2017年4月23日托福独立写作范文

　　4月23日这场托福考试，依旧惊心动魄。据说这场考试出现大规模的阅读和听力加试，而且连续几场加试表明，听力经典加试几乎绝迹。我上个月就说过，只有写作能让我们心安，从这场来看，确实依旧如此。综合写作考了一种鳗鱼，但考法上属于传统的问题解决型，在新航道上课的学生，尤其是翔哥的学生，肯定非常熟悉这类题材的套路。而独立写作考的是一道“变异”题，这种题并非100%的原题，但是是基于旧题，在主要讨论对象或者相关措词上进行了一番改编，然后产生的所谓的新题。

　　2017年4月23日托福独立写作题目

　　Some young people are free in the evenings or have days off at school, which way can bring them the most benefit?

　　1、to accumulate work experience by a part-time job or volunteering in a community

　　2、learning to play a sport

　　3、learning to play a musical instrument

　　有些年轻人在闲暇之余会有不少空闲时间，你认为下面三个哪个会让他们受益最多：

　　1、通过做兼职和社区志愿者积累工作经历

　　2、学习一项体育项目

　　3、学会一门乐器

　　这道题是根据哪道题变异而来呢?2015年11月18日的老题(原题如下)，该题同时也在3月11日的解析中“其他相关题目”中列了出来。

　　2015/11/8 A school has been providing funding for students who participate in after school activities. Now the school has only enough money to fund only one type of the activities. Which of the following do you recommend the school continue to fund: sports, art, volunteering.

　　通读完题目会发现，狡猾的ETS只是把主要讨论人群从 students 换成了 young people，而 after school activities 顺势换成了 free time in evenings 之类。另外三个选择也变得更具体了些，这其实也是目前“新题”的一个趋势 – 官方想通过更多的限定引导考生专注于所给话题去展开讨论，而不是套用一些假大空的理由。

　　当然，sports, music, part-time job, volunteering work 这几个关键词也是托福独立写作的常客，相信每位同学都能针对其中某一项说出不少支持的理由。比如运动有益身心健康，音乐陶冶情操，工作积累经验有助于毕业找工作或者目前职业的一个晋升等。不过要记得，无论选哪一个，千万不要忘了题目中所说的bring the most benefit，带来的好处，所以另外两个一定要来踩一踩。

　　It seems that everyone in the world aspires to achieve something so as to live life to the full, especially the young who have a glorious future before themselves. Although a vast majority of people agree with this notion, opinions on how to achieve one’s ambitious dreams or realistic goals are diverse. As a broadly-disseminated idea goes that the other 8 hours of free time determine one’s success, an increasing number of young people are pondering a problem of how to maximize their “free” time – the 8 hours in the day when they are not studying, working or sleeping. As far as I am concerned, from the three above-mentioned ways to utilize the free time, I would unhesitatingly choose the second one – learning to play a sport.

　　Despite the fact that the 8 hours after work or study can be a valuable resource one has to achieve one’s ideal life, let’s be honest first, the time when one is working or studying is the most valuable. It is imperative for either students or workers to make the full use of this “unfree” time for any academic pursuit or career advancement, in which case an investment of large amounts of energy and attention is required. Then, physical and mental fatigue would unavoidably ensue. Therefore, the way I see it, when these young people are free in the evenings or have days off at school, relieving their tiredness should be given top priority. Learning to play a sport and engaging in related sports activities, even just for a few minutes, will help to relax their muscles and relieve the tension in the face, neck, shoulders and other body parts. Alvin Oldman, a lead researcher of New Channel Health Center, emphasized that people who exercise regularly feel more energetic throughout the day, sleep better at night, and feel more relaxed and positive about themselves and their lives.

　　It is tempting to argue that play sports will help to relax, so will learning to play a musical instrument and engaging in related musical activities. Nevertheless, further analysis would reveal that playing a musical instrument is not so easy as expected. A simple piece of music may require seven consecutive days of practice, for which seldom would persist. Meanwhile, just hearing a couple of musical notes by touching the strings of guitar or hitting the keys of piano is neither likely to relieve one mentally since no melodious music is produced nor likely to relieve one physically in the same way sports does.

　　As for the first choice, let’s be honest once again, little working experience could be accumulated through a part-time job or volunteering in the a community simply due to the fact that little amount of time is devoted to this kind of work. This so called first hand experience lasts for such a short time that participants barely knows what the rules and regulations of a certain company are or how the business operations are conducted. Moreover, do not interpret part-time job or volunteering work literally, more often than not they can be rather demanding, and of course, time-consuming, for which seldom would persist.

　　In conclusion, learning to play a sport is young people’s best choice in their free time.
