of it day and night. When I was a little girl, my grandmother always liked to tell me stories of what happened during her childhood. She said that they always had to settle from one place to another to find a secure place to shelter. Moreover, every night they went to sleep with the companion of sound unuttered by guns or some other weapons. It seems that the world was entirely colored by blood. The society was chaotic and people were all thrown in wholly panic and horror. Every time when my grandmother said these kinds of things, I could feel her sorrow and there were always tears in her eyes. How fortunate we are to be born in such at such a peaceful time that we do not need to bother with the security of our life.
On the other hand, we enjoy a much higher quality of life than our grandparents did. Several years ago it is a crucial problem to fill people's stomachs. Millions of people starved to death. Yet, today we have a large quantity species of food to choose, and there also careful parents who schedule the nutritious food table for us. Not only can we have enough food to eat, but also live in a healthier life style. Furthermore, there were not many recreations before; nowadays we have the access of computers, televisions and some other kinds of high technological products. Via these things, we can retain a colorful and vigorous life. For instance, if we miss some friends far away, we just need to make a phone call to contact with him or her instead of writing a long letter which would cost you several days or even weeks. For another example, they traveled long distances by foot which was so tedious while today we can travel by cars or even by planes to far away destinations. Obviously, life has become easier and more comfortable than generations ago.
In conclusion, people today have more happiness than before. Life is so decent and superb. As far as I am concerned, nowadays the only thing we need to do is to learn to cherish what we have possessed and endeavor to improve our society to a better world to live in. All people around the world should work hand in hand to build a harmonious world.
托福作文满分要素剖析:
一、 语言表达
本文长短句结合，读来错落有致，很有节奏感。作者使用了一些很生动的动词，比如enjoy, travel等，并且正确使用了动宾搭配，体现出了对词语的使用技巧。
1. I would like to reinforce my opinion with following aspects. 我会从以下方面来阐述我的观点。这句话可以作为模板在开头段使用。
2. Decades ago, peace was such a desirable word for people around the world that they could only make dreams of it day and night. 本句中嵌套了一个so… that… 如此以致于的结构，让句子逻辑更加清晰。而且make dream of it也是固定的用法，表示做梦。
3. Several years ago it is a crucial problem to fill people's stomachs. Millions of people starved to death. 这两句话的亮点就在于fill people’s stomach填饱肚子和starve to death饿到死亡之间是有关联的。并且都用了口语中常见的固定用法，体现出了作者的语言功底。
二、 逻辑结构
本文逻辑清晰，采用了经典的总分总结构。首先提出了自己的观点，我们的生活确实更好，中间段落分别从和平和生活品质好两个方面进行证明，并且每一点中还有分论点和实例，更清晰地表明了观点。最后进行总结重申，并升华了主题。
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，
