TOEFL 的第二篇AD 写作,要求的本质是在10min 里展开清楚的和话题有关的细节。
在细节展开上,例子和说理没有谁好谁坏,两种方式拿满分每年都会有遇到。
但短期备考,要增加细节内容的话,例子是比较方便的。一般同学展开例子的语言流畅度也会比说理时候好。
例子是不是真实不重要,重要的是围绕观点和话题来展开的。
如果希望考场上能复用自己平时练习的时候用过的例子,最好常考的几个话题场景都写一两篇文章。
下面是从目前的AD 考场题总结出来的几个话题场景,如前所述,如果考前能练的题目不多,下面的几个场景可以优先写一下。
# 学校场景
比如(因为AD 的题目比较长,所以下面只是举例了题目老师的部分)
Doctor Diaz: What should children be learning in school? Many people believe that time in the classroom should be spent acquiring foundational knowledge in subjects like math, reading, science, and history. Others feel that it's important for a child's creativity to be nurtured, and thus the school curriculum must include classes in art and music. There's so much to learn, yet so little time in school to learn it all! What do you think should be included in the curriculum? Why?
以上以及其他涉及了学生身份的题目,如果有一个例子的情节是关于某个学生... 的,稍微根据题目改写以下,就可以比较好的用进去了。
但就上面这个题要注意的是讨论的是children,所以年纪会小一些,最好讨论和举例的时候都用children 这个形象
# 工作场景
Dr. Diaz: We've been discussing employee working arrangements-whether employees should report to an office or work at home. Some businesses require all employees to work in the office. Others choose not to have a physical office and have all employees work from home. In industries where remote work is possible what is the most important factor for employers to consider when deciding where employees should work, and why?
Doctor Diaz: Next week, we'll examine some challenges that managers face. One challenge is determining how much independence employees should have. Consider this: many managers give employees the freedom to set their own working hours. For example, an employee might choose to start the workday earlier than is typical. But other managers do not allow flexible schedules, arguing that they create problems. In industries where flexible work schedules are possible, do you think this policy would bring more benefits than adversities?
以上以及其他和工作场景有关的话题,有一个工作人设的例子是比较容易展开的,这个无关乎你是不是有过工作经历,考前准备个就好。
# 社会场景
一些让你给政府给建议,或者问怎么改怎么花钱的问题
Doctor Achebe: Local governments have limited budgets to spend on enriching residents' lives. Supporting arts programs like concerts and museums offers cultural engagement, while funding recreational activities like hiking trails and parks promotes healthy lifestyles. As students who appreciate culture and wellness, let's discuss whether local funding should support arts programs or recreational activities more. Which do you think better serves the community and why?

AD 里关于government 还有各种要不要taxes 的题
Dr. Achebe: This week, we'll be discussing ways to address air pollution. One idea is introducing environmental taxes on air travel. Such taxes, also referred to as ecological taxes or green taxes, are extra charges that get added to the price of airplane tickets. Money collected from these taxes could be invested in environmentally friendly technologies or in promoting other, cleaner modes of transportation. Do you think there should be an environmental tax on air travel? Why or why not?
# 生活场景 (关于Consumption/News/Movie/Book) 最好脑海中有具体的对应
比如下面说到information 的时候能想出来具体的是关于什么的information(可以是关于书的,电影的,手机的,药物的等等),不然全文一直只是简单的重复information,就很难有展开了
Dr.Achebe: Next week, we are going to talk about ways to evaluate online sources of information. As you know, while there is a lot of information available on the Internet, it is not all equally reliable. Not all the information you find on websites is accurate and some of it is even intentionally misleading. When looking for information online, what do you think is the best way to determine whether the information is accurate and truthful?
另外AD 很喜欢考消费,不管是线上消费,还是大店小店
Doctor Gupta: We are looking this week at different ways businesses market their products and services, especially nontraditional methods. One thing that marketers pay close attention to is online reviews of their products. A business might include customer reviews on their website or carefully monitor the reviews on third-party sites. I would like you to discuss your own experiences with online reviews. Do you find them useful when deciding whether or not to buy a product or service? Why or why not?
# 家庭场景
Doctor Diaz Secondary or high school students (ages 14-18) who plan to attend university must begin thinking about what field of study they'll enter. Som students might be directed into certain fields by their parents and teachers. Others prefer to make their own choice based on their own interests and feelings. Do you believe that secondary school students should be allowed to choose their own field of study at university without being guided by parents and teachers? Why?
主要是家长要不要管,要不要给建议的问题,使用手机要不要管,看video 要不要管,选专业要不要给建议等。
以下的不属于场景,但是属于高频会用到的观点表达。最好能做到看到马上能输出个100+ words
#关于科技设备的坏处
#关于环境好的重要性
# 关于exercise的好处
