2024年一月托福學術寫作考情分析

2024年一月托福線下考試一共六場：分別是1.6；1.13；1.20上下午各一場；1.24；1.27。

這六場考試中，按照題型分類：開放類占了一題；限定類占了五題；和去年呈現的比例一致。

按照話題分類，一共考了四大類話題：教育類占了兩(liang) 道題，分別是討論

1、小孩子還是青少年更能從(cong) 小組學習(xi) 中獲益；

2、老師的工資應該和其它行業(ye) 一樣還是應該高一點；工作類占兩(liang) 題，分別是1、決(jue) 定工作場合溝通方式的重要因素是什麽(me) ，2、多樣化勞動力是否會(hui) 帶來積極影響；科技類占一題，討論社交媒體(ti) 的網紅對粉絲(si) 的利弊影響；政府政策類占一題，討論政府是否應該提供免費的高等教育。

備考建議：

1.讀題和審題要仔細； 跑題和偏題對寫(xie) 作分數影響較大；比如一月的第一場考試，考察角度比較刁鑽，它問的是"工作中，在決(jue) 定是通過書(shu) 麵交流還是口頭交流時，要考慮的最重要因素是什麽(me) ？" 偏題的學生較多，都寫(xie) 成了書(shu) 麵交流還是口頭交流更好；這種偏題對寫(xie) 作分數造成了明顯的影響；

2.話題的背景素材儲(chu) 備要充足；本月考察的話題，不管是工作類話題和是政府政策類話題都不是高中生們(men) 生活中經常提及的主題，平時如果不刻意的積累搜集相關(guan) 的話題背景知識，容易在考場上出現思路卡殼的現象。

接下來附上本月考試的具體(ti) 真題，備考的同學們(men) 可以使用練習(xi) 。

lDr. Achebe: Over the next few weeks, we'll begin discussing communication strategies in the workplace. These days there are many options for workplace communications. Sometimes people choose to communicate in writing through email or through messaging apps, while at other times they prefer talking to others face-to-face or by phones. What is the most important factor to consider when deciding whether to communicate in writing or by speaking in the workplace?Why?

lKelly:I think privacyis the biggest factor in choosing to communicate in writing or speaking at work. If it's personal or confidential, it's better to email or message instead of talking out loud where everyone can hear. My dad always emails his boss private stuff rather than discussing it in the open office. Written communication lets you control who sees what you say.

lAndrew:I think the main factor in deciding to speak or write at work is how well you know someone. If you don't know a coworker that well, randomly showing up in their office to chat can interrupt their workflow. It's better to email new coworkers at first until you build more of a rapport. Once you're more familiar with each other, face-to-face talks are easier and less disruptive.

Dr. Achebe: Having students work together in small groups on learning activities is a popular alternative to teaching the whole class as one large group. The average age of students in a classroom can, of course, be an important consideration when choosing any teaching approach. I'd like us to consider two age groups: very young students (ages 5-11) and older students (ages 14-18). Which age group do you think would benefit more from working in small groups on learning activities? Why?
Claire: I think young elementary school kids would benefit more from small group activities than high schoolers. Young kids are often more eager to participate and cooperate, whereas teens can be disengaged and distracted during class. Grouping kids when they're young can teach them social skills and get them excited about learning together. High schoolers may prefer independent work where they can focus without distractions from peers.

Andrew: I think older high school students would benefit more from small group work. Teens tend to be more competitive and motivated to stand out, so working in groups can encourage them to challenge each other intellectually. From my experience in group projects for class, we pushed each other to think deeper and produce better work than we could have individually.

Dr. Achebe: As teachers play an invaluable role in shaping young minds and preparing students for the future, there is an ongoing discussion regarding their compensation. Some argue that teachers should be paid salaries comparable to other high-earning professionals like doctors, lawyers and business executives. Do you agree or disagree that teachers deserve salaries on par with these professions? Please explain your viewpoint.

Claire: Teachers should receive salaries on par with other high-earning professionals. They work long hours preparing lessons, grading assignments, and supporting students. Without good teachers, we wouldn't have doctors, lawyers, and executives. If we want to attract the best talent to this invaluable profession, we must compensate teachers accordingly. My favorite teachers inspired me and contributed greatly to my success.

Andrew: I don't think teachers deserve the same high salaries as doctors or lawyers. Teachers get so much time off, with summer vacations and other long breaks. My aunt is a teacher and she's always posting on Facebook about trips she takes or sleeping in during vacations. With all that time off, teachers shouldn't earn salaries on par with year-round demanding professions.

Doctor Diaz

Diversity and inclusion have become crucial considerations for modern workplaces. Employers are increasingly recognizing the value of recruiting individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds and genders. However, there is an ongoing debate about the potential positive or negative impacts of such recruitment practices while also maintaining gender balance within the workforce. Let me ask you: do you think such recruitment practices mainly bring positive or negative impacts?

Claire

Well, I think diversity recruitment can bring about a wealth of benefits to organizations. It can lead to the creation of a more innovative, adaptable, and creative workforce, as individuals from different backgrounds bring in varying perspectives and experiences.

Paul

In my opinion, recruiting individuals from diverse backgrounds may lead to potential challenges such as cultural differences, misunderstandings, and communication barriers. There may be a lack of understanding about certain taboos or norms, creating friction and hindering effective collaboration within the workforce.

Doctor Gupta:

With the rise of social media, influencers have emerged as popular figures who impact the opinions and behaviors of their many followers. As we study the effects of media, we ought to examine whether these influencers are having positive or negative impacts on society. Influencers shape trends and sway their followers' choices on many topics from fashion to politics. Given their power, in your opinion, do social media influencers generally have positive or negative effects on their followers and society at large? What evidence supports your perspective?

Claire:

Influencers can have a positive impact because they provide their followers with a lot of information and save them time researching topics themselves. Rather than having to read extensively about fashion, politics, or other interests, fans can simply follow influencers to get key information and opinions on those subjects. Influencers conveniently consolidate and share knowledge that would otherwise take followers much time to acquire independently.

Paul:

I disagree with Claire because influencers may exaggerate or misrepresent the truth. For example, an influencer may promote a pair of athletic shoes and claim they perform amazingly, leading many followers to purchase them. However, the shoes may not actually live up to the influencer's hype. Followers can be misled by influencers stretching the truth, whether intentionally or not, about products, political issues, or other topics.

Dr. Achebe: College tuition has been rising steadily, putting financial pressure on many families. One proposal is that government should cover tuition costs so that anyone can attend college for free. What do you think? Should government pay for college and make higher education free? Please explain your viewpoint.

Claire: I believe college should be free for all students. This would promote fairness and access to education, giving underprivileged students more opportunities. Everyone deserves a chance to pursue higher education, regardless of their financial situation. Free tuition would open doors for many capable students who currently can't afford the high costs of attending college.

Paul: I don't think college should be free for all. That could attract many students who aren't genuinely interested in learning, overcrowding classes. It's better to keep some cost so students are motivated and classes aren't too large, which hurts the quality of education.
