托福獨立寫作的開頭最重要是亮明立場,我們一定要在考前準備好讓人眼前一亮的開頭,并且搞清楚如何針對不同的題目進行調整,保證不論見到任何題目都能夠在2-3分鐘之內把開頭準確的砸上去。千萬不要擔心開頭背一個通用模板會影響自己的成績。根據以往的出分可以放心告訴大家,考30分的同學開頭也有使用模板,而且并不復雜。
開頭1
Recently an interesting question has been attached much concern to: is there any correlation between cleaning one’s room and success? Answers vary from one person to another. Some claim that students keeping their rooms neat and organized are more likely to be successful, while others oppose the idea that cleaning up the room has something to do with success. To my way of thinking, students who have the habit of keeping their rooms clean and tidy are more inclined to succeed than those who do not. My viewpoint is based on the following reasons.
這是一個非常經典的開頭,包括背景+爭議+立場。背景是通過 Recently an interesting question has been attached much concern to 這個句型來引出,意為近來一個有趣的問題得到了很多的關注。緊接著通過答案因人而異 Answers vary from one person to another 引出爭議。接下來通過Some claim以及while others oppose the idea闡述具體的不同的觀點是什么。最后通過To my way of thinking來引出自己的觀點,并且利用My viewpoint is based on the following reasons來承上啟下。
開頭1的示范
Nowadays people are more willing to help others who they do not know (for example giving food or clothing) than they were in the past. [2016年12月3日考題]
Recently an interesting question has been attached much concern to: are people nowadays more willing to help others [1]? Answers vary from one person to another. Some claim that people at present are more likely to lend a hand to others [2], while others oppose the idea. To my way of thinking, I am inclined to agree with the former or the latter [3]. My viewpoint is based on the following reasons.
首先在1空和2空我們對題目進行轉述,在第3空我們?yōu)榱吮苊鈱︻}目進行再一次的轉述,我們可以直接用 the former or the latter 這樣的表達來亮明自己的立場,畢竟不是每個人都能把題目很快的而且還很好的轉述三次的。
It is easier to become an educated person today than it was in the past?[2016年11月26日考題]
Recently an interesting question has been attached much concern to: is it easier for people today to become educated than in the old days? [1] Answers vary from one person to another. Some claim that receiving an education of higher quality has been becoming much easier not only because of economic boom but also because of the advancement in technology, [2] while others oppose the idea. To my way of thinking, I am inclined to agree with the former or the latter. [3] My viewpoint is based on the following reasons.
1空我們依然是將題目變成了一個一般疑問句,其實就是調整一下語序。這個可操作性還是很強的。第2空這次寫的稍微復雜一點點,不僅對題目進行了轉述,也順便給出了正文中會涉及到的兩個原因。給出原因的時候我們用not only because of A but also of B 的結構,正好對應中間的兩個主體段的理由。第三空不變,依然是利用the former or the latter 表明自己的立場。
開頭2
As is known to all, arts and athletics play irreplaceable and indispensable roles in people’s life for the former nurtures a sound mind while the latter guarantees a sound body. And recently there has been a heated debate on whether arts or athletics should be allocated more financial funds to. This debate divides people into two camps with opposite opinions, and as far as I’m concerned, athletics deserves more funding from government than arts does due to its greater significance. My reasons and examples are given below.
跟開頭1類似,這個也是一個背景+爭議+立場的開頭,只是表達和開頭1相比有所變化而已。首先我們第一句話可以利用這樣的句式來引入背景:A and B play irreplaceable and indispensable roles in people’s life for the former A的好處 while the latter B的好處。 緊接著我們通過 Recently there has been a heated debate on whether 來引出題目。接下來利用 This debate divides people into two camps with opposite opinions 來引出爭議。最后通過 as far as I’m concerned 亮明自己的立場,并且利用 My reasons and examples are given below. 過渡到正文。
開頭2的示范
Governments should focus more on preservation of environment rather than economic development. [2009年3月22日]
As is known to all, economy and environment play irreplaceable and indispensable roles in people’s life for the former ensures a decent life while the latter guarantees a sound body. And recently there has been a heated debate on whether economy or environment should be allocated more financial funds to. This debate divides people into two camps with opposite opinions, and as far as I’m concerned, environment deserves more funding from government than economy does due to its greater significance. My reasons and examples are given below.
本題在改寫的時候比較簡單,我們只需要把 athletics 換成 economy 把 arts 換成 environment 即可,至于兩者的好處如果需要調整的話也得進行相應的變化。畢竟我們不能說經濟滋養(yǎng)健康的心靈。在套現成的東西的時候大家一定要把每一個該換的地方都換掉,千萬不要搞出笑話。
Do you agree or disagree, it is a waste of money for government to fund space travel. [2015年10月11日]
As is known to all, space technology play irreplaceable and indispensable roles in a country’s successful development for a country’s competitiveness in space exploration represents its national power. And recently there has been a heated debate on whether space travel should be allocated financial funds to. This debate divides people into two camps with opposite opinions, and as far as I’m concerned, the exploration of outer space deserves the funding from government due to its great significance. My reasons and examples are given below.
由于開頭涉及到兩個元素而本題只有一個元素,所以在改寫的時候我們要去掉一個,同時也要去掉所有關于比較的部分,比如第一句我們去掉了 the former and the the latter,而后面我們也去掉了有 than 以及 er 的表達。
看了咱們的開頭的講解以及示范之后相信大家對于開頭部分應該比較自信了,接下來強烈建議大家花點兒心思把這兩個開頭背下來。當然啦,挑一個背也是可以的。最重要的多找?guī)讉€題目進行套用練習,確保自己會針對不同題目進行更改。
