抓住独立写作的前5分钟,稳拿26+

今天这篇干货是写给那些对于独立写作题目比较迷茫的准托福考生。

大家可以对号入座一下:


1.读完题目没有什么想法,可以说是毫无头绪

2.有一些想法但是不知如何开始及如何组织表达

3.我一个introduction能写10分钟

4.写的过程中根本不能确定是否在respond问题

5.时间到了,我却没写完


有上述情况之一的学生,花一些时间详读这篇文章,一定可以帮助到你。


Step1. 仔细审题,进行Brainstorming


Brainstorming is the process of generating ideas before you begin to write about a topic. You should come up with as many ideas as possible about the topic. If you put down those ideas on paper, it will help you to choose an appropriate, logical organization for the information in your essay. As a way of writing down ideas on paper, you can use a cluster diagram, also known as a mind map.


简单来说,头脑风暴就是针对题目话题,把自己想到的ideas写下来,帮助我们选择合适的、有逻辑的信息展现在文章中。那么,如何进行头脑风暴?


1 Read the essay topic, and identify the task. It is essential to understand what the essay topic requires you to do if you want to brainstorm in the right direction.


2 Take a position about the statement in the essay topic.

Do you agree or disagree with it?


3 Write down as many ideas as you can to support your opinion. Some ideas will be more general, others will be more specific, and others may have little to do with your opinion.


举个例子:


Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?


A person should never make an important decision alone.


Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Step2. 设计Outlining

Step2. 设计Outlining

Outlining refers to organizing the ideas from the brainstorming process in order to get a sketch of your essay.

In the outlining stage, you should distinguish major ideas from minor ones and arrange them according to the typical structure of the TOEFL® essay: introduction, body, and conclusion.


把brainstorming过程中的想法列一个提纲,按照托福写作的结构:开头-主体-结尾来排列。


关于列提纲的方法:


1 Look at your brainstorm, and choose the best ideas. You can group similar ideas and cross out the ideas which are unconnected to the topic.


2 State your thesis clearly in the introduction. A thesis statement should show what your position is about the essay topic.


3 Set aside the main ideas and supporting ideas for the body. These main ideas are supposed to be topic sentences in the body paragraphs. There are usually two or three of them. To develop the main ideas, you also need supporting details and examples.


4 Provide a summary in the conclusion. You may restate your thesis and summarize the main points discussed in the body paragraphs.


举个例子:


Introduction

An important decision should not be made without consulting others.


Body Paragraph 1

Others’ advice is helpful.

- knowledge and expertise

- school counselor’s advice about what courses to take


Body Paragraph 2

Can share others’ experiences

- had to decide whether to study abroad

- information from a friend who has studied overseas


Body Paragraph 3

Can get a different perspective

- wanted to join the school play but was not confident

- encouragement from a friend


Conclusion

With an important decision, I always seek others’ advice so that I can benefit from their knowledge, experience, and perspectives.


以上两个步骤在考场上我们只有5分钟的时间来完成,因此如何在这么短时间完成还需要我们进行实战演练。


在这里还是要稍微提一点,提纲只要是一个简化版的就够了。至于如何简化,原则就是“保留主体段的key words即可”。
