常考的托福独立写作话题主要有:教育类、社会类以及生活方式类,但是像交通类这样的小话题,也会偶尔在考试中露个面,让你措手不及。所以,提前准备好这类话题的写作思路和答题方向是很有必要的。所以,今天,前程百利小编就和大家分享一下托福独立写作交通类话题的写作思路和答题方向等。当你再次遇到这类写作话题时,能瞬间破解这类难题。
首先,一提到交通类的话题,我们不难想到现在的交通状况。除了堵车,还是让你闹心的堵车问题。所以,交通堵塞一定是考试中会提及的一类话题。
其次,就是交通事故的问题,不管是由于不遵守交通秩序的闯红灯,还是酒驾,都成为近几年交通部门查处的重点。
最后,交通方面,可能会考有关交通改善到的问题:减少私家车的使用,促进公共交通的运行等。
所以,从以上三个方面来准备托福写作交通类话题,还是很靠谱的。
下面,我们根据一道托福独立写作的真题,看一下交通类话题的考查方向和写作思路。
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
People will reduce car use in the next 20 years.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
题目中提到了20年后,小汽车的使用会减少,正如上面提到的第三点。
题目是表示的一个预想,即“一个结果”,所以,我们就要从 “为什么”会产生这样一个结果的角度出发。为什么小汽车的数量会减少呢?主要有以下3个方面:
分论点1
政府对公共交通设施的投入及政策,会更加促进人们减少car use,而选择公共交通。
分论点2
油价上涨及其他费用(如停车费等)等因素会致使使用汽车的人减少。
分论点3
过多的汽车导致了严重的环境问题,为了保护环境,会有越来越多的人加入“绿色出行”的行列。
这样,完整的写作思路就出来了。那么怎么把写作思路,运用到写作中呢?其实,一篇作文的构成无非是:总-分-总的形式。
第一段,往往介绍一下题目中提到的问题,然后讨论一下,表明自己的观点。
第二段到第四段是就三个分论点分别进行论述。加上详细的论据做补充,使得自己的论点更加有说服力。
最后一段,起到总结全文,再次点题的作用。
下面我们来看一篇优秀的范文,看看是不是按照这个思路进行的。
Karl Benz invented the first three-wheel car in 1885. Not only have cars brought people plenty of convenience, they have also caused lots of troubles to society and the environment. The question of whether people will reduce car use in the next 20 years is thus raised. I argue that car use will be reduced in the next 20 years, and my reasons are explained below.
第一段,介绍一下题目中提到的问题,社会背景,然后讨论一下,表明自己的观点。
First, the government will invest heavily in infrastructure and public transportation, which will make public transportation more comfortable. Nowadays, many people choose to purchase and drive cars because they find the crowded spaces and long wait-times of public transportation frankly intolerable. Therefore,The government will devote more than it has done to improve the conditions of public transportation by decreasing the interval times of the subway trains, deploying more public buses, and adding dedicated bus lanes to city streets. After 20 years of improvements, public transportation will have progressed to such a point where people choose buses, subway and light rail over driving their cars for convenience. These measures will put strong downward pressure on car use in the next 20 years.
Second, with the highly rising price of gasoline, car tax and parking fees, more car-users will switch to public transportation as a way to save money. Gasoline is a rapidly-dwindling nonrenewable resource whose price has always been a focus of society, so every regulation of it can arouse close attention of car-users. Besides, Governments are increasing car taxes to fund public infrastructure projects, and parking fees are sky-rocketing in increasingly built-up areas where land is expensive. Many commuters will choose not to drive cars for economic reasons. They’ll be guided by the ‘invisible hand’ of the market.
Most importantly, a desire to protect the environment will be a strong impetus for people to reduce car use in the next 20 years. Private cars have caused a series of problems such as air pollution, noise pollution and congestion. Thus, green commuting—with the aim of reducing exhaust emissions—has become increasingly prevalent. Naturally, with people’s enhancing awareness to protect the environment, more and more people will choose green commuting to reduce their car use over time.
第二段到第四段是就三个分论点分别进行论述。加上详细的论据做补充,使得自己的论点更加有说服力。
Unquestionably, all these factors will lead to the reduction of people’s car use in the next 20 years. Anyway, people will reduce car use for entirely selfish reasons. But by reducing pollution and congestion, the effect will also be beneficial for our country.
最后一段,总结全文,再次点题。
