 托福高分作文欣賞(1)

其實一開始我個人在準備托福寫作時遇到不小的困境，尤其是獨立寫作的部分，後來我看了許多托福高分作文，發現在托福獨立寫作這一塊拿到不錯分數的關鍵：就是不要偏離問題！怎麼說叫做不要偏離主題，首先要先了解今天問題的主旨內容是什麼？其二，問題針對的對象是誰？其三，回答時必須依據問題主旨內容，包含所舉得例子都相同。當然前提必須是要單字、文法運用得正確。

每篇文章有各自的優點，所以我們可以在觀看範文的時候，自己也要試著寫寫看，並且要檢討自己與對方遣詞用字的差異，學他人的優點改善自己的缺點。

Independent Writing： Does modern technology learn more information and learn it more quickly?

  Marvelous as it looks at first sight, modern technology does not help students learn information at a greater speed and with higher efficiency in most cases; or it could work towards the opposite direction which led students to lose their initiative and explore.

  First of all, one property of modern technology is latently harmful to any learning mind – it distracts. One thing we feel about when we are searching for information online is that the internet, as an outstanding example of modern technology and even regarded as the innovator of education, provides us with not only relevant results to make use of but also external links to click. More than once I turned on my computer to check school library for resources, but ended up watching Youtube videos. In this case, computer as a representative of modern technology plays a negative role in learning information. We do acquire more information with the convenient tool, yet most of them are irrelevant and in the end procrastinating would lower our learning.

 Also, students would easily become disoriented in the huge sea of information. Although modern technology could equip us easy access to information, the huge amount of resources would actually leave us discombobulated. Therefore, it is only we possess information more quickly rather than we learn it more quickly. An illustrating example them from the database, however, one month later I ended up with hundreds of books stored in my hardware yet none of them finished or ever click.

  Furthermore, modern technology gives students an illusion that information and real knowledge is easy to learn – just by clicking mouse or watching videos. But in fact this forms only the first step towards useful information and effective learning, as learning of any kind requires full concentration and interactive thinking, which are almost absent in the pocess of popular e-learning experience.

  To summarize, modern technology does not help students learning more information and learn it more quickly, though it does make access to information and resources much more easily. The popular e-learning still lacks the concentration, depth , and interaction that are the hallmark of traditional ways of educational and learning.
