One of the best ways that parents can help their teenage children prepare for adult life is to encourage them to take a part-time job.
托福满分作文-范文赏析:
Before a teenager becomes a young adult and earns their own living, his or her parents must help them to prepare for future life so that they can become totally independent. There must be many ways to help these ambitious young people, but in my point of view, part-time jobs should be the most appropriate way to help them. By taking part-time jobs at a young age, the young generation can be incorporated into the society without suffering.
By taking part-time jobs, teenagers can appreciate hard working and cherish the money they have made. Therefore, in the future, they are more likely to become hard-working adults and know how to do finance management. Take myself as an example. I used to be very lazy and usually wasted my pocket money on useless things. But one summer vacation, I took a part-time job as a tutor. It was not an easy job because the kid I taught was really naughty and the weather was really hot, but finally I got good pay. After that, I did not waste any money, and I knew the value of hard-working.
Additionally, by taking some part-time jobs, teenagers will learn some useful communicating techniques. This is very essential since we all live in a society and we have to communicate with different kinds of people almost every day. One of my friends took a part-time job as a waiter. He had to deal with a lot of different situations and had to cater for different customers. Time passed, he became very good at communicating with different people, but in the past he was really shy and unwilling to speak to strange people! The part-time job helped to lift him to a new height.
Moreover, since teenagers accumulate useful experiences from part-time jobs, they are more likely to gain success in their future career. In addition, sometimes taking part-time jobs may offer teenagers good opportunities. My sister, when she was a junior, took a part-time job in a big company. During that time, her hard work and intelligence impressed her boss. Then her boss gave her an offer and after her graduation, she became one of the employees of the big company. Now she makes a very good living and works happily in this company. Chances are invaluable and we need to find ways to get the chances.
So, to conclude, though there may be other ways, I believe that taking part-time jobs will be the best way to prepare a teenager to be an ambitious adult. Parents who plan to help their teenagers prepare for future life can take part-time jobs into consideration.
托福作文满分要素剖析:
一、 语言表达
本文长短句结合,错落有致,流畅自然。亮点在于对每个具体事例的分析。作者使用了多种手法进行分析,例如假设推理、因果推理等等,对事例分析的非常到位。而作者的用词较为普通,准确合理即可。
1. Moreover, since teenagers accumulate useful experiences from part-time jobs, they are more likely to gain success in their future career. Accumulate和Gain两个动词用的非常精彩。准确的动宾搭配一定会是托福考试中的加分要素之一。
2. The part-time job helped to lift him to a new height. Lift sb to a new light把谁带到了新的高度。是值得借鉴的短语。
二、 逻辑结构
本段采用了总分总的逻辑结构。首段提出总论点,兼职工作是帮助年轻人的最好方式。中间三段并列,提出了兼职工作的三条好处,并用三个事例进行了证明。最后总结重申了观点。
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,
