出出国老师预测今年2013年参加托福考试的人数将突破前几年,因为现在留学已由精英阶层转为平民阶层。家庭年收入在30万左右的家庭,父母都希望能将孩子送到国外去留学。而留学英美等国家需要提供托福成绩,托福的综合写作分数可以说是由3部分决定的,阅读能力、听力能力和写作能力。
中国的考生对于阅读能力可以说是基本不care。因此托福的综合写作的关键则是听力能力和写作能力两个部分。这就需要考生在平日的备考过程中加强这两方面的练习,从而提高托福写作分数。
除此之外,就是对于托福考试的熟悉程度,如下是出出国老师整理的关于托福作文素材。很多同学对于托福综合作文的写法,或者说侧重点很不清晰。其实很简单,也就是先写阅读,再写听力。听力多写,阅读少写。因此接下来就是怎样去连接文章的问题,或者说如何把文章整合起来。

如下是一篇托福写作范文,希望考生可以多多揣摩。
The reading states that assembling a group of people in a team is the best way to approach certain new projects. However, the professer’s lecture casts doubts on the reading by giving detailed examples about the penomenain a company.
The first doubt is that people in teams do not get what they deserve. According to the professor, there are “free riders” in every team and these people can still benefit from the recognition the team gets. In contrast, those who make real contributions are not recognized, as the success goes to the group as a whole. These differ from the reading’s statement, that is, members of the team usually have chances to be recognized as highly significant.
Another key point made by the professor is that teams do not move very quickly because they are hard to reach consensus, especially they need a lot of meetings to reach an agreement. Instead, the reading mentioned that, teams move quickly. To be specific, teams have wider range of knowledge, expertise and skills. These two points, if compared, are whole against each other.
Moreover, the professor argues that influencers are sometimes too influential over what the group do. The group may drop the plans which should be discussed deeper and turn to the so called “highly created” plans made by the influencers. Additionally, when these influencers make mistakes, the whole team is to be blamed.
In conclusion, the doubts casted above demonstrate that the reading’s opinion “teams are more risky and creative” is suspicious for us to believe according to the lecture of the professor.
