篇一：广告让我们买不需要的东西么？
目前正在美国展开密集advertising campaign的是哪家公司呢？是Toyota.在faulty brake和sticky accelerator被一连串曝光后，Toyota却并没有像大家预期那样暂时保持低调等事情过去，反而咬着牙同时推出了至少7个不同版本的TV commercials（这在美国广告史上也属罕见）。其中最搞笑的一个广告是一位老先生很深沉地对年轻人们讲:“Good companies fix their mistakes but great companies learn from their mistakes！”
但是,美国公众却并没有忘记已经导致19人丧生的“丰田门”事件。Pat身边的电视上NBC就正在现场直播一位叫Rhonda Smith的女士在国会山参加congressional hearing的实况。Mrs.Smith的Lexus曾突然加速到100英里（160公里），而且在完全失控的状态下连续狂奔6英里。
Six Miles of Interstate Terror 为新托福作文题:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Advertising makes consumers buy things that they do not need.
篇二：电影应该严肃还是娱乐？
很多同学对于新托福写作考题：
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Serious movies are better than entertaining movies.
想不出恰当的例子来论证自己的观点，其实美国电影业提供了很多关于这个话题的例子。
上周末获得6项奥斯卡大奖，特别是Best Picture（最佳电影）和Best Director(最佳导演）两个重量级奖项的Hurt Locker其实就是写这篇作文最新的例子。作为一个资深影迷，Pat体验过美国1-3线城市几乎所有的大电影院，而且无论大片还是票房毒药几乎场场必到，但老实说，这部Hurt Locker我还是真的没看过。而且不仅本人，我身边的所有骨灰级影迷在奥斯卡之夜后的早晨互问的第一个问题全都是，“Hey, did you watch Hurt Locker before?"
根本原因,就是这部Hurt Locker的战争题材过于严肃，导致它远离了美国大众，所以虽然它早在2008年就已经首映，而且专业人士一再叫好（critically acclaimed)，甚至被一些影评人说成“the best war movie ever made", 但票房却一直十分惨淡。而且更关键的是在它一口气拿了这么多奥斯卡奖之后，我身边的朋友们还是没有一个想去看这部电影的。
相比之下，2009年夏天在美国和加拿大火得不行的Inglourious Basterds，虽然也是war movie, 但因为娱乐性极强，反倒净赚了4亿多美金。
当然，票房并不是衡量一部电影的唯一指标。但James Cameron虽然并没有拿到最佳导演，这实在让美国公众大跌眼镜，但在美国民众心目中，他的Avatar才是当之无愧的2009-2010年北美最成功的电影。
篇三： 是否应该通过不同媒体获得真相
To what extent do you agree or disagree: There are so many sources of information today. People should get information from different sources in order to know the facts.是一道比较抽象的题目，用“经典例子”很难论证。也许唯一靠谱的例子是Watergate Scandal, 但这未免也太恶俗了吧？
如果您听说过美国著名的摄影师Charles Moore，那么这道题的例子就将变得非常“美国”。Moore是黑人民权运动时代最著名的白人摄影师，他不顾个人安危拍摄了大量美国南方黑人被迫害的真实照片，包括Martin Luther King,Jr.被警察强行抓捕的照片。Moore的报导与当时美国白人主流媒体对大量事件的报导直接冲突，引发了很多主张平权的`北方民众南下去寻找事实真相。
一切简直就像是为了那道新托福考题量身定做的。
上周四，Charles Moore在他的家中去世，导致在美国的主流媒体再次引发了Charles Moore热。但这一次，却没有一个人反对他。大家一致公认：Moore拍的照片才是真正的"facts"。
America definitely has come a long way ...
篇四：是否应该充分准备之后再采取行动？
The Obama Health Bill Rally in Virginia
本周日，美国将面临一个重大抉择：Congress将对Barack Obama的Health Bill进行投票。如果能够获得通过那么至少3000万目前还没有医保的美国人将从中受益。虽然美国民调一再显示越来越多的公众认为小奥是一个socialist, 但白发日渐增加的小奥却似乎已经对讨论“姓社还是姓资”的问题失去了兴趣。今天电视上每个台都在不停播放他在Virginia向着数千Health Bill的支持者高喊，“I know this will be a difficult journey. I know this will be a tough vote..."
可是，统计分析却清晰表明：即使Health (Care) Bill真的获得通过，仍将有大量美国人无法获得免费的family physicians（家庭医生）的定期检查。因为与专科医生相比family physicians收入偏低，所以医学院毕业生多数并不愿意选择作family physicians，而且家庭医生短缺的状况很可能还将随着新增的3000万免费医保享受者加入而进一步被恶化。
这也就是说，2009年的北美机考名题：
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:
It is better to get fully prepared and avoid mistakes than to do something first and then accept mistakes.本周末很可能将在美国真实上演。
篇五：个人是否可以为解决环境问题做贡献
2010年大陆机考的第三道题：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: As individuals, we cannot make contributions to solving environmental problems. 是一道经常出现的考题。能不能举出有时代感的崭新北美例子呢？The answer must be a resounding YES!今晚,在北美将会有近1亿人为保护环境而turn off our lights for Earth Hour,这充分说明每个人作为an individual都可以为环保做贡献。Pat作为一个从小就不乱扔香蕉皮的好孩子今晚也会坚定地加入到这一行动中。而且只要再看看下面的事实：在短短的三年前（2007年），Earth Hour还只是澳洲The Sydney Morning Herald 报社的几个“我”的设想，而今天它却已经成为the biggest climate awareness campaign in the world,我们就会更感叹individuals其实可以为改善环境做出多么巨大的贡献了！
篇六：我们是否应该相信媒体报导
曾在很长时间内被认为是“美国历史上最伟大的棒球手之一”的Mark McGuire终于承认了自己长期服用兴奋.剂的事实，成为2010年美国第一个爆出丑闻的体育明星。
很久以来一直有传闻说Mark McGuire服用过performance-enhancing drugs(用来提高比赛表现的违禁药品，在美语中也常用doping或者steroid use表示类似的意思）。但这个马克很会通过媒体进行表演，每次被采访到关于这个话题的时候，他都一脸委屈，甚至还经常带着自己的儿子一起上各种媒体访谈，刻意塑造“新好男人”形象。美国媒体替马克圆谎达20年之久，可信度实在未能起到其作为 the conscience of society 应该起的作用。
篇七：科学家是否应该对其研究结果负责
熟悉TOEFL iBT写作机经的朋友们应该都听说过这道题（已在大陆和北美多次出现）：
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:
Scientists should be responsible for the negative impact of their research.写这道题国内的“小盆友”们举得最多的例子就是克隆人（human cloning)。但是最近在美国，被人们谈论得最多的有争议科学研究却已经不再是human cloning, 而是Dr. Craig Venter和人类历史上第一个人工生命 Synthia（严格来说Synthia并不是一个人造儿童，只是the first cell with a synthetic genome, 但从理论上讲这种cell已经完全具有“长大成人”的潜力了）。
美语里有一个很地道的俗语叫play God，就是指那种对他人的命运指手画脚的行为，而这一次Dr. Craig Venter是实实在在的扮演了一次上帝造物的角色，在美国甚至已经有人提出他应该被授予明年的诺贝尔生物学奖。全人类都将密切关注the first cell with a synthetic genome将带来的革命或灾难。
篇八：政府应该集中保护环境还是发展经济
新托福写作中有一道环境类名题：
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:
Governments should focus on the preservation of the environment than on the economic development.
这道题说理不算太难，但举例的时候却很难找到真正to-the-point的实例。
其实目前正在美国引起轩然大波（is causing quite a stir)的墨西哥湾漏油事件（the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill / BP Oil Spill)就是最新也最扣题的好例子。
小奥不仅在和Larry King的访谈中高喊“我已经出离愤怒（I'm furious!）"，而且昨天第三次亲赴漏油地点视察，超过了他访问民主党支持者们最关心的阿富汗战区的次数。
更重要的是，由于漏油还在不断漂浮并且已经影响到渔业（fishing industry)和旅游业(tourism)等多个产业，最终给美国经济带来的损失很可能将超过500亿美元。如果大家觉得500亿对美国来说没什么，请想想美国经济目前并未企稳（remain highly volatile)，再想想500亿USD可就是3000多亿RMB。
解决环境问题对于发展经济的重要性，在墨西哥湾漏油事件中得到了最残酷但也是最真实(harsh but factual)的证明。

3. 托福写作考试有什么范文From Boston to Los Angeles, from New York City to Chicago to Dallas, museums are either planning, building, or wrapping up wholesale expansion programs。
These programs already have radically altered facades and floor plans or are expected to do so in the not-too-distant future。 In New York City alone, six major institutions have spread up and out into the air space and neighborhoods around them or are preparing to do so。
The reasons for this confluence of activity are plex, but one factor is a consideration everywhere - space。 With collections expanding, with the needs and functions of museums changing, empty space has bee a very precious modity。
Probably nowhere in the country is this more true than at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which has needed additional space for decades and which received its last significant facelift ten years ago。 Because of the space crunch, the Art Museum has bee increasingly cautious in considering acquisitions and donations of art, in some cases passing up opportunities to strengthen its collections。
Deaccessing - or selling off - works of art has taken on new importance because of the museum's space problems。 And increasingly, curators have been forced to juggle gallery space, rotating one masterpiece into public view while another is sent to storage。
Despite the clear need for additional gallery and storage space, however," the museum has no plan, no plan to break out of its envelope in the next fifteen years," according to Philadelphia Museum of Art's president。

5. 备考新托福考试写作有哪些方法综合写作对于中国考生来说是一种全新的写作题型，在短短的不到30分钟内，要读要听还要再写，因此，认真的准备对于综合写作至关重要。
其实，综合写作所考查的内容就是大家在大学学习的过程：3分钟的阅读相当于在课前的文本预习，接下来的听力相当于课上老师的讲解，20分钟的写作相当于课后老师布置的小论文。 当我们了解综合写作考查的这种模式后，我们便可以轻松应对。
在3分钟的阅读中要寻找核心句和关键词。阅读材料常由四个自然段组成，首段主要用来提供背景信息或者提出话题，（注意：阅读和听力是同一个话题，极少考到观点相互补，多为观点相对立。）
作者的立场或论点多位于首段的最后一句，聪明的考生会把注意力多集中于首段的尾句，确定作者的立论点，从而对于下一阶段的听力大致话题和论述做到心中有底。 随后的段落展开给出作者之所以立论的三个分论点或论据，在单个的段落当中，又遵循了西方人惯有的总分模式，单个段落的首句多为topicsentence，考生可以只关注三个段落的首句以快速获取段落主要内容，从而避免全文通读速度不够而导致的来不及看完阅读。
在听力中要判断说话人立场，记录观点和支持性论据。听力笔记非常重要，和阅读中相似，说话者会从三个方面阐述支持自己的观点，很多情况下，这三点和阅读中的三点是刚好契合，一一对应的。
但听力三方面的分论据往往是从阅读中无法推断的，所以分论点及论据是需要同学进行笔记的，应当记的是keywords，切忌洋洋洒洒想记全一句话，最后自己也难以读懂。
