　　(附解题思路)

　　1 The rules that the whole society today expects young people to follow and obey are too strict.

　　不同意，采取拆分举例法

　　不许年轻人饮酒，因饮酒会闯祸/误事;

　　不许年轻人驾车，因糊涂驾车会酿成事故;

　　不许年轻人全职工作，因全职工作会耽误学业;

　　2 The most important characteristic of a successful politician or leader is good communication skills.

　　不同意，采取另立因果法，即有更重要的特质

　　责任感，勇于承担，对社会贡献会更大;

　　诚实，大家会信赖，能找到真正公民的需求，做出实际的价值;

　　诚然，沟通也很重要，但是不能说是最重要的事情;

　　3 Young people today are more likely to help others than they were in the past.

　　同意，采取要素拆分

　　现在年轻人帮人的意愿更强;

　　现在年轻人帮人的能力更强;

　　诚然，现在人也会面临很多压力，但是年轻人很多时候在细小的事物上帮忙;

　　4 It is better for colleagues or classmates to communicate in person than through emails in order to do a project.

　　邮件沟通比较好，采取利弊分析

　　邮件表达更明确;

　　邮件记录更清楚;

　　当面沟通更充分，但是细节容易遗忘;

　　5 Young people today are less dependent on their parents for making decisions than they were in the past.

　　减少图书馆费用

　　人们使用图书馆的频率越来越低;

　　图书馆每年需求的费用越来越少;

　　诚然，减少交通/警务费用也是一个选择;但是这些计划都不可行：交通越来越堵;恐怖事件越来越多;

　　7 Taking children to field trips (for example, to a museum) is a better way of education than learning at school in a classroom.

　　Classroom好，采用利弊法

　　技术可以更有效的组织课堂，野外会浪费时间;

　　教室的教学更加的安全;外面有很多不可控的因素;

　　诚然有种声音，外面教学更生动;现在的技术已然非常成熟

　　8 Movies and television have more negative effects than positive effects on the behaviors of young people.

　　消极影响多，采用利弊法

　　年轻人会变懒;

　　年轻人学一些坏习惯;

　　诚然，也会有很多积极意义，比如能让人开心;但是，对于行为的影响还是消极的多;

　　9 People spend too much money on their pets even though there can other good ways to spend money.

　　不同意，采取直接联系法

　　宠物们满足了老人的心理需求;

　　宠物们给人们带来了很多欢乐;

　　诚然，人们还有许多花钱的办法，但是宠物上花的钱也是恰当的;

　　10 People who cannot accept criticism from others will not be successful at working in a group.

　　导致合作的效率偏低;

　　诚然有的意见很尖锐;但是如果人们能好好的理解和接受，那么成功就会很容易;

　　11 It is important for government to provide money for beautiful things and not just for practical things.

　　不同意;practical things 更重要

　　交通需要钱;

　　环境保护也需要钱;

　　诚然，美妙的事情也需要投资;但是投资在实用的事情上更重要;

　　12 The Internet is as important as other service, such as building roads, so government should make the Internet access to all the citizens at no cost.

　　同意，采用利弊分析

　　这样可以鼓励人们在这个领域的创新;

　　这样可以给个人和企业减负;

　　诚然，这样会加重负担，但是长远来看，政府会得到汇报;

　　13 It is better to finish a project completely and then do another project than do two or more projects at the same time.

　　几个项目同时进行

　　节省成本;

　　缩短工期;

　　诚然，有人会认为会忙中出错，但是如果合理安排就不会有问题;

　　14 Being creative,rather than planning carefully more often results in the best solution of a problem.

　　Planning好

　　可以避免错误;

　　可以有足够的时间思考，找到最佳的方案;

　　Creative看起来也不错，但是更多是追求的是效果，creative的风险是不可预期;

　　15 People should know about events happening around the world even if they have little influence on their daily lives.

　　是的

　　可以提供很多话题;

　　可以对我们的生活提供借鉴;

　　诚然，事情有点遥远;但是没准我们对我们的将来有用;

　　a. joining a sports team;b. participating in community activities;c. traveling.

　　体育运动利弊

　　对学生而言更省钱;

　　诚然，社区活动和旅游都是不错的选择;但是社区活动成员复杂，旅游的话又太贵;

　　18 When you have a friend for a long time, whether you will continue the friendship even he or she does something you do not like.

　　会继续

　　这可能有误会;

　　我们自己要调整;

　　诚然，可能会觉得失望，但是朋友之间最重要的是理解和包容;

　　<试题回顾>

　　A group will be more helped by a person who is willing to do things that other group members want than a person who strongly insists on things that are different from what other members want.

　　<解题思路>

　　这是一题 “同意反对型” 试题，采取“同意”的立场，解题思路是：

　　1- 有利于发挥团队最大的力量，从而实现组织的目标。

　　2- 别人要求自己做的事情可能更有利于组织的长期发展，一味坚持自己的立场会“一叶障目”。

　　3- (转折段)如果总是按照别人的要求来做事情，可能导致没有办法发挥自己的专长，但这个问题可以通过和小组其他成员的沟通来解决。

　　<画外音>

　　细心的小伙伴可能发现：托福写作越来越多地开始使用新试题，这不仅给预测带来了挑战，而且对准备参加考试的学生来说，平添了不少难度。这里，给大家几个小贴士：

　　1. 不要纠结去预测哪几道具体的题目，大致了解托福独立写作的常考话题类型，并且熟悉相关话题中，大概会用到哪些素材;

　　2. 遇到新题，一定要使用自己熟悉的、且反复操练的“万能理由”，如2/18考试中的第一理由：团队合作，是很多“生活方式类”话题的“万能理由”;

　　3. 文章不一定都要采用“一边倒结构”，“问题解决法”的“让步转折结构”(转折段的写作)也是非常常用、且比较容易上手的文章结构。
