托福独立作文题目：Even though many people from different countries care about environment problems (pollution, global warming), the environmental situation can’t be improved in the future.解析：【题目翻译】即使现在很多国家的很多人都非常关心类似于污染和全球变暖这样的环境问题，但是环境状况在将来还是不会得到改善的。
你同意还是不同意这个观点?【话题分析】此题考查的是环境话题，其实，教育、环境、媒体、个人成功、工作等话题都是托福考试的重头戏，其中教育、个人成功和工作一直名列前茅，但是环境话题的再次出现，也是给各位考生提了个醒，要注意老话题的复习，包括素材和词汇的复习。
【历年相关考题】大陆考题：2008.6.22-The most important thing that the government can do in improving health care is to clean the environment.2008年11月22日—Instead of spending money on the exploration of outer space, the government should spend money on the improvement of the environment.北美考题：2008.1.12-The government should focus more on environmental problems and less on economic development.2008.3.14-The environmental issue is too complex to be solved by the individuals.2008.4.26-The government should give priority to improving healthcare than to solving environmental problems.【思路拓展】如果同意上面的观点，那就是认为：即使现在很多国家关心环境问题，但问题还是得不到改善，可以有以下理由：1. 很多国家只是关注(care about / pay more attention on …)，或者可以理解成是意识到环境问题的严重性(realize the importance of environment problems)，但是都不采取具体的行动(but they have not taken practical and effective measures)，如此下去，环境问题也不会得到改善。
3月托福真题：2013.3.17托福写作详解题目：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?The movies and television programs made in your own country are more interesting than movies and television programs made in other countries.Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.解题步骤：Step 1: Analyze the questionThe movies and television programs made in your own country are more interesting than movies and television programs made in other countries.1.判断题型：比较对比型2.比较双方：own country, other countries3.比较方面：movies and television programsStep 2: Brainstorm Ideas分论点思考角度：选择电影电视的标准Script, actor/ actress, scene, director, post-productionStep 3: Pick a side根据分论点思考维度，选择立场。
如果在script, actor/ actress, scene, director, post-production 五个标准中，超过3个都是认为国内好，本题观点为agree;超过3个以上都是国外好，本题观点为disagree; 一半一半，中立立场。
Agree: Domestic TV and movies are more appealing than foreign ones.Disagree: Foreign TV and movies are more appealing than domestic ones.Neutral: Without cultural confusion, stories in domestic TV and movies are more easily accepted by common people; while foreign programs own excellent production skills and world-classstars.观点为disagree的对应分论点：World-class actors and actresses from foreign countries appeal people to watch movies and television shows.Foreign television technology and cinematography are more advanced compared to domestic ones.Step 4: Write the essay以其中一个分论点为例：Foreign television technology and cinematography are more advanced compared to domestic ones. Cinematography is the art and science of filmmaking, including shooting, editing and post-production. Hollywood, the motion picture capital of the world, possesses top-ranking industry production skills and equipment. TV programs and movies in Hollywood, technically speaking, are made consummately than homemade programs. Some people, however, would argue that internal directors and producers have already made 3D films and they own cutting edge technology in video projects. Is that "3D" exactly the same as Hollywood's? I doubt it. Several days ago, I watched a domestic film, which claimed to be 3D movie. After watching it, I felt like being cheated, as all the scenes in the film were 2D. What more ludicrous was its subtitles, because they were 3D! These mendacious 3D effects never appear in Hollywood movies, such as Life of Pi, Avatar, and Beowulf. Therefore, foreign programs are more attractive than homemade ones, because high-tech effects do bring audience bang-up visual feeling.。

2013NA托福写作真题汇总及解析1月12日Parents learn more from their children than their children do from them nowadays.此题disagree较容易按照分类理由，从parents生活经验丰富，技能多，人脉广等角度展开，强调孩子可以从父母身上学到的东西即可。
如选择Agree，更挑战，更适合文笔发挥，拿到满分1.Wide availability of internet—abundant resource on education—access for children to improve their ability and skills on their own—more capable in terms of life and work—close to parents—be the portal for parents to catch up with the fast-changing world2.Fiercer competition—demand for advanced and latest technology and skills—relatively easier for children to embrace for their intellectual level and stage of life—also a missing part in parents’education—parents learn from children to fit into the society3.让步2月2日在经济危机时期（times of economy crisis)，你认为政府应该减少下面哪一方面少花钱？-Education-Health Care-Support for unemployed思路1：选educationeducation的不重要原因health care重要的原因support for unemployment重要的原因思路2：选educationeducation不重要的原因1education不重要的原因2health care和support for unemployment重要的原因分别讲述几句话思路3：选educationeducation不重要的原因1education不重要的原因2education不重要的原因3至于education为什么不重要，则属于常见的否定某事物存在价值的理由探讨。
例题：广告越来越不诚实，是否可以忽略广告？如同意可忽略，则讲述广告为什么不重要。
这类否定某事物A的存在价值的理由探讨，可固定为3个方面1.A自身的缺陷（广告不诚实，无法提供信息参考/教育投入需求过大，政府无力支持）2.A有更好的替代品B（有口碑，试用装等替代广告作用/有现有的教育资源和网络资源可以更好利用）3.A的作用虽然有，但是无法被外界接受到（广告量大，每天接受过多，无法挑选有用的信息来判断是否购买/经济危机时期，生存问题为主要考量，人们无心投入心力在教育方面）2月23日In order to attract good students,university should spent a lot of money in society activities此题考察social activity和good students之间的逻辑联系容易出错的地方是大部分同学可能只写到了social activity的好处和功能，而忽略了是否这些功能能吸引好学生来这个学校Agree1.social activity—interaction with various types of students—expand one’s social network—help in the future—attract good students2.social activity—shape multiple skills that hardly can be learned within class—supplement for normal education—improve the quality of education—attract good students3.让步，学术足够牛逼，也能吸引不少好学生来钻研学术3月2日People should state their honest opinions even though they know others will disagree with their views.Agree1.bold to express—make sure no misunderstanding—build up the trust—win the respect from others--2.dare to state honest opinions—after discussion and argument—a chance to help others or oneself to improve3.让步，不能过于执着和极端，要注意表达的方式和情绪。
3月22日Though modern agricultural practices damage the environment,feeding the world's growing population is more important than protecting against environmental damage. Disagree1.feeding the population at the cost of hurting the environment—pose a real and irreversible threat to the food production in the long run—endanger the future generation—unwise choice2.Many solutions can be taken to ease and lessen the poverty problems—charity, reasonable distribution of food,recyclable resource and energy,awareness3.让步，短期的，局部的行为，解决特别棘手的问题，则可以，而全球范围内不行4月6日Teachers are appreciated and valued nowadays not as much as they were before.此题类似2012年NA题Teachers had a greater influence on young people in the past than they do today.问题核心：同两个事物之间关系过去和现在进行对比。
A对B影响大与否，取决于A和B 的相处时间，B对A的需求程度，B对A的信任程度等因素。
注意这里变量有两个，老师和学生都可以变，所以讨论的时候要从两方面开展比较容易。
现在教育发达——学生在学校时间久于过去——教师对学生的影响更大现在教师能力更大，学生也更看重学习——教师对学生影响更大让步说过去教师对学生也有很大影响，只是没现在这么大参考上题得出此题的思路：cation improved—high demand on teachers—teachers are more capable—more appreciated by students2.fierce competition in society—students value more about knowledge—as the major resource to learn knowledge—teachers are more valued3.让步，也有部分失格的老师，舔着脸自称XX小王子，就是XX女王，XX教父，XX大仙，实在有违师道，哈哈哈。
（谁说写资料不可以自high？）4月27日The best way to reduce air pollution is that government to raise the cost of fuel（petrol）of the cars.有绝对词best，选择disagree讲还有其他什么方法来减少大气污染ernment enact certain laws—prohibit the abuse of vehicles—lower the usage of fuelernment propagandize the public transportation—lower the total number of vehicles—lower the gasoline cost3.让步说提升价格也有效5月31日The most important thing people learnt is from families.虽然有绝对词most，但是此题关键不是到底人们学到的最重要的是什么，而是到底来源于哪，所以可以选agree也可以选disagree。
有些同学会先定义下这个most important的事是什么，然后再写为什么是来源于家庭。
这样做也可以，如定义为responsibility，然后讲家人之间互相照顾，分担，培养责任什么的。
高大上一点的写法是不定义这个most important thing是什么，而是直接分析哪些环境，因素，会导致人学到重要的东西。
disagree1.people learn their most important lesson in failures—families are nice and protective—hardship usually is out there—hence most important thing often learned from outside2.people learn their most important lesson in unfamiliar surrounding—independent and alone—be forced to channel one’s potential—spur the development of oneself—hence most important thing often learned from outside3.让步讲述家人能给我们什么，因为家人真诚，等原因。
