“錢不是萬(wàn)能的，但是沒(méi)有錢是萬(wàn)萬(wàn)不能的”，關(guān)于“錢”的獨(dú)立寫作同學(xué)們都會(huì)如何應(yīng)對(duì)呢?不妨先來(lái)看看出國(guó)留學(xué)網(wǎng)托福欄目為大家整理的關(guān)于話題“錢”的托福獨(dú)立寫作方法吧!
關(guān)于話題“錢”的托福獨(dú)立寫作方法
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:
Most business people are motivated only by the desire of money.
怎么樣，看完啥感覺(jué)?是不是覺(jué)得題目很弱智?這TM還用說(shuō)嗎?!
不是為了錢難道是為了“為人民服務(wù)”?!
可是……
如果這么寫，那說(shuō)好的300字底線怎么湊呢….
所以，商人們肯定不能只為了錢，一定不是!就是為了我的作文也不能是!那，他們還能為了啥?剛才不是說(shuō)了嗎，為人民服務(wù)啊!
比如，做!慈!善!
其實(shí)一說(shuō)到慈善這個(gè)話題，我就兩眼放光。不是我想做慈善，而是因?yàn)椋何医^逼就應(yīng)該是慈善家應(yīng)該重點(diǎn)照顧的對(duì)象有木有!可TM腫么活了快三十年，慈善家老爺們也沒(méi)了解到我的存在呢?這不科學(xué)!
我苦思冥想，一定是慈善家的數(shù)量太少了，還沒(méi)照顧到我。我暗暗發(fā)誓，一定要增加慈善家的數(shù)量!古人有云：要想讓更多的人做一件事，就得先整明白人們?yōu)樯稌?huì)做整件事!
當(dāng)然,“古人”是我的藝名O(∩_∩)O
研究來(lái)研究去，發(fā)現(xiàn)慈善家做慈善的原因也是五花八門，除了就是為了慈善而慈善之外，還有有什么炒作說(shuō)、避稅說(shuō)等等。不過(guò)在我苦(sui)心(bian)鉆(kan)研(kan)的過(guò)程中, 還真發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)特別適合寫到我們托福寫作中的人物——安德魯·卡內(nèi)基(Andrew Carnegie)，美國(guó)的鋼鐵大王，一個(gè)超級(jí)大土豪!
老卡的一生可謂是屌絲逆襲。8歲的時(shí)候因?yàn)樵谟?guó)實(shí)在混不下去了，所以舉家遷往美國(guó)。到了美國(guó)之后，老卡就和所有書(shū)里的成功故事里的主角一樣，通過(guò)勤奮努力什么的，成為了鋼鐵大王，走向了人生巔峰，開(kāi)起土豪捐款模式。在他人生的最后18年，老卡總共捐出了3.5億美元。要知道這可是在20世紀(jì)初呀，那時(shí)候的3.5億美元，相當(dāng)于今天的786億美元!實(shí)際上老卡在生前把自己90%的財(cái)富都通通捐了出去!
好人呀!
那老卡為何如此瘋狂的捐款呢?因?yàn)槔峡ㄔ谌松淖詈?0年認(rèn)識(shí)到，一個(gè)人有再多的錢,也不會(huì)幸福(我覺(jué)得也是，1億和10億有啥區(qū)別，都是花不完呀花不完!)，還不如拿去幫助別人獲得快樂(lè)(我怎么就沒(méi)遇見(jiàn)這樣的大好人!!!)。這不妥妥的說(shuō)明了有的商人不僅僅是為錢驅(qū)動(dòng)，更為了造福社會(huì)么!那把老卡的故事也到剛才的作文題目里，一個(gè)段子不就妥妥的有了么?
啥玩意?不會(huì)寫?你啥都會(huì)寫你要我干嘛?!下面一起來(lái)看卡耐基的段子!
Andrew Carnegie，a Scottish-American industrialist who led the enormous expansion of the American steel industry in the late 19th century，built a leadership role as a philanthropist for the United States and the British Empire. In his last years of life, public attention was turned from the shrewd business acumen which had enabled Carnegie to accumulate such a fortune,to the public-spirited way in which he devoted himself to utilizing it on philanthropic projects. During the last 18 years of his life, he gave away to charities, foundations, and universities about $350 million – almost 90 percent of his fortune.
咱們先來(lái)一起學(xué)習(xí)一下里面好用的語(yǔ)言和句型，然后再把段子套進(jìn)題目里，實(shí)戰(zhàn)一把。
Andrew Carnegie，a Scottish-American industrialist who led the enormous expansion of the American steel industry in the late 19th century，built a leadership role as a philanthropist for the United States and the British Empire.
enormous expansion是巨大的擴(kuò)張，這個(gè)短語(yǔ)還是很容易寫到我們的托福作文里的。
比如在這道題：
Agree or disagree：Young people today are less dependent on their parents than in the past.
這里我們就可以說(shuō)，大學(xué)的擴(kuò)張?jiān)斐删蜆I(yè)率下降，所以現(xiàn)在的年輕人剛畢業(yè)都找不到工作，不靠父母靠誰(shuí)?
The enormous expansion of universities gives rise to the decline of employment rate.
Build a leadership role as…可以翻譯成作為某種身份樹(shù)立了領(lǐng)袖形象。當(dāng)我們想夸一個(gè)人牛逼的時(shí)候，都可以用到這個(gè)句型。比如在這道題里
Agree or disagree：Professional athletes, such as football and basketball players, do not deserve the high salaries that they are paid.
大家是否會(huì)想到心中的體育明星?人家怎么就不值這么多錢?我反正覺(jué)得值。這時(shí)候咱們就可以用上這樣的句型啦!克里斯蒂亞諾·羅納爾多,全世界最好的足球運(yùn)動(dòng)員之一，作為球員為年輕運(yùn)動(dòng)員扮演樹(shù)立了領(lǐng)袖形象。
Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the best football players around the world, builds a leadership role as a football star for all the young players.
In his last years of life, public attention was turned from the shrewd business acumen which had enabled Carnegie to accumulate such a fortune, to the public-spirited way in which he devoted himself to utilizing it on philanthropic projects.
shrewd adj. 精明的
acumen n. 聰明
Public attention was turned from AAA to BBB 公眾的注意力被從AAA轉(zhuǎn)移到BBB
這個(gè)句型還是很不錯(cuò)的，可以用在一些描寫變化的題目中。尤其適合用在題目開(kāi)頭，做背景鋪墊之用。拿這道題舉個(gè)例子。
Agree or disagree：To increase economic growth, the government should ignore the environmental concerns.
這道題開(kāi)頭咱們就可以說(shuō)，環(huán)境污染日益加重，公眾的注意力從經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展轉(zhuǎn)移到了保護(hù)環(huán)境上，政府你丫還敢無(wú)視環(huán)境去發(fā)展經(jīng)濟(jì)?
With the increasingly serious environmental problems, public attention is turned from economic growth to environmental protection.
During the last 18 years of his life, he gave away to charities, foundations, and universities about $350 million –almost 90 percent of his fortune.
在最后就是列舉一些老卡慈善方面的細(xì)節(jié)。托福寫作有細(xì)節(jié)還是非常重要的，這是ETS在托福獨(dú)立寫作評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)里明確要求的!不信你看，獨(dú)立寫作的評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)里就有這么一條。細(xì)節(jié)!details!
Is well organized and well developed, using clearly appropriate explanations, exemplifications, and/ordetails.
上面的段子和句型學(xué)習(xí)完之后，可以思考一下如何把它套用在今天一開(kāi)始就拋出的題目里，學(xué)以致用!
