  托福综合写作其实很容易涨分,这里面有一部分原因是由于不少同学的听力阅读已经有不错的基础和得分,尤其是那种得分组合为听读已达25+但说写仅为20+的同学,综合想要拿高分只需做到以下两点:

  1. 了解考官到底期待什么内容,提取关键信息,同时用正确的关联词说清relationship;

  2. 写总结时不要语言不要胡乱炫技、弄巧成拙,重要的是避免错误、传情达意。

  在大家开始练习之前,再次提醒各位综合写作非常注重考生对于the relationship between the reading and the listening material的表述,因此需要给大家科普一下托福考试综合写作最常见的几种relationship,它们分别是:

  1. 属性列举类(阅读说A有几个好处/坏处;听力对这几个好处/坏处进行反驳)

  2. 原因列举类(阅读说A的形成有几个可能的原因;听力对这几个可能原因进行反驳)

  3. 现象证明类(阅读说A存在并给出三个理由;听力不仅不同意这三个里有,并以此直接否认A的真实性)

  4. 问题解决类(阅读给出问题A的三个解决方案;听力则对三个方案的有效性逐一反驳)

  而今天文章中分享给大家练习的,则是第三种(现象证明类),虽然这些分类都不如属性列举类常见,但考试时遇到了就得百分百会写,大家不仅需要做准确的信息提取,还要能用恰当的句型和表达将important pieces of information之间的relationship表达清楚。强烈建议想要提升分数的同学将4月真题模考的范文和这篇练习的范文进行对照,以判断自己是否需要在综合写作方面做更多钻研!

  Testing Format 考试形式

  1. Read the passage and take notes (3 min)

  2. Listen to the lecture and take notes (only play once)

  3. Summarize the relationship between 1 & 2 (20 min)

  The Reading Passage:

  One of the great travelers of the Middle Ages was the Venetian Marco Polo. According to his writings, the journeyed to China in the late thirteenth century and stayed there for seventeen years. However, controversy has always followed Marco Polo’s story, and he has been the target of skepticism from his time to the modern day. It appears that the skeptics are correct. Indeed, it is likely that Marco Polo never ventured to China, nor did he engage in any of the actions he took credit for.

  There are several supposedly original accounts of his journey. They are written in Italian, Latin, and old French. However, each account differs in its details, which has raised questions about the legitimacy of his journey. One critic, Peter Jackson, a British historian, believes Polo’s work was that of a romance writer using the accounts of various travelers who had spent time in the Far East.

  Another criticism is that Polo failed to mention many basic facts about China known to have been true during the time he was supposedly there. He never mentioned the practice of binding women’s feet or tea drinking. He also never described the Great Wall, one of the world’s most impressive structures. And Polo could not speak, read, or write Chinese despite his assertion he had spent seventeen years there.

  One of the most telling facts is that Marco Polo’s name appears nowhere in the recorded history of China in that period. Considering his claim to have been a close friend and ambassador to the ruler, Kublai Khan, and a frequent court visitor, this is incredibly surprising. He also wrote about his role in bringing a Mongol princess to Persia, yet this too does not appear in any contemporary history books.

  Now Listen to part of a lecture

  on the topic you just read about:

  Question:

  Directions: You have 20 minutes to plan and write your response. Your response will be judged on the basis of the quality of your writing and on how well you response presents the points in the lecture and their relationship to the reading passage. Typically, an effective response will be 150 to 225 words.

  Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they challenge the specific arguments presented in the reading passage.
