針對2015年1月25日託福獨立寫作進行3道小範圍真題的預測，並給出相關思路及部分英文參考。重點是通過這3篇文章讓各位考生認識到獨立寫作的全篇結構和展開順序，同時也達到積累真題和思路的目的。希望大家能考出理想的成績!
真題一：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Teaching is harder than it was in the past.
解析：這是一道典型的「A>B」題型，筆者認為「現在教學比過去更難」比較好寫，即同意題目。具體思路如下：
理由一：現在教學很困難，因為家長的要求越來越多。不可否認，現在的家長希望自己的子女在各個方面的表現都能比同齡人更好，因此他們極其重視小孩的教育，這相應地增加了教學的壓力。( + 具體事例)但是，過去家長讓孩子上學最主要的目的就是希望他們考高分，然後畢業能找到好工作來養家餬口。換句話說，過去教學比較專注於成績。Teaching is extremely difficult today, because parents are expecting for more. It’s undeniable that parents nowadays wish that their kids can have a better performance in all respects than their peers do. Hence, parents are paying lots of attention to their kids』 education, which increases the pressure of teaching accordingly.( + 具體事例) However, the major goal of those parents in the past is that their children can get a high grade in school and thus are able to support the family by landing a good job. In other words, teaching in old days only concentrated on kids』 academic performance.
理由二：現在教學很困難，因為現在的小孩不好管理。隨著人口的急劇增長，很多國家都開始實施一些政策來控制人口數量。因此，獨生子女家庭越來越多，而被寵壞的小孩也越來越多，這使得小孩在學校學習的時候越來越不受老師管束，甚至阻礙教學的進行。( + 具體事例)然而，過去家庭的小孩都比較多，父母不會特意地去專寵某一個;而且，過去艱難的生活條件也讓孩子能更早地成熟和懂事。Teaching is significantly hard in contemporary society, since it’s not a simple task to manage children today. As the population increases greatly, many countries start enacting some policies to control the number of people. So, the family with only one child is expanding, and there are more and more spoiled kids, which makes it tough for teachers to supervise and to manage them in the school and even sets obstacles for teaching.( + 具體事例)But in the past, a family usually had several kids, and parents could not possibly dote on only one of them. What’s more, the poor living standard in old days would make children become mature and sensible earlier.
結尾段：雖然過去由於設備落後的原因，教學也不是那麼方便、簡單。但是，和「理由一」、「理由二」沒法比。因此，我認為現在教學更困難。In the final analysis, we can’t deny that sometimes teaching might be hard in the past, due to the undeveloped facilities. However, when compared with these explanation and details I just provided to support my position, the opposite opinion looks particularly lackluster. Consequently, I’m still convinced that teaching is harder today than it was in the past, for parents now have more requirement and children are too spoiled.
真題二：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? In order to succeed in doing a new job, the ability to adapt oneself to the new environment is more important than the excellent knowledge of this job.
解析：這也是一道典型的「A>B」題型，筆者認為「適應能力」和「知識」一樣重要，不分高低。具體思路如下：
理由一：適應能力對於做好一份新工作很重要，因為這能讓你迅速融入集體並與同事成為朋友。大家都知道，和老員工保持緊密的關係有助於從他們那兒獲得更多實用的建議和幫助，從而有助於在新工作裡迅速提升表現。( + 具體事例)The ability to adapt oneself to the new environment is extremely important for doing a new job successfully, because this capability enables you to fit into a group and become friends with your colleagues quickly. As we all know, having a close relationship with experienced employees can help you get more practical suggestion and support from them, which is beneficial for you improving your performance in a new job.( + 具體事例)
理由二：知識對於做好一份新工作也很重要，因為這能讓你在第一時間展開工作並快速給公司帶來效益。一般來說，為了讓新員工做好工作準備，企業通常都會以實習的方式對其進行培訓和鍛鍊。而一個專業知識比較強的員工既能快速上崗，又可以為老闆省去這方面的成本，這往往能獲得老闆的青睞。( + 具體事例)An excellent knowledge is also crucial for succeeding in a new job, since the knowledge can help you start your job and produce efficiency and profits for your firm in a short time. Generally, in order to prepare new workers for their jobs, companies usually will train and practice them by asking them to take an internship. However, a employee with an excellent knowledge of the job can not only start his or her job right when getting accepted, but also can save the cost of training for the boss, which can help him or her earn the boss’s favor.( + 具體事例)
結尾段：我不同意題目。對於做好一份新工作來講，「適應能力」還是「知識」重要，這取決於工作的性質。具體來講，對於航天領域的員工來說，良好的專業知識更重要，因為他們所從事的工作和數學、天文、物理等學科息息相關;對於銷售員來說，較強的適應能力更重要，因為他們得經常出差，然後面對不同氣候、飲食，和文化差異帶來的挑戰。Judging from the above evidence offered, I can hardly agree that in order to succeed in doing a new job, the ability to adapt oneself to the new environment is more important than the excellent knowledge of this job. It depends on the job category whether the ability of adapting to the new circumstance or the excellent knowledge is more significant. To be specific, for those who work in the field of spaceflight, an excellent knowledge of the job is more important, in that what they do is closely associated with subjects like Math, Astronomy, and Physics; for salesmen, a strong ability of adapting to the new environment is of much significance, because they have to go on business trips frequently and face those challenges brought from different climates, eating habits, and cultures.
真題三：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is more important for the government to spend money on new buildings than to preserve historic or traditional buildings and homes.
解析：還是一道典型的「A>B」題型，筆者認為「保護古舊建築」更重要。具體思路如下：
理由一：保護「古舊建築」很重要，因為這有助於人們銘記國家的歷史和傳統。眾所周知，一個國家的的歷史和傳統是該民族核心價值觀念的體現，而對於核心價值觀念的保護和傳承則勢在必行。( + 具體事例)It’s extremely important to protect historic or traditional buildings and homes, because this action can help people remember the history and tradition of their countries. As we all know, the core values of a nation can be reflected by its history and tradition, and the preservation and inheritance of such core values are of great significance.( + 具體事例)
理由二：保護「古舊建築」很重要，因為這有助於旅遊業的發展。不可否認的是，旅遊業，作為當今支柱產業之一，有助於推動國家經濟的發展。( + 具體事例)It’s crucial to preserve those historic or traditional buildings, since protecting them can promote the development of tourism. One indisputable fact is that tourism, as a pillar industry, greatly contributes to boosting a country’s economy.( + 具體事例)
結尾段：雖然「建新房子」能美化城市，但是和「理由一」、「理由二」沒法比。因此，我認為「古舊建築」更重要。In the final analysis, we can’t deny that building new houses might produce some advantages, like beautifying the image of cities. However, when compared with these explanation and details I just provided to support my position, the opposite opinion looks particularly lackluster. Consequently, I’m still convinced that preserving historic or traditional buildings is much more important, for these construction can help to protect the core values of a country and to accelerate the economy.
