在托福独立写作中,有一类关于今昔对比类的题目。在这类题目中,如果是直接对比过去和现在的话,会使得文章逻辑显得混乱,而且没有一个鲜明的对比标准。因此,本文和大家介绍托福写作今昔对比类题目的解题方法,帮助考生理清文章的逻辑结构,明确写作目标。
TPO31:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Because the world is changing so quickly, people now are less happy or less satisfied with their lives than people were in the past.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
这是一道对比类的题目,主要讲的是“因为世界变化很快,人们现在没有之前的生活快乐,对生活不太满意”。对比的对象是人们对于生活的满意程度,而且是一道今昔对比类的题目。正如小编经常提到的一样,解决今昔对比类题目的突破口就是“客观条件”。这里的客观条件是指“经济、科技、环境、能源、教育、交通、通信”等这样的社会大环境下的资源。
将今昔对比的类的题目放在这样的大环境中,不仅能够使得抽象的题目变得具体,还能够帮助考生找到对比的标准,从而在写作的时候能够使得论点更加明确。
下面就根据这样的大环境拆分法来拓展本文的写作思路(反对的角度):
反对题目的观点:
1)科技的发展,使得我们的生活更加便利,帮助节省时间;
2)新能源的发展能够代替就能源,使得环境得到改善;
3)通信的发展,使得人们之间交流、沟通更加便利。
那么,根据以上的写作思路,怎么单间文章的结构呢?一起看一下:
首先,文章的开头段要通过描写和话题相关的内容,从而交代背景,更好地引出本文的话题。首段最后的部分要直接提出自己的观点。
(交代现在社会的发展状况,给出一些观点)In modern society, there is no denying that our paces speed up. A small proportion of people who cannot keep up with this trend or resist the world for the fittest, may hold a viewpoint that a mutable society leads people to less satisfaction and mitigation of sense of happiness since such a world might cause the alienation between good fellows and contamination of our environment; however, in my view, it is not the case. (直接、明了地提出自身观点)As a matter of fact, in a world changing more rapidly, people tend to become satisfied much more easily.
其次,中间段部分是文章的主体段,一般来说可以用2-3段的分论点来展开论述自己的观点。下面两个分论点足以支撑观点,也是可取的。
分论点1:First illustration which can demonstrate my opinion can be the trail of technological development. In the past five decades, millions of new inventions had appeared, entering our daily life, making it much more convenient.……
“科技的发展,使得我们的生活更加便利,帮助节省时间”。后面用一个实际的例子来支撑分论点的正确性。
分论点2:Second demonstration which can help me develop my view that a rapidly changing society makes people more satisfied is the use of new energy resources. We may still remember the Great Smog, one of the gravest air pollution accidents in our history due to the heavily gathered inversion layer of sulfur dioxide originated with burning of coal in 1950s, London. ……
“新能源的发展能够代替就能源,使得环境得到改善”。后面用过去的实际案例支撑分论点,更容易引起读者的共鸣。
最后,结尾段的部分主要是一个总结的作用。不仅仅是总结上文的内容,更要总结自己的观点,从而起到强调的作用,使得前后呼应,文章结构更加严谨。
To draw a conclusion, in a world that is rapidly changing, we are offered a variety of brand-new experiences and highly evolved products, which make life much easier than before. We are in a world filled with convenience brought by high technologies that develop so fast. Then, how can we blame on the changing world while enjoying happiness and satisfactions originated from them?
