【篇一】托福科学发现是否应该无国界
英语中的谚语叫做proverb。这些谚语大多带有明显的文化特点和印记，因此用到托福写作中可以有效提升文章的表达深度以及论述的说服力。不过想要做到这一点，大家在选择和使用谚语时需要注意这几点：
1. 文化差异不可忽视
想要在托福写作中用好谚语，考生会面对的主要障碍之一就是中西方的文化差异问题。谚语本身就是不同文化的缩影，里面可能带有许多典故历史类的内容，考生如果没有充分理解这些谚语中的深层信息，在使用上就难免会出现张冠李戴或是牛头不对马嘴的情况，特别是那些想要把中文里的谚语直接翻译强行转化成英语谚语的做法，基本上都只会贻笑大方。
2. 搞清谚语的使用语境
其次，想要用好谚语，光是准确理解了其含义还是不够的，考生还需要了解谚语适合放入的语言环境才行。比如在文章段落中的摆放位置就是一例。有些谚语适合放在段落开头作为引言来使用，先写出来之后可以方便大家展开具体论述，而有些谚语则更适合作为段落甚至文章的收尾句子来使用，这其中的差别考生也需要有所了解才行。这方面小编建议大家多看文章做积累，或者在收集谚语类素材的时候注意一下它们在原文中的使用环境，以避免用错位置徒增尴尬。
【篇二】托福科学发现是否应该无国界
了解了谚语在托福写作中使用的注意事项后，下面小编来和大家分享一些经过精心整理，适合在托福写作的各类常见话题中使用的谚语，缺乏素材积累的同学可以来学习一下：
practice makes perfect. 熟能生巧
patience is the road to understanding. 理解万岁
all roads lead to rome. 条条大路通罗马
attitudes define everything. 态度决定一切
every coin has its two sides. 有利有弊
one’s meat is another’s poison. 己所不欲，勿施于人
上面这些谚语虽然数量不多，但基本上托福独立写作中的各类话题都是可以派的上用处的，考生如何能够在写文章的时候合理插入，相信也能有效提升文章的表现力，得到评分老师更好的评价。
托福考试写作省时方法
托福写作第一步：审题、确定托福立场、列出理由(只需要在草稿纸上用英文单词或汉语列出各个理由，防止遗忘)，最少3分钟最多5分钟。要避免两个极端：
a. 用时太少，理由没有想清楚就开始写，不仅造成文章逻辑结构不清，还会引起行文中频繁的修正，欲速则不达;
b. 用时太多，不要追求一次思考就能把每一条理由及相关例证都想出来。其实想出两条之后就可以动笔，各个理由的例证可以写到该段时边思考边写。这一点你不必怀疑，只要你的思维还是正常的，一定能做到。
托福写作第二步：托福正文写作最少22分钟最多26分钟：
a.各段写作时，注意对段落的不同部分给予不同的重视。主题句给予最大重视，注意炼句，别说你不想写主题句，主题句可以使读者和笔者本人更清晰该段落写什么。各段中支持性细节写作不必遵循相同的模式。
有n种选择可供参考：1.举具体事例;2.说对方相对缺点;3.使用数据;4.使用假想例子;5.使用类比、比喻、引用等修辞手段来论述。哪一种你最容易想出来，就用哪一种。
b.考前将文章开头、结尾、例证、让步等各种句型背熟练，并且练习和模考时把他们用熟，要象做完型填空一样对待考场作文。别试图在考场上再去临时决定比如哪种开头好，怎样结尾好。使用自己选种的套话。
c.当被告知还有5分钟结束时，一般你应该已经写到最后一条理由，或者已经在做结尾。要确保文章有结尾段(不排除将它和最后一条理由的末段结合在一起的可能性)。
托福写作第三步：检查需要1-3分钟，有侧重点地检查：
a.句法：确保每句话是完整的，有谓语，且简单句只有一个谓语。
b.时态：文章绝大部分使用的是一般现在时;一般现在时第三人称要使用单数;使用过去发生的事例时用的是过去时;
c.主谓一致按此三步，持续练习5篇以上，可以确保时间问题。
如何在30分钟行文的整个过程中保持书面整洁：
A、TWE要求必须用铅笔写作文，你要自己准备好铅笔和橡皮。橡皮要有韧性，太硬会擦破纸，有错误要擦干净再改;
B、第一遍写作时要求字迹不要太大也不要太小，通常一行写10-12个左右单词为宜。如果书法不好，可以在考前练习写一下斜体的26个字母。

【篇三】托福科学发现是否应该无国界
托福写作范文分享：毕业后是否选择回家
After they complete their univerrsity studies, some students preferr to live in their hometowns while others choose to live in different towns or cities. Everybody has his own reasons for his preference. After my graduation, I will go back and live in my home city. I have made this decision because of the following reasons.
Firstly, my home city is a big city that can offer a lot. There are plenty of opportunities for work, many big libraries for studies, several differrent musiums for visit, and numerous cinemas, theaters and centers for entertainment. When I go back there, I will have no difficulty in finding a job suitable for me and I can make use of all the facilities available there.
Secondly, if I go back to my home city, I can look after my parents. I take this into consideration because I am their only child and they are now weak and getting on in age. If I live in the same city with them, I can visit them very often and help them whenever it is necessary. Thirdly, if I live in my home city, I will have a lot of friends, schoolmates and relatives to visit and to turn to for help when I need. Of course, I could get acquainted with many people and make many friends if I were to go to live in a strange place, but that takes time. If I go back to my home city, everybody will be waiting for me and I will be able to settle down comfortably without any trouble and waste of time.
In short, my choise is based on a careful consideration of my home city and my family. I think it is a better or sensible choice; in a certain sense, it is a must.
Neighbors are the people who live near us. In your opinion, what are the qualities of a good neighbor? Use specific details and examples in your answer.
托福写作批改：大学毕业生的去向问题
In many countries, good school and medical facilities are available only in cities. Some people think university graduates who become new teacher and doctors should work in rural areas for a few years. What is your view?
学生原文：
Admittedly, there are big gaps between urban areas and rural areas especially in education and medical treatment. People from rural areas have more difficulties in accessing good universities and hospitals compared with city people. Whether the universities graduates who become doctors and teachers should work in rural areas for some time is highly debatable. My opinion is that this suggestion is practical.
Obviously, there are some benefits to the fresh graduates who work as doctors and teachers in rural areas. For example, they can enhance their physical and mental health by experiencing hard life and circumstance which is totally different from the comfortable life in city. They would become strong and independent if they survival from the tough life in rural area, thereby making them more prepared when they face challenges in future. Secondly, the sense of responsibility to the whole society will be developed by helping with others. They will feel proud by helping with others, which makes the society more civilized. Furthermore, they would be more skilled in teaching and diagnosing comparing with their colleagues in cities as they have more chance to practice.
Not only will the fresh graduates be beneficial from such idea, but also the local residents. They can receive more formal education and better treatment. Theoretically, the disparity between cities and rural areas could be reduced effectively by implementing such idea.
However, every coin has two sides. The side effect of this idea is also outstanding as the fresh graduates may lack of competitiveness due to the rural areas are lack of experienced staff and good facilities to supervise and support them. They may lack of knowledge of advanced facilities and systematic teaching method which make them difficult to readapt the new working environment when they go back to cities after several years. Moreover, some of them may treat their job negatively as they are not willing to go to rural areas.
Therefore, it is not wise to send all the fresh doctors and teachers to rural areas to work for a few years. The freedom of choice should be left to themselves. The government should raise some good policies to encourage those who are willing to help and support rural areas. For instance, providing free training and giving extra allowance to the volunteers would be feasible measures.

Admittedly, there are big gaps between urban areas and rural areas especially in education and medical treatment. People from rural areas have more difficulties in accessing good universities and hospitals compared with city people.【背景介绍】Whether the universities graduates who become doctors and teachers should work in rural areas for some time is highly debatable. 【改写题目】My opinion is that this suggestion is practical.【自己的观点】
第一段写的非常好，严格按照背景介绍——改写题目——自己的观点 这个层次去写，内容很充实。
Obviously, there are some benefits to the fresh graduates who work as doctors and teachers in rural areas. For example, 【Firstly,与下文的secondly对应，这样结构上会紧凑点】they can enhance their physical and mental health by experiencing hard life and circumstance which is totally different from the comfortable life in city. They would become strong and independent if they survival from the tough life in rural area, thereby making them more prepared when they face challenges in future. Secondly, the sense of responsibility to the whole society will be developed by helping with others. They will feel proud by helping with others, which makes the society more civilized. 【这一点阐述的不到位，具体为什么可以增强他们的责任感你要细讲】Furthermore, (Last but not least)they would be more skilled in teaching and diagnosing comparing with their colleagues in cities as they have more chance to practice.
【此外，可以把选取两点内容分开来，两段详细阐释，比较好,更有说服力。不然这样子结构上可能不够紧凑，而且阐述的都不够到位。】
Not only will the fresh graduates be beneficial from such idea, but also the local residents. (亮点句式)They can receive more formal education and better treatment. Theoretically, the disparity between cities and rural areas could be reduced effectively by implementing such idea.
However, every coin has two sides. The side effect of this idea is also outstanding as the fresh graduates may lack of competitiveness due to the rural areas are lack of experienced staff and good facilities to supervise and support them. 【due to后面接名词，不是句子，the rural areas lack of experienced staff and good facilities to supervise and support them】They may lack of(in) knowledge of advanced facilities and systematic teaching method which make them difficult to readapt the new working environment when they go back to cities after several years. Moreover, some of them may treat their job negatively as they are not willing to go to rural areas.
Therefore, it is not wise to send all the fresh doctors and teachers to rural areas to work for a few years. 【这一句总结的很得体到位】The freedom of choice should be left to themselves. The government should raise some good policies to encourage those who are willing to help and support rural areas. For instance, providing free training and giving extra allowance to the volunteers would be feasible measures.
估分：6.5
评价：论证结构还需要再优化，同时让自己的每一个分论点可以得到更充分的阐述。另外一些细节也要注意，写好后读一遍。
【托福写作】托福作文高级句型归纳汇总
句型1
原文材料：
“The new rules should thus expose polluters to a scissor-style pressure:from above,through the central-planning system,and from below,from the media and organisations such as Mr Ma"s.”
推荐句型：
_x be exposed to a scissor-style pressure: from above, through…, and from below, from….
推荐理由：
压力毫无疑问是一个写作和口语考试中非常常用的一个理由，因为它可以跟很多东西相关，比如压力的来源(生活压力，学习压力，工作压力)，压力的影响(身体差，心情不爽)，减压的方式和措施等等，上面的句型就可以用来描写某一个主体，比如工作的人或者学生，面临着双重压力，工作的人可能来自照顾老人抚养孩子;学生可能来自父母老师以及同伴。
原创例句：
1. A majority of the youths today are exposed to a scissor-style pressure: from above, through looking after the ever growing aging population, and from below, from the soaring costs of raising children.
1.当今，大多数年轻人面临剪刀式的压力：从上方看，通过照顾不断增长的老龄化人口;从下方，从养育子女的高昂成本中受益。
2. A multitude of teenagers at present are exposed to a scissor-style pressure: from above, through their parents with ever-higher expectations, and from below, from their peers most of whom try their best to outdo each other.
2.当前，许多青少年承受着剪刀式的压力：从上方，通过对父母寄予厚望的父母，从下方，从同龄人中，大多数人都尽力超越对方。
学以致用：
1. People care more about public recognition than about money.
根据上面的例句，这个题目我们可以选择不同意，那些苦逼的刚上班没几年的年轻人，怎么可能更在乎名而不是钱呢?他们压力多大啊，当然需要钱了啊;
2. Younger school children should be required to study music and art in addition to language, science, and mathematics.
同样，这个题目我们也可以选择不同意的立场，孩子们本来就压力特别大，父母期望高，同伴都一个比一个牛逼，学校里面的课程和辅导课都上不完呢，怎么可能有时间搞别的呢。这不是坑爹吗?
句型2
原文材料：
While, arguably, this “finding” is as trivial as an umbrella that turns blue when it’s going to rain, there is nothing trivial about collecting personal data, as innocuous as that data may seem.
推荐句型(变体)：
While...seems/sounds as adj. as can be, there is nothing more adj. than...
推荐理由：
我们在独立写作中经常用到对比的写法。这个句型可用在具有对比意味的语境中，前半句当作让步，“尽管对比中的一个因素看起来已经很…”, 后半句转折说“但是另一个因素更…”.
原创例句：
1. While environmental protection seems as pressing as can be, there is nothing more pressing than feeding the growing population in disadvantaged countries where the original eco-system is well preserved.
1.尽管环境保护似乎迫在眉睫，但除了养护原始生态系统良好的处境不利的国家不断增长的人口外，没有什么比这更紧迫了。
2. While a secure job seems as tempting as can be, there is no job more tempting than a risky and well-paid one for the new generation who are mostly avid challenge hunters.
2.虽然一份安全的工作似乎很诱人，但没有什么比充满风险的猎手的新一代冒险和报酬高的工作更诱人了。
3. While playing sports with a couple of friends sounds as relaxing as can be, there is nothing more relaxing than a good book or an old movie for those manual laborers who are wearied out with strenuous physical work every day.
3.在与几个朋友一起运动时，听起来可能会很轻松，但对于那些每天疲惫不堪的体力劳动者来说，没有什么比一本好书或一部老电影更令人放松了。
学以致用：
1. Feeding the world’s growing population is more important than protecting environment.
这道题中如果我们持同意的意见，就可以用到第 一个例句。尽管到处都在宣扬保护环境的重要，但是并非世界各地的环境都破坏了啊，比如美丽的非洲大草原原始生态环境保持完好，但是一些边缘小国民不聊生，人民瘦的皮包骨，你说feed population重要还是保护环境重要呢?
2. It is better to take a secure job with a low pay than to take a risky one with a high salary.
根据第二个例句，我们这道题可以不同意。虽然铁饭碗听起来挺诱人的，但新一代的年轻人个个都很傲娇，热衷追寻挑战，高薪高风险的工作相比之下更合他们的口味。
3. To read a book or to watch a movie is a better way to relax than to do some physical exercises.
第三个例句回答的就是这道题，确实约三五好友做做运动听起来不赖，但是对于那些每天做繁重体力劳动的工人来说，额外的运动会加重他们的身体负担，还是一本好书或者一部老电影更能帮他们放松。
句型3 原文材料：
It takes very little imagination to foresee how the kitchen mood wall could lead to advertisements for antidepressants that follow you around the Web...It takes even less imagination to foresee how information about your comings and goings obtained from the Google Latitude Doorbell could be used in a court of law.
推荐句型：
It takes very little imagination to ….It takes even less imagination to ...
推荐理由：
这个句型看起来很简单，但我们一般不会想到先用little表示极少，再用less表示比little还少。两个句子排列工整，可以用在说理部分，用来描述一个不言自明、显而易见的情况
原创例句：
1. It takes very little imagination to foresee how fast competition in the adulthood would turn vicious; it takes even less imagination to foresee in what way vicious competition would influence friendships.
1.几乎没有想象力就能预见成年后的竞争会变得多么恶毒; 只需花费更少的想象力就可以预见恶性竞争将以何种方式影响友谊。
2. It takes little imagination to visualize what people would be like if they do not have access to education. It takes even less imagination to visualize what a country would be like if its people are, through no fault of their own, ignorant.
2.几乎没有想象力就可以想象人们如果没有受教育的机会会是什么样子。 如果一个国家没有自己的过失而无知，那么想象一个国家会是什么样子，甚至需要更少的想象力。
3. It takes little imagination to foresee that people’s awareness will soon be enhanced. It takes even less imagination to foresee that governments of different countries will take joint efforts and sponsor more scientific researches against the exacerbating environment.
3.几乎没有想象力就能预见到人们的意识将很快增强。 可以预见，各国政府将共同努力，并在日益恶化的环境中资助更多的科学研究，这需要更少的想象力。
学以致用：
1. Competition between friends always has negative influence on their friendship.
这道题简直不能同意更多，成年朋友之间一有竞争就容易友尽。用例句的话说就是，不难想象成年人之间的竞争很快就会升级成撕逼大战，更不难猜竞争变味后的朋友还能不能好好玩耍。
2. Improving schools is the most important factor for the successful development of a country.
古话说得好，教育是国之根本，没文化真可怕。一个人没受过教育会是啥样，一个国家的人都没文化这个国家又会是啥样，敢想吗?所以这道题就同意呗，改善学校是国家成功发展的重要因素。
3. The most important problems that affect our society can be solved within our lifetime.
现在人类烦心的事是什么?看看帝都人民发明的APEC blue就知道了，环境啊。那环境问题能不能在我们有生之年解决呢?当然了，都已经水深火热成这样了，人民的环保意识肯定会提高啊，过年过节放鞭炮的都少了;基层人民都行动了，各国还好意思围观么，当然得行动起来了。当年的敦雾霾一世纪就缓过来了，我们现在科技这么发达，心情这么迫切，很有可能环境问题几十年就解决了。所以这道题答yes就行了。
【托福写作】怎样合理安排托福作文的时间和字数
托福写作部分考查考生在学术领域中的英文写作能力。通常考生需要用课上学到的知识写论文和作文。这要求考生能够将课堂，讲座内容与阅读教材和其他材料相结合，这种类型的写作被称为综合写作。在这种写作题型中，考生必须:
对听到和看到的材料做笔记，在写作前利用笔记组织信?准确地从原文材料中总结、释义和引用信息
写出听到的信息与读到的信息之间是如何联系的
考生还必须会写表达并支持自己观点的论文，这种类型被称为独立写作。在这种写作题型中，考生需要依据自身的知识和经历表达并支持一种观点。
无论是综合写作还是独立写作，都需要遵循一定的写作规则。众所周知，一篇文章有三个基本组成部分：引言、主体和结论。那么如何将这三个部分完美地衔接在一起，写出一篇语句通顺，逻辑清晰的文章呢?遵循下面五个步骤，让你的文章改头换面，更上一层楼!
1、理清文章思路
在开始写作之前，先在草稿纸上写一个简短的概要或提取一些关键点，来帮助自己整理思路。这将有助于文章条理清晰。你也可以直接在电脑的答题区打出提纲或笔记，然后从这些点出发，扩充写更多句子和段落使行文丰满。
2、确定主要论点
论点是引导文章的主要思想或观点，读者可以从文章论点中了解你想要表达的关键信息。无需赘言，你只需用一句话阐明论点，简明扼要地表达论述思路即可。
3、注重写作质量
不知道你在写作文时有没有过这样的经历：写着写着就刹不住笔，文章越来越长而且偏离初衷。实际上，相较于冗长的文章而言，写一篇结构清楚、逻辑通顺的文章来展现自身的语言掌握程度，往往得分会更高。
你也可以学习优秀文章、段落的组织方式。一个好的段落通常会在第一句(即主题句)提出论点，且整段均围绕这一要点展开论述，论点不同的各个段落组织在一起即强化文章的中心观点。
试着尽可能使用短句，不同段落表达不同的观点，注意段落之间的过渡衔接。
4、认真仔细校对
带上“火眼金睛”，要预留充足的时间来仔细阅读写好的文章，尽可能找出你可能会犯的任何拼写错误或语法错误。
5、不断计时练习
考试前，你可以用托福官网提供的免费样题来训练自己限时写作的能力。适当练习后，相信在考试当天你就不会因时间限制而感到紧张了。
为了确保考试绝对公平，托福写作采用eRater自动化评分技术辅助人工评分的方式，以全面准确地反映应试者的英语写作能力。将评分员对作文内容和意义的理解及自动化评分系统对语言表达的评分结合在一起，确保了分数的质量和高标准。
正因如此，托福考试能帮助你在申请者中脱颖而出，向学校展示你身上额外独具的闪光点。大学招生官会注意到这一点。
【篇四】托福科学发现是否应该无国界
托福写作应该做好哪些准备工作?
一、打字速度一定要快
打字的速度也是考前需要练习的，很多同学在平时打字速度还是很快的，但是到了考场上因为紧张急促，反而总是出错，速度也比较慢，影响了写作思路和心情。写作的时间有限，所以考前可以选择一篇文章练习一下打字和心态!
二、准备写作模板和常用句式
不建议用别人用过的模板，但是在备考的过程中，一定要形成自己的写作风格，可以根据不同的话题整理一些模板出来。考前一天，可以都过一遍。在构思方面综合与独立写作推崇的都是：首段+理由段+尾端，只不过在理由段中略有差异。综合写作理由段：三个观点对应三个反驳或者支持点观点。独立写作理由段：两段或者三段都可以，构思的范围可以围绕着PECTS(person/pressure/environment/economy/culture/communication/technology/time/study)来展开，这几个方面作为brainstorm的观点来展开。同时在理由段落把这些观点串成一段的话，那么你就可以采用五种方法原因挖掘、拟无主题、对比、事实论证以及例子补充的方法进行阐述。这里不做过多的赘述。灵活多变的语言会使你的作文变得丰富多彩，给考官留下深刻的印象。例如，善于使用倒装、强调、定语从句、非谓语等高级句式。就会给你的托福写作添彩加分。整理一些高分句式，不管什么样的话题都可以用的到。
三、养成检查的好习惯
写完最后当然还是要留出1-2分钟的时间进行检查。这点在平时练习和考场上都用的到，主要包括语法，时态，拼写。一些笔误以及小的语法错误，5分作文如上文所述是允许有Minor的，但是如果多了，必定会影响你的分数。
托福考试作文独立写作范文：假期少但是有趣有挑战性的工作的利弊
Which do you prefer with the same rate of pay, an interesting and challenging job with less vacation or a job with more vacation time but less fun? .5.7 ML
An interesting and challenging job with less vacation or a boring job with more vacation, which one is better.
点睛
题目大意：一个假期少但是有趣有挑战性的工作和一个假期多无聊的工作，哪个更好。 此题是一道比较类的题目，而且发现两个种工作各有利弊，所以波波建议，用取决于的观点来写，即认为那种工作好取决于人们的年龄，对于年龄大的人来说后者好，对于年轻人来说，前者好。
托福写作模板及参考答案：
写作参考一:
The next two months will witness the graduation of a huge number of college students in China, triggering an urgent issue whether it is better to seek an interesting and challenging job with less vacation than finding those jobs with more vacation but less fun. From my perspective, a challenging and interesting job matters more.
For one thing, mentally challenging jobs can keep employees’ mind sharp even long after retirement. To put it more specific, even a mentally demanding job may stress workers out today; it can provide important benefits after retirement. “Based on data spanning 18 years, a study suggests certain kinds of challenging jobs have the potential to enhance and protect workers’ mental functioning in later life,” said by Gwenith Fisher, a faculty associate at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research. The research analyzed data on 4,182 participants in the U-M Health and Retirement Study, which surveys a representative sample of more than 20,000 older Americans every two years and the final result reveals people who had worked in jobs with greater mental demands were more likely to have better memories before they retired and more likely to have slower declines in memory after retiring than people who had worked in jobs with fewer mental demands. Accordingly, being engaged in a challenging and interesting job will benefit employees’ mental functioning.
For another thing, the more challenging the job is, the higher salaries employees will be paid with. Generally speaking, a challenging job will require employees to master multiple capabilities and techniques and to undertake more responsibilities. Thus, they will be paid with high salaries, making it possible for them to do whatever stirs up their interest. For instance, one of my friends named Jason works as a top software engineer in a renewed IT company in China and he is well paid. Besides, his hobby is photography and travel in foreign countries. On weekends or public holidays he often chooses to take photographs in different places of historic interest and scenic beauty or travel abroad. In the near two years, he has traveled in many countries in Europe and Southeast Asia and take a lot of beautiful pictures. Obviously, compared with average citizens in big cities who are busy in dealing with a variety of problems in daily lives, Jason’s life experience can tell us that his high-paid job gives him chances to live a more leisure life during vacation.
Admittedly, if people choose to take a less-fun job with more vacation, they can spend more time with their families and doing what they like. In this way, they will live a less-pressure life. However, from what I believe, people should try their best to play to their strengths and talents on the career path especially when they are young and a challenging job will require employees to be fully devoted.
To conclude, a challenging job with less vacation is superior to a job with more vacation but less fun.
写作参考二:
In the current society full of fierce competition, we can readily observe that landing an ideal job has become increasingly difficult, which forces us to a concession in the requirement of the job we want. When it comes to which is more appealing, an interesting job with less holiday or the boring one with more vacation, people varying in backgrounds and personalities may view the same issue from different angles. From my perspective, the issue should be analyzed case by case.
On the one hand, choosing a challenging job with less vacation is a wise move for the young. As we know, the defining characteristic of young adults is the degree to which they are endowed with lofty ambition and never fear any challenges. As a result, challenges accompanying the work will help young people to tap their potential capability and thus achieve greater success. For another, less spare time is not a big deal for the young, because they are so energetic and vigorous that a sound sleep can help them to restore their vitality. A good case in point is the experience my friend, Andy. As a broker in an Stock Exchange Company in Beijing, he has to deal with large quantities of data and keep close track of any events which may cause the fluctuation of stock price. Although the heavy pressure brought by his job often require him to work overtime and even around the clock, he never makes complaints because the exciting and adventurous experience from selling or buying stocks appeals him a lot.
On the other hand, older people prefer to select the relatively boring job with more leisure time. For one thing, boring jobs means that employees have to accomplish the same tasks again and again so that there is less pressure and stress, which is very important to the health of older people. As is common sense, the senior are more susceptible to various diseases such as hypertension and heart attack due to the weakening immune system. Consequently, any additional stress from work may pose a serious threat to their physical well-being. Also, older people are usually those who have got married or even have children, so spending more time accompanying their family members is of great significance. Undoubtedly, the job with more vacation can better satisfy the need of staying longer with their kids or spouse. During the stay, the emotional bond between them will become closer and more intimate.
Judging from what has been discussed above, we can draw the conclusion that it depends on the age group of people whether the interesting job with less vacation is better than the monotonous one with more holiday.
写作参考三:
Should people choose to do challenging jobs with less vacation? Or should they get involved in tedious jobs that offer more off days? I lean towards the latter choice.
Indeed, challenging jobs seem good for modern people, since the essence of those jobs can motivate employees and make them feel they are valued and respected. Is it really worth it, however, to put what other people think of them in priority at the expense of a more comfortable work style and more vacation? Drinking a Margarita on the beach in Hawaii or feeling the breeze on the Seine is all it takes for one to choose a job with longer vacation but less fun.
Longer vacation provides people with unparalleled relaxation. Modern people are tortured by heavy workload in all walks of life, ranging from common office workers to corporate bosses. What they need is nothing but a long vacation far away from daily chores. When seeing sun rising from the horizon, appreciating the grandness of pyramids, or smelling the fragrance of lavender in Provence, one would definitely take his minds off whatever bothers him in work. Some people will say that shorter vacation can serve the same purpose in terms of relaxation. But shorter vacation like a day or two days off is far from enough for employees to get a thorough refreshment. Without enough relaxation, employees are less likely to feel satisfied towards their life, let alone be concentrated on work itself.
Challenging jobs are not wise choices not only because they offer less vacation but also because such jobs tend to make employees overexert themselves. Interesting as it may seem, a challenging job put workers in a situation where they have to fight for their career security considering the myriad competitors. In sales field, which is commonly considered as quite challenging, it is not rare to work extended hours or even on weekends to follow potential customers. Thus they are often haunted by endless mental stress. In contrast, a job that is less fun may give people a monotonous life, but they are less susceptible to unexpected employment and less pressure, which compromises the monotony thing after all.
All in all, people should try to take various factors into consideration when choosing their jobs. When a job’s entertaining and challenging nature conflicts with vacation it could offer, I go with the latter.

【首段】 背景介绍 + 争议焦点 + 作家立场
A close friend is what every individual longs after. After all, a day without friendship is like a day without sunshine. A true friend should be one from who we can resort to for help or get valuable suggestions when we are in time of adversity. People differ greatly in their views as to whether or not guidance and advice from older friends is superior to the counterparts from peers. As I see it, advice from elderly friends deserves more praises, although suggestions from our peers are never without their merits.
【二段】年长的朋友的建议的利好
For a start，rich life experience could be seen as a sort of precious wealth, including those bitter or frustrating experiences. Every individual grows up via experiencing failure or dilemma, one might，at times，feel puzzled，thereby，he or she needs advice and guidance from friends.
Under such circumstances, older friends could be our best teachers because they have accumulated a pool of life wisdom, thus, their advice could be precious life guidance. A survey is persuasive enough to justify my stand, the survey conducted by Vista, after consulting many people have found that most respondents claimed that compared with communicating with peers, they prefer to get advice from elderly friends, for their suggestions could help to diminish the likelihood of failure and avoid detours
【三段】年长的朋友的建议的利好
This debate reminds me of my Uncle Paul, who is a successful business leader. My uncle had studied in New Zealand for more than five years, so, he strongly recommended me to study abroad when facing with the option of studying at home or furthering my study in a foreign country. His suggestion was that a young man could become mature, tenacious and confident by personal struggle in an unfamiliar environment.
After listening to my uncle’s advice, I studied even harder during the process of self-improvement, I happily found that I can be more attentive and have more self-discipline. More importantly, I had a clear goal to fight for. It was the suggestion form my uncle that helps me to hardened my heart to study overseas. I had deliberately chosen to lead the life I desire, for the life wisdom learning from my uncle could be considered as a shortcut to success.
【四段】年轻朋友的建议也有利好
Indeed, I have to concede that suggestions from peers might still their merits to some extent. An argument hold by some people is that people of the similar age have a lot in common such as growth environment or educational background, in this sense, their communication could be more convincing.
Furthermore, some people might argue that the experiences of past bear little relevance to today’s life. What I want to rebut，however，is that youngster’s understanding about life is far from mature compared with those from older friends, after all, older friends are more far-sighted and wise.
【尾段】再次亮明观点
In closing, I re-affirm my conviction that guidance and suggestions from mature friends expert a far more profound and beneficial effect on one’s action.
写作参考二:
Since any individual, whether young or old, will encounter various problems and troubles throughout the whole life, it is certainly necessary to consult others for suggestions and solutions. Nowadays many young people hold that advice from their peers is usually more valuable than that from people of older age, because people at the same age are more likely to understand their situation. However, as far as I am concerned, it is a wise move to listen to the older people’s suggestions, because rich experience and profound knowledge accumulated by older people will offer us a proper guidance in many ways, especially in the aspects of receiving education and hunting for a job.
First of all, consider the educational issue. Obviously, students are constantly faced with various upcoming problems and puzzles in the course of furthering their study. As for high school students, the would-be undergraduates, how to successful apply for an ideal university and choose a promosing major usually matters a lot. In order to unravel the above puzzels, they had better consult those people of older age who will give advices such as passing TOEFL with top score and participating various extracurricular activities. In fact, the above experience is exclusive to those who have undergone the whole process of applying for university. Also, as newcomers entering college or universities, the freshmen are usually confronted with various troubles while embarking on the brandnew campus life. To be specific, some students from disadvantaged families may be concerned about how to gain scholarship from school. The sophermores and junior students are likely to provide practical instructions instead of their classmates.
Furthermore, the same logic can apply to job-hunting. After leaving schools, graduates will enter the highly competitive job market. Due to the lack of knowledge of the real working environment, they are in great need of instructions and suggestions from senior employees. To be specific, senior employees can hold a interview training, in which students will be informed of how to dress up, how to write a resume and how to respond to the questions from interviewers. Also, the skills of communicating efficiently with the employers and the ability to get along well with co-workers will be imparted to potential employees. On the contrary, people at the same age with us are also still feel confused about how to seek an ideal job, thus reducing the value of the suggestion given by them.
Admittedly, the generation gap between us and people of older age may poses an obstruction to communication between them. However, the above claim is far from the truth. With the improvement of educational background on the part of the elder, they are able to guide yongsters in a more acceptable way and thus the gap between the younger and the older can be well bridged.
In conclusion, the advice from the elder is of greater value than that from the peers, especially when we meet problems in education and career.
写作参考三:
Whenever people have some difficult problems that seem to be insurmountable, tend to seek advice or suggestions from others around them. In my opinion, advice is better obtained from people who are older than you, such as parents, teachers and supervisors.
To start with, many people have the experience that a loving parent gives them much needed advice. For example, when children still young and immature, parents can help them choose suitable friends because they are better able to judge people"s personalities. Also as the first teachers who observe you on a daily basis, parents can easily discover children"s potential talents and give them appropriate advice for improvement.
Similarly, an effective teacher is a good source of advice for his or her students. With the increasing workload for students in modern education, it is natural that most of them have a number of academic problems, and no one is better than a qualified and dedicated teacher to help them solve them. More importantly, when students are confused about choosing jobs upon graduation, teachers can give proper guidance for their future career development.
Finally, for ordinary workers, a good supervisor can be relied on for advice. In most situations, a supervisor is older or much older than their subordinates and , therefore, has gathered more experience both in work and life. As a matter of fact, their suggestions can often help you develop your work skills. And as a senior leader, they can teach you how to manage interpersonal relationships.
In conclusion , older people" s advice , whether they you are your parents , teachers or supervisors , is more valuable because they are more knowledgeable , experienced and mature.
