托福写作的五大准则（一）

　　对于托福写作考试，除了一个好的结构和例证之外，有些准则可以助你作文获得高分。这里小编为大家带来了托福写作 10 大准则，希望对大家的托福写作有帮助。

　　Elementary principles of composition

　　1. Make the paragraph the unit of composition: one paragraph to each topic

　　不同的段落构成文章，每个段落仅传递一个观点

　　2. As a rule, begin each paragraph with a topic sentence; end it in conformity with the beginning

　　规则：每个段落均以主题句开头，并且首尾呼应。

　　A. the topic sentence comes at or near the beginning;

　　主题句前置

　　B. the succeeding sentences explain or establish or develop the statement made in the topic sentence;

　　段落围绕主题句展开，后面的句子对主题句进行展开解释

　　C. the final sentence either emphasizes the thought of the topic sentence or states some important consequence.

　　末尾句或者对主题句进行强调，或者阐述主题句带来的结果。

　　3. Use the active voice

　　主动句永远比被动句直接有力

　　Eg: There were a great number of dead leaves lying on the ground

　　= Dead leaves covered the ground. ( 清晰生动 )

　　Eg: The reason that he left college was that his health became impaired.

　　= Failing health compelled him to leave college. ( 简洁有力 )

　　Eg: It was not long before he was very sorry that he had said what he had.

　　= He soon repented his words. ( 简洁有力 )

　　4. Put statements in positive form

　　以肯定的形式表达否定的意思 , 避免使用平淡、毫无色彩，犹豫不决和含糊其辞的语言。

　　Eg：He was not very often on time.

　　= He usually came late.

　　Eg: He did not think that studying Latin was much use.

　　= He thought the study of Latin useless.

　　Eg: The taming of the Shrew is rather weak in spots. Shakespeare does not portray Katharine as a very admirable character, nor does Bianca remain long in memory as an important character in Shakespeare ’ s works.

　　= The women in The Taming of the Shrew are unattractive. Katharine is disagreeable, Bianca insignificant.

　　5. Omit needless words

　　删除冗词

　　Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell.

　　有力的写作一定简洁。

　　Owing to the fact that

　　=Since ( because )

　　In spite of the fact that

　　=Though ( although )

　　Call your attention to the fact that

　　=Remind you ( notify you )

　　The fact that he had not succeeded

　　=His failure
