2009年托福滿分作文魔板提取

　　記得在大學(xué)時(shí)代，各個(gè)大學(xué)的BBS上包括我們?nèi)A工就廣為流傳著“作文魔板”這個(gè)名詞，沒有自己體會(huì)過用套路寫作的人其實(shí)根本不可能理解到這其中的奧秘，因?yàn)橛械娜苏f背“魔板”是不可能得到高分的，而另一些人卻說不背“魔板”得到的高分是沒有“性價(jià)比”的。
　　實(shí)際上，就我個(gè)人而言，我認(rèn)為魔板的背誦是非常必要的，但絕對(duì)不是能是盲目的！
　　大家都知道，我們中國人其實(shí)在英語的聽說讀寫四個(gè)環(huán)節(jié)上最薄弱的就是輸出的兩個(gè)能力：說和寫；而最強(qiáng)的就是輸入的兩個(gè)能力：讀和聽。而如果我們想在出國的道路上成為佼佼者，那么在保持傳統(tǒng)強(qiáng)項(xiàng)的同時(shí)是否應(yīng)該特別加強(qiáng)一下我們的口語和寫作能力呢而根據(jù)我考TSE（TEST OF SPOKEN ENGLISH）的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，其實(shí)口語考試分?jǐn)?shù)的高低（注意這里僅僅是指考試分?jǐn)?shù)）幾乎完全取決于你到底背了多少段落。因?yàn)榭谡Z的TOPIC是覆蓋面非常廣泛的：教育、文化、歷史、生物、科技、藝術(shù)等等，所以這就從客觀上決定了考生必須背大量的段落，而實(shí)際上背的過程中也就是把不涉及過于具體內(nèi)容的話背下來，到考試的時(shí)候再把聽到或看到題目要求的具體內(nèi)容往里面加。一定要注意是從背具體的段落到提煉抽象的魔板最后再回到具體的段落：
　　·具體
　　·抽象
　　·具體
　　下面我就分別以新TOFEL的綜合部分和GRE/GMAT作文的“阿狗”部分為例分別給大家分享一下我個(gè)人對(duì)于滿分的一些理解。
　　TOEFL iBT
　　其實(shí)新托福加了綜合部分以后，我個(gè)人認(rèn)為是降低了難度。因?yàn)樵瓉砝?a href=http://wy.yuloo.com/othe-toefl/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>托福的作文作為新托福作文的獨(dú)立部分并沒有什么太大的改變，而且大家都知道作文水平的提高不是一朝一夕的事情，那么我剛才說的不能盲目就是指大家不能在這個(gè)需要體現(xiàn)真正寫作水平的部分去背段落，因?yàn)檫@個(gè)是會(huì)被認(rèn)為是舞弊行為的。那么在綜合、獨(dú)立各占15分的時(shí)候，我們?nèi)绻�能把握住任何一個(gè)部分的高分實(shí)際上平均下來的分?jǐn)?shù)就不會(huì)低。而綜合部分由于是先讀一篇文章，再聽一段錄音，然后讓我們談文章與錄音的相互關(guān)系，而不用發(fā)表自己的觀點(diǎn)這一題目本身的客觀要求就決定了它是可以背由固定標(biāo)準(zhǔn)語句組成的“魔板”的。這正如研究生入學(xué)考試英語寫作的小作文和雅思寫作的小作文一樣是有固定套路的。比如錄音講座要么就是質(zhì)疑或者反駁了閱讀段落；要么就是支持或者加強(qiáng)了閱讀段落，所以只需要把相關(guān)描述質(zhì)疑或者反駁與描述支持或者加強(qiáng)的固定語句背下來就可以得到一個(gè)相對(duì)較高的分?jǐn)?shù)，如果考生同時(shí)又把相關(guān)要點(diǎn)表達(dá)準(zhǔn)確和清楚了的話，那么滿分是完全可能的。當(dāng)綜合部分有15分在手的時(shí)候，獨(dú)立部分只要及格那么就能至少獲得24分的作文高分！
　　比如以下兩個(gè)“魔板“是分別描述質(zhì)疑或者反駁以及支持或者加強(qiáng)的：
　　Integrated Writing Task
　　How the Integrated Writing Task is phrased：
　　If the lecture challenges the information in the reading passage， the writing task will usually be phrased in one of the following ways：
　　Summarize the points made in the lecture， being sure to explain how they cast doubt on specific points made in the reading passage.
　　Summarize the points made in the lecture， being sure to explain how they challenge specific claims/arguments made in the reading passage.
　　Summarize the points made in the lecture， being sure to specifically explain how they answer the problems raised in the reading passage. 接下來，我將以如下例子來告訴大家如果提煉“魔板”：
　　Getting the Templates
　　The first point the professor makes that casts doubt on the reading is his point about the behavior of stags.The professor shows how the actions of animal can be interpreted in different ways.For example， some people interpret the stag’s actions as being for the “good of the species，” but the professor shows that the stag is actually acting in self－interest.This casts doubt on the reading because it appears that the crickets’ behavior can be interpreted as helping only individual crickets and not the group as a whole.The professor then talks about the results of the experiment， which seems to indicate the crickets are acting only in self－interest.
　　Another point the professor makes that casts doubt on the reading is his point about the intelligence of animals and insects. As he states， it would seem to require a lot of intelligence to evaluate how a behavior will affect an entire species. This makes the explanation in the reading seem less likely; a cricket is probably unable to think of the consequences of its actions. It is more likely that the cricket is only acting out of self－preservation， as the professor indicates.
　　The first point the professor makes that casts doubt on the reading is his point about__________________________________.
　　The professor shows that_____________________________________.
　　For example， ______________________________， but the professor shows that_______________________________________.
　　This casts doubt on the reading because it appears that_________________________________.
　　The professor then talks about_________________________， which seems to indicate that___________________________.
　　Another point the professor makes that casts doubt on the reading is his point about__________________________________.
　　As he states， it would seem to___________________________.
　　This makes the explanation in the reading seem less likely;_____________________________________.
　　It is more likely that________________________， ad the professor indicates.

        實(shí)際上，大家從上面這個(gè)例子就可以發(fā)現(xiàn)“魔板”的提取過程就是這樣的：
　　·先認(rèn)真讀完一篇滿分范文
　　·再用筆劃掉其中涉及題目具體內(nèi)容的部分
　　·最后把余下來的部分抄寫下來即可
　　但“魔板”做出來后只是做了一小半工作，大家還必須學(xué)會(huì)如何往里面填空，實(shí)際上最簡單的方法就是看著題目把具體內(nèi)容自己填進(jìn)去，然后跟范文對(duì)比，找出填空的精華技巧所在，因?yàn)樵诤蟀氩糠值腉RE/GMAT中我還會(huì)詳細(xì)講解，所以這里只是先告訴大家這樣一個(gè)簡單方法。
　　大家如果想在今后新托福的考試中作文部分有所突破，那么就應(yīng)該按照我這個(gè)提煉“魔板”的方法，去至少提煉20篇左右的滿分范文，再加以有機(jī)排列組合成自己獨(dú)特的考試“魔板”，最后進(jìn)行集中填空，那么新托福作文25分將不再是神話。 Showing Challenge
