托福獨立寫作高分之時間策略（五）

上一講我們已經(jīng)講到在基本完成一篇獨立寫作的時候，剩下的1-2分鐘就需要檢查和修改。那么，我們需要注意些什么呢？筆者在這里認(rèn)為有如下幾個地方需要注意，
1. 文章的連貫性。（Cohesion）
文章的連貫性可以體現(xiàn)在句與句之間，段與段之間。句與句之間的的連貫性其實是看文章有沒有邏輯性。這里面每個考生的思維邏輯可以是不同，所以就暫不討論。段與段之間的連貫性我們可以用一些小小的技巧去體現(xiàn)。例如，在寫完第一段論證到rest作為理由的時候，我們在展開第二段的論述的時候，可參考：
In addition to the issue of proper rest, I think a longer vacation period provides better opportunities to pursue short-term employment or work experience…

在第二段論證結(jié)束的時候，第三段開頭同樣可以：
Finally, in combination with better rest and work opportunities, I feel that one vacation period will help to make the semester system at schools more effective for actual study and learning…

2. 文章的可以有的讓步。（Concession）
通常我們在寫?yīng)毩�寫作的時候是一邊倒的策略，因為這樣論證起來比較容易。但是往往很多時候考生在構(gòu)思的時候其實是兩邊觀點都可以想到的。這個時候往往就比較糾結(jié)兩邊都可以寫的的觀點�？忌�可以考慮在段中用讓步的方式把自己的觀點表達(dá)出來。例如：
To begin with, a longer vacation can be equated to more comprehensive rest from study. In most current education models, vacation periods can be as short as a couple of days to 1-2 weeks. While that amount of time can be fine for some students, I think for a majority of students, they are only really starting to unwind and truly relax at the end of this vacation time. Suddenly, they are faced with going back to their studies again. From my own experience at university, I never really managed to feel completely rested during the mid-year vacation periods. In fact, a lot of the time I felt like I was more exhausted at the end of this brief break than I was at the start of it!
[While ..., I think ...for a majority]

In addition, I think a longer vacation period provides better opportunities to pursue short-term employment or work experience. Consider, for example, students in law, business, scientific research or engineering trying to secure short-term work that is relevant to their field of study. It would involve a complicated process of searching for work opportunities, establishing contacts, preparing for formal interviews and waiting for the right type of position to come up. It’s true that for some students, this isn’t much of a priority, as they either do not need or do not want to work during their breaks. However, for those that do, it isn’t always easy to arrange work or – for that matter – actual job interviews for students. It takes time to look for and then apply for work. In addition, employers are more likely to be looking for people who can work for an entire month or even a couple of months with them – not 1-2 weeks. That is a bit of a shame, because getting paid work is very helpful to young college students, both to help fund their studies and/or to gain valuable work experience to supplement the focus of their majors. Having sufficient time to look for, apply for and actually do work would be better facilitated with one longer vacation block.
[It’s true that ... However, ...]

文章段中能夠加上這些轉(zhuǎn)折的話，會比較顯示整體的客觀性，同時也不會顯得那么絕對。當(dāng)然，考生在考試的時候也要根據(jù)情況而定，充分利用好時間，這樣才能顧全大局，拿取高分。
