[IBT作文] 新托福作文(已批注)

新托福作文(已批注)

TOPIC:人类对地球是DAMAGE多点还是MAKE IT A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE 多点?



As an old saying goes: every coin has two sides. Apparently, there is an element of truth about this proverb. Since being occupied by human beings, the Earth changes a lot. Considering the contribution human beings make to the earth, such as some meaningful inventions like electricity, Internet and so on, sums of people hold the opinion that it is our human beings that make the Earth a better place to live, Whereas the opponents think that human activities have made the planet worse and worse. Since these two opinions are far cry from each other and it is hard for me to sit on the fence, it seems that I am the supporter of the latter one. The reasons why I made this decision is as follows.
    To begin with, in the ancient times, Earth endured the war and fight between people in different areas. Stepped into the stone age, the war and fight among people who struggle for food and land had given raise to plenty of suffers like the damage of the land, the change of the animal diversification and the decrease of the trees and grasses. Therefore, it seems that we humans did numbers of bad things on our planet.
    And then, it is disturbing to say that we really did a bad job even by the modern standards. Stronger and stronger as our humans are, we never failed to harm our home, we polluted the air through the use of cars and the working of the factories, we broken the food chain by killing the rare animals and eating the bushmeat, we even did not realized that the resources have already been over-exploited.  From this point, we cannot say we are good hosts to the Earth.
    Finally, the Earth is now sacrificing for our future development. There is no deny that human beings have managed to invent more resources for surviving, however, we never catch a glimpse on what we did to the Earth. For instance, we succeed in finding the nuclear energy, meanwhile, sarcastically say, we also did a good job in leaving lots of damaging pollution on the earth.
    From what has been discussed above, by supporting the latter idea, I do not mean to deny human's contributing to the Earth. However, since now, it seems that our negative effect on the Earth is far outweigh to the positive one. Although this phenomenon has caused wide public concern in many places of the world over the passed decades, it must be admitted that, the damaging we caused to the Earth is lasted since hundreds of years ago and what I am doing now is keeping my fingers crossed to pray that it is not that late for us to redeeming.

回复 #1 ZOE.COOPER 的帖子

绿色是我的建议;
红色是表达失当的地方~


As an old saying goes: every coin has two sides.(这句有点。。。老套了吧) Apparently, there is an element of truth (搭配不当) about this proverb. Since being occupied by human beings, the Earth changed a lot.(第一,这句话有点古怪,因为在没有人之前地球也changed了很多;第二,如果一定要这样说,把since放到句末,这样合乎语言习惯) Considering the contributions human beings make(=>made) to the earth, such as some(去掉) meaningful(=>valuable) inventions like electricity, Internet and so on (不推荐这样的列举未尽的写法。我的外教说过,这样写她会认为是举不出例子了。当然你的列举很长的时候除外), sums of(去掉。如果想说部分人的话用a number of 就可以了。不过没有必要:))) people hold the opinion that it is our(去掉) human beings that make(=>made) the Earth a better place to live. Whereas the opponents think that human activities have made the planet(指代不明。我知道你这里指earth,但是不要这样用) (+ environment或者你想说明的具体东西。这里definitely少东西)worse and worse. Since these two opinions are far cry from(汗:P这个用法我不认识呢。不过lz你sure这是对的话,go ahead~) each other and it is hard for me to sit on the fence, it seems that I am the supporter of the latter one(=>I am on the latter side). The reasons why I made this decision is(=>are) as follows.

我的感觉哈,读这段开始的时候,我以为你支持前面的观点。可读完的时候我发现你支持的是latter one。。这样好不好,你开门见山提你的观点,然后说反方观点,然后用几句话把这个反方给否掉。其实我认为,写toefl作文没有必要搞观点对立的写法,twe考察的就是遣词造句的功力,而且对词汇的要求也很一般。所以,一定要用你最擅长的表达把每个句子说明白,千万不要有歧义和指代不明的情况出现。如果你能做到每个句子都使用不同的句式,就算词汇不大,也必然是高分。我就是这么做的,当年倒是笔试,我前面句子写得太细致以至于第三个论点段的时候没有时间了,完全是在绕第二段的话轴,而且结尾只有一句话,就是把三个分述段的内容总结了一下,字数也不够,一样是5.5。所以,一定一定一定要注意句子的构造!!!!

    To begin with, in the ancient times(这个词指的时间有点远,用in history怎么样), Earth endured the war and fight(=>wars and fights) between people(如果用people就用among;如果用between就要斟酌一下了。而且可以影响到地球的战争一般不是以person(因为person是people的单数)为单位进行的,可以考虑用race。people作集合名字只有人民的意思。) in different areas(怪). Stepped into the stone age(踏入石器时代?) , the wars and fights among people who struggled for food and land had given raise to plenty of suffers(1。搭配不当2。少成分) like the damage of the land(=>不好意思,我只是觉得这里说得不地道,但是一时也想不出来怎么改), the change of the animal diversification(=>distinction of plants and animales) and the decrease of the trees and grasses(=>deforestation). Therefore, it seems that we humans did numbers of(=>来个严重点的:numerous) bad things on our planet.

    And then(1.不要用and做发语词;2.=>secondly就好), it is disturbing to say that we really did a bad job even by the modern standards( We humans are responsible to ....). Stronger and stronger as our humans are, we never(绝对不要用绝对的词汇.其实这里你可以用一个倒装句的) failed to harm our home(home指家=>Earth). We polluted the air through the use of cars and the working of the factories(=> by means of releasing wastes of automobiles and factroies), we(去掉,这里是排比) break the food chain(=>food chains) by killing the rare animals and eating the bushmeat(这个表达不好), we even(=>and) did not realized that the (natrual) resources have already been over-exploited(Really?)注:一个句子只能有一个主语和一个谓语,所以我把你这里改成排比。你自己再斟酌一下动宾搭配.  From(=>To) this point, we cannot say we are good hosts(感觉不当,我觉得host是寄主。也可能记错了 ) to the Earth.


    Finally, the Earth is now sacrificing for our future development(=>不要用sacrifice这个词。不是这个意思。试试:our development is on(还是in?) the cost of harming the environment). There is no denying that human beings have managed to invent more (+kind of) resources for surviving(不舒服
), however, we never(不要绝对词汇) catch a glimpse on what we did to the Earth(不敢苟同。还有那么多的环保组织呢~). For instance(我觉得可以不用这个for instance,直接写就好), we succeed in finding the nuclear energy, meanwhile, sarcastically (我不是很sure这个词有没有问题。但是我见到的ironicly比较多) say(去掉), we also did a good job(=>汗,用不着这么讽刺吧。。有点不舒服呢) in leaving lots of damaging(=>deadly) pollution on the earth(去掉).

我觉得还是不要写得太偏激的好。人确实对自然做出了巨大的破坏,但是总还是有人倾向于自然保护的。我觉得在写作的时候保持一个中庸的态度比较好。注意理解这里的中庸--不要全盘否定,也不要全盘赞扬。就算是toefl一边倒式的论述,也绝不能把一件事说死。道理很简单,这样不服人。

    From what has been discussed above, by supporting the latter idea, I do not mean to deny human's contributing(=>contribution) to the Earth. However, since now, it seems that our negative effects on(=> the negative effects we brought to) the Earth is far outweigh to the(=>overweight) positive ones. Although this phenomenon has caused wide public concerns in many places of(=>over) the world over(去掉) the passed decades, it must be admitted that the damaging(=>damage) we caused to the Earth is(=>has) lasted since(=>for) hundreds of years ago(去掉) and what I am doing now is keeping my fingers crossed to pray that it is not that late for us to redeeming(删掉).


lz的观点表述还是很明确的。只是要注意:
1。不要写俚语。(也可能你用的是谚语我老土嘿嘿~)
2。千万,千万不要用绝对的词汇。
3。句式再多变一些。你好像没用过倒装。我建议你把这篇文章再重写一遍。不要限时。用上你所有见过的句型。
4。没有必要过多地表述的看法。当成一个客观的事来说比较好。
5。结尾不用写这么多。我写一般就是两句话。一句用一个not only but also把三个论点连起来;另一句写日后我们要怎样做。(实战的时候我连第二句都没写。。)就可以了。把省下来的时间放到前面的论述段,那里才是重点。(开头也一样,能省就省,在中间出彩。) 结尾这个东西,只要有就可以了
6。对于since...,其实怎么说都无所谓,我只是通常把它放在后面,所以下午的时候一激动就给你改了。嘿嘿不好意思。
7。至于an element of truth,我只是觉得放在你放的那个地方很别扭,具体为什么我说不出来。在看了你的例句之后回去重读仍然别扭~~
8。一定用自己可以很好使用的词。和汉语一样,每个词都有自己独特的意思。不是近义词都可以混用的。另外个人意见,我不是很欣赏词组的使用--每个词组都有一个精确的动词可以对应--我总觉得词组不够formal(我注意i到你用了很多词组)。
9。host这个词啊我也说不好了,你问问别人,如果搞不准的话就不要用,一旦错了的话是有反面影响的。其他类似咬不准的词同样处理。
10。不好意思这么晚才给你改。今晚一直在写一个明早交的实验报告~~困了。晚安。你加油啊~~

thanks ~
我先把你改了给研究一下哈~

dotty辛苦了!赞一个!

TOP

TO DOTTY:
  首先要谢谢你给了我这么多ADVICES~
  但是有几点我想跟你讨论下~~~~
1。关与SINCE BEING OCCUPIED BY HUMAN BEINGS, THE EARTH CHANGED A LOT这句话,你的第一个意见我接受,但是之前有看到过哪个贴说ETS比较喜欢以ED或者是ING开头的句子~我觉得你说要把SINCE放到后面是比较符合习惯~但是我们考人家的考试是不是就应该按照人家的喜好来走呢?
2。关于AN ELEMENT OF TRUTH这里,你说搭配不当~之前我是知道AN ELEMENT OF 后面是接人物情绪或者是事物的性质,但是AN ELEMENT OF TRUTH是我在NEW CONCEPT ENGLISH3上面看到的。原文是这样的:MOST OF US HAVE FORMED AN UNREALISTIC PICTURE OF LIFE ON A DESERT ISLAND。 WE SOMETIMES IMAGINE A DESERT ISLAND TO BE A SORT OF PARADISE WHERE THE SUN ALWAYS SHINES。LIFE THERE IS SIMPLE AND GOOD。RIPE FRUIT FALLS FROM THE TREES AND YOU NEVER HAVE TO WORK。THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PICTURE IS QUITE THE OPPOSITE。LIFE ON A DESERT ISLAND IS WRETCHED。PERHAPS THERE IS AN ELEMENT OF TRUTH IN BOTH THESE PICTURES,BUT FEW OF UW HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO FIND OUT。不知道你说搭配不当是不是因为这里是指有部分可能是对的而我写的那个PROVERB根本就是对的??????(嘻嘻。。。)
3。关于HOST这个词~我现在手头上只有DR。EYE就查了下~~~~~
HOST:1。寄主(你没有记错哦~)
       2。主人,东道主(用这个说人类是地球的主人可以吗?)
       (其它的解释都搭不上边我就不写了。。。。。。)

FINALLY,我觉得你对我那个开头的建议真的是很棒~~~~~~采纳了~~~~~看来菜鸟我还要多学习啊~~~~~嘻嘻~~~~~~
还请大侠多多指点~~~~~AND SORRY FOR TAKING YOU SO MUCH TIME~~~~


   BEST WISHES~
   COOPER.

这里有很多人,总说给人改作文实际上自己的英文水平就很低。他们只能,也只是在回很多没有价值的帖子以便快速的升级,我很奇怪这个学习的论坛里的小官有什么可当的呢?我来太傻只有1个月的时间,而同时我也一直在疑惑和愤怒!
今天,让我看到了希望,我有幸见识到了一个没有无聊的朋友圈子,没有无聊的口号,只是在默默为别人很认真地修改作文的朋友。dotty,你是好样的!加油!

看了这句话,让我想起来上次追梦者在版服上面提到他的一个朋友BS论坛上面的人,认为论坛上面的人其实都是活在自己阴暗的角落。

通过LS的话,想必你对论坛的看法也和这个朋友有大径相同的地方。

偶想说几句自己对论坛的看法。3年以前,偶刚来TS的时候,目的只有一个-下载免费的资料;确实挖到很多宝贝,同时也潜水2年多-一个帖子也没有发过。到前一段时间考IBT的时候,在TS遇到一个板油-huntersow,这个ID由于某些原因,已经在TS消失了。他给了我很大的启示:原来也有人在虚拟世界这么热心。当然,人都是有私心的,在虚拟世界也一样,头衔、积分,奉承的话,对某些人来说也是很重要的。但是某些人当小官、版主确实是真心十意的帮助别人,讨论、交流。这样的人,能在TS上面找出好几个。

也许,有时候会见到某些人发灌水帖,或者认为有些回帖没有任何价值,那就错了。每个人的能力有限,虽然TS上面的牛人很多,但是,当人尽过力去帮别人的时候,就算几个字,他人也没有资格去评论或者指责。虽然某些修改作文的人水平实在不咋嘀,但是,这是纯粹的交流,被改作文的人也可以提出异议,论坛的交流功能也就是这样体现出来的。

PS, 讨论别人作文水平好坏,还不如自己动手帮助一下有需要的板油:)

引用:
Since being occupied by human beings, the Earth changes a lot.


这句话确实很怪。DOTTY说了原因。偶就试着改一下:The Earth has been changed a lot by human beings' activities.
引用:
WE SOMETIMES IMAGINE A DESERT ISLAND TO BE A SORT OF PARADISE WHERE THE SUN ALWAYS SHINES....................PERHAPS THERE IS AN ELEMENT OF TRUTH IN BOTH THESE PICTURES,BUT FEW OF UW HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO FIND OUT。
As an old saying goes: every coin has two sides. Apparently, there is an element of truth about this proverb. Since being occupied by human beings, the Earth changes a lot.
只能说LZ没有理解蓝色这句话的意思,请仔细连贯起看看打了下划线的部分-任何一种imagination都是可能存在的,只是凭当时是什么心情了。就an element of本身来解释,只是程度性的表达:一点,稍许。
而这句话放在你自己的话里(红色),就解释不通了。every coin has two sides这个应该是公认的吧?怎么会用there is an element of truth 来修饰呢?

引用:

From this point, we cannot say we are good hosts to the Earth.
确实不对。

应该是中式英语。

可以改为:builders/modifiers

Were you in it for that mom struggling with cancer while raising her kids?

Were you in it for that young boy and his mom surviving on the minimum wage?

Were you in it for all the people in this country who feel invisible?
