2013年5月托福写作机经题目预测--新东方王子睿

2013年3月托福写作预测机经
24号的大陆地区托福考试又是以北美+大陆的乱拼形式出现，这一点已经不足为奇。

因算上这一次，今年大陆地区考试中已经出现了五次这样的情况，占到考试总是5/9。

这次考试中命中了听力和口语1、2、4、5、6。

虽然24号的考试以北美+大陆的乱拼形式出现并不新鲜，但是前几场相比还有一个明显的变化——前几场中的大陆旧题都是出现在口语和写作部分，这次除了口语和写作部分重复了大陆题，阅读也重复了2011年8月28号的考题(在2010年5月22号的北美考过)。

这也意味着对于大陆旧题的重复很有可能慢慢会延伸至阅读和听力。

对比博主会监控考试，请各位随时关注博客和微博的信息更新。

另外，在24号的考试中又出现了3套新的大陆旧题，所以随后在预测补丁中会加入相对应的机经。

最后，从目前形势来看，至少口语和写作部分重复大陆机经已经形成了一定趋势。

所以，对于预测补丁，各位考生也一定要认真对待，好好复习。

托福写作三选一文章提纲by 王子睿Some people think it’s important to set a goal to improving a specific aspect of life at the beginning of a new year and they call it a new-year resolution. Which of the following new-year resolutions would you choose?1.Helping others in your communityI have been helping people in my community for years, so I cannot say it is part of my new plan. Plus, since I plan to study abroad, I am afraid that the preparation stuff will take up most of my time, which does not even allow me to participate in volunteer work like I did before.2.Improving your health by exercising more and eating healthy foodI do want to improve my health by doing more exercises and eating healthfully, but they are not quite practical, at least not this year. (Preparation for tests=lack of physical activities/living on campus=having to eat in fast food restaurants)3. Manage your time betterApplying to foreign universities requires a student to have very good planning skills so as to handle multiple tasks. (TOEFL/G orSAT/GPA/internships/PS/Reference letters)In times of an economic crisis, in which area should the government reduce its spending?cationEducation, in some ways, determines the future of a country. If children cannot get high quality education, the country may never have the chance to get recovered from any crisis.2.Health CareThe government could help people keep healthy or improve their health conditions by encouraging them to do more exercises and to eat healthfully.3. Support for the unemployedSupporting the unemployed is very important of social stability even in prosperous times, not to mention in times of economic crisis. If there is no enough support, some of the unemployed may even become criminals and the society will get into chaos.Which of the following is most important factor to you when you are making decisions on choosing a place for living?1.Living in a place that is not expensiveLost costs can mean an inconvenient life. It could be an isolated place which is far away from everything (public transportation hub/schools/hospital)2.Living close to relativesSince today we do not rely on families like we did in the past, there is no need to live close to relatives. Plus, living too close to relatives can take up a lot of our time because we have to meet with them frequently.3. Living in an area with many shops and restaurantsLife will be wonderful and vivid if we live in area with many shops and restaurants. We have many choices of places to eat, and we can even order takeout at home. Shops selling different products can satisfy our needs for everything.School administrators have decided to make one of the following three courses required course. Which one do you think is the best for students to take?1.CookingCooking (culinary skill) is important, but I do not believe that students are supposed to learn about it in school. If they are really interested, they could ask their parents to teach them. It would be unfair to ask students who are not interested to learn how to cook at school.2.Personal finance managementIn order to become an independent adult in the future, every student at school should be taught how to manage their money. When they are able to make money, they are supposed to know how to make good use of it and how to save some for future use. It is a skill that everyone needs.3. Auto repairingNot every student has a car, so there is no need to require everyone to learn about car repairing. Plus, it would be much more cost-effective and less time-consuming to let professionals to handle things like car repairing and maintaining.Your community has a piece of land and is considering introducing a business to this land. Which business would you prefer?1.A shopping mallA shopping mall means a convenient and vivid life. It has a lot of stores selling different products and even a movie theater in it. Cool!2.A performing art centerI am not interested in all art forms. Also, it could be noisy to have performing center in our community, for performances are usually scheduled for the evening when people in the community try to sleep.3.A hotelThere is no need to have a hotel in our community, for I already have a place to live in and we also have rooms for guests. It could be noisy in the evening or morning, too (people taking taxi to the airport …)。

1.Improving schools is the most important factor in the successful development of a country.2010.5.16NA 2.It is more likely for people with more skills to succeed.2010.6.26NA 3.High-school graduates should have at least a year to travel or to work rather than to go to universitydirectly.2008.11.1ML 4.People think it is more enjoyable to work three days a week for long time than work five days a week for shorter time.2010.12.11ML 5.Movies and televisions should always show audience that good people are rewarded and bad people are punished.2009.10.17NA 6.Young people nowadays have no influence on decisions that determine the future of the society as awhole.2011.2.26NA（现象证明-绝对词no） 写作思路：1.NO出现，disagree；2.细分领域，分别讲年轻⼈在各个领域对未来社会⾛向的影响；3.如政治领域：作为利益群体之⼀，政治家在做决定时必然会考虑到他们，所以有直接影响；经济领域：作为labor force的主要构成，有直接影响；⽂化领域：年轻⼈--传播⽂化的主⼒军--促进⽂化融合，交流。

2013年5月托福写作机经预测独立写作1.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Parents are the best e specific reasons and examples to support your answer.Obviously,the earliest teachers we have in our lives in most cases are our parentsparents,,and they are generally the most involved in thechildren..Y et neither are all development and education of their childrenparents good teachers nor are those good parents the best teachers.place,,n ot all parents are good teachers.As normal In the first placeindividuals,some parents more or less have bad habits.Even though parents almost instinctively devote themselves to cultivating their offspring,the outcome might turn out to be disappointment,for all children tend to unconsciously or subconsciously copy every thing from their parents.A nother deficiency of parents as teachers is the fact that most parents are lack of common senses of education.All too often we observe some parents tend to pursue their cherished but failed dream by forcing their children to develop in a prearranged direction. Ironically,if their children did not follow the instructions,the children would be regarded as disobedient or allegedly rebellious.In fact,it isparents rather than their children that virtually disobey common senses.addition,,s ome parents are qualified as good teachers,but not all of In additionthem are the best ones.When children are in the preliminary school,it is not surprising that parents are capable of teaching their children almost every subject even better than professional teachers in the school.But the situation will not last long.We live in a world where knowledge is accumulated by multiplying and at the same time becomes more and more specialized.Therefore,to be a professional in a certain field today takes much longer time than ever before.No parent is able to be professional in all fields,though they might be experts in one or more fields.Wise parents often release rather than charge their children as early as possible.They are aware of the possibility outside the family.may,,n everthelessevertheless,,help their children much more than do good Parents mayteachers.Most parts of children education are virtually beyond teachers'reaches.It is parents that supplement.Psychology studies have shown us that parents'love sometimes has astonishingly magic power to their children.Albert Einstein's mother and Forest GumGump p's mother are both good examples.On the other hand,parents might dotheir children harm more than do bad teachers as well.The natures of those children whose parents have divorced are often severely distorted.In a word,it is rather superficial to simply say that parents are the best teachers.2.How do movies or television influence people's behavior?Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.The impact that modern mass media such as movies or televisions has had on our daily life,and society in general,is undeniable.N o doubt it will become even greater as the scope of mass media continues to grow,and as the relevant technologies become more and more sophisticated,and so fascinating that virtually nobody will be able to escape.A lready,it can be seen how western movies are exercising influence on our youth generation:they grow long-hair regardless of their sex,commonly part of which are dyed in gold;they wear jeans in each and every season,usually knees of which are deliberately tattered;pendants;;and girls are keen on boys are fond of earrings or other odd pendantsMarlboro and weird coarse languages.ing T he major means that m ass media influence the public is by creatcreating topics of discussion in the society.Mass media offers people(theconsumers)issues to talk and think about.Titanic had brought a worldwide uproar by its extolling and of fascinating immortal love; Prime Color and Wag the dog met the national debate on right and duty of the president of the United States.A ntiwar movies such as Tears of the Sun and All Quiet On The Western Front among numerous others have been raising the question that is any war really to upholdsacrifices es to his justice or is it really worthy that an individual makes sacrific country and at the same time ignores his own family or his personal values?Mass media also shapes our understanding of what is important and what is not important(to know).The"important"issues are to be found on the first pages of the newspaper(/in the beginning of a television program).The"not important"stories are the ones that are not being told at all.The"not very important"stories are probably very short and hidden in the last pages.I n fact censorshipcensorships s present all mass media including its distributing indicates such as the I nternet.B y prearranging public issue,t he mass media makes decisions for us.E ven though there are critical thinking individuals in any society,they are definite minority;the public in whole in deed lack skills of critical thinking,and therefore they are often led by the media.media,,by offering topics and affecting the ways in conclusion,,mass mediaIn conclusionissues””,has a strong influence on our which we discuss“the important issuesperception of the truth,of the world or of the structure of our society, we have to admit that it has a role in our lives as a source of information,experiences,entertainment,amusement and relaxation.3.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Advertising can tell you a lot about a e specific reasons and examples to support your answer.Advertising is an all powerful tool in today's world where communication means are varied and accessible by all,and reaching the target audience with the right message makes all the difference. Advertising is a medium through which,people can be educated about a particular issue at hand.Advertising can be about a new product,a new business opportunity or in this case about a country.I strongly agree with the statement that advertising can inform,educate and can tell a lot about the country.I will support my argument through examples and reasoning given below.Advertising might be of many forms:Printed and published information, through broadcast media(radio and television)and now the mostimportant emerging means of all;that of the Internet.All these forms of advertising have their own advantages and disadvantages. Advertising is generally responsible for the first impressions of a country in people's minds.In this case,what they hear about a particular country for the first time through any means of advertising, will result in it being a true picture of a country for that person/ country.T h is is thus,governments of some developed countries have taken this issue of projecting the right image of their country through advertising very seriously.This is proven by the fact that their tourism numbers and advantages of living and working in their country are most highlighted than other countries.This is nonetheless important in today's competitive global environment where countries are competing against each other to attract new investments and business in their country.All this directly effects the economic and development scene of the country as good or bad advertising can directly result in the country's growth.example,,in my country India,the Information technology ministry For examplehas spent substantial finances and efforts to highlight India's advantage as a global source for information technology workers.This in fact hasresulted in growth in the Gross Domestic Product of our country there by raising the standard of people living in this country and giving a nascent industry a chance to grow in a free capital environment.This couldn't have been achieved without concentrated advertising of our advantages and economic benefits of developing software in India.We can safely draw the conclusion that Advertising can not only tell a lot about a country but can also result in bring growth to the economy and prosperity to its people.Adding to that,I would like every government of the world taking efforts to promote the best their county has to give to the world,here by promoting peace and prosperity among all nations.。

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。

2013年新东方英语六级作文范文（5）题目Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition of no less than 150 words on the topic “Whether College Students Should Be Allowed to Get Married” and you’re your article on the following outline.1、Choose either of the two positions: College students should (not) be allowed to get married.2、State your reasons for or against the issue3、Conclusionitary TrainingThere is no denying the fact that it has been a hotly debated topic whether students should attend military training in China in the past years. Opinions on this issue differ sharply. Some hold the positive view. They say that the training can not only build up students’ bodies but also temper their willpower. Besides, through the training, students can develop their team-spirit and sense of discipline.Others, however, hold the opposite view. They say that a short period of training as students are having now cannot work well in building up their bodies orstrengthen their will. Instead, we should lay emphasis on their daily exercise and activities for such purpose. What’s more, a sudden increase of intense physical exercise, especially during summer, does harm to students’ health and may even cause deaths. What happened in the past years has proved this.Weighing the pros and cons of these arguments, I am inclined to agree with the former point of view. Military training is not only a means to strengthen student’s physique and willpower, but also an effective way to enhance their sense of national defense and foster their patriotism. Though some deaths happened during the training, we should not give up eating for fear of choking. Besides, the deaths are perfect evidence that students need more such training. Of course, measures should be taken to ensure that the least harm is done to the trainees.。

Some people hold that young people today, due to a decline of moral value, do not care about making the world a better place. However, in my point of view, young people today are, indeed, more likely to give time to improving the world.Firstly, thanks to the development of science and technology, young people today are able to receive more information about world's current situation and make a sound individual decision to help those in need. It is hardly imaginable if people live, so to say, fifty years ago. For example, one of my friends is currently working in UN Volunteer, a subsidiary branch of UN in charge of organizing international volunteer project. She told me that every year, tens of thousands ofyoung applicants are submitting their interest in going to poor places and help those in need, and most of them get their information about UN Volunteer projects via their webpage. The technological development of our world does enable young people to give more time to making the world a better place.Secondly, today's educational system has a stronger emphasis on students' extracurricular activities, such volunteering work, entrepreneurial projects. Take China as an example. Decades ago university curriculum had a stronger emphasis on students' intellectual ability, such as calculation and interpretation. Recently experts and country administrators start to realize that an education of making children mentally better shaped is the education most justified. Thus, China's educational quality improves and the whole society evaluates students in various ways and encourages them to help others. In this way, young people today are more likely to give time to helping other people.Admittedly, there are some merits in the opposite argument - young people today are not doing as well as people in the past. The supporters of this argument notice that due to a moral decline and money-centered lifestyle, young people today are more likely to be morally eroded, as is shown in numerous TV programs. However, I argue that they just exaggerate the darkness too much. More young people today are trying their best to extend a hand to other people.All in all, I agree with the statement that young people today are more likely to give time and effort to improve the world than young people were in thepast.。
