　　托福寫作范文

　　Career preparation is becoming more and more important to young people. For many, this is the primary reason to go to college. They know that the job market is competitive. At college, they can learn new skills for careers with a lot of opportunities. This means careers, such as information technology, that are expected to need a large workforce in the coming years.

　　Also, students go to colleges and universities to have new experiences. This often means having the opportunity to meet people different from those in their hometowns. For most students, going to college is the first time they’ve been away from home by themselves. In additions, this is the first time they’ve had to make decisions on their own. Making these decisions increases their knowledge of themselves.

　　Besides looking for self-knowledge, people also attend a university or college to expand their knowledge in subjects they find interesting. For many, this will be their last chance for a long time to learn about something that doesn’t relate directly to a career.

　　I would recommend that people not be so focused on a career. They should go to college to have new experiences and learn about themselves and the world they live in.

　　1. 本文是正正正的大正型支持文章，結構標準，邏輯清晰。

　　2. 文章首段寫的非常標準，簡單明了，并對下文的幾個正文段都用幾個詞組進行了概括，縱覽全文。

　　滿分因素剖析

　　語言方面：

　　文章語言比較平實，論證恰到好處，沒有過多用來炫技的語句，很少有語法或邏輯錯誤，讀起來清晰自然。

　　1. I believe that the three most common reasons are to prepare for a career, to have new experiences, and to increase knowledge of oneself and the world around.

　　此句中，believe后面引導賓語從句，that后面的內容出現在及物動詞后面，做主句的賓語，用來表達作者的看法和觀點。在結構上，此句是文章開頭段的最后一句話，承接上面作者提出的觀點，提出三個分論點，引出下文，是文章的邏輯與層次更加清晰。

　　2. In additions, this is the first time they’ve had to make decisions on their own.

　　此句出現在論證段落中，承接論證的上一個層次，引出論證的下一個層次。in addition是一個連詞短語，表示“此外，其次”，相同意思的還有additionally，furthermore，moreover, besides, also, what’s more。 在托福考試中，考官非常看重連詞的使用，因為這些詞往往可以文章的結構和層次更加清晰，是論證更加有邏輯性。

　　3. Besides looking for self-knowledge, people also attend a university or college to expand their knowledge in subjects they find interesting.

　　此句中，Besides是一個介詞，后面接動詞的ing形式，構成介詞短語，意思為“除了...以外”。此句出現在文章第三個論證段的開頭，besides引導的介詞短語可以承接上文，而主句可以提出本段的論點，這種銜接方式是文章更加流暢。Expand的意思是“擴充，拓展”，expand knowledge表示“擴充知識”。這種表達很形象，很生動，比常用的“acquire, obtain”更有感染力，大家學習模仿這種表達。

　　結構方面：

　　本文是一篇標準的五段論證結構，開頭一段，中間論證三段，最后結尾一段。論證部分采用正正正的大正論證結構，段落鮮明，結構清晰。開頭部分開門見山，出現了 prepare for a career, to have new experiences, and to increase knowledge of oneself and the world around.

　　這三個中間的分論點。作者在論證過程中用到很多鏈接詞，這樣是文章結構緊密，邏輯清晰。最后一段收束全文，是文章渾然一體，看上去一目了然。
