今天的文章中,将会带各位同学简单梳理一下8月20日和8月21日托福考试的写作机经思路,希望能够给大家的备考带来帮助。
1 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Parents should not express their disagreements to the teacher if parents find the teaching method incorrect.
I agree
1. Teachers have more experience and professional expertise to decide the way to educate students.(老师从事教学工作很多年,已经积累了很多的经验,并且他们会使用一些新的教学方式来引导学生;而家长往往没有这方面的专业知识,他们对于老师的教学方法判定往往是不准确的)
2. Parents may not have a good understanding of students’ academic performance as teachers.(老师往往会根据学生的实际学习情况和基础调整教学内容和教学方法,这样才能够有针对性地帮助学生提高学习成绩;而家长往往忙于工作,他们对于学生学习情况的了解往往不够,不能给出有效的建议)
2
Some students prefer to have their final grades determined by numerous small assignments, whereas others prefer to have their grades determined by only a few large ones. Which one do you prefer and why?
numerous small assignments
1. Numerous small assignments help students reduce their academic pressure.(他们每次所要复习的知识点不是很多,而且并不是仅仅由几次成绩就决定一切不会让他们对于考试那么紧张)
2. Numerous small assignments help teachers have a comprehensive understanding of students’ academic performance.(多次的考试涵盖的内容可以紧跟着教学的进度,考查的内容整体相对来说也比较多;而几次大的考试考查的知识点毕竟有限,不能完整反映学生的整体学习情况)
3. Numerous small assignments are easier to operate than only a few large ones.(小测试占用的时间更少,也方便安排考试日期,甚至随堂就能够完成;由于题量不多老师批阅速度也更快,可以给学生更快的反馈)

When making major purchase (for example, car or laptop), our decisions can be influenced by different sources of information. Explain how each of the following sources of information can influence your decision.
(1)Recommendations from friends or colleagues
(2)Information from media (for example, TV, magazines, newspapers)
(3)Recommendations from sales person in the store
1. The least useful of these three sources is recommendations from salespeople.(他们往往为了推销自己的产品而不说实话,往往会夸大产品的性能,并且给消费者带来一些误导;一些推销员自己都不是非常了解这些产品,所以消费者很难得到非常有效的信息)
2. Information from media can help people have a good understanding of what they are going to buy.(媒体广告信息是官方发布的一些信息,虽然可能会有一些夸大,但毕竟会受到法律的约束,基本还是能够提供大多数重要的信息,通过这些信息,消费者可以了解产品的参数以及一些相关的性能)
3. Recommendations from friends or colleagues are more accurate and reliable.(这些建议是使用者的真实反馈,可以作为自己购买的重要参考;而且自己身边人通过自己的使用而给出的评价更贴合实际,也更加可靠)
4
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
In the past, people were more interested in improving their neighborhoods than they are today.

2. More people get higher education and they have the ability to make their own decisions.(与过去的年轻人相比,现在的年轻人接受了更多的优质教育,他们的知识储备能够帮助他们根据具体的情况去做出相关的决定,而且这比不了解他们的父母所做出的决定更有效)

2. In addition, the education of healthy eating habits require more efforts from government, especially in the inspection of food hygiene and safety as well as publicity of regular eating habits.(一方面,食品安全在我国一直以来都是热议话题。但是由于政府监管不力,有很多商家在食品上以次充好。比如说三鹿奶粉。另外,政府没有很好地强调均衡饮食的重要性,所以很多人会有非常不健康的饮食习惯。比如说,人们由于快节奏的生活大都会吃一些垃圾食品,以致于他们会患上高血压或肥胖而得疾病。同时,有些人甚至不吃早饭,这些习惯多对身体危害极大)
