托福

寒假的托福班今天结课,很多同学还是一直坚持到最后,难能可贵,相信有这种精神,日后生活各方面都会成功。

应同学要求贴出上课时的范文,希望有所帮助。

 

复制后要记得改颜色,不然什么都看不到。热烈的笑脸

 

范文:Preference

 

Some people say that physical exercise should be a required part of every school day. Other people believe that students should spend the whole school day on academic studies. Which opinion do you agree with? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

 

Abundant things in our lives are worth analyzing and judging. When it comes to whether physical exercise should be a required part of every school day, some maintain that it is rational while others advocate that the reverse is true. Admittedly, there can be some notable truths in both arguments, yet my experience accounts for my preference. As far as I am concerned, physical exercise can strengthen students’ physical fitness, teach them about teamwork, and relieve them of the academic stress.

 

First of all, one strong argument is that stretching our body is of great significance to our health. As is recommended by the doctors worldwide, students should be obliged to have exercises for at least twenty minutes everyday. This will improve the function of students’ hearts and bodies, thus improving their overall fitness.

 

Besides, it can be reasonable to say that setting time aside each day for students to exercise can teach them the applicable skills of teamwork. For instance, in the game of baseball, every team member must work together in order to beat the opponent. This valuable skill of teamwork acquired at school can prepare a student for his or her future vocation.

 

Furthermore, there is considerable evidence to illustrate that allowing students to exercise can ease their tension in academic study. For example, having taken a two-hour long history test, the student must be feeling mentally exhausted and can hardly concentrate on any subject. A walk in the open air will enable him to relax a little. When he returns to the classroom, he will feel refreshed and consequently be more efficient.

 

Taking all the factors into consideration/account, I am in favor of the point that it would be better for the students to take physical exercises rather than to spend the whole school day on academic study. Carl Marx teaches us to take a dialectic view. Be it taking exercise or being focused on study, I find there are merits in both attitudes. Still, I just cannot help wondering how fantastic it would be to breathe in some fresh air in the stuffed studying hours.

 

范文:Comparison and Contrast

 

Some people choose friends who are different from them. Others choose friends who are similar to them. Compare the advantages of having friends who are different from you with the advantages of having friends who are similar to you. Which kind of friend do you prefer for yourself? Why?

 

Abundant things in our lives are worth analyzing and judging. When it comes to whether we should choose friends who are different from us or  friends who are similar to us, some maintain that it is rational to have friends who are similar to us, while others advocate that the reverse is true. Admittedly, there can be some notable truths in both arguments. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore the two respects.

 

On one hand, it can be reasonable to say that a friend different from you can offer you something new. In other words, if friends have different hobbies, occupations and talents, not only can you learn a lot more from them, but you can get some professional advice from them as well. Besides, while meeting friends who are different from you, you can acquire some communicational skills with various people. You might encounter various kinds of people in you lives. If some of your friends have peculiar characteristics, you can easily understand them in various situations such as business and school.

 

On the other hand, it is not sensible to ignore the opposite. Sometimes, only similar fiends can understand you when you are in trouble. For example, if you have some difficulties with your girl friends, schools, or parents, you need some help such as advice, encouragements, and consolations from your intimates. However, if your friends have totally different characteristics, they cannot understand your mind at all, not to mention giving any help. In addition, you usually feel comfortable when you meet friends similar with you. With similar lifestyles and interests, you too can easily decide when to meet, where to go and what to do, and there will be few confrontations between you.

 

Be it friend similar to you or different from you, I find there are merits in both parties. However, taking all the factors into consideration/ account, I am in favor of the former one. To me, the most essential attribute of friendship is mutual understanding. On the contrary, a friend thinking in different ways may cause misunderstanding. Therefore, to avoid all the disputes and suspicions, I would like to make friends with someone who is similar to me.

 

综合写作范文

In the speech, the lecturer points out that convenient as it is, the Internet also exposes users to several forms of crime while in the reading materials the author contends that the Internet facilitates our daily life in a variety of ways.

 

On one hand, speaker claims that the Internet has committed a long list of crimes. To begin with, easy access to articles, music, etc. means that the composers and writers will lose their copyright. Moreover, the gambling and pornography on Internet will devour the teenagers who are too immature to differentiate right from wrong. Furthermore, the criminals might make use of Internet to acquire financial information, thus leading to economic losses. 

 

On the other hand, the author in the reading material maintains that the Internet offers enormous convenience. First of all, the Internet enables people from all walks of life to have easy access to information. Besides, it is much easier for people to have online transaction such as online shopping and online stock exchanges. What is more, the Internet has provided considerable benefit for the handicapped.

 

To sum up, the contents in the reading passage are totally challenged by the speaker. While the Internet brings us tremendous convenience, it also causes a long line of crises.

托福综合写作模版

托福班的同学注意啦,这个综合写作虽然是划入了写作的部分,但是其考查的是大家的听、读、写的综合能力。是难点,这部分的分值大概是30%。

 

阅读:阅读是第一个出现的部分,时长3分钟。阅读的时候注意文章的主要论点和论据,这有助于大家进行听力的时候把握听力的框架,因为听力和阅读一般来说是相对的观点,历年真题中很多都属于对仗工整的反驳。

 

听力:阅读完毕后,屏幕上出现的就是听力的提示,接下来大概有2分钟进行听力。听力部分大家做好笔记。

 

写作:在听力完毕后,屏幕左下方会再次出现阅读文章,大家可以更加准确的把握阅读的内容。大家根据所听到的内容按照写作部分给出的模版,有序的进行写作。

 

根据以上对听力和阅读及写作部分的分析,大家可以发现其实综合写作的部分,难点是在听力部分,因为听力只有一次机会,而且听力的内容本来相对于阅读来说难以把握,所以大家 在做阅读部分时要注意阅读的思路,因为听力会基本按照这个思路来进行反驳,对阅读思路把握好了之后,有助于听力的理解。

 

写作的部分我们给出的模版如下

 

引言段

 

In the speech, the lecturer points out that -------------(指出听力文的重点)while in the reading materials, the author contends that ----------(总结阅读部分的观点).

托福课堂范文

托福班同学,课堂上的段落,大家注意看横线划出的地方!微笑

1、用列举法展开的段落

Possibly, the four most essential attributes of a successful person are flexibility, honesty, creativity, and perseverance. First, our rapidly changing society demands flexibility-----the ability to adapt oneself to new ideas and experiences. Next, honesty, the capacity to brave the truth, will be significant in all respects of personal and public relations. In addition, creativity will be needed to deal with the constantly changing world around us. Finally, perseverance, the ability to hold on at all cost, will be required in a society where competition for space, food and shelter will increase with a growing population.

 

2、用对比法展开的段落 热烈的笑脸 

Besides, background music is also an effective way of diminishing the distance between people. Suppose it is a Valentine’s Day, and a couple are having a candle light dinner in a restaurant crowded with people. How monotonous and depressing it would be if the whole process is accompanied by chaos of the swarms of customers. How ridiculous and embarrassing it would be if there is only the clink and clank of forks and knives and even a hiccup. This dinner will turn out to be a fiasco. However, the picture will be completely different if the couple can have the dinner with the background music by the violinist or pianist. The lovers rivet their eyes on each other and pore over every nuance from each other’s mood. At opportune time, they stand up and begin to dance to the background music, whispering loving words in each others’ ears. Their souls cannot be closer.
