#托福 📘 提升托福寫作層次一定要掌握的 3 大要素
大家好,我是Kat 老師,我碰到很多學生在準備托福時都會有這個疑問:
「我明明寫得不錯啊,論點、例子都有,為什麼還是卡在 20 分?」
其實問題不在「你寫了什麼」,而是在「你怎麼寫」。
想穩定拿到 25 分以上,關鍵在於三個層次:用字、句型、結構。
① 用字層次:字要對、表達要準
例題是「是否支持政府推廣偏鄉旅遊?」
學生寫:
If I had to choose for the development of these rural areas, I would not encourage tourism.
看似沒錯,但其實 “choose” 這個字不太精準。
你又不是政府官員,怎麼「選擇」地方發展?
修改後更自然:
If I had to advise on the future development of these rural areas, I would oppose the government’s support for remote tourism.
這樣一改,立場清楚、語氣更符合正式學術英文。
② 句型層次:不是越長越好
學生原句:
Implementing this policy would not only disrupt the current economic balance in the countryside by abruptly inviting lots of tourists, but also result in vicious incidents such as littering and quarrels between outsiders and local people.
句子太長、重複前面內容(“inviting lots of tourists” 前面提過了),考官會覺得累。
簡化成:
Implementing this policy would not only disrupt the current economic balance in the countryside but also lead to problems such as littering and conflicts with locals.
20–30 字是托福寫作的最佳句長範圍,長句有層次、但要有重點。
③ 結構層次:抽象概念一定要舉例
學生寫:
To sum up, I would prefer that the government improves the unpopular regions’ economies by focusing on their own specialties.
問題在 “their own specialties” 太抽象,看不出具體方向。
修改後:
To sum up, I recommend that the government improve rural economies by developing their specialties, such as agriculture or light industry.
加個 “such as” 帶例子,瞬間讓結尾更具體又有說服力。
想讓托福寫作不再停留在「文法正確、句型漂亮」,而是展現真正的「學術思維」,
這三個層次──用字準確、句型靈活、結構明確──缺一不可。
