Most importantly, the advance of technology has turned parenting a much more demanding duty. From meal to meal, parents must keep a vigilant eye on what youngsters eat, ridding of any possibility of consuming harmful additives or chemical residuals because foods have been technologically made more delicious but also detrimental. When the young use electronic devices—smartphones, TV, the Internet—a responsible parent must regulate their time of using the devices to prevent being addicted to them, censor the contents to be read or watched, and do their best to make sure the underage do not stray into false fancy or fraud on the virtual cyberspace. By contrast,although children five decades ago could not enjoy myriads of technology-achieved excitements, parents were less worried about seeing their children falling prey to cavities, myopia, or abduction because of synthesized candies, TV-watching and socializing websites.

脈絡解析:今昔比較題型通常是比較20年前或50年前的狀況,所以寫作時也務必把數字帶入。此題型相對來說有一定的難度,ETS考官可以用來考驗考生們實力和能耐。




托福整合型寫作難在要聽得懂內容,考驗托福單字和文法的實力

根據圖表分析數據,11月份「生物類」主題佔了75%,另外的25%則是「歷史類」的主題。內容類型方面,「可行性分析」和「原因分析」各占一半。

托福整合型寫作相較於獨立型來說比較好寫,不用自己憑空發想或是發表看法或論點。難度在於要聽得懂內容,看得懂閱讀,考驗同學們平常有沒有多讀多練習,以及托福單字和文法的實力。


11/25整合寫作作答範本

It has been mentioned in reading that pythons have posed a threat to the safety of Florida populations, so three countermeasures are thus proposed to solve this threat. The lecturer, nonetheless, argue that such proposals actually ring hollow and may prove futile.

The first proposal is to take advantage of dogs’ keen sense of smell, which may suggest precise location of the pythons. However feasible this proposal appears, it is held in doubt because Florida has many watery areas, and water could conceal the smell of pythons while subjecting the dogs to pythons’ attack in water.

Furthering the discussion of keeping pythons in control, the writer then suggests the possibility of setting up traps across the state. This proposal, as the lecture counters again, may not work since the traps could only catch wrong targets because pythons mostly sit and wait for their preys rather than slither around.

It is granting the local people to hunt for pythons, finally, that stands as another/last prescription for the snake problem. This proposed solution, regretfully, may still fall short as only 68 pythons have been reported to be caught with 1000 “snake-hunters” to fulfill the task; it proves a low-efficiency but high-cost undertaking.

有底線的文字代表是可以照著用的,沒有底線的文字則是得自己換句話說,同學們可以運用在其它題目來練習看看。
