托福考试作为一项英语语言能力的测试，其设置的目的，是为了考察一个希望到美国生活、学习的考生在语言上是否已经做好了充分的准备。从托福考试的题目设计来看，听力部分主要是围绕美国大学校园或者课堂的对话出题，阅读部分主要是围绕着简单的学术文章出题。考生如果能够通过这样的测试的话，一般被认为就具备了在美国学校生存下来的能力。在1987年以前，考生参加托福考试，不需要参加写作能力的测试。但是，美国各大院校普遍感觉到，即使在托福考试中发挥出色的考生，在撰写学校的论文时仍有较大的困难。这就要求在学生赴美留学之前，还要接受写作能力的考察。于是，ets（educational testing service）从1987年5月开始，在中国境内推出了twe（test of written english），也就是我们经常讲的托福考试的写作部分。

twe推出那么多年来，一直受到考生的广泛关注。主要是因为twe成绩在评价整个托福考试成绩的时候有着举足轻重的作用。举例而言，在620到640之间，一般认为考生的英语水平不会有本质的区别，但是作文从4分到5分（托福作文分六等，1分最次，6分最高，可以以半分为一级），甚至是0.5分的提高，都意味着你的托福成绩上了一个不小的档次。有些国外院校很重视twe成绩，要么不做要求，一旦有要求，往往就是4分或者5分（比如，要以twe成绩申请剑桥大学的话，就不能低于5分）。所以，twe考得不好，便累及到考生其他部分的成绩，使之成为鸡肋――食之无味，弃之可惜。

三分：文章切题，段落组织基本合理，有逻辑性，但只存在于语义层次上，语言表达上未能体现;句子框架结构基本成立，但有许多语法错误，句间联系不顺畅，往往是不善于使用逻辑连词，显得幼稚，生硬。词汇方面拼写错误多，常有用词不得体现象。

二分：文章切题。阐说没有展开，只限于三言两语地回答问题;没有段落组织，很乱，长度很短，只有一段;句子排列有一定的逻辑关系，能看出各句基本框架，但结构或语法错误较多;用词不得体，拼写错误多。

(2)文章应有若干段落，段之间应有很强的逻辑性，使文章连贯，呼应，有头有尾。

拿综合来说：同学们先开始往往能看懂阅读，可是听力却听得不是很好，特别是笔记部分存在着很大的问题。另外，三驳三的观点找得也不是很好。在经过几篇综合练习之后，我发现，大家找综合写作的要点找的相比以前熟练很多，而且在要点找出之后，成文也写得很到位。他们告诉我，找到感觉了。看到同学们有所提高，出了成绩，心中无限的欣慰。

最后，托福小编给同学们一些建议：

1.不管是基础好的同学还是基础差的同学，考试前一定要积累一定量的练习，因为数量决定质量绝对是真理。

3.综合写作，一定要在托福阅读能力和托福听力能力的逐步提高中才能得到较好的效果。所以，在考察综合能力如此之强的托福考试中，大家一定注意科目之间的联系性和制约性。

托福改作文篇5

35. you must select a person to teach others to do a job. which one of the following is the most important for youto consider in making you selection?

1)the person’s education

2)the person’s work experience

3)the quality of the person’s previous work

use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

training someone to do a job is an important task. it requires a good education, work experience, and skilled job performance. of these three requirements, i believe it is most important that apotential job trainer be judged on the quality of his or her previous work.

a person may be well educated, but not able to perform a job proficiently. a doctor may knowhow to treat childhood diseases, but not be able to train medical students to perform surgery. anaccountant may be able to balance a company’s accounts, but not be able to help the company’sexecutives invest their money.

a person may have a lot of work experience, but not be able to do the job well. time is not thebest measure of quality. a mother may spend 17-years raising her children, but not be able to trainyoung mothers to care for their infants. a typist may have typed ten-years worth of letters, butmay not type over 30 words a minute.

a person who does a job well is the one you want to be a trainer. i want to learn to fly a plane froma pilot who has faced a lot of mechanical problems in flight and never had an accident. i want tolearn how to make money from a billionaire not form a salaried investment broker.

as in all things, it is quality that we look for, not general knowledge or time spent in an occupation. iwant others to learn from the best, so they can be the best, too.

36. business should hire employees for their entire lives. do you agree or disagree? usespecific reasons and examples to support your answer.

in some business cultures, it is the practice to hire workers when they are young and employ themuntil they retire. in other business cultures companies hire people to do a job and then fire themwhen they are not needed. to me, the important considerations in today’s economy is jobperformance: speed and change. loyalty is not a consideration.

today there is a lot of competition and we need to hire workers who can perform a task well. weneed to find skilled workers who can do a job without a lot of training. we need to match the jobto the worker, and, if the job changes, we change the worker.

because of this increased competition, we need to be able to produce our goods or servicesquickly. we need young people who are willing to put in long hours. we need young people whoare aggressive and will push themselves to do their job faster.

in order to compete, we have to be innovative. by changing our workforce frequently, we canbring in new ideas. we must constantly be looking for new ways to do new things. we need freshworkers with fresh points of view.

although a company’s loyalty to a worker and a workers loyalty to a company is a noble idea, it isnot practical today. skilled workers do not want to be tied down to one company; they want theflexibility to improve their opportunities. change makes the economy powerful.

托福改作文篇6

新托福综合写作要求考生先读一篇学术文章，词数在二百五十左右，然后要考生听一段听力材料，时长约为一分半钟。最后，要考生根据阅读和听力材料的相关信息写一篇作文，三百词左右。

这对考生的英文写作能力、阅读和听力能力都有一定要求，要能把握住阅读和听力材料中的信息要点，在考试规定的时间内将其用另一种方式表达出来。

既然是要求三种能力，那下面就每种能力和所需技巧具体做出分析：

一、写作考试中的阅读材料大部分是摘自一些学术类文章，其内容缜密，结构严谨，有较强的逻辑性。所以阅读的时候，可以从结构入手，能较快速找到关键句子和重要信息。通常情况下，文章的第一句直接的提出文章的主旨，接下来会围绕这一主题进行讨论，通过一些细节性的东西展开。还有不要忽略文章的最后一段，因为文章最后会有总结，往往也有一些重要观点和信息。中间段落，大多数的学术性文章采取的是以主题句开头，后面进行论证的形式，或是先进行论证后归纳观点的模式，多注意表示因果、转折关系的连词，确定作者对问题的态度。

二、听力部分要稍难一些，但阅读了前面的文章，对听力材料的主题已经有了一定的了解，所以在听的时候，应该将重点放在两个材料观点的判断比较上，建议在听的过程中做好笔记，把关键的信息记下来，为下面写作做好准备。

三、在阅读完听完之后掌握了关键信息，要怎么把它写出来，写得好呢?第一段就是把阅读和听力中的重点内容和观点表达出来，并说明观点之间的关系。第二段展开其中的分论点，证明观点之间的关系，注意角度的不同。第三段总结，注意不要加入自己的态度和观点。

25 pr a person you know is planning to move to yourtown or city .what do you think this person would likeand dislike about living in your town or city? why? usespecific reasons and details to develop your essay.

a friend of mine from college is moving to my city, so i havebeen thinking about what she would and wouldn't like about it, i’d say the quality of life here, as far as fun and activities areconcerned, is very good. the quality of life isn't very good, though, in other important ways.

living in a lager city is exciting, but you pay a price for it. there are lots of interesting things to do, and good restaurants with food from around the world. there are museums, art galleries, and lotsof movie theaters. however. the crime rate is high, and people have to be careful about wherethey go at night. there's a lot of traffic most of the time, and finding a parking space can be aproblem. there are also a lot of people living here. sometimes it feels too crowded.

in a big city like mine, housing is very expensive. if costs a lot even if you're just renting anefficiency apartment. the good side is that there's a lot of choice about where you want to live andhow you want to live. you can find apartment of all sizes in different settings. houses of equalvariety are available for sale or rent.

if my friend likes the great outdoors, she might be disappointed. unfortunately, my city doesn'thave a lot of wide open green spaces, and there aren't a lot of trees on the streets. we're not nearthe ocean, and the mountains are a day's drive from here. still, we do have some natural areas. for example, we have a beautiful big park. it even has a lake in the middle that's used for iceskating in the winter. there’s a different kind of beauty in the city.

thinking about it, i suppose whether my friend likes my city will depend on whether or not she likesexciting places. i hope she likes a lot of variety as far as housing and activities are concerned. if shedoes, then this is the place for her.

26 ad it has recently been announced that large shopping center may be built in yourneighborhood. do you support or oppose this plan? why? use specific reasons anddetails to support your answer.

there would be both advantages and disadvantages to having a shopping center built in myneighborhood. one advantage would be the convenience. i would like to have all those storesclose by. shopping would be much easier and faster because i wouldn't have to drive greatdistances to get to the stores.

a shopping center would mean more choices, because there would be more stores selling differentproducts. i might have a movie theater nearby, because so many shopping centers these daysinclude movie theaters in their plans. most shopping centers also have restaurants and a foodcourt. that means a greater variety of places to eat in our area.

having a shopping center built in the neighborhood would also mean more jobs for thecommunity. initially, these jobs would be in the building of the center. later the jobs would be inthe stores, theaters, and food establishments.

of course, these would be some disadvantages, too. probably the biggest problem would betraffic. a lot of people would be coming to the shopping center. they’d drive through ourneighborhood to get to the center. in addition, if there wasn't enough parking at the center, theymight look for parking space near our homes.

a shopping center might also invite more crime into our neighborhood. parking lots after dark are abig temptation to robbers. they know people are there with money to spend. the shoppingcenter might also become a place where unruly teenagers would gather. this could cause trouble. our town would need a community center for them to go to instead.

on the whole, though, i think my neighborhood should support having a shopping center builthere, it would bring more variety to our shopping, give us the opportunity to amuse ourselves atmovies theaters and restaurants, and bring more jobs into the area.

法国留学新托福作文应变。新托福作文包括两个部分，一是综合写作部分，即integrated task，另一部分为独立写作部分，即independent task.

对于综合写作部分，由于考察的topic一定是一些academic topic，一般考生不会太熟悉，因此，考生在锤炼其听力和阅读的基本功的基础上，应集中强化突破在lecture里和reading 中记笔记的能力。尤其应注重对阅读文章结构和思路的清晰把握。听力材料一般都针对阅读文章的观点或细节进行反驳，反驳的切入点多为三点。听力反驳的要点一般都在阅读材料中明确提及，一般不会涉及阅读中完全未涉及的细节。因此，在阅读做笔记的过程中，要读清的论证思路，这样在听听力时才能够有的放矢，在听力材料播放过程中准确抓住我们需要的细节并做简单的笔记。在具体写作的过程中，注意以听力材料中反驳的要点为主线组织全文结构，每一个要点的阐述过程中注意与阅读中的相关细节或观点关联。各段落的结构及一些套路性的语言事先应该准备好。

对于独立写作部分，极其类似于老toefl中的twe. 该部分的写作特别应注重结构。开头段，中间段及结尾段落的常见结构及写法要很熟悉。在结构八股的同时，应避免文章内容的千篇一律。文章展开的理由和层次尽可能的要personal一些，尽量不要都去套用一些空乏的东西。展开的层次和理由一定要有细节支持，细节可以是例子，解释，对比等。同时，文章的主题一定要明确，突出。动笔之前一定要花两三分钟把提纲事先列好。在内容充实的前提下，文章字数尽可能多写一些。最后，语言要做到多样。用词句式要多变。
