想必各位備考或是參加過(guò)托福考試的同學(xué)都知道托福寫作中有種類型是【絕】對(duì)詞的題目,那遇到這類題目我們應(yīng)該如何應(yīng)對(duì)和完成呢,今天讓老師幫助大家來(lái)攻克此類題目。
首先,我們要學(xué)會(huì)如何識(shí)別這類的題目,那么【絕】對(duì)詞類型的題目就必須有體現(xiàn)【絕】對(duì)概念的一些表達(dá),比如下面這些題目我們可以觀察一下:
①Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The best way to reduce air pollution is for the government to raise the cost of fuel (petrol).
② Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The most effective way to improve the teaching quality is increasing teachers’ income
③Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? All university students should be required to take basic science courses even if it is not the field of their study.
④Do you agree or disagree: It is possible to always be honest with your friends?
通過(guò)讀題,我們可以很容易發(fā)現(xiàn)其實(shí)這些紅色標(biāo)記的詞就是【絕】對(duì)詞類型的標(biāo)志詞了。
表頻率always/ never/ hardly
表示數(shù)量all/every/each/ any/ no/only
表示程度the best/ the most 各種【最】高級(jí)/must
在分析此類題目時(shí),同學(xué)們可以同意題目中的觀點(diǎn),給出支持的理由,也可以選擇反對(duì),否定【絕】對(duì)詞的合理性。我們用一道題目具體的題目來(lái)給大家分析一下哈:
Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Only movies that can teach us something about real life are worth watching.
中文意思為:只有使我們?cè)谡鎸?shí)生活中學(xué)到東西的電影才值得看。
如果同學(xué)們選擇支持的立場(chǎng)的話,就等同于認(rèn)為只有劇情片比如《辛德勒的名單》或是《我不是藥神》這類的劇情片是值得看的,其實(shí)同時(shí)也需要證明其他類型的電影是不值得觀眾們花時(shí)間去觀看的,但是在僅有的30分鐘的考試時(shí)間,考生其實(shí)是很難把所有其他類型的電影逐一否定的,因?yàn)槿缦旅嫠倦娪暗念愋褪侨绱说亩鄻?。因此,如果決定選擇同意,我們只需論證這種表現(xiàn)現(xiàn)實(shí)題材的劇情片的2-3個(gè)好處即可
比如teach youngsters how to overcome adversities by incessant effort 或是hard-won peace, tranquility and stability should be cherished
但是相比支持的立場(chǎng),絕大多數(shù)的【絕】對(duì)詞題目更適合的結(jié)構(gòu)是寫反對(duì)的立場(chǎng)是更加簡(jiǎn)單和容易的,因?yàn)槲覀冎恍枰o出一些反例來(lái)證明其實(shí)有很多類型的電影都是同樣值得看的,比如comedy,thriller,animation等等就行,但是需要強(qiáng)調(diào)的一點(diǎn)是同學(xué)們不能直接在全篇中完全不提及movies that can teach us something about real life,這樣其實(shí)會(huì)被考官判定是topic words回應(yīng)不全面,然后被判定是偏題,導(dǎo)致低分,那么解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題的關(guān)鍵就是需要一個(gè)比較合理的段落結(jié)構(gòu)了,大家可以參考如下的思路
P1- 開頭段:話題引入+改寫題目+作者觀點(diǎn)
With remarkable progress of people’s living standard, watching movies has become an indispensable part of people’s lives. Quite a few people believe only movies reflecting reality are worth watching. However, I regard this assertion as overstated, which will be explained in the following paragraphs
P2- 讓步段:承認(rèn)對(duì)方的好處+ 提出反駁的原因
承認(rèn)現(xiàn)實(shí)電影的好處+ 只看一種電影會(huì)讓人感到無(wú)聊or 現(xiàn)實(shí)電影比較壓抑有時(shí)候?qū)τ谟^眾,所以其他電影也是同樣值得看
Admittedly, audiences really benefit a lot from movies that can teach us something about real life. For instance, the movie “Forrest Gump” convey such a message to us: if only there is perseverance there will be a miracle. Nevertheless, some of realistic movies reveal some dark sides of the reality society, like inequalities in wealth or school bullying, which may make audiences feel depressed after viewing. In fact, other types of movies can provide people with different experiences.
P3- 主體段1 (主題句+論證解釋+細(xì)節(jié)擴(kuò)展)
喜劇片通過(guò)夸張的表語(yǔ)和搞笑的臺(tái)詞讓觀眾們大笑來(lái)放松壓力
Comedies are worth watching, for they give us a real good way to relax ourselves.It is because the only goal that the comedies try to achieve is to make people laugh and laughing is in fact proven by science to be one of best medicines to alleviate pressure, pain or depression. I still can remember when I was preparing for the college entrance examination--a make-or-break exam that even determines one’s future--the most enjoyable thing was to watch a Jim Carrey movie after a whole day’s hard work. Through those hilarious plots and exaggerating acting of Jim Carrey, my intense minds suddenly got relaxed.
P4- 主體段2 (主題句+論證解釋+細(xì)節(jié)擴(kuò)展)
恐怖片讓人能在安全的環(huán)境下體驗(yàn)恐懼的刺激。
Another kind of movies, scary movie, is also worth watching because it allows people to experience the excitement of horror under a safe circumstance.In most cases, people are pursuing happiness while avoiding risks,but human being’s nature of curiosity sometimes makes us want to experience those fearful feelings that we hate to have in real life. Though this kind of mind maybe paradoxical, but it does exist sometimes. For example, almost every scary-movie lover enjoys the moment when they breathed a sigh of relief at the end of the movie.Vicariously sharing the experience of others can be a kind of happiness.
P5- 結(jié)尾段(重申觀點(diǎn),歸納理由):
In conclusion, it is smooth to infer that only watching movie that can teach us something about real life is rather absurd. It is because comedy and scary movies are also important to our lives by making audiences release pressure and experiencing the excitement of horror.
通過(guò)閱讀上面的范文大家基本可以認(rèn)識(shí)到【絕】對(duì)詞類型的題目反駁立場(chǎng)的整體結(jié)構(gòu),就是在讓步段先承認(rèn)絕題目觀點(diǎn)的合理性,但是之后需要通過(guò)指出存在的問(wèn)題或是不合理性來(lái)反駁其【絕】對(duì)性,之后再寫兩個(gè)主體段給出反例即可。
大家可以用下面的題目自己試試練習(xí)一下這種結(jié)構(gòu)的寫法哈
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
The best way to reduce air pollution is for the government to raise the cost of fuel (petrol).
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
The most important investment of a company is to improve the skills of its employees.
