對(duì)于很多正在備考托福的同學(xué)們,托福的寫(xiě)作能力現(xiàn)在怎么樣呢?下面就和出國(guó)留學(xué)網(wǎng)的小編來(lái)看看怎樣提高托福考試寫(xiě)作能力?來(lái)一起了解一下吧。
技能提升
一 要有一定的英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法基礎(chǔ)
新托福寫(xiě)作對(duì)于語(yǔ)法要求不高,在懂得主謂賓正常的構(gòu)句規(guī)則的基礎(chǔ)上,加上對(duì)各種從句以及幾個(gè)特殊句式(強(qiáng)調(diào)句、倒裝句)的運(yùn)用,就可以應(yīng)付托福寫(xiě)作了。
二 文章結(jié)構(gòu)
托福寫(xiě)作通常是魚(yú)骨頭(Fish Bone)式寫(xiě)作。這樣的結(jié)構(gòu)就是最為普遍的議論文結(jié)構(gòu),開(kāi)頭段+中間三段+結(jié)尾段。千萬(wàn)不要小看這樣的結(jié)構(gòu),以為這樣的結(jié)構(gòu)過(guò)于簡(jiǎn)單,過(guò)于八股。其實(shí),新托福寫(xiě)作考查的也就是考生是否會(huì)熟練運(yùn)用這樣的結(jié)構(gòu)去表達(dá)自己對(duì)一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)的看法。想了解托福寫(xiě)作題目的相關(guān)信息,請(qǐng)關(guān)注智課!
三 語(yǔ)言上要有多樣性
新托??荚囌f(shuō)到底,還是在考查學(xué)生的語(yǔ)言能力。文章結(jié)構(gòu)就是一個(gè)人的骨架,那么剩下來(lái)的工作就是需要往這具空空的骨架中添加進(jìn)生動(dòng)的血肉,這就是我們的語(yǔ)言了。新托福寫(xiě)作考試對(duì)于考生的語(yǔ)言水平最基本的要求是沒(méi)有太多的語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤,也就是考生所犯的語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤不會(huì)影響到文章的理解。在這個(gè)基礎(chǔ)上,新托??荚囘€要求學(xué)生會(huì)熟練運(yùn)用一些句式、詞匯,使文章看起來(lái)很native。
四 意中西方文化的差異對(duì)于新托福寫(xiě)作的影響
西方人的思路是演繹式的(deduction),他們會(huì)先把自己最主要的觀點(diǎn)亮出來(lái),然后再針對(duì)自己的觀點(diǎn)做進(jìn)一步的闡釋?zhuān)欢袊?guó)人的思路是歸納式的(induction),中國(guó)人擅于先大段的說(shuō)理論證,分析各種可能的情況,然后最后加上一個(gè)總結(jié),也就是自己的觀點(diǎn)。在新托福寫(xiě)作中我們一定要使用演繹式的寫(xiě)作方式,切忌使用歸納式的方式。原因在于:使用演繹式的寫(xiě)作方式,一開(kāi)始就亮出觀點(diǎn),使讀者很清晰地明白作者的觀點(diǎn),于是讀者就會(huì)更好地理解下面的相關(guān)論證,使得讀者更容易覺(jué)得文章的思路清晰,邏輯嚴(yán)密;而使用歸納式的寫(xiě)作方式,讀者在閱讀之前的論證的時(shí)候,自己心里也會(huì)產(chǎn)生一個(gè)自己的觀點(diǎn),也就是說(shuō)讀者自己就會(huì)先于作者得出一個(gè)觀點(diǎn),要是當(dāng)最后作者的觀點(diǎn)與讀者的觀點(diǎn)相異時(shí),就會(huì)很容易的使讀者認(rèn)為作者的思路不清晰,邏輯不嚴(yán)密。這就是中國(guó)式思路歸納式的缺點(diǎn)。
