如何征服托福写作中【绝】对词类的题目
2021-11-04 10:46想必各位备考或是参加过托福考试的同学都知道托福写作中有种类型是【绝】对词的题目,那遇到这类题目我们应该如何应对和完成呢,今天让老师帮助大家来攻克此类题目。

首先,我们要学会如何识别这类的题目,那么【绝】对词类型的题目就必须有体现【绝】对概念的一些表达,比如下面这些题目我们可以观察一下:
①Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The best way to reduce air pollution is for the government to raise the cost of fuel (petrol).
② Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The most effective way to improve the teaching quality is increasing teachers’ income
③Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? All university students should be required to take basic science courses even if it is not the field of their study.
④Do you agree or disagree: It is possible to always be honest with your friends?
通过读题,我们可以很容易发现其实这些红色标记的词就是【绝】对词类型的标志词了。
表频率always/ never/ hardly
表示数量all/every/each/ any/ no/only
表示程度the best/ the most 各种【最】高级/must
在分析此类题目时,同学们可以同意题目中的观点,给出支持的理由,也可以选择反对,否定【绝】对词的合理性。我们用一道题目具体的题目来给大家分析一下哈:
Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Only movies that can teach us something about real life are worth watching.
中文意思为:只有使我们在真实生活中学到东西的电影才值得看。
如果同学们选择支持的立场的话,就等同于认为只有剧情片比如《辛德勒的名单》或是《我不是药神》这类的剧情片是值得看的,其实同时也需要证明其他类型的电影是不值得观众们花时间去观看的,但是在仅有的30分钟的考试时间,考生其实是很难把所有其他类型的电影逐一否定的,因为如下面所示电影的类型是如此的多样。因此,如果决定选择同意,我们只需论证这种表现现实题材的剧情片的2-3个好处即可
比如teach youngsters how to overcome adversities by incessant effort 或是hard-won peace, tranquility and stability should be cherished
但是相比支持的立场,绝大多数的【绝】对词题目更适合的结构是写反对的立场是更加简单和容易的,因为我们只需要给出一些反例来证明其实有很多类型的电影都是同样值得看的,比如comedy,thriller,animation等等就行,但是需要强调的一点是同学们不能直接在全篇中完全不提及movies that can teach us something about real life,这样其实会被考官判定是topic words回应不全面,然后被判定是偏题,导致低分,那么解决这个问题的关键就是需要一个比较合理的段落结构了,大家可以参考如下的思路
P1- 开头段:话题引入+改写题目+作者观点
With remarkable progress of people’s living standard, watching movies has become an indispensable part of people’s lives. Quite a few people believe only movies reflecting reality are worth watching. However, I regard this assertion as overstated, which will be explained in the following paragraphs
P2- 让步段:承认对方的好处+ 提出反驳的原因
承认现实电影的好处+ 只看一种电影会让人感到无聊or 现实电影比较压抑有时候对于观众,所以其他电影也是同样值得看
Admittedly, audiences really benefit a lot from movies that can teach us something about real life. For instance, the movie “Forrest Gump” convey such a message to us: if only there is perseverance there will be a miracle. Nevertheless, some of realistic movies reveal some dark sides of the reality society, like inequalities in wealth or school bullying, which may make audiences feel depressed after viewing. In fact, other types of movies can provide people with different experiences.
P3- 主体段1 (主题句+论证解释+细节扩展)
喜剧片通过夸张的表语和搞笑的台词让观众们大笑来放松压力
Comedies are worth watching, for they give us a real good way to relax ourselves.It is because the only goal that the comedies try to achieve is to make people laugh and laughing is in fact proven by science to be one of best medicines to alleviate pressure, pain or depression. I still can remember when I was preparing for the college entrance examination--a make-or-break exam that even determines one’s future--the most enjoyable thing was to watch a Jim Carrey movie after a whole day’s hard work. Through those hilarious plots and exaggerating acting of Jim Carrey, my intense minds suddenly got relaxed.
P4- 主体段2 (主题句+论证解释+细节扩展)
恐怖片让人能在安全的环境下体验恐惧的刺激。
Another kind of movies, scary movie, is also worth watching because it allows people to experience the excitement of horror under a safe circumstance.In most cases, people are pursuing happiness while avoiding risks,but human being’s nature of curiosity sometimes makes us want to experience those fearful feelings that we hate to have in real life. Though this kind of mind maybe paradoxical, but it does exist sometimes. For example, almost every scary-movie lover enjoys the moment when they breathed a sigh of relief at the end of the movie.Vicariously sharing the experience of others can be a kind of happiness.
P5- 结尾段(重申观点,归纳理由):
In conclusion, it is smooth to infer that only watching movie that can teach us something about real life is rather absurd. It is because comedy and scary movies are also important to our lives by making audiences release pressure and experiencing the excitement of horror.
通过阅读上面的范文大家基本可以认识到【绝】对词类型的题目反驳立场的整体结构,就是在让步段先承认绝题目观点的合理性,但是之后需要通过指出存在的问题或是不合理性来反驳其【绝】对性,之后再写两个主体段给出反例即可。
大家可以用下面的题目自己试试练习一下这种结构的写法哈
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
The best way to reduce air pollution is for the government to raise the cost of fuel (petrol).
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
The most important investment of a company is to improve the skills of its employees.
