托福写作    TOEFL Pro forma
从引用经典来看托福写作的首段

        “这是最好的时代,这是最坏的时代;这是智慧的时代,这是愚蠢的时代;这是信任的年代,这是怀疑的年代;这是光明的季节,这是黑暗的季节;这是希望的春天,这是失望的冬天;我们面前摆着一切,我们面前一无所有。我们都将直升天堂,我们都将直入另一个方向。”

        “我年纪还轻,阅历不深的时候,我父亲教导过我一句话,我至今还念念不忘。 “每逢你想要批评任何人的时候, ”他对我说,“你就记住,这个世界上所有的人,并不是个个都有过你拥有的那些优越条件。”

        “许多年以后,面对行刑队,奥雷良诺·布恩地亚上校将会回想起,他父亲带他去见识冰块的那个遥远的下午。”

        “达洛维夫人决定自己去买花。”

        这些语句是否都耳熟能详?以上这四个开头是著名的四部文学巨著:《双城记》、《了不起的盖茨比》、《百年孤独》以及《达洛维夫人》的开头首句,也成为了文学爱好者们皆知的经典。这样的开头,牢牢地抓住了读者的兴趣,同时也使得文章更加有档次。那么我们如何在托福写作考试中也使得我们的文章显得有档次呢?下面给大家提供几个例子。

        例子一:

        It is a truth universally acknowledged that most people search for jobs mainly to earn their livings, but for a person whose philosophy is broader, what he pursues, such as the sense of achievement as well as joy obtained from his vocation, is much more important than money. Thus, frankly speaking, money is definitely not the most important aspect in a job. I shall illustrate the point in detail from the following three aspects.

        《傲慢与偏见》怎么开头的?It is a truth universally acknowledged that 是个钻石王老五就觉得取个好老婆才是真的好。托福独立写作开头段,引入话题时,顺着题目给出的观点,承认在一定程度上,大家公认之,岂不非常好?但是题目观点总有不足。于是我们转个折,讲眼界更高的人有更高的诉求。注意,for a person whose philosophy is broader,前有《傲慢与偏见》,后有《哈姆雷特》,双剑合璧,削铁如泥。再看看,同位语从句、定语从句、主语从句都用上了,句式多有变化。句子也很长很漂亮吧。

        例子二:

        When I was young, I did as my mother taught me and said hello with a big smile to every acquaintance everywhere I went. One day, what I was returned with turned out to be a punch on my face. That was when I began to cast doubt upon the virtue of perpetual politeness and came to wonder whether I had better jump out of the very confinement and be a little bit tougher sometimes. After all these years, I come to realize that good as it is, politeness is not the virtue that a modern man needs to invariably embrace. Thus, I do not agree with the given statement that one should never be impolite to others, for it is a case by case analysis.

        要想引出话题,还可以先讲个和话题相关的小故事。顺着题目说,小时候,我一直是多么有礼貌的,然后,为了引出分类讨论的观点,我们接着讲,但是,有一次,我为自己的彬彬有礼受了苦。看看,what I was returned with主语从句,以及体现出转折意味的turned out to be嵌入得多么自然。下一句,began to cast doubt upon与came to wonder平行,wonder的是什么呢,是whether是否采取和题目所述相反的做法更好。前面都是对题目观点的具体化描述,所以现在,该表明我们的立场了,我们就要把话头拉回来,回归概括性质的话。总体上,我们不同意题目的观点,因为就像前面的故事展示的那样,这是一个需要分情况讨论的问题。
