10、, this indispensable classic is available in paperback and is only eighty-five pages long.托福写作的*结构解析为了帮助大家高效备考托福，新东方在线托福频道为大家带来托福写作的*结构解析，希望对大家托福备考有所帮助。更多精彩尽请关注新东方在线托福频道!新托福独立写作一共有3个评分标准：如何展开论点，如何组织结构以及如何运用语言表达观点。语言的表达是项相对较耗时的任务，不是一朝一夕即可掌握的，因此急需考生的长期酝酿;而如何展开论点，相对应其实与如何运用语言是相辅相成的，同样是需要时间。中国考生写作分数不高并不
11、是因为不知道说什么理由，而是不知道如何用英语恰当的表达自己的中文思路。因此这3个评分标准中最有技巧最易提升的便是第二个：如何组织结构。因此，有了以上的大致信息后，考生就应该多思考如何能在30分钟内缔造出完美的*结构，来获得考官的青睐?一篇好的结构不仅包括必备的连接词和过渡句，自然也离不开永恒的内在统一。第一，连接词过渡句任何形式的英语*中都应该具备一定量的连接词(路标词)，因为它们是有助于读者顺利阅读的“导航坐标”;大多数考生在备考时也的确会准备一系列此类连接词，用于*每个段落的段首;包括有表示“第一，第二，第三”等的连接词。但是单纯有段首连接词还不足以支撑全文的结构，因此考生应该同时准备段中
12、连接词，包括“比如说，因为，但是，相对比而言”等，粗略估计，全文完成下来可以达到15个以上的路标词，不仅承接了全文，结构清晰明了，而且也为时间紧张下的写作减轻了不少字数压力。以下为常用连接词：1， 第一：in the first place/ first and foremost/ to start with/ to begin with/ first of all/ first/ firstly2， 第二：in the second place/ secondly and equal importantly/ to continue/ second/ secondly3， 第三：in the
13、 third place/ last but not least/ third/ thirdly4， 一方面、另一方面：on one hand/ on the other hand; for one thing/ for another5， 表原因：because/ because of/ since/ due to/ as/ thanks to/ for/ owing to6， 表结果：so/ therefore/ as a result/ consequently/ as a consequence7， 表举例：for example/ for instance/ such as/ tak
14、eas an example/ to illustrate8， 表承接：besides/ furthermore/ moreover/ whats more/ in addition/ additionally9， 表转折：but/ while/ however/ nevertheless/ nonetheless10，表比较对比: to compare with/ compared with/ in comparison with/ by contrast/ on the contrary当然，仅仅依靠连接词是不足以表明全文的连贯性的，适当的添加过渡句也是很好的承接手段，如Official
15、Guide To The New TOEFL P263中有一篇关于DISHONESTY KILLS RELIABILITY 的5分范文中就有出现多处明显的段落过渡句，如第三段首“After stating that everyones opinion can be different about this, for me honesty, in other words, always telling”用来承接上下两段，以引出自己的观点看法;第五段首“Although I would like to see altruistic, understanding, thoughtful and lo
16、yal behavior from people, an instance of the opposite”等都明显具备良好的过渡功能，让全文更加流畅舒服，朗朗上口。第二，内在论证统一Official Guide To The New TOEFL这一官方指南中也明确在写作部分提到“但要知道，仅仅使用第一，第二这样的连接词并不能保证作文结构的严谨，还要注意让所有的观点与*的主题相关，紧扣中心思想。换句话说，作文要有统一性，评分原则中提到的统一性，渐进性和连贯性这些都是评估作文结构是否严谨，读者能否比较容易地跟上作者思路的标准。”通过上段叙述，我们不难发现作文论证统一性的重要性。而事实上这也正是被
17、许多考生所忽略的问题。在拿到试题后，考生们不是先腾出时间构思结构框架，而是急着抓住哪怕是一分钟的时间动笔写作，其实如此的选择是要不得的，朗阁海外考试研究中心强烈建议各位考生在考试时不要舍不得这准备的时间，正所谓“磨刀不误砍柴功”;因为只有当你事先构思好而不是边想边写，你才能真正做到论证内容的一致性，观点与论据的统一性，也才能真正取得高分。另外，用最直白的作答应对题目的提问，用单边的手段安排整篇*成5段的总分总思路是十分适用的。当然，尽管此项评分标准相对较易提高，但是并不是说就无需练习了。建议各位考生在准备托福写作时，除了了解熟悉各项原则外，在条件允许的情况下多开展针对性练习，如针对此项评分原则
18、，考生即可练习如何运用连接词，如何安排过渡句，以及如何事先构思，用最清晰的思路，最统一的思想，最直白的回答完成一篇最有挑战的托福独立写作。托福写作常用的套话整理开头：When it comes to ., some think .There is a public debate today that .A is a commen way of ., but is it a wise one?Recentaly the problem has been brought into focus.提出观点：Now there is a growing awareness that.It is time
