托福写作的主题怎样确立
英语课
目前许多考生在主体段写作中主要存在两个问题:一是没话说字数不够,二是花太多没重点。总而言之就是乱出招,想到啥说啥,想不到啥就傻眼。其实,一个100字的主体段并不难写,关键是要找到段落展开的方法。下面我们就一起来看看托福写作主体段有哪些展开方法。
方法一:举例----缩小范围来论证。
如动物→鸟类,现代交通方式→飞机,上面的举例是最简单的形式,即对单个词/短语,或说单个对象举例。我们在独立写作中会遇到对单个对象的举例,这也是大家都能做好的;但我们更常遇到的是需要对一个句子,或说多个对象互相联系而串成的观点举例的情况,这时我们就需要留意我们所举的例子的有效性了。
举例的基本原则:
a. 细节性原则----细于被举例者。
b. 一致性原则----良好体现与要用举例证明的观点的一致对应关系,观点中的重点信息应在例子中不多不少地体现。
举例的具体操作方法:
粗举,细举,引调查,列数字。
(1)粗例----粗犷的例子
"粗例"即一类人、物或事,或一个公认事实的例子,说白了就是多数人都能认可的信息。寻找这类例子的时候比较轻松,只要在观点中找出可以继续细化的重点信息然后"narrow down"就可以了
观点1: Employers are willing to pay a premium 1 for highly qualified 2 applicants 3.
粗例1: International companies desire bilingual employees and offer higher salaries to attract them.
"粗例"可以建立"面"对"线"的关系,但需要注意不能太空洞,同时也要控制使用的量;粗例子需要搭配因果分析、比较论证来使用,才能使整个段落更有血肉。
(2)细例----细致的例子
"细例"就是具体到一个人、一个物,或一件事,可以是实际存在的,也可以无中生有。这类例子更加鲜活,更有说服力,通常也能占据更长一些的篇幅,平时有意识地积累并灵活联系,写起这类例子来才会更加得心应手。
a. 实际存在的,一方面,这类例子可以是身边,家人、朋友、自己和身边发生的一些事情;另一方面就是名人和一些被报道出来的“名事”了
观点2: Mistakes serve as vivid, sometimes painful deterrents 4 from certain action.
细例2: A friend of mine suffering from smoking-induced lung disease would remember the emotional and physical pain associated with the side-effects of tobacco usage. Not only does he recall the smell of hospitals, the imprint 5 of pain on the face of someone who died from smoking, but he would also link these memories immediately with cigarettes.
观点3: You cannot judge a person only by his or her appearance.
细例3: Susan Boyle is one of those. Such an appearance has long been rumored 6, but her incredible voice and stunning 7 performance on BGT has won her great popularity.
b. 此外,"细例"的无中生有就是假设论证,常用if,supposing等开头
观点4: Individuals play a significant role in alleviating 8 traffic congestion 9.
细例4: If 30 people get on a public bus instead of 30 individual cars, there will be far fewer automobiles 10 on the road, greatly easing the traffic burden.
"细例"可以建立"面"对"点"的关系,读者容易理解,但也要注意不能太松散,应紧扣要证明的观点,明显突出观点中的重点信息,宁缺毋滥;细例子有时自身的字数貌似就已经可以撑起一个段落,但即便如此也一定不能把例子描述完就完了,必要的动作是在最后加上一两句总结或评论。
举例子的方法除了上述的粗例和细例,有的时候还可以引用科学数据或者调查报告的结论。大家也可以在平时的练习中总结一些好的例子以备不时之需。
