很多人知道托福寫作寫一個(gè)好開頭,可以博得評(píng)卷老師的好感,增加印象分。但是托福寫作的結(jié)尾段呢,似乎很多考生就不太注意了。其實(shí)結(jié)尾結(jié)得好,對(duì)作文而言,是畫龍點(diǎn)睛的效果,是非常重要的,不能拋在一邊。
很多人知道托福寫作寫一個(gè)好開頭,可以博得評(píng)卷老師的好感,增加印象分。但是托福寫作的結(jié)尾段呢,似乎很多考生就不太注意了。其實(shí)結(jié)尾結(jié)得好,對(duì)作文而言,是畫龍點(diǎn)睛的效果,是非常重要的,不能拋在一邊。
一個(gè)完美的結(jié)尾需符合官方評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的兩項(xiàng)原則,即Displays progression & syntactic variety(文章的進(jìn)程感和遣詞造句的多樣性)。所以考生應(yīng)該走出寫作誤區(qū),將結(jié)尾段也放在備考的list中,否則在真實(shí)考場中將很難在剩下不到5分鐘內(nèi)寫好結(jié)尾。
要寫好結(jié)尾段,首先我們要明白結(jié)尾段在全文起到的作用是什么。一般說來,結(jié)尾段是用來重申立場的(restatement of thesis),這里值得注意的是,結(jié)尾不要再出現(xiàn)新的論點(diǎn)了,哪怕它非常具有說服力,這時(shí)也必須忍痛割愛,否則就會(huì)因缺乏論證以及缺乏前后呼應(yīng)而失分。
高分結(jié)尾,我們有至少三種解決方法。Plan A: 重申立場+補(bǔ)充, Plan B: 重申立場+反方觀點(diǎn)的弱點(diǎn), Plan C: 重申立場+反問句。不難看出,這三種方法都具備兩個(gè)共同要素:重申立場。得分點(diǎn)即要滿足評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的syntactic variety(遣詞造句的多樣性),也就是說若是機(jī)械地抄題目或開頭的我方立場表述,都是不可取的。
l Plan A
題目: There are people who learn about life by listening to their friends’ or families’ advice. On the other hand, there are those that learn from personal experience. Which one do you prefer?
我方立場:It is better to learn from personal experience.
結(jié)尾:In a nutshell, it is quite common for us to seek advice from our buddies or family when faced with life dilemma, but in most cases, more benefits can be available if we pick up some lessons by our own experience. After all, it is our action rather than other people’s words that determine what kind of people we want to be. (62 words)
解析:這個(gè)結(jié)尾采用的是Plan A,重申立場使用了比較法,這也是托福結(jié)尾最常用的一種方法,因?yàn)榇蠖鄶?shù)寫作題目都涉及兩者對(duì)比。“總而言之,當(dāng)面臨生活困境時(shí)人們往往會(huì)向朋友和家人求助,但在大多數(shù)情況下,如果我們自己嘗試一些事情,往往會(huì)學(xué)到更多的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。“語言轉(zhuǎn)換上,使用了換主語和換詞的方法,我方立場It is better to learn from personal experience,主語是It, 但在結(jié)尾換成了benefits, 整個(gè)句子即變成了more benefits can be available if we pick up some lessons by our own experience.結(jié)尾第二句話,補(bǔ)充了我方立場的合理性,進(jìn)行了升華。”畢竟,決定我們將來成為什么樣的人的關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)并非是他人的言語而是我們自己的行為。“
l Plan B
題目:When people go on a trip, some like to go with a friend while others like to go alone. Which do you prefer?
我方立場: I would rather to travel with a friend.
結(jié)尾: Taking all of the factors above into account, being accompanied by some close friends tends to be a better option when it comes to having a trip. This even makes more sense if one is fully aware of the possible dangers of travelling on one’s own, that is, being helpless when emergencies occur and having no one to share the excitement.
解析:這個(gè)結(jié)尾采用了重申立場+反方觀點(diǎn)的弱點(diǎn)。“考慮到以上所列出的論點(diǎn),我們可得知當(dāng)說到旅游時(shí)有人陪伴是一個(gè)更好的選擇。這點(diǎn)更說得通,如果一個(gè)人清楚地明白獨(dú)自旅行潛藏的壞處,即遇到緊急情況的無助感以及無人分享旅途的興奮感。“語言上的主語替換尤為靈活,I would rather to travel with a friend.轉(zhuǎn)換為了Being accompanied by some close friends tends to be a better option when it comes to having a trip.
l Plan C
題目:Some people like to live in a small town, while others like to live in a large city. If you had a choice, where would you like to live?
我方立場:I would like to live in a big city.
結(jié)尾: Although a growing number of serenity-seekers regard the smaller community as their dream homeland, I still opt for the metropolis for its convenience and dynamic life. When it comes to living, how can one possibly deny that the purpose of life is to explore new things that small towns fail to offer?
解析:這個(gè)結(jié)尾采用了重申立場+反問句的寫法,很大氣。“盡管越來越多尋找寧靜的都市人把小城市視作自己的夢(mèng)想家園,但我仍然覺得大城市更勝一籌。當(dāng)談到生活,誰能否認(rèn)生活的目的不就是探索新的東西嗎?而這一切都是小城市無法給與 的。“ 反問句寫的是反方立場的弱點(diǎn),這其實(shí)在內(nèi)容和Plan B是相同的,只不過用的反問句來加強(qiáng)語氣。
相信大家看完了這篇文章,會(huì)有所收獲,但是別忘了practice makes perfect這句話!趕快試下自己能否在5分鐘之內(nèi)完成一個(gè)高端上檔次的結(jié)尾段吧!
