为了准备留学申请，所以积累了一些失败经验，现在和大家分享一下，当然还会放一些复习资料

又因为作者现在状况是最近一次托福98分，阅读30，听力27，口语19，写作22，最高分曾有过听力29,写作23，所以四门中口语和写作是弱项，目前博客先集中于这两门的记录，之后再补上听力部分练习方法。

写作题型

新托福写作分为：综合写作（几分钟阅读一篇文章，听一篇两分多钟的lecture，然后20分钟写200多字）、学术写作（十分钟看题和写作100多字），去除了独立写作，所以其实写作自由度降低了，更难拿高分了。

写作要怎么练习呢？敲字呗，多练多背理论上就更高，但是素材很重要，所以我现在就是要收集高分素材，然后多敲敲。

参考网站，小站托福，但可能标答比较一般？：https://top.zhan.com/toefl/write/review-2447-1-1.html?article_id=2447

学术写作一篇例子：

Discuss the question: Is advertising just a way of manipulating people to but things they do not need, or is it an important source of information that helps them make informed consumer decisions?

Karen: I don't think most people consider ads to be valuable. I read that in just one year, from 2018 to 2019, the number of computers, tablets and mobile phones using ad blockers increase from 142 million to 615 million.

Brad: People can find out a lot about products from advertising. There's plenty of evidence that people usually begin the process of making a big purchase by looking at ads and reviews.

Answer:

While I can see Karen's point that some people regard advertising useless and even distracting, I agree with Brad's perspective that advertising presents more valuable and significant information. (main argument) As mentioned by Brad, consumers can know a wide range of descriptions about product from advertising. (argument 1)

Advertisements give a detailed explanation about a product's outlook, features and instructions; however, such a wide range of information will not be approachable when people block advertisements.

Apart from what Bard has raised, I add that people can even have the access to negative reviews of advertising. (argument 2)

Demerits of a product will be mentioned in the reviews of advertising, such as poor battery performance, slow delivery or high frequency maintenance, all of which help consumers arrive at informed decisions; On the contrary, well-considered decisions may not be reached without advertising.

Therefore, advertising acts as an essential and indispensable source of information for potential buyers.(conclusion)

综合写作例子

The reading passage contends that airships could become popular again because of their advantages over airplanes and helicopters. However, the listening material completely refutes the reading passage . It points out that airships are not likely to be used in the future. First, the reading passage believes that airships have the advantage of vertical life which can save fuel. In contrast, the listening passage holds that although airships can save fuel, they need special lifting gases such as hydrogen and helium, which will cause problems because hydrogen catches fire easily, which is the reason of many airships accidents in the past. Helium is safer but it’s difficult to obtain and expensive and it doesn’t provide as much lifting power as hydrogen. Second, the reading passage maintains that another advantage is that they can be used in hard-to-reach locations because of the ability to lift off and land vertically and they also have the ability to carry heavy loads. Nevertheless, the speaker in the listening says that using airships for picking up loads has its challenges. Airships should be very steady to pick up loads such as logs in the forest, but airships are large and light like balloons and difficult to keep steady in windy conditions. A strong wind can blow the airship and damage it. Third, the author, in the reading passage, thinks that airships can replace satellites because they can rise high and stay there without refueling for a long time. However, the lecturer argues that they can’t replace satellites because they can only rise to the height about 14 kilometers above the surface. On the other hand, there are very strong winds at that height, so airships have to spend a lot of fuel to resist those winds and stay in one place to do the telecommunications or surveying task. Then they will use up the fuel soon and need to refuel.
