Pt大大为大家精心挑选了各种托福口语(蓝色高亮)写作(黄色高亮)的题目,并翻译成了中文(蓝色加粗),提供了参考思路(绿色加粗),还做了知识点补充(紫色加粗)。
“1.To be both a speaker of words and a doer of deeds. 既当演说家,又做实干家。
(1)doer “实干家”= someone who does things instead of just thinking or talking about them
(2)与doer-“实干家”相对的是talker/ a speaker of words-“演说家”/dreamer “空想家”
(3)请注意:“空想家”可不是“thinker”哦!thinker是“思想家”的意思! = someone who thinks carefully about important subjects such as science or philosophy, especially someone who is famous for thinking of new ideas: 比如Schopenhauer(哲学家叔本华)
(4)deed /di:d/发音上要和did/did/相区别,这里是长元音。这个词的意思是“行为” = 【formal,正式的说法,适合用在写作之中】 something someone does, especially something that is very good or very bad.【既可以指做好事的行为,也可以指做坏事的行为】

Question:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Communication skill is the most important element in a successful leadership.
沟通技巧对于一位成功的领导者来说是最重要的。【原题,用这句话无法反驳。因为“也重要”“同样的重要”不能用来反驳“最重要”。】
“2.There is no royal road to learning.求知无坦途。
【no royal road to sth. = no shortcut 没有捷径 Learning things requires work.】
托福题目参考:独立写作【2014-01-25NA】Question:Some students prefer to have their final grades determined by many small assignments, whereas others prefer to have their final grades determined by only a few big assignments. Which do you prefer and why?
有些学生喜欢最终成绩取决于很多小作业,而另一些学生则更愿意最终成绩取决于为数不多的几次大作业,你更喜欢哪种?为什么?
【Many small assignments 因为这样可以不断巩固知识。当然,这会费一些时间和经历,但毕竟:After all, there is no royal road to learning.嘛!】
“3.Doubt is the key to knowledge.怀疑是知识的钥匙。
【the key to sth. 是……的钥匙,相当于“是……的秘诀”。我们也可以仿写:Doubt is the key to success. 怀疑是成功的钥匙。】
托福题目参考:独立写作【2014-01-25NA】Question:Some parents do not agree with the way teachers are teaching their children. Do you think that parents should express their disapproval to the teachers?
有些家长不同意老师教育他们孩子的方式。你认为这些家长应该把他们的不认同表达给老师吗?【Agree】
“
4.The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart. 世界上对勇气的最大考验是忍受失败而不丧失信心。
【on earth的意思是“在世界上”;bear动词是“忍受”,名词是“熊”; lose heart = lose confidence 丧失信心,如果失恋了很伤心可不是lose heart而是break heart】

在失败时仍保持乐观积极是比获得成功更加重要的事。【Agree】
