9.11 托福寫作真題 – 上午場

獨立寫作

In many places, it has been typical for teachers of high school students (ages 14-18) to lecture or lead a discussion while the students listen and take notes for most of the school day. However, this is not an effective way to prepare students for careers in the modern workplace. Do you agree or disagree with the following view? A better way to do that is for teachers to spend most of the school day on student－led discussions (in which students frequently present their ideas and discuss them with the class) and project－based activities (in which students do their own research and work together while the teacher is available to help them as needed).

Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. Be sure to use your own words. Do not use memorized examples.

這是一道2019.11.16的舊題，也在2021年5.31-6.3和9.5-9.9的托福在家考題中反覆出現，這都不斷地在提醒同學，舊題很重要，一定要練熟！

這道題目的敘述非常長，所以務必要注意題目中的關鍵字內容：

1. 讀高中的主要目標

(1) 讓學生找到自己的興趣愛好，因為在高中的時候，學生會學習多種學科並積累一定的知識；

(2) 培養學生良好的學習方法和習慣，為未來的工作和學習做準備。

2. 14~18歲高中生的特點

(1) 自制力不足，易受到情緒的影響

(2) 對未來的目標不夠明確，有些迷茫，可能不明白當下所學的內容對未來有什麼作用

3. 兩種教學方式的優缺點

(1) listen and takes notes：以老師為主導，上課效率高，能讓老師講授impart盡量多的知識。另外，記筆記也會讓學生跟上老師的思路，並在下課練習時有依據，可以常常進行複習。這樣的學習方法也有利於學生之後在工作學習時養成記錄的習慣。但換個角度來看，這種方法也有可能會讓學生覺得無聊，只是呆板地記錄而無法靈活地用。

(2) discussion / projects / exchange ideas：以學生為主導，能吸引學生的興趣，更加積極與主動，促使學生主動表達自己的想法與內容，在交流的過程中向別人學習，有利於未來工作的團隊合作。但學生也有可能在交流過程中就開始聊天，如果是這樣的交流就變得和無意義了。

4. an effective way to prepare students for careers (請注意！！不要偏題了)

對於這兩種不同的教學方法與學習方法的好處，並有利於未來工作為導向進行討論，與這個目的無關的理由，就不適合在這篇文章中進行討論了。

9.11 托福寫作真題–下午場

At many universities, the administration provides help to new students who may be unfamiliar with university life. If you were a new student who wanted to learn how best to succeed at your school and adjust to university life, which ONE of the following activities do you think would be most useful to you? Why?

－Attending a one-week orientation or introductory program on the university campus, during which you would live on the campus and participate in activities there before your classes began

－Meeting regularly during your first year with a student in your major field of study who has attended the university for several years.

這也是一道在2018年出現的舊題，也是2021托福在家考反覆出現的題目。還是老話一句，不能忽視考古題的重要性。
