【英语干货】托福写作满分经验(上)｜3招拯救英语议论文！

如何提升英语议论文写作？

【基本原则】内容大于形式！模板、句型是锦上添花的，如果基础差的话，有时间不如多斟酌内容！

【内容提升3大招】

1、内容更充实具体：举例/对比/引用论证，举例最好用，想不出名人例子可以说自己或身边人的。

2、论证过程有逻辑：提纲中列出逻辑链再下笔（多设问）；巧用关系副词连词。

3、构思升华段：从时间、空间变量切入，考虑时空条件变化是否会引起结论的改变。

注意：以上3点是循序渐进的，即，内容充实具体＞论证过程有逻辑＞内容深度

【举个例子】

题目：教师是否应该给学生打分？

主论点：应该打分，有两个原因。

分论点1：因为打分能让学生对学科有更全面的了解。

分论点2：因为打分能帮助学生更好地了解自己。

Q：如何让分论点1的内容更充实？

A：可以看一下范例作文。用到了1个举例论证+1个对比论证。

Q：如何让分论点1的内容更有逻辑？

A：可以试图补全分论点。 例如，给学生打分→量化表现，让学习目标更清晰→有了清晰的目标才能更有动力→有了动力才会多花时间在课程上→多花时间才会更深入学科知识

Q：如何写升华段？

A：考虑时间空间变换。例如，打分能够适用于不同年龄段的学生吗？我国现有打分制度比过去更加多元，原因是什么？ 打分适用于所有学科吗？不同学校体制的学生都应该打分吗？为什么？（问一个问题深挖就好，不要写太多）

范文（改编自微信公众号：雷哥GMAT）

Personally, I believe students may be more motivated when given grades by teachers. I feel this way for two reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.

To begin with, students who are graded achieve more comprehensive knowledge of academic subjects. When a student has an opportunity to earn grades, he will spend more time working on his assignments and will therefore absorb more information and will achieve more comprehension. On the other hand, students who do not have to worry about their grades won’t work very hard and will only superficially understand their subjects. My own experience as a student is a compelling example of this. During my sophomore year I had to complete a major assignment in a political science class I was taking. According to the course syllabus, the assignment would make up about half of my total grade in the class, so I approached my work with diligence and care. I wrote an amazing speech and spent hours preparing for every possible question my classmates might think of. If the presentation had not been graded, I would not have spent so much time preparing for it. I am sure that students all over the world today are motivated to work hard by the chance to achieve high grades from their professors.

Secondly, grades motivate students because they are a way to determine which people in a group are objectively most intelligent. Grades are assigned in a systematic way, so they clearly demonstrate which students in a class are the best and brightest. For example, in my freshman year I took a literature class where students merely got a “pass” or “fail” at the end. Since only a moderate amount of effort was required to pass the class, I completed my assignments and presentations quite halfheartedly. In contrast, when I took a graded class on the same subject in my junior year, I spent hours in the library researching my papers so that I could show my professors that I was intellectually superior to my classmates. This may appear somewhat shallow, but in today’s competitive academic environment it is absolutely necessary for people to distinguish themselves.

In conclusion, I strongly believe that grades encourage students to learn. This is because they force students to learn as much as possible, and because they give young learners a way to distinguish themselves from their peers.
