2019年托福考试写作试题:独立学习还是小组学习好Some people like to study alone while other prefer to study in a group. Which one do you think is more effective?托福写作模板及参考答案:托福写作范文参考:Educators and researchers have never stopped the examination of the importance and relevance of collaborative learning that are encouraged by middle schools. When compared with studying alone, I personally believe that it is far more beneficial to students when working in groups for the following reasons.First off, working in a group finishing group projects can be very conducive for students since they can help students to study more effectively and get exposure in real-world issues. If teachers categorize students and organize them in small study groups, chances are that they would solve complex issues together, like research the history of the city, examine the water quality of the local town, so on and so forth. Students can develop critical thinking skills as well as learn to collect and analyze information frommultiple sources. A recent study conducted by the University of Minnesota backed up the claim that study teams, collaborative learning and group projects are far more effective in helping students to develop useful skills than traditional teacher-led teaching approach. In fact, when learning in groups, students have to do some research about the topic they are expected to discuss beforehand, whichhelps them to clear up some misunderstandings and boast their enthusiasm of academic exploration.Additionally, as the saying goes:“many hands makelight work”, actually it remains as relevant today as it did a century ago. Working in groups has much deeper implications beyond students’ academic e xperience, to be more specific,it helps to develop skills like cooperation, organization and leadership. When learning in a group, every single studentgets a chance to contribute their knowledge to the group,they can learn to appreciate the work of other simultaneously. What’s more, they have to work closely with others for the same goal otherwise they might not be able to compete with other study groups. More importantly, students will get exposure to distinctive perspectives and at the same timelearn how to accept different points of view and find common ground in this process. Such an educational experience willnot only be helpful for their future study but alsobeneficial to them when they have to deal with coworkers, clients, and teammates in a professional setting in the future. Numerous studies have shown that students who haveprior experience working with others enjoy a better chance to be successful in their future career.In conclusion, working together in a group has far more meaningful implications than working alone sincecollaborative learning helps students to learn much more effectively and develop important skills that are vital for their future study and career.

7月16日托福独立写作2016年7月16日托福独立写作范文比聘请著名教师,大学应该花更多的钱在改善设施(图书馆,计算机实验室)上。
你同意不同意?下面是店铺整理的托福独立写作作文,大家可以参考参考。
2016年7月16日托福独立写作题目:Do you agree or disagree: the universities should spend more money in improving facilities (libraries, computer labs) than hiring famous teachers.托福独立写作范文【1】Advanced facilities, like libraries, research center, university hospital are indispensible parts of a good university while famous teachers are also a big component of a prestigious higher institution. Personally, I think it is better for universities to spend more money in hiring famous professors.Admittedly, research centers can be a place where advanced technology is incubated, a library that incorporates state-of-the-art technology can also be conducive to students' study, however, I still believe that famous professors play a more significant role in assessing the reputation of a university.First off, well-respected professors in a specific field can bring lots of benefits not only to the whole community but also to the university. To more specific, prestigious professors can come up with theories and solutions to the most intriguing problems faced by human beings, like treatment of cancers, diabetes and even heart attack. Economists can use data and economic models in their empirical study to predict the economy, and it can provide lots of information for the authority to make timely adjustment to their policies. Electronic engineers can designsome micro-chips that can sustain large-scale computation. The benefits that professors bring to the school can be also enormous. For instance, a Novel Prize laureate can attract countless research foundations and donations from both the private and public sectors, with this large sum of money, the university can in turn renovate labs, research centers and even libraries.Additionally, well-established professors and researchers can educate and enlighten brilliant young students and cultivate future scientists. Famous professors are usually expert in education, they might have been teaching and researching in their field for more than a few decades, thus have accumulated lots of rich teaching experience and developed the most effective teaching approach. Together with their superb charisma, lots of bright young adults will be motivated and inspired and therefore embark on the road of scientific endeavor and exploration. Such inspirations and motivations cannot be brought by improved facilities. Indeed, it is the expertise and charisma of these famous professors that attract thousands of brilliant young students to enroll in a college.To conclude, hiring more famous professors are more advisable than renovating facilities since the scientific discoveries brought by professors can bring colossal benefits to both the community and the university, and also the expertise and charisma of well-established professors can attract, enlighten and cultivate future scientists.托福独立写作范文【2】Cradles of cultivating talents, universities are supposed to provide most high-caliber education. Responding to the expectation, universities have to think the issue over. Comparedwith hiring more teachers, from my own perspective, keeping facilities and resources in the universities most advanced and updated is more essential not only for students but also for renowned professors.First of all, students are able to enjoy a better study environment if their schools utilize advanced equipment. With the assistance of exquisite inventions such as electronic screen and projectors, as well as laboratory equipment, like microscopes and chemical reactors, studying would no longer be a tedious and repetitious information engrafting process, but a way everyone would like to get involved in. Similarly, definitions and formulas of physics and chemistry will graven in students’ minds deeply if they are aided by the equipment when experimenting. However, hardly can professors crystalize abstract concepts into definite ideas without advanced teaching devices.What is more, as for famous teachers themselves, a university that does not invest in its facilities would be appealing. To be constantly enthusiastic on researching their respective academic fields, teachers have a great demand for exquisite facilities to maintain progressing on their own fields. The most sophisticated technological devices offered in universities enable these teachers to conduct successful researches and remain at the top, which is really attractive to those renowned professors. By contrast, old and obsolete teaching and studying facilities will certainly not inspire teachers to keep further academic researching. Also, practically impossible will teachers have interest in making progress.Granted, it is conceded that hiring more teachers in universities means guaranteeing education quality in some sensebecause every student will be concerned and cared about. Even slightest and most subtle academic performance changes of students will be noticed; therefore, teachers can encourage and guide frustrated and upsetting students in time. However, while weighing the benefits brought by investing in facilities and hiring more teachers, we can conclude that facilities are more worthwhile.In conclusion, I should reiterate that universities should update their facilities, making a top priority. Without advanced facilities, a university will not be helped further improved.下载全文。
2019托福写作模拟试题库及答案:选择Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: A persons job has more effects on his or her happiness than this persons social life does.同意前者1. 一个人工作上有成就,表明他是非常有能力的一个人。
同时,圆满地完成工作也会给一个人带来成就感,这些都是能影响一个人的情绪的一些因素2. 当我们在工作中做得很好的时候,我们可以挣到更多的钱。
从现实的角度来说,一个人工作大部分的原因还是为了钱。
因为钱能买到自己想要的东西,让他们在物质上得到一定的满足,同时也能给我们和我们的家人一定程度的快乐。
看到他们快乐了我们自然也很快乐3. 在工作中如果能和同事,老板处理好关系,也能给我们带来快乐。
如果我们有一个良好的人际关系,当我们遇到困难时,可以得到同事的无私的帮助,我们会感到很快乐。
当他们需要帮助时,我们也能提供帮助,自己也感到非常快乐长此以往形成一个良性循环。
和同事之间保持良好关系很重要,因为我们一天中有三分之一的时间是和同事相处的,如果我们能和他们维持良好的关系,对我们工作的顺利开展有非常大的促进作用,也能让我们在工作中有一个很好的心情Happiness index as an eye-catching measurement has ranked allthe nations to score the countries’ happiness factors. Judging from the cultural value and traits, we can obtain the coincidence that what we consider the country where civilians have more pressure from their jobs has lower happiness index in the investigating from statistics. Biased and superficial seems the judgment made, but the trend could still be speculated through the numbers. I comprehensively combine different rational factors with irrational own feelings, concluding that job apparently has more effect on happiness than social life, reasons and examinations will be explored to break down the controversial issue.Initially, the achievement from the work means a person has a great capability and they regard this kind of succeed in professions as the ultimate happiness in life. Many successful people are fully involved in their business, namely Steve Jobs, some of which even do not have the social life. However they feel much happiness because they can see their small company developing into a big one, just as their kids. For example, my father is a manager in a company. All his life is to work and he often work until midnight in order to sell more machines. Even though he was so tired and do not have a social life, he still feels happiness in the work and will work harder next year because the achievement from the work gives him a sense of accomplishment. He proved his value in the company. All of thesementioned above can be important factors that affect peoples happiness.Moreover, when we really do a good job in the work, we can earn much more money. From the prospective of reality, the biggest motivation that people work is their salary because we can buy whatever we want with money and have a sense of satisfaction materially. Besides, we can guarantee our family a better life with more money so that they can be happier. As they are happier, why dont we? For example, previously I did not work very hard on my job and I only earned a little money. I started to work much harder since I had a girlfriend because I wanted to give her a better life and buy whatever she want. Now my salary is five times more than that time. On the contrary, if we only get happiness in our social life but do not do very well in our vacation, what we get is something mentally, like some spiritual food. But in order to get the happiness, we should first satisfy our basic needs, like food, cloth and so on according to the Maslows hierarchy of needs. Therefore the vocational accomplishment weighs more than social life.Finally, if we can keep a good relationship between our colleagues and boss in our job, we can also get happiness. When we have a harmonious interpersonal relationship, we can get much help from them as we are facing some difficulties so that we can be happy.At the same time, when they are in trouble we can give them a hand. Helping others and being helped are both beneficial for us and we will feel delightful in that process. In the long term, the mutual help among the colleagues can be virtuous circle. It is important for us to get along well with our workmates because we spend one third of our life time in working and living with them. Therefore, a good interpersonal relationship is advantageous in our working and provides us a good mood in the work.In conclusion, I strongly agree that the job can offer us much more happiness than the social life for reasons mentioned above.。

2019年托福独立写作备考模拟试题及答案(8)Taking on a part-time job while pursuing a degree is hard work, but the benefits are typically greater than the amount of a paycheck. Students who work during their college careers may have better time-management skills than their counterparts. They must understand responsibility and apply it to their daily lives. They earn money that can be used for fun or for tuition, while gaining experience in the workplace that will be attractive to future employers after graduation.MoneySimply put, students who hold down part-time jobs will have more money than they would have otherwise. As they come into adulthood, earning an income canboost their confidence and allow them to have some fun within the limits of their paychecks. Some students need to work through school toafford tuition. Others will set the money aside to pay back student loans. Still, the money will be theirs to spend as they wish, and they may appreciate it more because they worked for it.Students earning their own money get lessons on spending wisely. They may be less likely to spend their hard-earned money frivolously and learn to delay gratification to pay for necessities, such as text books and rent.
