托福满分作文-范文赏析：
Travelling can expand one’s outlook, amplify one’s experience and help one make many new friends. It could be a superb lesson in one’s life. If I have adequate time and money to plan my tour, I prefer a foreign country tour.
Foreign life can serve various life experience and lifestyles which are hardly acquired in domestic life. In an identical social and environmental circumstance, people generally have relatively familiar and similar views and experiences. The distinction is, if any, slight. If people do not go abroad, they can rarely obtain refreshing ideas. For example, some people who come from highly industrialized countries with high welfare, tend to take free healthcare and education for granted, but if they have a foreign tour in impoverished countries or regions where food is almost far from enough, not to mention schooling, they can get a precious lesson: Cherish one’s own life and help someone who needs help.
Oversea travels can provide broader choices. As far as I know, some countries are as small as one common city of the United States. In such countries, if people refuse oversea journey, they have to repeat their footprints time and time again. On the other hand, some countries are located on some lonely islands without forests and all the fish comes from the sea, if these residents want to ride a horse in the plain or taste freshwater fish, they have to travel abroad.
Besides, the exotic landscape and custom are more curious and attractive than familiar ones. Generally speaking, people are curious; they prefer acquiring purely refreshing experiences, rather than relatively familiar or even well-known ones. The foreign lifestyle, food and scenery are always far more different from one’s domestic experience, which is the key factor to deeply satisfy people’s curiosity.
In conclusion, a foreign tour can afford more various life experiences, more options, and highly satisfies people’s curiosity. These advantages appeal to us. Needless to say, these are the contributing factors as to why more and more people would like to travel abroad.
托福作文满分要素剖析:
一、 语言表达
本文使用了长短句结合的句式结构，让文章的节奏感非常好。尤其是第二段中the distinction和for example两句，长短结合，先概括后具体，很好地反映出了作者对于文字的驾驭能力。而在用词方面，作者以常用用法为主，偶尔使用的高级词汇让人眼前一亮，不失为一篇考场佳作。
1. Travelling can expand one’s outlook, amplify one’s experience and help one make many new friends. 本句是文章的首句，在开头就用了三个精彩的动宾搭配让考官眼前一亮，吸引了读者的阅读兴趣。expand one’s outlook开阔眼界, amplify one’s experience增加经验 and help one make many new friends交很多朋友。
2. The distinction is, if any, slight. 本句虽然篇幅不长，但是非常精彩。首先，作者使用了插入语，主句本来是the distinction is slight，而插入了if any之后，更表明了差异的小。而且这个插入语让句子之间多了一些停顿，节奏感更强。
3. For example, some people who come from highly industrialized countries with high welfare, tend to take free healthcare and education for granted, but if they have a foreign tour in impoverished countries or regions where food is almost far from enough, not to mention schooling, they can get a precious lesson: Cherish one’s own life and help someone who needs help. 本句是一个长句。首先作者使用了一个定语从句加伴随结构，修饰了句子主语some people，之后又用了转折，用这些人做主语写了一个句子，嵌套了一个where引导的状语从句，描述了countries or regions，最后用冒号加句子的形式具体指明了lesson的内容。可以说是把三到四句话才能说清的事情用一句话进行了说明，体现出作者扎实的语言功底。
二、 逻辑结构
本文使用了考场作文经典的总分总结构。首先提出了自己的观点，更喜欢在国外旅行。然后用三个并列的段落，分别提出了在国外旅行的三点好处，即获得更广泛的生活体验;获得更广泛的选择;感受异域风情。最后进行总结重申。每个分论点都使用了对比、举例、演绎等方式证明，让文章流畅自然，结构清晰。
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，
