Several years ago, money is(was) still a forbidden zone for children. Admittedly, as a tradition last several centuries, it must have plenty of reasons. When I was young, my parents warned me not to touch money anytime. They thought money is too attractive and I was too young to control myself. As a result, I knew anything about the money until I was 10 years old. Though kids and even teenagers are less controlled, that won’t be a matter if parents or teachers teach them in the collect way. Instead, developing a good habit of spending money in a young age will affect all his life. In other words, as long as a child can spend money regularly, he can prevent any other temptations.(这句才是你这个段落真正的主题句,为什么不放到开头呢?)
具体 • Third, I want to recommend the Sherlock and Me, a Film about detection, which is fascinating and enhance the capacity of people‘s rational thought. Take a Film clips for example, detective Holmes found the prisoner to remain at the scene of the word in the wall… Detective films can enhance the capacity of people’s rationality.

First of all, parenting influence people’s eating habits a lot. When people are young, most of them must spend a lot of time to live with their parents. So whatever things, they also watch and think their parent’s behaviors or must do something what is their parents think is right. Then, they remember and let that became themselves habits naturally no matter that habits are good or bad. Therefore, eating habits is depending parenting(can be affected by the parents).
“论证和题目结合不紧密,不是论据无关,而是作者没有表现这种合理的关系在哪里。”这种错误不是一个连接词的问题,而是一句话或者一句解释的问题。“论证和题目结合不紧密,不是论据无关,而是作者没有表现这种合理的关系在哪里。”这种错误不是一个连接词的问题,而是一句话或者一句解释的问题。
个人案例: • 本人之前写过一篇托福作文题:Television advertizing directed toward young children (aged two to five) should not be allowed. Use specific reasons and details to explain it.
The first reason that children should not be exposed to TV advertizing is that little kids with crystal innocence might be attainted(topic sentence). Being covered with vivid and entertaining motions, the primary aim of TV advertisements is to sell its products. Children who haven’t entered the complicate world are not supposed to be effected by the profits-oriented world of adults.
可以看到我的中心句是:小孩子们不应该接触一些电视广告,因为未然他们纯洁的心灵。紧接着我就说广告的初始目的就是为了买东西,没有涉世的小孩子们不应该为成人的只追求利益的世界所影响。这样我的论据就和段落topic sentence有些脱节,如果有下划线的句子改成下面的句子就会好一些:
Television advertisement presents children a profit-oriented world,because the primary purpose of commercials is to use all means to sell its products. Exaggerating and faking propagandas on television may perform as a hidden education for children, and thus exert harmful effects on them. • 这样一来我就解释了为什么小孩子看电视广告心灵会被玷污的一个原因。
Writer’s anxiety • 每个人都可能遇到的情况,有一些解决方法很好。 • 先放松一下自己。 • 和别人讨论题目。 • 因此建议考生可以和同考的战友一起讨论题目,可以开阔思路。
当学生在练习时完全对某一个题目没有思路了,或者写作的过程中突然卡壳了,有如下建议:当学生在练习时完全对某一个题目没有思路了,或者写作的过程中突然卡壳了,有如下建议: • 伸懒腰,深呼吸,做一些小的运动。 • 我的方法是躺倒床上继续想题目,而不是对着白白的WORD文档 发呆。 • 另外就是咨询老师,同学,课本等等。
另外还有一种方法就是 “TRUST YOUR GUSH!”(导师Tom Romano 在他的书Crafting Authentic Voice中提到 )--- 就是想到什么就写什么。我觉得这个方法对英语为第二外语的中国学生来说,试图不通过翻译直接用英文表达自己的想法,是个很好的练习! 因为在练习时不管你的文章 “However poorly worded”, 却是最接近你最初的想法的(你可以事后做修改)。
People who are willing to dabble in new areas have a larger chance to succeed. OR Parents are closest to their children and always have faith in them. / and they can encourage their children to succeed.
