托福写作热点 对比类型试题作答注意事项
托福独立写作考题中,每年对比类型试题几乎要占据整个考试的半壁江山,对于此类型考题考生如何备考与应试,通过本文的经验技巧分享希望给予参加托福考试的同学一些帮助。
一、对比类型考题种类繁多
对比类型考题在历年托福独立写作考题中都有出现,占比十分惊人,类型多样,考察内容涉及多方面,先来看看以下几类对比类型试题供大家参考回顾:
⑴Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? University students should be required to take basic science classes even if they are not part of the field of the study.
⑵Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The most important characteristic of a successful politician or leader is good communication skills.
⑶Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Classmates and partner can communicate with each other face to face to finish the project better than by sending e-mail.
⑷Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The rules that the whole societies today expect to young people to follow and obey are too strict.
⑸Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Movies and television have more negative effects than positive effects on the way young people behave.
二、对比类型考题具体有哪几种分类:
按比较对象分类可分为以下三类:
1)A or B
这类对比题目中会有非常明显的两个对比对象,考生选择观点时,只选其一。
例:Classmates and partner can communicate with each other face to face to finish the project better than by sending e-mail.
选择观点时要注意的是:
既可以选择face to face communication 同时也可以选择send e-mail.
2)A or (B)
此类型考题比较含蓄,比较对象在考题中往往只出现一个,另一个则需要考生通过对题干的分析推断得出。
People will spend less time on cooking food in twenty years.
此题直观呈现“未来20年人们是否会更少花时间在做饭上”,实际在拿未来20年与现在进行对比,之间的差异就是人们做饭时间差异的原因。
其它隐性对比考题还包括:
The professional athletes such as the football player and basket-ball player deserved high salaries to be paid?
此类型题目表面是在问职业运动员高薪酬是否合理,实质上是将职业运动员的career与其它普通的career进行对比,职业运动员之所以拥有高薪酬的回报,原因在于他们的career有异于其它career 的地方,职业生涯较短,极易受伤等,需要承受大多数比赛带来的巨大压力,参加严酷的训练等等。
3)A or B or C
对于比较对象含有有三者的,如何进行选择?选择观点时选其一。此类考题近几年已经多次出现,考生应引起足够的重视。
例:
1.ring time of economy crisis, government should reduce budgets in: (1)education; (2) health care;(3) support for unemployed.
2.Which way do you think is the best for a student to make new friends: (1) joininga sports team;(2) participate in community activities;(3) traveling
对比时可三者一一对比,A与B对比,A与C对比,同时也可以转换两者对比,A与BC对比或B与AC对比。
三、对比类型试题易错及丢分点注意:
作答对比类型题目时考生经常会犯这样一个错误:忽略对比。题目让在A跟 B之间做选择,假设选择A,错误的作答就是描述A的好处,完全忽视B的存在,这就是问题的根源写作过程中忽略对比,这样的文章论证是不完整的。完整写作论证应提及A的好处同时提出B与A相比存在的劣势与不足或是坏处。
通过本文的介绍相信各位考生对于托福写作中对比类型试题有了更深的认识与知识的储备,对于备考及应试也有自己相应的策略与技巧,对于对比类型试题作答时掌握对比论证的方法,避免错误的论证才是取得成功的“胜利之钥”。
