托福写作Task 2(学术讨论写作)要求考生在10分钟内阅读教授的问题和两位同学的回答,并撰写一篇逻辑清晰、观点明确的学术讨论文。
托福写作高分技巧
1、准确理解题目与同学观点
下笔前,务必仔细阅读教授的提问和两位同学的回复。你的任务是推进讨论,而非重复已有观点。误解题目或同学的观点会导致你的回答偏离主题。
Example:
❌Incorrect: The professor asks about improving skills for current jobs, but you write about job satisfaction instead.
✅Correct: If the professor asks about skill development, respond by discussing specific skills, such as leadership or technical abilities.
2、贡献新观点
你的回答应补充新论据或提出不同视角。可以赞同某位同学并进一步论证,或反对并提供反驳理由。避免单纯重复已有内容。
Example:
❌Incorrect: “I agree that employees should focus on future skills.” (This is too vague and doesn’t add anything new.)
✅Correct: “I agree that future skills are important, but I also think it’s crucial to refresh rarely used skills from our current jobs. For example, updating coding skills can keep employees competitive in their current roles.”
3⃣️简洁且紧扣主题
10分钟内需完成写作,因此要避免跑题或冗长。集中讨论教授的问题和同学的观点,确保逻辑清晰。
Example:
❌Incorrect: “While it’s important to learn new skills, employees also need more vacation time to prevent burnout.” (This introduces a different topic.)
✅Correct: “While new skills are essential for career growth, focusing only on future skills can leave employees unprepared for their current roles.”
4、语言清晰简洁
避免复杂句式和生僻词汇,用简单直接的语言表达观点。
Example:
❌Incorrect: “In this multifarious and ever-evolving occupational ecosystem, one must incessantly ameliorate one’s capabilities.”
✅Correct: “In today’s fast-changing job market, it’s important to continually improve your skills.”
5、兼顾正反观点
若题目涉及两面性,可先分析双方论点再表明立场,使回答更全面。
Example:
❌Incorrect: “We should only focus on future skills because that’s what will matter in the long run.”
✅Correct: “While future skills are important, focusing solely on them could mean neglecting current responsibilities. It’s important to balance both.”

托福写作中的常见错误
1、单纯附和,未增加价值🙅
仅表示赞同或反对无法体现批判性思维,需补充理由或新论据。
Example:
❌Incorrect: “I agree with Sarah. Employees should focus on their future skills.” (This adds nothing new.)
✅Correct: “I agree with Sarah’s point about future skills. However, I would argue that focusing on industry-specific skills will help employees stay competitive in the job market.”
2、使用个人经历或主观表达🙅
学术讨论需保持客观,避免个人故事或情感化表达。
Example:
❌Incorrect: “In my experience, learning new skills helped me get a promotion.”
✅Correct: “Learning new skills can lead to career advancement, as many industries prioritize candidates with up-to-date knowledge.”
3、过度复杂化表达🙅
复杂句式可能影响清晰度,简洁明了的句子更有效。
Example:
❌Incorrect: “The manifold exigencies of the contemporary workplace necessitate a plethora of capabilities.”
✅Correct: “Today’s workplace requires employees to have a variety of skills.”
4、忽视语法与句子结构🙅
即使时间紧张,也需确保语法正确、句子通顺。写完后快速检查明显错误。
Example:
❌Incorrect: “The companeis need to give all employees chance to attend trainings, this will improve future skills and current skills. But some employees they don’t want.”
✅Correct: “Companies should provide all employees with training opportunities. This will improve both their future and current skills, even for those who may be reluctant at first.”
