海外考试的种类很多,雅思、新托福、GRE、GMAT、SAT等,每项考试对于写作的要求都是不一样的,然而很多新托福考生凭主观臆断写作要想拿高分就要词汇高深、句法复杂,实际情况却是ETS没那么在意词句的高难度,而是最在意内容信息传递的清晰度和逻辑性。当考生不了解时,就会把功夫花错地方,做了过多的无用功,造成吃力不讨好,成绩遇到瓶颈,怎么也提高不了的情况。为了帮助考生们更有针对性地拿分,下面小编就对新托福综合写作的评分细则做具体分析。
托福综合写作高分段评分标准介绍
5分标准:
A response at this level: successfully selects the important information from the lecture; and coherently and accurately presents this information in relation to the relevant information presented in the reading; well organized; occasional language errors that are present do not result in inaccurate or imprecise presentation of content or connections.
4分标准:
A response at this level: is generally good in selecting the important information from the lecture and in coherently and accurately presenting this information in relation to the relevant information in the reading, but it may have minor omission, inaccuracy, vagueness, or imprecision of some content from the lecture or in connection to points made in the reading. A response is also scored at this level if it has more frequent or noticeable minor language errors, as long as such usage and grammatical structures do not result in anything more than an occasional lapse of clarity or in the connection of ideas.
3分标准:
A response at this level: contains some important information from the lecture and conveys some relevant connection to the reading, but it is marked by one or more of the following: Although the overall response is definitely oriented to the task, it conveys only vague, global, unclear or somewhat imprecise connection of the points made in the lecture to points made in the reading; may omit one major key point made in the lecture. Some key points made in the lecture or the reading, or connections between the two, may be incomplete, inaccurate, or imprecise. Errors of usage and/or grammar may be more frequent or may result in noticeably vague expressions or obscured meanings in conveying ideas and connections.
托福综合写作高分段评分标准分析
通过上面的原文介绍我们可以清晰地看到,托福综合写作的评分主要从以下三方面进行评估。
1. 内容:
5分标准在内容上一点折扣都不能打,必须完整又正确地写出听力部分的所有细节,并且要把听力和阅读的逻辑关系理清。4分文章要求稍微低一些,但仍需要将听力中的内容较大程度地呈现到文章中,可以有一些细节上的问题,比如内容细微的遗漏、模糊不清、不完全精准等。3分的要求就更低了,换言之内容上欠缺的更多,如听力反驳阅读的三个点中,有一个大点完全没有听到或听懂,文章中的信息大多是不准确的、不完整的、不细致的。
2. 结构:
综合写作的结构从大方向上来说是没有问题和难度的,一般采用4段式,第一段Introduction, 接下来三段分别写出听力反驳阅读的三个方面。那么难度在哪里呢?同学们务必要有的意识是段落和段落之间的过度和衔接是否有效,是否正确,是否容易让人理解。这就需要同学们把连接词或者写作模版提前准备好,使句和句,段与段之间的关系有逻辑地清晰地表达出来。
3. 语言:
从以上评分标准可以看出,5分的文章并非完美,可以存在一些语言上的小错,只要这些小错不影响读者的阅读即可。根据小编的经验,5分标准中的小错就是指由于粗心或者打字速度快造成的打字错误,具体包括词汇拼写错误,第三人称单数问题,名词单复数等。考官也是人性化的,在20分钟的时间内打出一篇280字左右的文章(官方要求150-225,但一般要求考生能写到260-280,这样才能拿到更高的分数),总有可能会有一些无伤大雅的小错。4分的文章从语言上来看,小错要比5分更频繁,更明显,但仍然要求是不能影响读者的理解。至于3分,个人认为基础好一些的学生在语言上是不会沦落到这个级别的,因为它的小错更多了,最糟糕的是已经影响到了读者的阅读,让读者不知道该考生想要表达什么。
针对以上分析,大家可以看到,新托福综合写作对内容的要求比对语言的要求要高,同学们一定要通过提高细节听力能力和观点总结联系之后保4争5。
