托福写作独立写作怎么审题?

托福考试分为听说读写四个部分，其中托福写作是*考生非常头疼的一个部分，在写作中我们往往会遇到各种各样的问题，比如审题不清、用词不准、文章冗杂等，下面我们就来看一下托福写作独立写作怎么审题?

一、没注意关键词

同学们考写作考了这么多年，大多数出题的形式都已烂熟于心，看到题目之后觉得熟悉于是兴冲冲*笔就写，其实，这种看似“熟练”的表象下藏着巨大的隐患——同学们很有可能因为看得太快而忽略某个决定题目意思的关键词。例如：

例1：

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Advertising is the
only main cause for people’s unhealthy eating habits.

看到这个题目，同学们立刻会开始想，有没有other reasons for unhealthy habits，想出三条

如：1. People’s tight schedules do not allow them to eat at regular hours;

2. Sometimes people are eager to lose weight or to keep fit so that they go
on “endless diets”;

3. Bearing heavy burden both physically and mentally, some consider eating
constantly as their most effectivestress reliever.

综上所述，advertising is not the only cause.

这个写法看起来非常完备，但其实犯了一个不起眼却严重的错误——题目不是要我们*it is not the only cause，而是要我们去*it is
not the only main cause。多一个“main”，意思是很不一样的。如果我们只需要*it is not the only
cause，那么找出other causes即可即例1中的写法。但是，如果我们要*it is not the only main
cause，就需要*other causes that we mentioned are also main
causes，这就需要在每一段中加上一些专门的说明。或者，更简单的办法是去*advertising is not even a cause,
直接在每段的末尾加上advertising与该段所论述的unhealthy eating habit无关的论述即可。If it is not a cause,
how can it be the only main cause? 这样一来，就不用通过*还有其他main
cause来反驳了，事实上，*某种cause是main
cause还是挺有难度的，因此笔者推荐同学们用后一种方式进行论述。因此，文章还是disagree，而三段的主题句分别应该是：

1.People’s tight schedules do not allowthem to eat at regular hours, and it
is obvious that they are too busy to be influenced by advertising;

2. Sometimes people are eager to lose weight or to keep fit so that they go
on “endless diets”, and this is more like a result of human nature, the pursuit
of beauty, but not advertising;

3. Bearing heavy burden both physically and mentally, some consider eating
constantly as their most effective stress reliever, and it is quite clear that
no advertisingencourages them to do so.

例2：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Colleges and
universities should offer more preparation for student before they start
working.

看到这个题目，很多同学会可能会这样写：Agree. 1. Students should take more specialized courses
(专业课)in order to be knowledgeable and skillful enough for their future
careers(接着开始论述being knowledgeable and skillful的重要性); 2. Participating in
internships helps students to have a clearer picture of their vocational
development in the future(接着开始论述如果没有实过习，在工作的时候是多么地feel so unprepared); 3.
Attending more club activities is an effective way to improve social skills,
which are crucial for success both in life and at work(接着开始论述good social
skills对职业和生活的帮助).

如果不看括号里的内容，仅看主题句，这篇文章是没有任何问题的。然而，括号中的论述从严格意义上来讲，是不能支持“more”这个关键词的。举个简单的例子：“我们需要钱”和“我们需要更多钱”在*的时候重点是不一样的。如果*“我们需要钱”，应该详细阐述钱的“不可或缺性”，比如生活、学习、教育都需要钱;但是如果*“我们需要更多钱”，重点则应该放在“钱不够”的论述上，*在学习、生活、教育方面的预算都很紧张。同样地，上面的题目中仅仅*Knowledge
for careers, field experience and social skills are
important是不够的，事实上，这些根本不需要*，需要*的事情是graduates today are not well prepared in the
three aspects. 因此这篇文章应该是一篇“抱怨型”的文章，详细地去论述学校工作的不足。参考思路如下：Agree. 1. Many students
today complain that they cannot learn practical skills and up-to-date
information, for some of their teachers are not qualified enough to teach
specialized courses; 2. Since many students are not allowed enough time to
participate in internship programs before graduation, they know very little
about what their future jobs like; 3. Joining clubs is possible for every
college student, yet not every club provide is capable of offering enough
opportunities for students to practice their social skills.

同学们在写文章的时候一定要注意，学术论文写作不是句型和辞藻的堆砌，整篇文章一定是一个well-organized
system，这个system中很重要的原则之二就是——1、每个中间段的topic sentence是用来支持main idea的;2、topic
sentence后面的每句话都是用来支持该topic sentence的。在上面的两个例子中，大家会发现例1的错误主要是main idea没有很好地被topic
sentence支持;而例2的错误在于topic sentence虽然看起来是支持main
idea的，但是论述的内容可能跟关键词“more”无关，从而不能有力地支持topic sentences。这些错误的起因，则是对题干中关键词的忽略。

二、关键词理解不准确

与忽略关键词的人不同，有些同学过于执着于关键词的字面意思，而没能看出其背后的implication，从而被关键词限制住思路，无法下笔。比起忽略关键词，这种错误更常发生在细心且实力不错的同学身上，也很值得大家注意。笔者建议，在写文章的时候要灵活，不要拘泥于关键词的字面意思，否则理由很不好想，就算想出来也很难用英文表达。例如：

例3：

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The government should
spend more money on elementary school education than on university
education.

题目的意思是说，比起投资大学教育，政府应该在小学教育上投入更多的资金。看到这个题，同学们会有不同的看法，大体来讲无非是两种——认为university
education应该花更多的钱或反之。但是，大家很快会发现*任何一种观点都是不容易的。比如说，有些同学可能会这样写：Agree. 1. Elementary
school education involves more students than university education and it
requires more money; 2. Colleges and universities have more sponsors than
elementary schools so that the government should offer more financial support
for the latter.3. Since elementary school education is the cornerstone of
university education, it deserves more money from the government.

上面的主题句看起来是没有问题的，然而在展开的时候困难重重——个点里说Pupils的数量多所以花钱多，这的确是事实，可是pupil人均所需要的经费却肯定比university
students少，*关键的是，我们并没有数据作为支撑;第二点里说校友或社会人士的支持使得大学在财政方便面比小学要宽裕的多，然而，这还是一个没有数据就无法*的观点;第三点里说elementary
school education是university
education的基础所以前者就应当比后者得到更多的预算，这是一个典型的逻辑错误，因此在段落展开的时候将会十分困难。A是B的基础并不意味着要为A花更多的钱。总之，钱本身就是一个可以量化的东西，如果真的以钱的多少来写这道题，在没有数据支持的情况下是很难成文的。许多同学之所以在写的时候觉得自己的文章很牵强，就是因为把该文当成了论述题，而大家要知道，论述题都是要会给出数据让我们来分析的。那么，在没有数据的情况下，这种题目该怎么写呢?找到money后面的implication很重要。其实，题目并不是要我们去讨论哪种教育应该花更多的钱，而是让我们去对比两种教育的重要性，自然地，更加重要的教育就应该花更多的钱。所以我们可以有以下论述：

(Main idea) I cannot agree that the government should spend more money on
elementary school education than on university education, because they are
equally important.

(Topic sentence) 1. Elementary school education prepares children for college
education by teaching them how to learn and what they are supposed to learn.
