5月20日托福写作解析 - 别人过节我考试
在举国都在烛光餐,晒红包的时候,不少出国党们还要参加托福考试,简直丧心病狂。
幸好ETS爸爸仁慈,据新航道学员反映,这场考试总体不是很难,可能是AB卷,但至少没出现ABCD卷。
而写作部分也是表现中规中矩,综合写作考到了海洋生物死亡的原因,是一则典型的假说型材料。其中涉及到的海洋动植物和其他相关词汇都很常见,比如海豚 dolphin 和海藻 alga 。独立写作就近几年题目来分析,应该是一道新题,不过因为属于教育类话题,而且是高中生大学生平常都会经历,甚至闲聊中都经常提起,所以也并不会因为新而无话可说。

托福独立写作题目
At some universities, students are allowed to take part in deciding issues that affect everyone in their daily life on campus such as how many hours that libraries should be open each day or what kinds of food should be served in the cafeteria. But at some other universities, experts are hired to make these decisions while students almost never involved. Which approach do you prefer and why?
校园中总是出现不少与每个人都息息相关的问题,有些大学会让学生参与相关决定,比如图书馆每天的开放时间,或者食堂该做什么样的菜肴等。其他有的大学就几乎不让学生参与,而是请来解决这些问题。你喜欢哪种处理方式?为什么?
题目中提到校园中会影响到每个人的一些问题,并且还举出了两个例子帮助考生理解。提醒一下,这两个例子我们是可以在考试时写进作文的,当然也可以不用,完全用自己的例子。像图书馆开放时间,食堂饭菜问题,我相信每个上过学的人都有切身体会,应该都抱怨过饭菜天天一个样,或者图书馆关门太早(毕竟大家都是爱学习的好童鞋)。当然不排除某些人去图书馆就是为了多看心仪的女生一眼。
这道题从同意做决定的角度来说,可以谈及是某个领域的权威人士,做决定前不仅会凭他们的经验去判断,而且大多也会做不少调查,所以作出的决定一般更科学,更合理。另外,做决定会更客观,而学生自己做决定都会有一些主观倾向。
从同意学生做决定的角度来说,可以谈及影响学生的问题由学生们来决定会更容易满足大多数学生,而的想法不一定是适合学生的,如果解决得不好,反而会受到更多学生抱怨,甚至投诉。另外,大学生也都是要即将步入社会的人,自主做决定本身就是成人并经的一步,学校不能像家长那样还是什么都管。
秉承新航道高分高能的理念,翔哥觉得大学生除了认真学习,提升专业水平之外,学习和生活中的各种问题还是要尽早自行解决,这样才能早日成为某个领域的,帮别人解决问题。我的想法都写在下面的文章了,也欢迎读者留言交流。
