2020年托福写作素材模板:纳尔逊·曼德拉托福写作素材模板:纳尔逊·曼德拉素材段落While working as a lawyer in his early forties, Nelson Mandela was repeatedly arrested for attempting to overthrow the radically divisive apartheid government that existed in South Africa. Instead of giving up his idea of establishing a nation without institutionalized racism, he secretly joined the South African Communist Party. Mandela successfully mobilized a sabotage campaign which advocated the betterment of the country as well as its people. Due to his tireless efforts, he was arrested again several years later and sentenced to life imprisonment. For the next 27 years, Mandela never stopped campaigning for racial equality, despite the fact that he was incarcerated. Accordingly, people all over the world started to respect him as the most influential anti-apartheid politician and revolutionary of the 20th century.单词和词组overthrow *、*=abolishadvocate 呼吁、主张=aim atadvocate life quality improvementadvocate a well-developed educational systemadvocate the government support for environmental protectiontireless efforts 不懈的努力continuous/unceasing/unwavering efforts 持续的努力combined/joint efforts 共同的努力话题词汇美德 virtue忠实的 loyal坚持不懈的 persistent/perseverant有决心的 determined热情的 enthusiastic/passionate有天赋的 talented适用考题All university students should be required to takehistory courses regardless of the field they study.(2020.5.9/2020.9.29)People should have goals that are challenging rather than goals that are safe and practical.

1.Do you agree or disagree: A person’s dress and appearances is a good indication of his or her personality or character. 2010年4月24日北美You can not judge a person only by his or her appearance. This can be best exemplified by Susan Boyle whose appearance has even been made fun of by a TV presenter, but her incredible voice and her stunning performance on BGT has won her great popularity。
Another example is the great president of US Abraham Lincoln whose looks has long been mocked by his opponent.Do you agree or disagree: Good looks and dresses are more important for success thangood ideas. 2009年11月8日大陆Do you agree or disagree: Good looks and dresses are more important for success than good ideas. 2008年06月21日北美2.Do you agree or disagree: All students should be required to study history in any major. 2009年6月13日Franklin Roosevelt, for instance, saved America from a severe economic crisis in 1930s: the Great Depression. He created the New Deal to provide relief to the unemployed, and to the banks which were nearly facing bankruptcy. Roosevelt's successful measures can not onlygive us a full understanding of economy, but also can provide us with valuable experience for economic crisis handling.此例子同样适用于:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement. All university students should be required to take history course no matter what field they study in.2007年07月28大陆In order to solve the problems in the present and future, it is necessary to understand past.201003063. Do you agree or disagree: Children should not be allowed to play computer games. 20080607Almost everyone has heard of or even played the classic game--world of warcraft, which is produced by Blizzard, the most famous game producer of the world. In this game, players alone can not enter some large 40-player raid to complete a huge mission, so they must gather into a group with different careers such as warriors, priests, and warlocks: only with a suitable career configuration and good communication among players can they accomplish the complicated missions. In this sense, the game does offer children a perfect platform to improve their abilities of communications, teamwork and leadership.此例子同样适用于:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Playing computer games is a waste of time for children. 2008.6.64. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement. Students should work at part-time jobs when attending university.Andrew Carnegie, known as the king of steel, built the steel industry in the United States and became one of the wealthiest men in America. By 1897, he controlled almost the entire steel industry in the United States. Carnegie has lived a full life by working during the daytime andreading during the night since he was just 13. Not only his work experience but also his abundant knowledge brings him the great success. Therefore, he attached great importance to education, and he donated a large sum of money to schools and libraries of the country.此例子同样适用于:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is easier to success nowadays than in the past. 20091010Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Most business people are motivated only by thedesire for more money.20100626Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:Parents should help their children prepare for future life through encouraging them to take part-time jobs. 2009.10.245. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:The government should support scientific research that does not have any practical use.The Apollo 11, for instance, could not succeed in landing the moon, not to mention the famoussaying" One small step for man, one giant leap for human" could come from Armstrong. Thanks to the considerable fund from United States government, NASA can launch hundreds of satellites or spaceships, which eventually benefit the human being. Besides, to protect the environment, new energy must be explored out to replace the fossil fuel. Because of the worldwide investment from government, the new energy, say solar energy, wind energy and nuclear energy, could be applied now. Therefore, the importance of funds on the science research is obvious.此例子同样适用于:Which one: Some people think governments should spend as much money as possible exploring outer space (for example, traveling to the Moon and to other planets). Other people disagree and think governments should spend this money for our basic needs on Earth. Which of these two opinions do you agree with? 200811236. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:Being creative is more important in finding the best solution to a problem than planning carefully. 2008.2.1One of Abraham Lincoln’s most renowned achievement is the Gettysburg Address. With only three minutes to prepare, the Gettysburg address contains only 268 words. Everyone thinks it a great success which motivated enormous people.On the contrary, the president of Harvard University, Edward Everett, prepared a long time for an elaborate 2-hour long lecture that contains over 1500 words.此例子同样适用于:It’s better to achieve high efficiency with possibly more mistakes than to work with lowerefficiency but possibly fewer mistakes.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is more important to work quickly and risk making mistakes than to work slowly and make sure everything is correct.200908227.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:Newspapers and magazines are the best ways to learn about a foreign country. 2009.2.21Newspapers and magazines have great influence on people. And sometimes they can manipulate people’s mind by simply concealing some information. For, example, the American mediaavoided taking pictures showing that FDR walked with crutches. Thus, fewer foreigners know the fact that FDR is handicapped. In this way, they let people know what they want people to know instead of giving a full display of the thing.Another example that shows the great power of media is the famous Obama girl. The girl is just an ordinary American actor and model. Only by “I have a crush on Obama”, she is known to the whole world.此例子同样适用于:We need to have different sources of news andinformation to know which one is the real one or who is telling the truth. 20100514 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:In order to become well-informed, one has to get information from different news resources.(Media) 2009.2.148.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

He played piano when he was just 3, and began to compose when he was four. He was a child prodigy. However, the real society deserted him pitilessly and the arch was hard on him. Unfortunately, he passed away at the age of 35.此例子同样适用于:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Younger school children (aged five to ten)should be required to study art and music in addition to math, language, science and history. 201011219.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement.The government should spend more money on improving access to the Internet than on the public transportation. 20100522Beijing is a huge international city with millions of people living in it, and the pressure on the city’s transportation system is extremely heavy. Therefore, public transportation plays an important role to relieve the transportationstress. According to the latest data released by the government, Beijing’s public transportation system bears 70% of the city’s total amount of traffics.In China, some villages or areas are blocked from the modern society by huge mountain or deep valley: villagers don't know about the outside world since there is no radio or TV; children there must walk 10 miles to have class in a humid and gloomy hut; they have no concept of cars since no mobiles can drive through the tough mountainous region. In this case, it is the government's responsibility to improve the conditions in the villages: it is terrible for human to lose communication withthe world.此例子同样适用于:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?People should not pay for the public transportation.2009-01-10/2007-12-01 2010091210.The best way to improve the quality of education is to increase teachers' salary. 20090403Every student who needs to take English test, such as TOEFL, GRE, GMAT, is familiar with NEW ORIENTAL, the renowned educationalinstitution of China.

But he's almost equally famous for his astonishing multiplicity of talents: he dabbled in architecture, sculpture, engineering, geology, hydraulics and the militaryarts, all with success, and in his spare time doodled parachutes and flying machines that resembled inventions of the 19th and 20th centuries. He made detailed drawings of human anatomy which are still highly regarded today. Leonardo also was quirky enough to write notebook entries in mirror (backwards) script, a trick which kept many of his observations from being widely known until decades after his death.People are concerned about the efficiency with the accelerating tempo of life. The more the better. The fast the better. In this regard, XX takes the top priority. For instance, wheneverpeople click on a search engine and key in a few words into the search box, they will get huge amounts of information. The amazing thing is, all the searching is done in a few seconds, which spares people a great deal of time to enjoy the entertainment such as body-building, watching opera or a movie in their leisure time. Christopher Columbus As a child, he helped his father as a weaver. He always liked the sea. Genoa was an important seaport. There is no doubt that as a child he caught rides on ships. He had little schooling but was a genius with the sea. His plan was not to prove that the world was flat, but it was to find a shortcut to the Spice Islands. He wanted to establish a city therefor trade, seaports, and much more. When he grew into a man he was interested in sailing to Asia by going west.Bill Gates, for example, gave up the precious chance that studying in Harvard without hesitation, and he eventually established the Microsoft Corp, proving his decision was highly wise. On the other hand, what other people thought of Bill Gates when he made the "crazy" decision? They might discourage Bill from dropping out. Considering if Bill took the others' advice, what person he would be? Maybe no more than a normal technician in amiddle-size company. From this case, it can be concluded that people should make decisions themselves, since people learn more about themselves both mentally and physically than any otherspeople sharing a similar or even same career could communicate with each other more easily, and thus they influence positively each others wider and deeper. Watson and Crick, for instance, might illustrate this point clearly. Watson and Crick are both molecular biologists, and they are not only partners but also good friends. With their combination of imagination,intelligence, and hard-working, they eventually co-discovered the structure of the DNA molecule: the double helix. Then, of course, they got the Noble Prize for this significant contribution to the entire human race. But if they worked alone on this complicated and huge project, I believe, the prevailing gene engineering might be a no more than a daydream. In this sense, people make friends with similar career could work highly effectivelyTake myself as an example: I have ever made friends with hundreds of Gters, which literally mean the people who prepare the GRE and theTOEFL tests, because we are chasing a same goal: to study in the best university in America. And thus, we engaged ourselves in a group to carefully revise others' issue or arguments with red lines and circles, to talk about how tough the GRE words were such as "juggernaut" or "gargoyle", to encourage each other when we could hardly bear the 5-hour sleep for every daythe EA game company also worth noting: its slogan is "challenging everything". The famous games, that the EA produced such as NBA Live series and FIFA series both urge game players to try their best to get a champion, and sticking tothis faith could encourage players to the end. Besides, some RPG adventure games also encourage people to face and overcome frustration by endless events. Thus, both the two kinds of games help people lead a positive life attitude: challenge and adventure.To begin with, from a personal rather than a theoretical perspective, changes make my life more brilliant and new experiences make me understand the world more thoroughly. Every man dies, but not every man really lives. If my life is filled with a sole hobby or I always repeat the same pattern of life, then there is no big difference between living and death.Furthermore, in some ocassions,(occasions) it is necessary for people to change. Take the business world for instance: in the society of rapid development, nobody can assure what will happen in next minute to the market, and therefore marketing managers can easily make some flawed policies which might directly lead to a decrease in sales or stocks. In this sense, these flawed policies must be corrected, in other words, the policies should be changed in time. Because the significance of the changes in marketing policy, it makes sense for the existence of Mckinsey--the biggest consultantcompany. So, in terms of company, changes are necessary.政府與環境問題For example, the Golf of Mexico oil spill has influenced many aspects, like the fishing industry, tourism and so forth. The money lost of this case is as much as 50 billion. And it also made President Obama furious when he talked about this case in the Larry King show. He even visit there three times, which is more than that he visited Afghanistan.個人與環境In 2010, nearly 1billion people turned off theirlights for Earth Hour. Three years before, Earth Hour was only the idea of some editors of the Sydney Morning Herald. However, currently it is the biggest awareness campaign in the world. Thus, individual’s effort on our environment cannot be ignored.Charles Moore is a famous photographer during the black power movement. Even he was opposed by the mainstream media, Charles uses his camera showing us the nightmare of the Africa-American in the south of America, including the arrestment of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by the police.電影應該娛樂還是嚴肅Most of Americans had not heard the film Hunt Locker before it got six Academy Awards. Even most of the professionals critically claimed for the film, claiming that it is the best war movie ever. But it is so serious that nobody is willing to go to cinemas to watch this film. Movies are produced for entertaining the public and earning money. Thus, a movie cannot be titled as a successful one despite it is the best from a professional aspect..精选范本。
2020年托福写作模板素材:玛丽·居里托福写作素材模板:玛丽·居里素材段落Marie Curie was so passionate about her love of science that she was able to overcome numerous adverse conditions which hindered her work and studies. She believed in the pursuit of science, for science’s sake, and retained this enthusiasm throughout her life. As a scientist, she never patented her work, leaving the door open for other scientists to build on her work during her life and after her death. During World War I, she was so passionate about the therapeutic benefits of her discoveries that, with the help of her daughter Irene, she helped equip ambulances with X-ray machines to identify fractures and locate shrapnel and bullets. In honor of her unparalleled contribution to the scientific world, she became the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903. She was also the first person ever to be awarded the Nobel Prize twice when she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911.单词和词组adverse 不利的、敌对的=unfavorable, hostile, maliciousunder adverse conditionsexert an adverse eff ect/impact on …for one’s sake 为了…的利益for the country’s sakefor the sake of safetyretain 保持=keep, withholdretain the right to …retain an effective control over …unparalleled 无比的、前所未有的=incomparable, unmatched, unrivaledan unparalleled success适用考题In order to succeed, we should be more like others than be different from others.

托福写作素材整理托福写作需要大量的素材,下面小编就给大家整理一些托福的写作素材,希望对你们有帮助。
托福写作素材之改编自books的电影在看金刚狼,爱乐之城blah blah的时候,你还需要…嗯,还需要准备些纸巾,因为这俩都挺好哭的。
还需要…想想你的upcoming TOEFL exam, 毕竟托福写作考过这种题…许多电影人make movies based on books. 有的人倾向于read the book before they watch the movie. Which one do you prefer?很多同学看到这个话题的时候内心是有点崩溃的,因为他们的问题是1. 哪些电影是小说改编的啊2. 哦想起了!好像豆瓣排名第一(还是第二?)的肖申克救赎是的,但是英文名是啥? Xiao Shen Ke De Jiu ShuWe really don't want to get ourselves into this kind of situation, do we?所以大家就趁着蹲个厕所的功夫来看一些改编自books的电影吧,shall we?1. Beauty and the Beast美女与野兽你们的女神屈臣氏小姐(Emma Watson)的这部美女与野兽要很快就要上映了,这个可以算是made based on books(fairy tales, actually:) 的电影吧?感觉是可以写进文章里的? 如果你要把这个电影用做你的例子,你会同意先看电影再看书还是先看书再看电影呢…BTW,据说Emma Watson 接了这部戏就拒绝了La La Land的邀约……2. Arrival 降临这部降临也是改编自小说的呀!小说名字叫做Story of Your Life. IMDB评分8.1其实是很高的了,但是如果我要用这个电影来做例子的话,我肯定会支持I prefer to read the novel first, because currentlythe technology is not yet amazing enough to get the picture to measure up to our expectation. By the way, the physicist in my imagination is much more handsome. :3. The Martian 火星救援呆萌(Matt Damon) looks so cute in his spacesuit, doesn't he? Anyway 如果用这个例子的话我应该会支持先看电影吧…因为如果不是这个电影我可能对火星都没啥兴趣,not to mention to pick up a book about how to survive on Mars 了,哈哈~4. Gone Girl 消失的爱人提到呆萌怎么能不提提他的好基友Ben Affleck呢!两个有颜(至少曾经有颜,sad)又有才的好兄弟自从当时的Good Will Hunting就一直是大众津津乐道的couple。
托福写作常用事例很多学生会选择店铺,那么托福写作常用事例有哪些呢?跟着一起来看看吧!下面是小编收集的有关托福写作常用事例的资讯,欢迎阅读。
托福写作常用事例托福写作常用事例一:生活常事生活常事意味着用自己或身边的人来举例,这一类的事例具备很强的代表性,并且能在一定程度上唤起考官的共鸣。
对于大多数备考时间比较紧的考生来说,准备第一种例子性价比不高,并且时间不够。
因此,性价比较高的第二种例子更适合于备考时间比较短的考生。
托福考试仅仅是语言能力考试,只要能用恰当的例子论述清楚问题就可以,因此用生活常事来举例对于考官来说也有很大的说服力。
有的考生仍然会问,如果我身边真的没有发生这么多事情怎么办?这个时候,考生们就不能这么“死心眼”了,就要学会“编例子”。
但是“编例子”也要有技巧,也要让考官信服,绝非信口胡编这里介绍三个小窍门,帮助考生们把例子编得更贴切,更生动。
1. 例子中加上姓名、时间、地点等具体细节很多中国学生在写例子的时候会使用“For example, some people...”这样的表达。
这样的表达看起来底气不足,且中式思维严重,很难受到考官青睐。
考生完全可以改用另外的表达“One of my friends, John, ...four years ago.”甚至可以加上这个人的职位、身份等信息,这样写看起来就具体实在多了。
在叙述个人类例子的时候,尽量使用具体的人名、地名和时间。
这样能使例子看上去更丰满、富有细节,也更像真实的事件,有说服力。
2. 与论点结合,写出事件发生之前与之后的变化需要特别注意的是,例子一定是为论证服务的,绝不能脱离主题举例子。
有的考生编例子编得很投入,写得也很精彩,但是却忘了自己在写托福作文,编造的故事并不能证明全文的观点,那这样的文章得不到高分一点也不奇怪。
恰当的例子会紧扣主题,代入关键词,并适当运用对比的技巧使得例子所服务的论点更加突出。
例如在写一个话题:私家车的影响时,有一个分论点是写私家车数量的增加对生活环境有着明显的负面影响。
托福写作素材之比尔·盖茨
Bill Gates When Bill Gates made his decision to drop out from Harvard, he did not care too much of the result. Gates entered Harvard in 1973, and dropped out two years later when he and Allen started the engine of Microsoft. Many people did not understand why Gates gave up such a good opportunity to study in the world’s No.1 University. However, with size comes power, Microsoft dominates the PC market with its operating systems, such as MS-DOS and Windows. Now, Microsoft becomes the biggest software company in the world and Bill Gates becomes the richest man in the world.
托福写作素材之爱迪生
Thomas Edison We can learn from the experience of the great inventor Thomas Alva Edison that sometimes a series of apparent failures is really a precursor to success. The voluminous personal papers of Edison reveal that his inventions typically did not spring to life in a flash of inspiration but evolved slowly from previous works.
托福写作素材之曼德拉
Nelson Mandela Mandela, the South African black political leader and former president, was awarded 1993 Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to antiracism and antiapartheid. Nelson Mandela is one of the great moral and political leaders of our time: an international hero whose lifelong dedication to the fight against racial oppression in South Africa won him the Nobel Peace Prize and the presidency of his country. Since his triumphant release in 1990 from more than a quarter-century of imprisonment, Mandela has been at the centre of the most compelling and inspiring political drama in the world. As president of the African National Congress and head of South Africa's antiapartheid movement, he was instrumental in moving the nation toward multiracial government and majority rule. He is revered everywhere as a vital force in the fight for human rights and racial equality.
米开朗基罗(Michelangelo)
参考事迹:意大利文艺复兴时期伟大的绘画家、雕塑家和建筑师,文艺复兴时期雕塑艺术最高峰的代表。
著名作品《酒神巴库斯》,《哀悼基督》,《大卫》,《摩西》、《被缚的奴隶》和《垂死的奴隶》1519-1534年,他在佛罗伦萨创作了他生平最伟大的作品--圣洛伦佐教堂里的美第奇家族陵墓群雕。
1536年,米开朗基罗回到罗马西斯廷教堂,用了近六年的时间创作了伟大的教堂壁画《末日审判》。
之后他一直生活在罗马,从事雕刻、建筑和少量的绘画工作,直到1564年2月18日逝世于自己的工作室中。
利用点:老米作品多以批判和深刻沉重的色调为主。
他的大量作品显示了写实基础上非同寻常的理想加工,成为整个时代的典型象征。
他的艺术创作受到很深的人文主义思想和宗教改革运动的影响,常常以现实主义的手法和浪漫主义的幻想,表现当时市民阶层的爱国主义和为自由而斗争的精神面貌。
米开朗基罗的艺术不同于达•芬奇的充满科学的精神和哲理的思考,而是在艺术作品中倾注了自己满腔悲剧性的激情。
