常言道,好的开始时成功的一半。托福写作考试也不例外。下面分享托福独立写作的5中常见的开头方式,谨供参考。
一、开门见山法
直接在开头亮出自己的观点立场,再在后面简要叙述自己的理由。这样写法的好处是直接清晰,观点鲜明。
题1:Money is the most important aspect in a job.
It is my firm belief that money is not always important to a job hunter. Though we have to admit the importance of money in our daily life, it is momentous for us to take other factors into account. I insist that there are other factors equally or more important than money, such as personal interest, promotion opportunities, and the corporate outlook. That is why I think we should view this issue in a more comprehensive way.
二、名人名言法
先是使用名人名言引入开头,之后加上对话题的阐述,最后点点明个人立场。这样写的好处就是以名言引入提升语言文化层次,丰富写作内涵。
题3: To teach students the importance of a subject outside school is the best way to increase students’interest in the subject.
Carl Max said,’ Experience is the best teacher’. To some extent, he is right. As to students who are trapped in dull classes all the day, it is worth trying to increase their interest in a subject through teaching its importance outside school. This approach can definitely help them get to know how theories they learn from classes work in the real world. However, I do not agree that it is the best way to arouse students’ interest in study. My reasons are explained as follows.
三、提问法
该方法由一个跟题目相关的问题引入,之后加上个人立场和中心论点的论述。这样写的好处是便于扣题。
题4:Good communication skill is the most important characteristic for a person who wants to be successful.
Is good communication skill the most important characteristic for a person who wants to be successful?(对题目简单变形)Many people would say yes by reason that a lot of opportunities are brought by effective communication. But I do believe that there are other characteristics facilitating individual success which are equally or even more important than good communication skill.
四、数据引入法(凸显客观性,但是要求学生有所积累)
这一开头的方式首先需要客观数据的引入,结合话题内容进行阐述,最后点明个人观点。这一写法的好处是因为数据的添加使得文章更显公正客观有说服力。
题5:To spend money on improving employees’ skills is the most important investment for a company to make
According to the latest statistics from The Financial Times, more than57.3% of top500 companies plan to increase their budget in staff training. Apparently improving employee’s skills has increasingly gained attention of the management. This phenomenon even gives rise to a heated discussion: whether or not to spend money on improving employee’s skills is a company’s most important investment decision? I am inclined to agree that there are more crucial items which need the company investment other than staff training. The following illustration can support my view of point.
五、让步转折法
首先是在开头部分承认对立面的观点,之后阐明该观点不合理的地方,引入自己的观点并说明原因。
题2: Improving schools is the most important factor for the successful development of a country
Doubtless improving schools/education has played a significant(最降级处理) role in a country’s prosperity. Though I do admit its extraordinary contributions to the successful development of countries where basic living standards are guaranteed, more efforts are needed in other aspects in terms of countries where people still suffer from diseases, starvation, and warfare. Therefore, improving schools is not always the most important factor for the successful development of a country. Apparently this is a case-by-case analysis.
