【正文】 feel that a more measured approach would be more rewarding.　　Likewise, raters will not look favorably on paragraphs like the following, which uses a lot of words but fail to develop any real ideas:　　At the heart of any discussion regarding an issue pertaining to creating a new holiday, it has to borne in mind that a delicate line has to be trod when dealing with such matters. The human resources involved in such matters cannot be guaranteed regardless of all the good intentions that may be lavished. While it is true that creating a new holiday might be a viable and laudable remedy, it is transparently clear that applied wrongly such a course of action could be calamitous and pound the problem rather than provide a solution. [OG, P259]　　I think you could use it as long as it is on topic. [Susan Hines, Dec. 2006]　　Q: 閱卷人最主要看重文章的哪些方面?　　A: Your ability　　to respond directly to the question。 and　　to write an essay characterized by (1) good organization, (2) proper use of supporting examples, (3) sentence variety, and (4) correct sentence structures.　　[Workshop Manual, P26]　　Q: 5分和4分最大的區(qū)別在哪里?　　A: Those that receive a score of 4 also have clear, wellwritten essays, but there are more flaws and the ideas are less developed. [Teacher39。　　Raters will also judge your essay based on the plexity of sentence structures and on the quality and plexity of your vocabulary. If you use very simple sentences and very basic vocabulary, you will probably not be able to express very plex ideas. [OG, P260]　　但是，不是越復雜越好。請參看OG第287頁的滿分范文1，評語中有這樣一句話：The writer does not use highlevel vocabulary, but word choice is correct ，同樣沒有big words，也是滿分。但為了達到變化或者準確表達復雜意思的目標，出現(xiàn)一些復雜的句式是很正常的。　　Q: 文字是不是越正式(formal)越好?　　A: 不是。只要能把意思表達清楚，并把問題回答好了，就行了。s assume, we would all agree, can make or beak, e in very handy).　　Integrated Task　　Q: 閱讀文章和聽力文章中共有幾種可能的關系?　　A: There are three kinds of connections between the reading passage and the listening passage.　　a. The listening passage that challenges the points made in the reading.　　b. The listening passage that presents the reasons/ways the problem described in the reading passage is solvable or really not a problem at all.　　c. The listening passage that supports the points made in the reading.　　[OG, P252] [Workshop Manual, P41]　　目前考的都是Contrast題目(只有一次考到了Solution，但也和Contrast差不多)，預計在不久的將來也不會有太大變化。最有效的12個訓練題目我會在課程中給大家列出來。關鍵詞可以不變，但是整體內容必須被paraphrase出來，特別是閱讀材料里面的內容。　　In general, responses should be scored at the highest levels (4 or 5) if all the score descriptors fit the response. In contrast, a response should be scored at one of the lower levels (3, 2, or 1) if some or any of the score descriptors noticeably fit the response. [OG, P267]　　Q: 拼寫錯誤和語言問題要不要緊?　　A: 關于這一點，我們要一分為二來看。閱卷人知道這是first draft并且是under timed condition，只要看得懂，不構成理解障礙，就沒太大問題(minor flaw)。　　就拿我們上課講的例子來看，把dependence寫成dependency沒太大問題。偶爾寫出They prefer to be depended on their parents.這樣的奇怪句子也會得到閱卷人的寬恕?！　∑浯危壳白謹?shù)會比以前更有意義，因為考試有計數(shù)器專門動態(tài)顯示字數(shù)，為的是讓考生對自己的字數(shù)做到心里有數(shù)。所以，我的建議是超過這個建議字數(shù)，雖然不用超過太多。不要為了求字數(shù)而導致文章很啰嗦。如何實現(xiàn)詞匯和句型表達的多樣性　　1)使用同義詞。要學會用同義詞來替換它們。在托福獨立寫作中表示近來的時間狀況用nowadays，還可以用recently, currently, at present, in recent years, these days　　再比如表示重要的詞有important，一篇文章如果要求描寫某物重要，不能只寫important這一個詞吧，和它類似的還有necessary, crucial, essential, vital, significant , indispensable, momentous, 如果還需要再變化，就可以用下面的改變詞性的方法。　　n.→ Adj.　比如：important改成be of importance　　n. → v.　When we look at a parison between A and B…　　When we pare A and B…　　Adj. → n.　　There are a variety of solutions to the problem.　　There are various solutions to the problem.　　3)更換使用不同的承接詞。熟識一些常用的承接詞對寫作將會有極大的作用。在某些形容詞上進行修改，會達到非比尋常的效果。在新托福寫作部分，評分標準中非常重要的一項就是句型結構，要求句型結構做到豐富多變。即要求我們寫的作文具體化。中文經(jīng)過長久的發(fā)展，追求的是含蓄、抽象，用最少的話來表達深刻的思想，但美國人思維卻是具體的。　　美國人托福思維還體現(xiàn)在綜合寫作中?？梢?，只要我們能夠做到用美國人的思維、結構看問題，搭出大骨架，從生活中選取豐富的素材使之具體、豐滿，再輔之以閃光的詞匯句型、修辭手法，要拿新托福寫作高分就不再是遙不可及的夢想。是狼就要練好牙，是羊就要練好腿。不奮斗就是每天都很容易，可一年一年越來越難。拼一個春夏秋冬！贏一個無悔人生！早安！—————獻給所有努力的人.學習參
