篇一:廣告讓我們買不需要的東西么?
目前正在美國(guó)展開密集advertising campaign的是哪家公司呢?是Toyota.在faulty brake和sticky accelerator被一連串曝光后,Toyota卻并沒有像大家預(yù)期那樣暫時(shí)保持低調(diào)等事情過(guò)去,反而咬著牙同時(shí)推出了至少7個(gè)不同版本的TV commercials(這在美國(guó)廣告史上也屬罕見)。其中最搞笑的一個(gè)廣告是一位老先生很深沉地對(duì)年輕人們講:“Good companies fix their mistakes but great companies learn from their mistakes!”
但是,美國(guó)公眾卻并沒有忘記已經(jīng)導(dǎo)致19人喪生的“豐田門”事件。Pat身邊的電視上NBC就正在現(xiàn)場(chǎng)直播一位叫Rhonda Smith的女士在國(guó)會(huì)山參加congressional hearing的實(shí)況。Mrs.Smith的Lexus曾突然加速到100英里(160公里),而且在完全失控的狀態(tài)下連續(xù)狂奔6英里。
Six Miles of Interstate Terror 為新托福作文題:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Advertising makes consumers buy things that they do not need.
篇二:電影應(yīng)該嚴(yán)肅還是娛樂?
很多同學(xué)對(duì)于新托福寫作考題:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Serious movies are better than entertaining movies.
想不出恰當(dāng)?shù)睦觼?lái)論證自己的觀點(diǎn),其實(shí)美國(guó)電影業(yè)提供了很多關(guān)于這個(gè)話題的例子。
上周末獲得6項(xiàng)奧斯卡大獎(jiǎng),特別是Best Picture(最佳電影)和Best Director(最佳導(dǎo)演)兩個(gè)重量級(jí)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)的Hurt Locker其實(shí)就是寫這篇作文最新的例子。作為一個(gè)資深影迷,Pat體驗(yàn)過(guò)美國(guó)1-3線城市幾乎所有的大電影院,而且無(wú)論大片還是票房毒藥幾乎場(chǎng)場(chǎng)必到,但老實(shí)說(shuō),這部Hurt Locker我還是真的沒看過(guò)。而且不僅本人,我身邊的所有骨灰級(jí)影迷在奧斯卡之夜后的早晨互問(wèn)的第一個(gè)問(wèn)題全都是,“Hey, did you watch Hurt Locker before?"
根本原因,就是這部Hurt Locker的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)題材過(guò)于嚴(yán)肅,導(dǎo)致它遠(yuǎn)離了美國(guó)大眾,所以雖然它早在2008年就已經(jīng)首映,而且專業(yè)人士一再叫好(critically acclaimed),甚至被一些影評(píng)人說(shuō)成“the best war movie ever made", 但票房卻一直十分慘淡。而且更關(guān)鍵的是在它一口氣拿了這么多奧斯卡獎(jiǎng)之后,我身邊的朋友們還是沒有一個(gè)想去看這部電影的。
相比之下,2009年夏天在美國(guó)和加拿大火得不行的Inglourious Basterds,雖然也是war movie, 但因?yàn)閵蕵沸詷O強(qiáng),反倒凈賺了4億多美金。
當(dāng)然,票房并不是衡量一部電影的唯一指標(biāo)。但James Cameron雖然并沒有拿到最佳導(dǎo)演,這實(shí)在讓美國(guó)公眾大跌眼鏡,但在美國(guó)民眾心目中,他的Avatar才是當(dāng)之無(wú)愧的2009-2010年北美最成功的電影。
篇三: 是否應(yīng)該通過(guò)不同媒體獲得真相
To what extent do you agree or disagree: There are so many sources of information today. People should get information from different sources in order to know the facts.是一道比較抽象的題目,用“經(jīng)典例子”很難論證。也許唯一靠譜的例子是Watergate Scandal, 但這未免也太惡俗了吧?
如果您聽說(shuō)過(guò)美國(guó)著名的攝影師Charles Moore,那么這道題的例子就將變得非?!懊绹?guó)”。Moore是黑人民權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)時(shí)代最著名的白人攝影師,他不顧個(gè)人安危拍攝了大量美國(guó)南方黑人被迫害的真實(shí)照片,包括Martin Luther King,Jr.被警察強(qiáng)行抓捕的照片。Moore的報(bào)導(dǎo)與當(dāng)時(shí)美國(guó)白人主流媒體對(duì)大量事件的報(bào)導(dǎo)直接沖突,引發(fā)了很多主張平權(quán)的`北方民眾南下去尋找事實(shí)真相。
一切簡(jiǎn)直就像是為了那道新托福考題量身定做的。
上周四,Charles Moore在他的家中去世,導(dǎo)致在美國(guó)的主流媒體再次引發(fā)了Charles Moore熱。但這一次,卻沒有一個(gè)人反對(duì)他。大家一致公認(rèn):Moore拍的照片才是真正的"facts"。
America definitely has come a long way ...
篇四:是否應(yīng)該充分準(zhǔn)備之后再采取行動(dòng)?
The Obama Health Bill Rally in Virginia
本周日,美國(guó)將面臨一個(gè)重大抉擇:Congress將對(duì)Barack Obama的Health Bill進(jìn)行投票。如果能夠獲得通過(guò)那么至少3000萬(wàn)目前還沒有醫(yī)保的美國(guó)人將從中受益。雖然美國(guó)民調(diào)一再顯示越來(lái)越多的公眾認(rèn)為小奧是一個(gè)socialist, 但白發(fā)日漸增加的小奧卻似乎已經(jīng)對(duì)討論“姓社還是姓資”的問(wèn)題失去了興趣。今天電視上每個(gè)臺(tái)都在不停播放他在Virginia向著數(shù)千Health Bill的支持者高喊,“I know this will be a difficult journey. I know this will be a tough vote..."
可是,統(tǒng)計(jì)分析卻清晰表明:即使Health (Care) Bill真的獲得通過(guò),仍將有大量美國(guó)人無(wú)法獲得免費(fèi)的family physicians(家庭醫(yī)生)的定期檢查。因?yàn)榕c專科醫(yī)生相比f(wàn)amily physicians收入偏低,所以醫(yī)學(xué)院畢業(yè)生多數(shù)并不愿意選擇作family physicians,而且家庭醫(yī)生短缺的狀況很可能還將隨著新增的3000萬(wàn)免費(fèi)醫(yī)保享受者加入而進(jìn)一步被惡化。
這也就是說(shuō),2009年的北美機(jī)考名題:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:
It is better to get fully prepared and avoid mistakes than to do something first and then accept mistakes.本周末很可能將在美國(guó)真實(shí)上演。
篇五:個(gè)人是否可以為解決環(huán)境問(wèn)題做貢獻(xiàn)
2010年大陸機(jī)考的第三道題:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: As individuals, we cannot make contributions to solving environmental problems. 是一道經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的考題。能不能舉出有時(shí)代感的嶄新北美例子呢?The answer must be a resounding YES!今晚,在北美將會(huì)有近1億人為保護(hù)環(huán)境而turn off our lights for Earth Hour,這充分說(shuō)明每個(gè)人作為an individual都可以為環(huán)保做貢獻(xiàn)。Pat作為一個(gè)從小就不亂扔香蕉皮的好孩子今晚也會(huì)堅(jiān)定地加入到這一行動(dòng)中。而且只要再看看下面的事實(shí):在短短的三年前(2007年),Earth Hour還只是澳洲The Sydney Morning Herald 報(bào)社的幾個(gè)“我”的設(shè)想,而今天它卻已經(jīng)成為the biggest climate awareness campaign in the world,我們就會(huì)更感嘆individuals其實(shí)可以為改善環(huán)境做出多么巨大的貢獻(xiàn)了!
篇六:我們是否應(yīng)該相信媒體報(bào)導(dǎo)
曾在很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間內(nèi)被認(rèn)為是“美國(guó)歷史上最偉大的棒球手之一”的Mark McGuire終于承認(rèn)了自己長(zhǎng)期服用興奮.劑的事實(shí),成為2010年美國(guó)第一個(gè)爆出丑聞的體育明星。
很久以來(lái)一直有傳聞?wù)fMark McGuire服用過(guò)performance-enhancing drugs(用來(lái)提高比賽表現(xiàn)的違禁藥品,在美語(yǔ)中也常用doping或者steroid use表示類似的意思)。但這個(gè)馬克很會(huì)通過(guò)媒體進(jìn)行表演,每次被采訪到關(guān)于這個(gè)話題的時(shí)候,他都一臉委屈,甚至還經(jīng)常帶著自己的兒子一起上各種媒體訪談,刻意塑造“新好男人”形象。美國(guó)媒體替馬克圓謊達(dá)20年之久,可信度實(shí)在未能起到其作為 the conscience of society 應(yīng)該起的作用。
篇七:科學(xué)家是否應(yīng)該對(duì)其研究結(jié)果負(fù)責(zé)
熟悉TOEFL iBT寫作機(jī)經(jīng)的朋友們應(yīng)該都聽說(shuō)過(guò)這道題(已在大陸和北美多次出現(xiàn)):
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:
Scientists should be responsible for the negative impact of their research.寫這道題國(guó)內(nèi)的“小盆友”們舉得最多的例子就是克隆人(human cloning)。但是最近在美國(guó),被人們談?wù)摰米疃嗟挠袪?zhēng)議科學(xué)研究卻已經(jīng)不再是human cloning, 而是Dr. Craig Venter和人類歷史上第一個(gè)人工生命 Synthia(嚴(yán)格來(lái)說(shuō)Synthia并不是一個(gè)人造兒童,只是the first cell with a synthetic genome, 但從理論上講這種cell已經(jīng)完全具有“長(zhǎng)大成人”的潛力了)。
美語(yǔ)里有一個(gè)很地道的俗語(yǔ)叫play God,就是指那種對(duì)他人的命運(yùn)指手畫腳的行為,而這一次Dr. Craig Venter是實(shí)實(shí)在在的扮演了一次上帝造物的角色,在美國(guó)甚至已經(jīng)有人提出他應(yīng)該被授予明年的諾貝爾生物學(xué)獎(jiǎng)。全人類都將密切關(guān)注the first cell with a synthetic genome將帶來(lái)的革命或?yàn)?zāi)難。
篇八:政府應(yīng)該集中保護(hù)環(huán)境還是發(fā)展經(jīng)濟(jì)
新托福寫作中有一道環(huán)境類名題:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:
Governments should focus on the preservation of the environment than on the economic development.
這道題說(shuō)理不算太難,但舉例的時(shí)候卻很難找到真正to-the-point的實(shí)例。
其實(shí)目前正在美國(guó)引起軒然大波(is causing quite a stir)的墨西哥灣漏油事件(the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill / BP Oil Spill)就是最新也最扣題的好例子。
小奧不僅在和Larry King的訪談中高喊“我已經(jīng)出離憤怒(I'm furious!)",而且昨天第三次親赴漏油地點(diǎn)視察,超過(guò)了他訪問(wèn)民主黨支持者們最關(guān)心的阿富汗戰(zhàn)區(qū)的次數(shù)。
更重要的是,由于漏油還在不斷漂浮并且已經(jīng)影響到漁業(yè)(fishing industry)和旅游業(yè)(tourism)等多個(gè)產(chǎn)業(yè),最終給美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)帶來(lái)的損失很可能將超過(guò)500億美元。如果大家覺得500億對(duì)美國(guó)來(lái)說(shuō)沒什么,請(qǐng)想想美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)目前并未企穩(wěn)(remain highly volatile),再想想500億USD可就是3000多億RMB。
解決環(huán)境問(wèn)題對(duì)于發(fā)展經(jīng)濟(jì)的重要性,在墨西哥灣漏油事件中得到了最殘酷但也是最真實(shí)(harsh but factual)的證明。

3. 托福寫作考試有什么范文From Boston to Los Angeles, from New York City to Chicago to Dallas, museums are either planning, building, or wrapping up wholesale expansion programs。
These programs already have radically altered facades and floor plans or are expected to do so in the not-too-distant future。In New York City alone, six major institutions have spread up and out into the air space and neighborhoods around them or are preparing to do so。
The reasons for this confluence of activity are plex, but one factor is a consideration everywhere - space。With collections expanding, with the needs and functions of museums changing, empty space has bee a very precious modity。
Probably nowhere in the country is this more true than at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which has needed additional space for decades and which received its last significant facelift ten years ago。Because of the space crunch, the Art Museum has bee increasingly cautious in considering acquisitions and donations of art, in some cases passing up opportunities to strengthen its collections。
Deaccessing - or selling off - works of art has taken on new importance because of the museum's space problems。And increasingly, curators have been forced to juggle gallery space, rotating one masterpiece into public view while another is sent to storage。
Despite the clear need for additional gallery and storage space, however," the museum has no plan, no plan to break out of its envelope in the next fifteen years," according to Philadelphia Museum of Art's president。

5. 備考新托福考試寫作有哪些方法綜合寫作對(duì)于中國(guó)考生來(lái)說(shuō)是一種全新的寫作題型,在短短的不到30分鐘內(nèi),要讀要聽還要再寫,因此,認(rèn)真的準(zhǔn)備對(duì)于綜合寫作至關(guān)重要。
其實(shí),綜合寫作所考查的內(nèi)容就是大家在大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)的過(guò)程:3分鐘的閱讀相當(dāng)于在課前的文本預(yù)習(xí),接下來(lái)的聽力相當(dāng)于課上老師的講解,20分鐘的寫作相當(dāng)于課后老師布置的小論文。當(dāng)我們了解綜合寫作考查的這種模式后,我們便可以輕松應(yīng)對(duì)。
在3分鐘的閱讀中要尋找核心句和關(guān)鍵詞。閱讀材料常由四個(gè)自然段組成,首段主要用來(lái)提供背景信息或者提出話題,(注意:閱讀和聽力是同一個(gè)話題,極少考到觀點(diǎn)相互補(bǔ),多為觀點(diǎn)相對(duì)立。)
作者的立場(chǎng)或論點(diǎn)多位于首段的最后一句,聰明的考生會(huì)把注意力多集中于首段的尾句,確定作者的立論點(diǎn),從而對(duì)于下一階段的聽力大致話題和論述做到心中有底。隨后的段落展開給出作者之所以立論的三個(gè)分論點(diǎn)或論據(jù),在單個(gè)的段落當(dāng)中,又遵循了西方人慣有的總分模式,單個(gè)段落的首句多為topicsentence,考生可以只關(guān)注三個(gè)段落的首句以快速獲取段落主要內(nèi)容,從而避免全文通讀速度不夠而導(dǎo)致的來(lái)不及看完閱讀。
在聽力中要判斷說(shuō)話人立場(chǎng),記錄觀點(diǎn)和支持性論據(jù)。聽力筆記非常重要,和閱讀中相似,說(shuō)話者會(huì)從三個(gè)方面闡述支持自己的觀點(diǎn),很多情況下,這三點(diǎn)和閱讀中的三點(diǎn)是剛好契合,一一對(duì)應(yīng)的。
但聽力三方面的分論據(jù)往往是從閱讀中無(wú)法推斷的,所以分論點(diǎn)及論據(jù)是需要同學(xué)進(jìn)行筆記的,應(yīng)當(dāng)記的是keywords,切忌洋洋灑灑想記全一句話,最后自己也難以讀懂。
