托福备考:119分网友经验,绝无模板要背机经
2011-08-05 19:38:51 托福备考
1. Q1和Q2完全不用按照 Topic sentence + for several reasons, First, Second, Third…这种模式,因为45秒钟你完全没有办法将3点Supporting Details生动且有细节地写出来。因此,我这次调整答题方法,用45秒钟的时间详详细细地develop1到2个点,这样才能满足ETS的要求。
2. Q3-Q6直接说内容!考前我专门花了7天的时间天昏地暗地练习口语,但总是发现说不完。于是,我索性摆脱所谓的模板,直接将听到的或阅读中的内容。
总结:我从口语23到29最大的感受就是绝对不能使用模板。因为一方面模板都是且陈词滥调,万金油一样的答案,除了让你的回答突然变得莫名其妙地流利以外没有任何好处。另一方面,不用模板可以腾出时间让你说细节,这样更能展现你对听力或通知的理解,以及你真实的口语能力。
此外,口语机经一定要背诵!Q1+Q2要背熟,Q3-Q6可以打进Word文档,多看几遍,多说几遍。小马赐予我们宝贵的机经,不要身在福中不知福,认为机经随便看看就好了。要珍惜这样宝贵的真题经验!因为就算没有中机经也练习了口语。
写作30。不像SAT写作,托福写作非常讲究文章的结构,所谓五段式作文:开头结尾,中间三段。另外每段的段首句都需要有一句概括性的Topic Sentence, 交代清楚段落的主要内容。 另外的话,托福作文就靠自己的个人知识储备了。但是利用“万金油”式的理由也是可行的。其实托福写作就是几个原则:1。结构清楚。2。语法拼写无大错误。3。能够自圆其说。基本上这三点能够做到就不会有太大的问题。 另外关于Integrated Writing,再一次提醒,不要用模板!!!我上次写作只有27,就是因为integrated是fair。现在想一想确实有道理,因为我用了模板,字数虽然飙到了350多字,但是没有把听力和阅读的关系理清楚。其次,我想纠正一个最大的误区:Integrated写作字数不是越多越好。OG说150-225就够了,我这次写了220个字,逻辑清晰。因为Integrated写作测试的是学生的Summarizing Skills,所以不要写太多!!最后要建议时间充裕的同学,一定要练习自己的打字速度,因为打字很慢是相当吃亏的。而且要训练纠错的能力,就是能够看一眼某个单词就是到拼写是否有问题。
更新:很多同学后来向我询问一些关于Integrated Writing的问题。说不知道怎样的文章才算是简洁明了。下面我引用一篇我很欣赏的ETS的满分文,给大家参考一下。来自TPO3
The lecture revises the idea presented in the text, that Rembrandt was not the artist who painted the famous painting "Portrait of an Elderly Woman in a White Bonnet”.
The inconsistency between the white cap, which identifies the woman as a servant, and the expensive fur collar she wears dissolves as the Professor explains that the fur collar was apparently painted over the original painting to increase its worth by displaying an aristocratic woman.
In addition, the assumption that light and shadow in the painting do not fit together is refuted by the fact that in the original painting, the woman wears a light cloth that illuminated her face. Thus the presentation of light and shadow was indeed very realistic and accurate, as it is characteristic of Rembrandt’s paintings.
Finally, the mystery of the panel consisting of patches glued together is also solved in the lecture. Actually, the wood panel was later enlarged to make it more grand and valuable, but the original painting was painted on a single panel, as Rembrandt would have done it. Furthermore, the wood is of the same tree used in other Rembrandt paintings, like the "Self-Portrait with a Hat”.
All this information points to Rembrandt as the painter of the controversial painting.
分析:大家发现没有,这篇满分文有两个特点:1.行文简洁明了,没有模板的痕迹。2.每段以professor的观点起头,重点放在听力的内容里。
大概就是这样了,能取得119的成绩实在是让我受宠若惊。总之英语能力的提升,就好比“冰冻三尺非一日之寒”,需要长期的积累。
