2023年新航道托福写作新题型范文集:Your professor is teaching a class on social science. Write a post responding to the professor’s question
4月11日,ETS在北京召开了全球发布会,宣布了托福考试全新升级的消息,托福考试迎来全面改革!
自2023年7月26日起, 托福iBT考试的时长将由3小时缩短至2小时以内,取消考试中的10分钟休息时间。其中改革比较多就是托福写作,可以用2个关键字抓住改革的精髓:“短”和“学术”。
►关键字1:“短”:
改革之前要求在30分钟内完成至少300字的独立写作,而现在只要求100字,当然时间也缩短到10分钟。
表面上看,输出速度没有变化,都是10字/分钟。但是,构思慢的学生要小心了。之前完全可以用10分钟构思,再用20分钟写作。现在必须“短平快”:2分钟内读完教授的邮件和学生留言,然后形成自己的思路,马上动笔,绝 对不能拖泥带水。
►关键字2:“学术”:
旧版托福写作有一些接地气的题目,比如《你愿意在家吃饭,还是去饭店?》。问的是个人偏好(Personal Preference)。考生不需要有什么知识储备,只要有生活常识和基本英文能力就能交出一份答案。即便是低龄考生和脱离学校很久的社会人士也可以得到不错的分数。
改革后的题目会“高冷”很多。比如一道样题问你:在过去的两个世纪,推动人类社会进步的最重要的发明是什么?题目还规定你不许讲电脑和手机。ETS示范的满分答卷讨论了“疫苗和抗生素”。但是仔细想想,这要求考生(1)了解科技进步史;(2)有话题词汇储备,比如vaccine, antibiotic, lifespan, pathogen。显然,学术讨论不是仅靠常识就能hold住的。
为了更好的帮助大家考好理想的托福写作分数,今天小编整理了2023年新航道托福写作新题范文集,本篇文章的主题是Your professor is teaching a class on social science. Write a post responding to the professor’s question一起来学习一下吧。

Dr. Diaz
I would like to open a discussion on the topic of social conformity versus individuality. From a very young age, we are often encouraged to "fit in" with others and conform to societal
norms, which can result in a lack of diversity and the promotion of uniformity. However, I believe that embracing our differences and unique perspectives can lead to greater
understanding and better decision-making.
Therefore, my question for the class discussion board is: Do you believe it is more valuable for individuals to fit in and conform to societal norms or to embrace their uniqueness and
individuality? What are the potential benefits and drawbacks of each approach?
Ava
I think it's better to be unique and different. When we try to fit in, we often hide parts of ourselves and pretend to be someone we're not. For example, in my old school, everyone
wore the same clothes and liked the same music. But when I moved here, I found a group of friends who are into different things, and I feel more like myself when I'm around them.
Max
I disagree, Ava. I think it's important to fit in and be part of the group. When we're different, we can feel left out and alone. For instance, last year, I wore a different style of clothes to everyone else, and people made fun of me for it. But now that I've started wearing more popular clothes, people are nicer to me and include me in their activities.

Personally, I agree with Max’s idea that individuals should try their best to fit in the society.
The importance does not only lie in the possibility of not being left out or isolated, but also the efficiency of adapting to the environment and better cooperation. When people step into
a new place for study or work, conforming to the existing societal norms is the fasting way for them to adjust and create a comfort zone quickly. When encountering difficulties, they can
turn to team members for advice since they share a lot in common with others. Team members’ past experience can be inspiring for them. Some people, like Ava, are in favor of
uniqueness. It’s true that uniqueness sometimes may contribute to more perspectives and better decisions. However, in many social occasions, it is inappropriate to be unique. For
example, when visiting other countries, tourists ought to follow the local customs or norms to show respect for the local culture instead of showing their unique lifestyles that may be
considered as a violation of local customs.
AI 打分及评语
Based on the rubric, I would rate the following sample answer with a score of 4 out of 5.
there were a few minor grammatical errors, such as "the fasting way" instead of "the fastest way," and "they share a lot in common with others" instead of "they have a lot in common
with others." Additionally, the sentence "Team members’ past experience can be inspiring for them" could be rephrased for clarity.
