2016年3月19日托福寫作真題及答案解析

綜合寫作

　　閱讀：Titan有三個unusual features很難解釋

　　第一段：軌道不正常，其他衛星的軌道都是近乎圓形，而它的是偏橢圓

　　第二段：有massive depressions出現在兩極, 別的星球有depression是因為有火山，而沒證據表明它周圍有火山

　　第三段：沙丘的方向，sand dunes，別的星球上沙丘的slope方向和風的方向是一致的，而Titan上是相反的

　　聽力：閱讀里說的三個特質可以被解釋

　　第一段：Titan周圍有很多moon組合在一起，軌道交錯，因此互相影響

　　第二段：形成原因和地球上類似，rainfall collects water，石頭被液體溶解，長時間形成坑

　　第三段：Titan和地球不一樣，沙子太重，普通的風太弱吹不動，最近一個westward storm比往常的風大10倍，而且方向相反，所以能吹動沙子。

　　獨立寫作

　　Students in a university club want to help others, but they can only choose one project a year, which one of the following is the best? 1. help those students in a nearby primary school with reading and mathematics; 2. help people who cannot afford to build or rent a home to build a house; 3. visit and assist elderly people with daily tasks.

　　三選一：大學社團選擇一個援助項目：1. 給附近的小學生提供閱讀和數學輔導;2. 給沒能力支付住房的人建房子;3. 拜訪并協助老年人完成日常瑣事。

　　分析題型：三選一的題目，最好三個觀點都分析到。文章結構可以選擇兩段或三段式，非常靈活。既可以段間對比，三個選項各占一段;又可以段內對比，找出兩到三個可以對比的點，分別把三個選項對比一番。

　　解題思路：本題為教育類話題，大學生社團活動，給出的三個選項可以結合教育類的常用思路：是否能提高學生的綜合能力、該活動對大學生來講是否可行等。

　　范文：

　　Student clubs, from the first day they came into being, have been encouraged and supported by universities throughout the world. With the aim of enriching the social, practical and academic experiences, they have also gained popularity among both parents and students. Usually, the club activities should be feasible and beneficial to students in one way or another. Therefore, compared with tutoring primary school students and dealing with daily tasks for the old, I think building houses is a project that will yield tangible results.

　　First, by designing and constructing a building, the students themselves will learn to transfer their academic knowledge to practice. It has been widely acknowledged that the purpose of education is to cultivate talents for society, the ones who are able to contribute to our better quality of life. University students have spent at least twelve years accumulating knowledge, and it’s time for them to show the society what they have mastered. Building a house requires knowledge of various aspects, from architectural design to construction engineering, from interior design to the arrangement of the entire landscape, all of which can only be accomplished with the joint effort by students of different majors. During the whole process, the club members will not only polish their professional skills, but also learn how to cooperate with others in a team. In this regard, assisting the old in their daily chores seems a little trivial and time-consuming, since nothing except a slight sense of achievement will be gained from this project.

　　Second, offering instructions in reading and mathematics to those younger school age children is by no means an easy job for university students. Do not assume that those future social elites are capable of teaching kids. As we know, children usually lack the ability of self-control and they need to be inspired, which means strict rules and proper methods are indispensable in carrying out efficient tutoring. Primary teachers, although not so adept at academic theories, are definitely experienced in stimulating children’s interest and steering their thinking. Anyone without the training had better not to make an attempt, since if they accidentally distinguish the children’s passion in learning, the result could be irreversible. However, there is no doubt that university students have the ability to build a sound and comfortable house for the ones in need. Therefore, they should do what they are good at.

　　To sum up, since club activities should aim at improving students’ ability instead of causing troubles, it is better for students to design and construct a building for the underprivileged.
