【托福寫作】如何構建嚴密的邏輯框架?2大錯誤案例分析
在托福寫作中,我們是通常比較在意一些用詞和語句的問題,但是作為托福考試來說,對于考生的邏輯思維也有一定的考查。那么,怎樣在自己的文章內體現出邏輯思維的準確性呢?下面我們就用一下例子為大家詳細分析一下吧。
1. 分論點(supporting ideas)沒有緊扣中心論點(thesis statement)
Eg: As modern life becomes more complex, it is essential for young people to have the ability to plan and organize.
學生習作:Body 1:
It is undeniable that modern life becomes more complex because it is rivalrous: everyone is competing with each other in this society. With the improved modern life's quality, nowadays people often would have higher level of dreams and all of them want to achieve success. In order to achieve the dreams, people should do better than others. It's usually hard for people to stand out and obtain success, so people would ultimately find ways and to defeat others.
文中寫到:隨著生活更復雜,競爭更激烈,人們有更高的目標和理想并都想取得成功,到此為止都與題目的前半部分相吻合;但后面說people should do better than others太籠統,完全沒有點出題目的young people should have the ability to plan and organize,屬于部分偏題作文。
2. 前言不搭后語(inconsistency)
Eg: It is more important for the government to spend money on improving Internet access than on public transportation.
學生習作:Body 1:
Main point sentence: First, it is important to consider that improving public transportation can increase the sense of happiness of people.
details: Take Beijing as an example, in the past I used to wait for a long to time between two subways, which meant I had to leave home very early to school and spend relatively long time waiting for the subway, but after the government put their budget on increasing the number of subways in Beijing, the time spent on my way to school was really shorten, and I felt much relaxed every day and could focus more on my classes.
主題句表明改善公共交通能提高人們的幸福感;但detail中并沒有提到人們幸福感的提升,只說明了北京地鐵數量增加后,"我"感到更輕松也更能集中精力聽課了,與increase the sense of happiness無關。
