【托福写作提分】如何在文章中加以例证的论述?为托福写作加分
想要在托福写作中,取得高分文章中的论证是非常重要的。而要写好充实的论证,又需要在平时收集一些例子。那么,究竟如何将这些例子在文章中加以展开论述呢?下面我们就为大家详细介绍一下吧。
举例----缩小范围来论证。
如动物→鸟类,现代交通方式→飞机,上面的举例是最简单的形式,即对单个词/短语,或说单个对象举例。我们在独立写作中会遇到对单个对象的举例,这也是大家都能做好的;但我们更常遇到的是需要对一个句子,或说多个对象互相联系而串成的观点举例的情况,这时我们就需要留意我们所举的例子的有效性了。
举例的基本原则:
a. 细节性原则----细于被举例者。
b. 一致性原则----良好体现与要用举例证明的观点的一致对应关系,观点中的重点信息应在例子中不多不少地体现。
举例的具体操作方法:
粗举,细举,引调查,列数字。
(1)粗例----粗犷的例子
"粗例"即一类人、物或事,或一个公认事实的例子,说白了就是多数人都能认可的信息。寻找这类例子的时候比较轻松,只要在观点中找出可以继续细化的重点信息然后"narrow down"就可以了
观点1: Employers are willing to pay a premium for highly qualified applicants.
粗例1: International companies desire bilingual employees and offer higher salaries to attract them.
"粗例"可以建立"面"对"线"的关系,但需要注意不能太空洞,同时也要控制使用的量;粗例子需要搭配因果分析、比较论证来使用,才能使整个段落更有血肉。
(2)细例----细致的例子
"细例"就是具体到一个人、一个物,或一件事,可以是实际存在的,也可以无中生有。这类例子更加鲜活,更有说服力,通常也能占据更长一些的篇幅,平时有意识地积累并灵活联系,写起这类例子来才会更加得心应手。
a. 实际存在的,一方面,这类例子可以是身边,家人、朋友、自己和身边发生的一些事情;另一方面就是名人和一些被报道出来的“名事”了
观点2: Mistakes serve as vivid, sometimes painful deterrents from certain action.
细例2: A friend of mine suffering from smoking-induced lung disease would remember the emotional and physical pain associated with the side-effects of tobacco usage. Not only does he recall the smell of hospitals, the imprint of pain on the face of someone who died from smoking, but he would also link these memories immediately with cigarettes.
观点3: You cannot judge a person only by his or her appearance.
细例3: Susan Boyle is one of those. Such an appearance has long been rumored, but her incredible voice and stunning performance on BGT has won her great popularity.
b. 此外,"细例"的无中生有就是假设论证,常用if,supposing等开头
观点4: Individuals play a significant role in alleviating traffic congestion.
细例4: If 30 people get on a public bus instead of 30 individual cars, there will be far fewer automobiles on the road, greatly easing the traffic burden.
