托福阅读、独立写作高分心得
边拍拖边学习地准备了三四个月,学习效率不高,自然分数也不高。虽然分数不高,但备考路上的酸甜苦辣也尽数尝过,所以也想为托友们奉献一点自己的东西。
总成绩虽然不高,但我的阅读和独立写作考得还是比较出乎我意料的,阅读:29分;独立写作:GOOD(4.0-5.0)。 在此和大家分享一下我准备这两门的经验,最重要的,是想帮助对阅读和写作不是特别自信的战友减轻心里负担。
阅读
一个很大的感受是:只要单词过关,阅读绝对不成问题。我用的单词书是张红岩的《TOFEL词汇精选》,在进考场前,我至少已经把这本书背过10遍,在苦攻单词的过程中,我把阅读停了一段时间(这个停顿是因为当时觉得其他方面太烂,顾不了阅读了,所以不提倡战友们借鉴),彻底背完单词时,我才又拿起阅读,这时距离考试已经只有几天的时间,我掐时间做完了OG的三篇阅读,突然发现在单词上有了质的飞跃后,看阅读的感觉完全不一样了。这套题我得了25分,这是我背完单词后一直到考前做过的惟一一套阅读题,也是我托福备考过程中,做的惟一一套阅读模拟。
我参加的是5月17号的考试,考试时做阅读的感觉就和做OG一样,因为在词汇上基本没有障碍,题做起来非常顺手。之前上过新东方的托福班,积累了一些做题技巧,但真正考试的时候,凭借自己的词汇量便可以轻松搞定题目,没有凭借任何做题技巧。 单词确实是托福的基础,这是我考完托福后的最大感受!
独立写作
我的综合写作稀烂,这里就不说了。把独立写作单拎出来说,并不单单因为我得了个GOOD(4.0-5.0),最重要的,是我从我的作文中看到了T考作文的希望!说实话我的写作不是太好,考试之前总在试着写一篇完整的作文,但几乎每一次都因为实在写不出来而半途而废,以致于考试之前只写成过一篇作文。当时考试的题目是“应该看纯娱乐性电影还是看能引发思考的电影。”我选的是前者,以下是我的答题情况:
理由:1.(太忙)没时间思考;
2.(现代生活压力那么大)没心情思考;(这一段字数很少,只叙述完理由和对理由进行了一句改写就没了。)
3. 娱乐电影是大家讨论的话题,可以促进communication。

三个很小儿科的理由,没有任何类似范文里的深刻思考。字数304,刚刚够要求,相信大多数人为求保险,不会让自己的字数少于350.
用词:都是些基础词汇,连is bad, feel sorry这样的词都用上了,并用了很多大家平时比较避讳的I believe, it is 等简单句型,完全没有有技术含量的句子。
考试时间太紧张了,而且在准备考试的过程中才写过一篇作文,平时积累的好词汇、短语根本不扎实,到考场时一紧张就什么都想不起来了。我以为我作文只能得个Limited,没想到最后竟然是GOOD!
这就是我的复习基础和考试感受,我想这可以给很多对自己阅读和作文还没有很大信心的考生打打气。大家在考试之前一定要好好准备,别像我一样最后连作文模板都没背熟,但准备的过程中一定要多给自己一点信心,托福作文并不像我们想象中那么可怕(我当时在看了作文范文之后,吓得连笔都不敢下)。只要把单词背好(我每天都花整个上午的时间背单词,用晚上睡前1-2的时间复习单词)就能搞定阅读,把句子写通顺、完整,再用点简单的模板就能搞定写作。
啰嗦了这么多,希望可以对还在托路上奋斗的战友们有点帮助,最后祝大家考试顺利,申请成功!
