托福写作如何变得简洁?在托福写作中,很多考生为了追求字数或是一些复杂繁琐的花式句型从而使得自己的文章变得罗里吧嗦,十分的不简洁,让考官读上去云里雾里,不知道整篇文章的重点是什么。鉴于以上问题,南京托福培训小编为大家罗列了以下几点建议,大家在备考时可以参考使用。
建议一: 避免空洞的单词和词组
1. 在托福写作中,一些空洞的单词或词组根本不能为句子带来任何相关的或重要的信息,完全可以被删掉。比如下面的句子:
When all things are considered, young adults of today live more satisfying lives than those of their parents, in my opinion.
这句话当中的“when all things are considered”和“in my opinion“都显得多余。完全可以去掉。
老师讲解:如何才能让你的写作文章变简洁
改为:Young adults of today live more satisfying lives than their parents.
2. 有些空洞和繁琐的表达方式可以进行替换。例如:
Due to the fact that our grandparents were under an obligation to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have at this point in time.
“due to the fact that”就是一个很典型的繁琐的表达方式的例子,可以替换,简化为下面的表达方式:
Because our grandparents were obligated to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have now.
建议二: 避免重复
1. 在托福写作中,尽量避免重复使用同样的词汇。或者有的时候虽然托福词汇没有重复,但意思却有重复。这时候可以做一些简化的工作。例如下面这个例子::
The farm my grandfather grew up on was large in size.
large 对一个farm来说就是size方面的large,所以in size可以去掉,改为:
The farm my grandfather grew up on was large.
更简洁的表达方式为:
My grandfather grew up on a large farm.
2. 有时一个词组可以用一个更简单的单词来替换。例如:
My grandfather has said over and over again that he had to work on his parents' farm.
这里的over and over again就可以改为repeatedly,显得更为简洁:
My grandfather has said repeatedly that he had to work on his parents' farm.
以上就是托福写作如何变得简洁的全部介绍,建议大家在考试时要以简洁明了为原则,千万不要盲目的追求句式复杂,以免发生语法、词汇这样的基础错误,就太可惜了。最后,南京托福培训在这里预祝各位考生都能顺利通过托福考试,实现自己心中的留学梦!
