1、文档编码 : CH9M4C9K5W1 HU3O10E9D4D10 ZQ3M2W9I2Y1英语考试作文如何在托福写作中以简洁的表达取胜在托福写作中,很多同学会认为托福写作中运用长句、 难句或复杂句能够提升托福文章的语言质量,呈现自己深厚的语言功底, 并因此获得更高的分数； 因此他们在备考托福时也花了很多精力在长句的练习上,托福考试时也会尽量使用长句；这种想法的确有确定的道理, 由于新托福的写作科目评分标准中的确有从语法或用词的多样性等角度考察语言质量的评分项目,同学们假如能够娴熟地运用各种句式写出杰出的长句,的确能给文章增色不少；然而在托福写作中一味地追求句子的长度有时反而会牺牲句子的可读性,

2、特别是对一些基础一般的同学来说,有时生硬地追求长句反而破坏了句子的句法精确性； 本文将为同学们带来如何在托福写作中以简洁的表达取胜并给出如何修改的建议：建议一：托福写作中防止空洞的单词和词组1. 一些空洞的单词或词组根本不能为句子带来任何相关的或重要的信息,完全可以被删掉；比如下面的句子：When all things are considered, young adults of today live more satisfying lives than those of their parents, in my opinion. 这句话当中的“when all things are con

4、“ due to the fact that” 就是一个很典型的繁琐的表达方式的例子,可以替换,简化为下面的表达方式：Because our grandparents were obligated to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have now. 建议二：托福写作中防止重复 1. 尽量防止重复使用同样的词汇； 或者有的时候虽然词汇 没有重复, 但意思却有重复； 这时候可以做一些简化的工作；例如下 面这个例子： : The farm my grandfather grew up on

5、was large in size. large 对一个 farm 来说就是 size 方面的 large ,所以 in size 可以去掉,改为：The farm my grandfather grew up on was large. 托福写作中更简洁的表达方式为：My grandfather grew up on a large farm. 2. 有时一个词组可以用一个更简洁的单词来替换,例如：My grandfather has said over and over again that he had to work on his parents farm. 这里的 over and over again 得更为简洁：就可以改为 repeatedly ,显My grandfather has said repeatedly that he
