托福满分作文-范文赏析：
People in our times have more opportunities to succeed but they also have to face more fatal competition. Success in our society requires extraordinary efforts in addition to an element of luck and some social network since we are living in an age that emphasizes team work and cooperation. Weighing the importance of social network against hard work, I believe we have to be very clear about which field we are talking before we make a conclusion on which side is more important.
When it comes to the field of commerce and management, for example, social relationship plays a crucial role because success in this field requires a profound insight into what people are really thinking or what is really expected of us to behave in the society, explicitly and implicitly. In particular, China is a miraculous land where amazing things are happening all the time, most of which are rather inexplicable. Therefore, studying hard at school alone is insufficient. The school, or the teachers, may not be able to teach you everything, be it explicit know-how or implicit rules. On the contrary, you might continue to learn in the society when you realize that what you acquired at school is inadequate to handle the real-life issues because no one is too old to learn.
In education, similarly, being a good teacher requires you to have a good understanding of the students’ characteristics and their special needs in order to establish some intimate relationship, or rapport, with them, which is of vital importance to the final outcome of students’ learning and academic performance. Leo, my TOEFL oral English teacher, for example, is extensively regarded as a good teacher who knows how to improve our scores in TOEFL by finding numerous ways to relate to us. He virtually remembers every detail, every anecdote of us and makes good use of these for classroom interaction.
In terms of career success in the field of technological applications, such as mechanics, doctors and translators, I believe that professional qualification is of greater significance. In the field of literary creation, authors must demonstrate sufficient living experience but also need to maintain a detached perspective on life so as to guarantee their objectiveness and comprehensiveness. In some cases, the capacity of relating well to other people can prove to be counterproductive when it blinds their judgment. Therefore, the importance of relating well with other people should not be over emphasized or over generalized.
As an 18-year-old senior high school student capable of critical thinking, I think this is an open question. We should encourage students to study hard at school and at the same time, remind them of the importance of relating well with other people. This is the way out indeed.
托福作文满分要素剖析:
一、 语言表达
本文多用长句，每句话中信息量丰富，体现出了作者严谨的写作风格。在用词方面，作者使用了不同的关联词，将句子连接起来，体现出了更强的逻辑关系。
1. People in our times have more opportunities to succeed but they also have to face more fatal competition.本句是文章的开头句。首先作者用了后置定语in our times限定了people这个主语，之后用but转折词把两个分句并列起来。Fatal一词用的也很精彩，意思是致命的，使竞争一次更加生动了。
2. When it comes to the field of commerce and management, for example, social relationship plays a crucial role because success in this field requires a profound insight into what people are really thinking or what is really expected of us to behave in the society, explicitly and implicitly. 本句篇幅很长。首先when it comes to是固定句式，表示“关于，讨论到”，引出了话题。For example是插入语。主句之后嵌套了一个because引导的原因状语从句。A profound insight into表示“对于XXX的深刻认识”，也是十分精彩的一种用法。最后explicit and implicit表示显性的和隐性的，修饰的是expected表示显性表现和隐性表现。
3. In education, similarly, being a good teacher requires you to have a good understanding of the students’ characteristics and their special needs in order to establish some intimate relationship, or rapport, with them, which is of vital importance to the final outcome of students’ learning and academic performance. Similarly表示“相似地”，是一个插入语。主句中有一个and的并列句，and后省略了have a good understanding of。而中间的or rapport也是一个插入语，短语本身是establish relationship with。最后用一个非限制性定语从句修饰了整个主句，表明了重要性。
二、 逻辑结构
本文是一个总分总的结构。首段点明了自己的观点，即根据不同领域的工作决定社会关系和学业成就哪一种更重要。之后三段并列，分别从广告和管理领域、教育领域和技术领域三方面的不同要求证明了总论点，最后进行总结。需要特别注意的是作者的总结段采用了发散的方式，并非对分论点的简单总结，也是可以使用的一种结尾方式。
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，
