托福英语写作技巧

在英语写作中，托福考生尤其要注意区分同义词，在选词时要考虑题目和情境。那么下面和来看看这篇如何备考托福写作的文章，一定会有收获的。1. 托福考生应把握好英语和汉语词汇不能对应的部分。并非所有英语词汇都有相应的汉语表达方式，某些不同的英语词汇可能也能用相同的汉语表达，这就使得托福考生在用英语表达思想时面对可能有更多的选择困难。例如 family和home这两个词都可以翻译成中国汉语家的意思，但是这些词并不同义!family主要指的是家庭成员，与人有关，home主要指所居住的地点和住所。2.考生应具备广泛的托福阅读基础知识。例如，阅读一些词汇与社会、历史、文化和政治因素相关的文章，考生在选择词汇时就能适应英语的习惯，并与社会文化的很多背景相吻合。比如英国人和美国人对 landlord和 peasant这两个词的理解和中国人完全不同。对于 landlord，英国人和美国人理解为房东，再理解为地主。而 peasant对他们来说，是粗俗和无知的意思，这个词多少带有贬义。3.在英语写作中，托福考生尤其要注意区分同义词。考生在选词时要考虑题目和情境。因为历史的原因，现代英语中除了英语之外，还有很多来自法语和拉丁语的词汇，这使得英语中的同义词相当丰富。总的来说，英语的母语多为短词和小词，它们听起来简单而亲切，而且它们多用于口头表达。法语庄重而文雅，多与行政、宗教、军事、服饰等有关，而拉丁语则带有浓厚的书卷气。除英语同义词来源的不一致会影响考生对措词的选择外，在一定程度上还存在情感色彩的差异。例如，瘦可以用slender、 skinny和 underweight来表示。用sleder表示苗条是褒义;用 skinny表示贬义;用 underweight表示中性。

To be familiar with/to a culture and its life style is essential (indispensable/vital) to the learning of language that expresses such a culture, especially as far as listening and speaking skills are concerned.

06-9-23

To be committed oneself to (投身于) the well-being of a community in which this very individual survives and thrives virtually benefits the development not only of the society as a whole, but, more vital of the specific person. Volunteer jobs build the physical health of young adults in that both out-door and in-door jobs demands more physical exercise than classroom learning. In addition, such jobs construct/foster (培养) their moral and ethic values, and the aesthetic tastes as well. Why? It is easy to understand. Through doing unpaid jobs for the sack of others, young adults understand the quintessence （本质 quint：第五；essence：本质）of life: to give rather than to receive and get.

Furthermore, the positive impacts harvested from the young volunteers go far beyong the development of each volunteer on the community or society as a whole, they are brilliant, colorful, and significant. For one thing, volunteer jobs directly generate profits to the community, contributing to the economic development. Statistics indicate that my community, on average, gleans（收获）more than ~$ annually from volunteer jobs.

For another, volunteer jobs generally focus on environmental protection/campaign against environmental pollution.

To sum up/conclude/In conclusion, it is beneficial for young people, including juveniles and adolescences/puberty to do volunteer jobs. But, I cast a skeptical eye on (=suspect) the argument that all young people must do volunteer jobs, because it might be harmful to some individuals or families.

This graph shows /gives the information that three stages involved in recycling of the Used Glass Bottles.

The first stage is rather simple. UGBs are put into rubbish cans, from which they can be moved/shipped by trucks to factories.

The second stage, however, seems to be somewhat complex/sophisticated in that it consists of several/numerous specific steps. To begin with, UGBs are washed by HPW. After this, they are classified according to color into 3 groups: G, B and C. Then each group UGBs are broken into tiny pieces which are melted/heated in the furnace. From the furnace comes liquid glass. Together with new liquid, this glass liquid is next moulded into new glass bottles. Here ends the second stag.

In the third stage, newly abreacted bottles are fulfilled with consumer goods. And they are packed and transported into supermarkets, where a new cycle begins.

Clearly, through these stages, UGBs have been well reused. However, how much glass can not be recycled is unavailable only on the basis of this graph.
