托福备考-独立写作之比较对比型文章

浏览次数：1862    发布时间：2012-11-22

很多同学反映说看到比较对比型的文章很迷惑，不知道该如何下手。那么，今天我们将介绍这类文章的写法。

判断一道作文题是否属于“比较对比型”，可以看题目中是否包含下列词汇：compare and contrast, compare, advantages and disadvantages等。

 

例如：

1. It has been said, " Not everything that is learned is contained in books." Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?

2. A company has announced that it wishes to build a large factory near your community. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this new influence on your community. Do you support or oppose the factory? Explain your position.

3. The government has announced that it plans to build a new university. Some people think that your community would be a good place to locate the university. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of establishing a new university in your community. Use specific details in your discussion.

 

这类题目可采用以下模板：

1.整体式

所谓整体式，就是在第二段讨论比较对比所涉及的两个对象中的一个，而在第三段讨论两个对象中的另一个。如果作者的立场是“利大于弊”，可以采用下列模板：

第一段：引言

1.明确话题

 

2.给出主题陈述（段末）

第二段：弊端

第三段：有利之处之一

第四段：有利之处之二

第五段：兴利除弊

 

2.分点式

所谓分点式，就是在同一段中比较对比题目中所涉及的两个对象。比较对比的基础是二者在某一点上的异同。例如，在上述第一题中，可以采取下列提纲：

Thesis statement: Although books have their place in one's learning, there is no substitute for experience; indeed, it is experience that is ultimately the most important source of knowledge.

 

Para 2: Experience, rather than books, is more central to our quest for learning, especially with regard to professional expertise.

E.g. Knowledge needed to undertake the profession of a physician

 

Para 3. With respect to learning knowledge other than professional expertise, experience is also irreplaceable.

E.g. Learning about another culture
