  • 美国绿卡主要作用美国绿卡主要作用

    在线资讯

    1.绿卡:拥有美国绿卡后,只要离开美国不超过一年,绿卡本身可以当作有效的入境移民签证,不需去美国大使馆或领事馆另外申请签证。

    离开美国超过一年,必须于离境前先申请回美证(reentry permit, I-327),作为入境的有效移民签证,回美证有效期最多两年。 超过一段时间未入境美国的持卡人,在入境时很可能会被判决失去永久居留权,因为移民法要求绿卡持有人离开美国,必须是暂时性的离境。

    2.成为美国公民:一名合法永久居民在美国境内以永久居民身份居住满5年(或与美国公民结婚的3年),并满足所有移民局所列出之条件后,可以申请成为美国公民。

    公民会比永久居民(在此方面依然被视作外国人)拥有更多的权利(与义务)。其中的一些权利有:选举权;联邦与州选举中的被选举权;携带家眷入美的资格;以及获得联邦政府职位的资格。其他的公民福利还包括世界上部分国家的免签证便利。

    生活用品

    炒菜锅,蒸锅在美国的超市就可以买到,而且价格相对比较合理。

    如果想要吃的更合自己胃口一些大量压缩木耳及密封装调料及擀面杖是必须要带的。

    洗漱、洗涤用品、化妆品绝对是美国便宜

    棉被夏天来大可不必从国内买,带上床单及薄被即可,这里棉被20到35美元就可以在商场买到,质量绝对上乘。

    皮衣绝对是美国便宜,国内正规商场卖的品牌皮鞋千万要到美国后再买,因为一些售价很高的衣服或者是鞋都是从国外进口的。休闲鞋,拖鞋可以在国内买。

    药品不用带太多,这里的创口贴绝对不比中国贵,而且带太多的药物也会增加你过安检的麻烦。

    学习用品

    记事本、指南针等常用的物品是平时必备的,而在美国购买的价格相对与国内要高上很多,所以爱学习爱旅行的孩子还是自带一些吧!

    要带几只自动铅笔,在美国一般都是用铅笔机会较多,尤其是在学校,但自动铅笔在美国较贵,但呆上半年后应该会得到几只免费的自动铅笔,其它文具还是美国便宜。

    另外美国的新书和旧书价格相关不过几美元,所以不要指望买旧书会便宜很多,国内买翻印的书或者是直接购买新书也都不会相差太多。

    关于行李箱的尺寸问题,托运方也有明确规定的。所以同学们最好还是按照相应规格大小制备自己的行李。

  • 美国留学行李整理及托运技巧美国留学行李整理及托运技巧

    在线资讯

    如何整理行李更有效:

    1. 重的物品置于皮箱最下方。

    2. 大件物品先摆进去。

    3. 内衣、毛衣先卷成圆筒状。

    4. 容易损坏的物品,可用衣物包裹着。

    5. 剩余空间可放置手帕、袜子等小件物品。东西放置愈紧密,愈不会损伤行李。

    6. 每件行李箱要写明姓名、美国地址与联络电话。如果没有在美地址,可以写上国际学生顾问办公室的地址或就读学校同学会学长的地址。行李内也需放置一份美国联络地址电话,万一行李外的名条遗失,航空公司可打开行李,找到行李主人的联络线索。

    先寄出的行李:

    1. 透过邮局海运,行李可直接寄达,不必另外办理出入关手续。沉重的档案数据和书籍,为免旅途劳顿,以海运为宜。可向邮局洽谈纸箱大小及重量限制。建议你用最大量的纸箱包装,书只装一半而保留最后两公斤放些占空间却质轻的东西。易损坏的物品最好充塞保丽龙。邮寄时间约四十五至六十天。如果已确定自己的住宿地址,可提早寄出或寄至学长家。有些学校的国际学生顾问也帮忙代收留学生寄送的行李。

    2. 非邮局的海运通常要自己至港口提货并办理出关手续,对新生十分不便。如果行李过多,不妨数人一起委托海运公司报关,并要求提供到家提货及送货到家的服务。运费等详情请自行电洽。至于海运行李,同样要在适当时间寄,太迟会造成生活不便,太早则会因无人收件而影响当地工作人员的作业。若住所尚无着落,以本人抵达目的地后一个月内能收到为宜。

    航班托运和随身行李:

    A、航空托运行李

    1. 每张机票可以免费托运二十三公斤的行李两件。一件行李的高度、宽度合计必须在一百五十八公分以内。二件加起来不得超过270公分。最好不要存有任何侥幸的心理,以免超重而加收运费。(具体托运规定,还需与航空公司核对。)

    2. 由于海运要冒遗失、损坏的风险,而且运费和随机托运差不多,重要行李以随机托运为宜。但是一个人照顾多件行李,旅途上负担颇重,若无人接应帮助,须考虑自己的搬运能力。

    B、随身携带上机的行李

    1. 拿到机内的手提行李并无限制,不过其高度、宽度合计应在一一五公分以内。原则上,以能放入座位顶上隔离仓为标准。

    2. 宜视自己的能力来决定所携行李的件数,尽量以轻便为宜,不要在旅途上增加自己太多负担。

    出国后补寄的行李:

    有些东西可能要等到抵美以后才知道会不会需要。建议你抵美后再依实际需要列一清单,请家人或亲友寄来。因此,出国前决定国内的联络处也相当重要。如果是小东西可以用空运或邮寄来美;若是大件行李,除非是急件,否则可选择费用较便宜的海运或陆空联运。若需海运,则必须有等候约二个月的心理准备。

  • 如何在寒假全方位攻破托福考试如何在寒假全方位攻破托福考试

    在线资讯

    总则:

    1、坚持每一天,充分利用一切可以利用的时间学英语。没有持之以恒的学习和大量的时将做保障,一切都是空谈。

    2、每天听写一篇文章,以此文章为中心,展开一天的学习。

    3、听说读写译五项都要练,以听说为主。

    4、求质不求量,有效利用yeeaoo的听力训练平台,把听写的文章彻底搞懂足矣,不要好大喜功,贪大贪快。扎扎实实,按部就班,是学好英语的必经之路。

    5、把零碎的时间充分利用起来学英语,不断地重复。

    6、听写是个学习英语的好方法,要继续加强。

    7、早睡早起学英语。

    8、抓住一套教材足矣,不要盲目的更换教材。

    9、每天学习英语必须要有详细可行的计划,必须坚决执行,没有任何借口。

    10、相信自己,一定能够学好英语。

    分则:

    (一)听力:

    1、除周末外,每天晚上10:00——12:00听写一篇五分钟左右的短文。着重听力后的分析过程, 关键是听真题,对应亦鸥听力的TPO材料。

    2、早晚都随身带MP3,一有空闲时间就反复听这篇短文,直到听烂为止。

    3、周末看一部外国电影,复习就内容,检查一周来的学习计划执行情况。

    4、重视精听,听无数遍。至于精听材料,我很郑重的说,没有什么比Scientific American更好的了。首先他语速快,另外这个段子时间短,精听不贵多而贵精。时间太长的段子反而花时间太多,效率就低了,不值。而且它背景很符合TOEFL,主要是学术上的新发现什么的,也有助于积累科技英语听力中的常用词。

    (二)口语:

    1、朗读并努力复述听写的短文。准备工作,就是积累素材和锻炼反应速度。这是基础,是决定你流利程度和语言使用的关键,也是你拿高分的关键。我们可以多读些好文章,建议读ETS给的Sample Answer。这个对于口语所有题型的帮助是最直接的,材料就是yeeaoo的口语训练题目,全是真题。那么,针对校园类的话题可以多借鉴一下听力中Conversation对于问题的解决给出意见的句子。把好词好句储藏起来备用,取其精华,去其糟粕。对于开放性的独立口语题,要注重练习。

    2. 大家抱怨说:“对着计算机说,怎么说得出来啊。对着人说都不敢,何况当着大家的面说。”其实很多学生的发音不错,但是却一直不肯开口,最后口语一点提高都没有。但是我们说一定要敢于开口,这是最基本的要求。如果连说都不敢说,何以谈备考托福口语,更别谈提高了,用yeeaoo的45秒倒计时录音机,狠狠练吧。

    对于这个托福问题,考生应该做的是:先自言自语。说自己的话,让别人笑去吧!这里的“说”也要有重点,这个阶段的重点是要纠正发音。常见的如th的发音,thanks和speed……之类。要是觉得自己发音比较好,但是苦于寻求充实话题内容方法的同学,可以找出托福听力和托福口语的原文来阅读。其中既有Conversation又有Lecture,非常真实地模拟了考试题型。

    (三)阅读:

    1、每周阅读一份英语报纸, 每次整理笔记。

    2. 词汇的重要性. 每天保证一个小时的背单词时间, 但是背单词会很枯燥, 所以建议同学们参考有趣的记忆法让背单词有趣起来。

    谐音记忆如:lethal可记成“离骚”

    ★ 联想记忆如:battlefield(战场)可以联想为“打仗battle的场所field当然就是战场啦”。

    ★ 比较记忆如:形近单词ethnical和ethical相比,ethnical比ethical多个字母n,这种情况下我们可以把ethnical中的n想成nation,“种族ethnical中包含了一个民族”。

    ★ 发音记忆,遵循了发音规律,考生掌握了该单词字母组合的发音规律,边读边背,就可以很轻松的记住它了。

    ★ 词群记忆如:在背foremost一词时,考生应同时想托福阅读中foremost的解释“leading”一词。

    ★ 拆分记忆如:interchangeable可以拆为前缀inter- 、词根change ,后缀-able 。

    ★ 滚动记忆如:如果背单词表,在第一天背了10个单词,那么第二天在背新的10个单词之前必须先复习第一天背过的10个单词;第三天在背新的10个单词前先复习前两天背过的20个单词,以此类推,另外考生在背单词的过程中需要通过不断做题来复习阅读高频词,因为既然是阅读高频词,肯定在阅读的文章中是反复出现的。

    (四)写作:

    1、争取把每天听写的短文都翻译,先英汉,再汉英。

    2、独立写作好好利用历年考题,亦鸥上也有全套的。综合写作的重点还是听力和阅读,也在注意多加练习。

    2、注意整理笔记,很关键,一定要总结。

  • GRE作文我是如何拿到5的GRE作文我是如何拿到5的

    在线资讯

    原作者寄托名儿| erencie


    其实我GRE是去年年底考的,当时考完很累,又在忙着申请大学,没有机会写一篇总结。但是说真的,准备GRE的备考过程,本身就是一段值得回忆的人生经验。筒子们,不要把GRE当成一件让人痛苦的事去做,而要想想过程中的所获所得,这样子你的学习效率会更高,而且你不仅仅是在准备一个考试,更学到了很多东西,打开了一个新的视野去看待。


    1)选用好的工具去准备复习。


    我们生活在一个有各种方便学习工具的年代,应该好好利用这些东西来准备GRE。在这里我推荐以下几种我用过的:


    a.有道词典 (这个APP可以装在手机上,可以装在电脑上,不管android/iOS还是windows/Mac都有版本,里面最有用的是一个叫有道单词本的东西,记过的单词,可以储存起来,随时随地都可以看,还可以自行customize测试题)


    b.你的手机里的各种GRE做题程序。尤其推荐iPad上一款叫GRE+, 由Arcadia Prep, Inc准备的数学题。非常好。


    c.EverNote (一个我放在iPad上可以随时记作文灵感的app,手机上也有,记录了所有的作文题,没事翻出来一个看看然后想points)


    2)浏览有用的网站


    寄托、CD这些国内知名的GRE备考网站我就不提了。


    推荐Magoosh GRE blog。这个网站真的非常好。大家应该去看。比什么Kaplan, Princeton Review来好得多,对GRE的分析很到位,很细腻。


    3)看一些英文的新闻


    比较简单的英文文章可以在The Atlantic, Good Magazine, New York Times看到。还有比较晦涩难懂的,譬如Barnes & Noble Review。鉴于GRE经常时不时考一些book review的文章,看这个会有帮助。


    啊,有点扯题了。我好想本来应该讨论作文的,结果讨论成笼统的整个gre了。好吧,我现在开始讲我怎么准备作文的。


    1)首先是搜集材料。


    写GRE作文里面有一个很有用的论证方法就是举例论证。当然有很多更抽象的方法可以来证明我们的观点。但是举例论证无疑是最容易的。那么例子从哪里来呢?与其去学习其他GRE作文的例子,不如自己搜集例子,这样可以避免抄袭。而且自己得来的资料自己也比较熟悉。不会说临时忘记时间人物地点什么的。例子不宜多。太多记不住。每个分类的记录几个正的反的。比如,关于政治家的ethic problem,可以用克林顿,或者尼克松来做例子。每个分类都应该有自己的例子。政治有政治的例子。历史有历史的例子。教育有教育的例子。如果能用时下最新新闻里报道的一些事来做例子,那是再好不过。让改卷人耳目一新,而不是一直看着那几个翻来覆去反复使用的旧故事。


    2)分类准备points


    这里我强烈推荐大家去用《谁来拯救我的GRE ISSUE》一书。寄托里有人分享下载。当然,我没有那么多的时间,去整本看完。我主要是看它的分类。一共有五大分类:历史文化传播, 思想文化行为,成长学习教育,政治法律社会,科技生活时代。每个大分类之下,又把类似的文章分成几个小类别。所以,只要这些小类别,你都去想想一些points,正反的观点。然后看看你那几个自己备用的例子能不能adapt上去,就相当于整个题目你已经提前审题好了。


    我来一个example吧,关于政治家的道德, 有以下两个小题目:


    104: To be an effective leader, a public official must maintain the highest ethical and moral standards. (Claim)


    107: To be an effective leader, a public official must maintain the highest ethical and moral standards. (Statement)


    我的提纲是这样的:


    Introduction: I fundamentally agree that public officials must adhere to high ethical and moral standards which are beneficial to the their leadership as well as the society, although it is not their political duty to pursue the highest uprightness in morality.


    First of all, public morality and successful leadership are for sure closely connected.


    Consider many leaders, such as Hitler, whom most people would agree were egregious violators of public morality -> such leaders forfeit their leadership as a result of the immoral means by which they obtained or wielded their power.


    Watergate scandal (a break-in into Democratic National Committee offices before American election and the subsequent attempts in cover-up by Nixon; Nixon administrations abuse of power toward the goal of undermining political opposition). President Nixon, whose contempt for the very legal system that afforded him his leadership led to his forfeiture of it.


    The leader has a social responsibility to be morally upright in order to set a good example for the society


    All the people who deal with him, whether those working under him or the common people , look up to him. He has responsibilities that he has to fulfill. Such an official needs to be exemplary by setting moral standards . This is because a good leader should act as a motivator and the best motivation to adhere to rules and regulations can be provided by a leader if he practices the regulations himself.


    Bill Clinton: Although he was involved in the Lewinsky Scandal , he was considered to be an effective leader. But immorality is very infectious and could creep into the system very quickly . Thus people who would not support my stand could have Mr. Clinton as an excuse for being effective without being a man of morals and integrity. If moral values are compromised by leaders or if they are found to be involved in scandals , their image is smeared in the eyes of the people . Their decisions are scrutinized and their motives will be doubted. This would lead to ineffective leadership. He could have been a more effective leader if he would not have been involved in such a scandal. He admitted his mistake and finally he ,too stuck to morality to salvage his lost pride .


    However, it is unrealistic to demand highest or complete pureness in politicians morality.


    In Machiavellians political thoughts, it is of most importance for politicians to maintain his power and orderliness of the state instead of pursuit of justice.


    Politicians are ruling a world which is itself not morally good.

    Some prominent figures lie, not for self-serving reasons, but in attempt to secure what they saw as morally important political goals.


    In those elections, you cant expect whatever the candidate says is true. They are using political tactics or tricks to convince the electorate to vote for them.


    As long as ... then it is okay.


    这个提纲可能过于详细了。但是你要知道,经常这样去brainstorm,有时候一个题目总是忍不住就会有很多想法,于是灵感就来了。东西也写出来了。再给一个比较难的提纲,关于艺术的。同样,是《谁来拯救我的GRE ISSUE》那本书的一个分类,叫“艺术与可理解性”。


    55: In order for any work of art—for example, a film, a novel, a poem, or a song—to have merit, it must be understandable to most people. (Statement)


    Introduction: I fundamentally disagree with the claim because there are many invaluable artistic works which are not understood by most common people. (首先想好自己的立场)


    1.The artists might be ahead of time and produce works which are not appreciated and understood by contemporary people. (灵感来了,记下)


    1.Visual arts, Vincent van gogh. (梵高的例子。这个例子去wikipedia熟悉一下,以后艺术的题还可以重复用)


    2.Nowadays people appreciate the impressive strokes and colors used in his paintings. Many works received high acclaims such as the starry night.


    3.However his works were ignored when he was alive.


    2.The artistic beauty of a good piece of work might be appealing even though people do not truly understand its meaning.


    1.song can be merited even if its lyrics are not understandable. The music of the song can be appealing even though it is in a different language. The synthesis of sounds of various musical instruments can create an extremely mellifluous tune attracting people and surpassing the fact that they do not understand its meaning. This explains songs being popular globally.


    2.People feel the emotions, although they interpret it differently in mixture with their emotions.


    3.Sometimes the merits of a work can only be judged by select group of people.


    1.Shakespeares works.


    2.There are very few people who understand Shakespeare’s plays in its original form. Yet it is truly known work of merit. This is because people need a level of literary skills to be able to comprehend it. This brings it to a higher than the ordinary literary works and sets it apart. The very fact that most people cannot understand some literary works grants it merit, as it needs skill to understand it.


    还有法律方面的提纲,一个小分类叫“不公平的法律”。


    Every individual in a society has a responsibility to obey just laws and to disobey and resist unjust laws.


    Introduction: I fundamentally agree that we should obey just laws and stand against unjust laws, though the definitions of just and unjust should not clearly stated.


    Just: agreed by the majority of rational adults and has an intended purpose to maintain stability and prosperity of the society.


    Unjust: disagreed by majority and are meant to harm the society as a whole.


    People need to strictly abide by the just laws to ensure orderliness of the society, and consequently benefit each of us.

    speed limit in highways. Anyone violating it must be fined or jailed.


    Need to obey to ensure safety and well being of all road users.


    2. Some laws are based on racial or gender discrimination and are inherently unfair.


    Women in Islamic countries


    According to no. 308 in Jordanian criminal laws, rapist can be exonerated if he wants to marry with the victim. Otherwise, killed by her brother or father to protect the reputation of the family.


    The women are not treated equally as men. They have very little freedom and those women who breach the laws are inflicted various punishments. If they submissively accept these baseless restrictions then their life would become even more miserable. The women there need to open there eyes and protest against these biased rules.


    laws never consider the well-being of women.


    3. Some Laws are meant to protect the interests of the authority, instead of the people.


    China prohibit public to protest, even if it is peaceful.Disallow people to voice out their own opinions on governments.


    This is to force people to accept whatever the government has done and citizens have no right to complain or protest when they think it is wrong.


    Conclusion. Most people would naturally respond with outrage to unjust laws which violate the common moral standards.


    3)以上讲了怎么去搜集材料,怎么去根据文章分类来brainstorm和列提纲。不过最重要的,是你要有几次练笔的机会。很多人因为对写作文本身就有一种恐惧感,总觉得“不知道怎么写啊”,于是迟迟不去动笔。这是错误的。从来不去尝试,根本找不到感觉,就算你列再多的提纲,看再多的范文,也很难有那种考场上笔很顺的感觉。另外一个极端的情况是,不停的写,不停的写,却从来不去问自己有哪些地方需要improve,这也是错误的。对于语法错误,当然找个朋友帮忙看一下是没问题。但是有一些逻辑上的错误,其实平时不一定要直接把作文给朋友看(朋友可能很忙),而是跟朋友讨论一下,这样一个题目,我这样一个思路,逻辑对不对,好不好,会不会很幼稚,会不会很怪,有没有更让人耳目一新的表达手法,等等。关于开写,最需要把握的是自己的时间。


    有两种写作时间的掌控方法。


    3.1)一种是按部就班。先花五分钟涉及全文思路,然后开始introduction, paragraph 1, paragraph 2那样写个梗概。例子先不写。论证先不写。但是有个文章的枝干在那里。直到所有的points都列出来了,开始填进去例子和论证。


    3.2)有些人容易在introduction那里卡半天。这种情况我建议直接开始写paragraph 1,然后文章轴心部分写完了,回头填一个introduction。可以避免浪费时间在introduction上,导致文章主干部分没时间写。


    我个人是属于3.2比较适用的。大家可以根据自己的情况酌情进行处理。


  • GRE阅读:如何正确猜测文章中的生词GRE阅读:如何正确猜测文章中的生词

    在线资讯

    GRE阅读理解篇章由多个论点组成,论点由作为论据的句子构成,句子本身的典型构成是前后句由表示论证关系的词汇连接,而体现论证意义的词汇最重要。因此,要真懂得文章,就必须把所有那些表现论证的字、词、句抓出。但是我们如何才能做到准确的去把握词义,把握文章的主要内容呢?

    首先,在阅读教学的研究当中,语言学家们发现,一篇文章中不认识的GRE阅读词汇占全文词汇总量的比例只要控制在8%以内,是绝对不会影响到我们对全文任何观点的理解的。基于这一点,我们大家大可不必因为遇到了几个我们完全没见过的奇形怪状的词汇而感到纠结。因为它们不足以对我们理解文章产生影响。

    但同时,我们在读文章的过程中也常常会碰到这样的一种GRE阅读词汇,那就是专有名词,尤其是涉及全文主题的专有名词,难道我们就必须一一认识它?答案显然是否定的。什么叫做认识专有名词?从英到汉的翻译叫做认识?还是知道专有名词的特征叫做认识?我们在阅读理解中有没有遇到过这样的问题提法:What is sedge root?

    我想没有,因为这种问法是在问专有名词的翻译。我们遇到的更多是这样的一些问法:According to the passage, which of the following statements about sedge root is true? What can be inferred from the passage about sedge root? 这些问题的提法却是在问专有名词的文中阐述特征。我们再从文章本身对这个问题做出进一步的分析。

    假设原文有这样一句话:Sedge root, a woody fiber that can be easily separated into strands, is essential to basketry production. 请问sedge root的中文翻译“莎草的根” 能够帮助我们解决阅读理解题目吗?我想很难!真正能够帮助我们解决阅读理解题目的应该是这样的文字a woody fiber (木制纤维)和定语从句中的文字部分can be easily separated into strands (能够轻易地被分割成线)。通过以上的分析,想必大家已经非常清楚地认识到,过去我们拼命去死记硬背专有名词的中文释义是多么愚蠢的行为。因为真正的认识应该是对特征的认识,所以一个专有名词和他的中文释义对我们来说是没有任何意义的,毕竟我们对它们都没有任何的概念。

    最后很多人都说我们可以从上下文中猜出词汇的释义,难道真的是这样么?我认为从上下文中猜出词汇的释义是不现实的。例如有这样一句话“Supernova is a massive star which undergoes gravitational collapse。” 我们是不可能从上下文中猜出supernova的释义“超新星”的。而我们真正能够做到的只是从上下文中猜出词汇的特征:supernova是巨大的恒星(massive star),它在进行引力收缩(undergoes gravitational collapse)。

    所以,以后做GRE考试阅读部分时遇到不认识的词汇,考生可以不用在一个地方一直思考某个词汇的意思,也不要为了一个词汇的意思耽误整个阅读速度,只要继续往下文看,就能找到这个词汇的解释,或者如果不影响理解全文的情况下就略过不看。

    以上就是小编给大家介绍的GRE阅读词汇猜词的技巧,考生可以掌握文章所述的这些GRE阅读理解的猜测方法,希望能够为大家的GRE考试提供一些帮助。

  • 举例说明托福独立写作两步四句开篇法举例说明托福独立写作两步四句开篇法

    在线资讯

    一般来说,开篇段落的写作可分为两大步骤:

    第一步就是用简洁明了的句子对原题目的意思进行同义替换;

    第二步是提出自己的观点。

    这两大步骤细化起来可以概括为四句话:

    第一句,采用同义替换的方式对原题目的意思进行更改,当然是“形变神不变”;

    第二句,对题目的意思进行解释

    第三句,提出自己的观点;

    第四句,概括自己所提出观点的理由,引起下文。

    根据YeeaooBox上网友对托福独立写的练习情况,我总结了一些常犯的毛病题目来解释这个“两大步,四个句子”的具体运用方法。

    案例1:误解原意思

    Do you agree or disagree: Because people are busy with doing so many things, they can do few things well?

    Original:

    Some people may hold the view that they are able to do things well even if they are busy with doing so many things simultaneously or during a given period. Although plausible at the first glance, I disagree with the statement. Depending on my own personal experience and personality, I firmly maintain that people can do few things well when they are busy with doing so many things. My arguments of this opinion are listed as follows.

    解析:

    文章第一句话不是对原题目意思进行解释,而是采用采取了和原意思相反的做法来进行题目诠释;第二句表明自己对误解题目的观点;第三句话对自己的观点进行近一步的解释;第四句一个过渡性的句子。开篇内容安排倒是很好,但是作者犯了误解原题目意思的错误导致后面整个文字都做了无用功。

    改后:

    When people are engaged in a large extent of work simultaneously, they will not be able to perform all of them perfectly. Just imagine how terrible it will be: too many jobs need to be done by the same person in a given time. Once such a picture appears in my mind, I feel dizzy. To me, it is impossible to do everything well with the limited energy and many others factors .Therefore , I agree with the statement too many things to be done at the same time cause few to be well done . The reasons are as follow.

    Revised:

    第一句话对原题目意思进行了很好的诠释;第二、三句话进一步解释原题目;第四句话提出自己的观点;第五句话过渡性句子引起下文。

    案例2 :语言罗嗦,绕弯子给出自己观点,浪费时间

    Some young adults want independence from their parents as soon as possible. Other young adults prefer to live with their families for a longer time. Which of these situations do you think is better? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

    original:

    With the development of science and technology, people’s living standard has been improving day by day. According to the family plan, one couple could have only one child. So child becomes the center of the whole family. Some of them are even spoiled. Therefore, I think it is better if the young adult could live independent from their parents as soon as possible.

    解析:

    这个开头看似没有任何问题,但是仔细分析就会发现很多问题。首先,作者绕了个大弯才给出自己的观点。其次,观点是对原题目的抄写,改动的比较少。最后,开篇缺少引起下文的过渡句。更大的错误是这个开头更像是一个全文主要观点的一个分论点。

    Revised:

    As we all know, some young adults have the sense of independence in a special period so that they want to choose to live apart from their family, while others still choose to stay with parents in the family. Family can provide young adults a warm bay where he or she could turn to whenever any problems arise. However, considering the sound development of the young adult both mentally and physically, I think to live independently the earlier, the better. Independence is a lesson that each of us must face one day. The detailed reasons are listed below.

    解析:

    第一句话诠释原题目意思;第二句话进一步解释第一句话;第三句话提出自己的观点;第四句话解释自己的观点,引出下文。

    托福独立写作开篇第一段是整个文章的主机调,这个部分如果出现问题整个文章就会黯然失色。

  • 雅思大作文高分关键:妙用反驳论证雅思大作文高分关键:妙用反驳论证

    在线资讯

    众所周知,大作文的写作结构分为四大部分:

    开头:阐述题目背景+改写题目中的不同观点+挑明个人倾向

    支持的一方:主旨句+支持观点(1,2,…)+论证(1,2,…)

    反对的一方:主旨句+反对观点+论证+反驳反对方

    结尾:总结个人观点+建议

    在这一结构中,大部分的考生往往投入大量精力在支持方论点的阐述和论证展开中,而相对忽略了对于反对方的推敲。

    笔者在批阅同学们的作文时发现大部分考生的一大通病是在反对方的部分,不论是字数还是结构安排都不够合理,不是缺论证就是缺反驳,导致反对方的字数甚至不如开头段多,这就等于已经给自己大作文判了一个6分以下的成绩。那么真正的高分作文的反对方结构应如何安排比重呢?下面新东方在线雅思教研中心老师带你一起分析考官的范文来寻找答案。

    题目:Nowadays, international tourism is the biggest industry in the world. Unfortunately, some people argue that international tourism creates problems rather than benefits. Do you agree or disagree?

    这道题是要分析国际旅游业发展的好坏,因此考生可以从好的方面(如促进经济发展,文化交流)和坏的方面(如造成环境污染,打扰当地居民生活)等方面来展开论述。考官提供的范文在这道题目中更倾向于旅游业的发展是有利的,所以反对方就是承认旅游业存在的问题并给出反驳,写法如下:

    Tourism seems to have some disadvantages too.(主旨句:旅游业的发展也有一些问题)Many people believe that tourism can destroy or spoil visited locations, such as pollution and littering.(反对方观点:造成环境污染和垃圾遍地)People can adhere to their own beliefs and way of life if they want to; no one can really forcefully manipulate someone to change from their morals and ethics(展开论证:人们有权利选择自己的信仰和行为方式,没有人可以改变别人的道德修养).However I believe the problems caused by tourism are not something that cannot be solved or prevented.(反驳反对方的这种观点:但是旅游业所造成的问题是可以被解决和阻止的)Pollution can be avoided by increasing usage of environmentally friendly vehicles used for tours and rents, warnings and visual education on littering and smoking; specific times can be allocated for tours to certain areas, such as peak times, where local inhabitants feel uncomfortable due to too many foreigners.(反驳的论证:举例如何治理环境污染和安排相应的时间和场地专供旅游而避免打扰当地人的生活等)

    由此可见,在反对方中,反驳的出现和论证基本占据了整个段落的半壁江山。这里,新东方在线雅思教研中心老师给广大考生的一个提醒,即在大作文的写作中千万不要忽略了反对方的写作,特别要凸显其中的反驳论证的地位。只有这样的结构安排和调整,才能使考生们在考试中一举走出写作的瓶颈,不仅突破6分指日可待,英语学习也会事半功倍。
