根据托福官方写作评分标准，高分的文章应该内容连贯、用词准确。所以，同学们想要托福写作高分，真的别再一写原因就用“because”，写观点就用“I think”，你失分原因很可能就是词汇和句型不够丰富。

 

多样的词汇和句型，不仅能减少重复内容带来的枯燥感，也可以体现出考生的语言运用能力。如果你想达到托福25+，那么下面50组托福写作中常用到的词组和句型替换，一定要收藏学习！

 

01

表示目的

 

● For the sake of...

● For the purpose of...

● Intending to...

● In the interests,...

● In an attempt to...

● With a focus on...

● With regard to...

● Aiming to...

● So that...

● So as to...

 

虽然上面都是常见词组，但这里要注意的是 “so as to”和 “so that”的用法不同。So as to +动词原型，而so that+从句。

 

例句: 

The government should find the best solution so as to deal with problems.

The government should find the best solution so that they can deal with problems.

释义: 政府应将尝试寻找解决问题的最好方法。

 

02

深化论证

 

● More than that...

● What's more... 

● Besides, ...

● In addition, ...

● Over and above, ... 

● Added to, ... 

● Coupled with...

● In company with...

● In conjunction with...

● As well as...

 

有很多同学会将"as well as"和"as well"的用法记混淆。"as well as"用于连接并列的元素，和“and“意思相近，出现位置不固定；而"as well"用于句末，表示“也”的意思，相当于“too”和“also”。

 

例句:As for meals, you need to consider nutritional value as well as appearance and taste.

释义: 至于食物，你需要考虑营养价值，还有品相和味道。

例句: The parents should help their children do homework as well.

释义: 家长也应该帮助他们的孩子做作业。

 

03

因果关系

 

● ...make contributions to...

● ...be conducive to…

● ...lay a solid foundation for…

● Due to...

● By dint of, ...

● For the reason that, ...

● On account of

● On grounds of

● Therefore, ...

● Hence…

 

我们需要注意的是therefore”和“hence”的用法。“therefore”和“hence”都不是句子连接词，不可以连接两个句子，并且要在后面加逗号。但“hence”与“therefore”的区别是，在句子中“hence”后面可以+名词或名词短语，并且后面不用加逗号。

 

例句:

A better working environment will help people's performance. Therefore, they can improve their productivity.

A better working environment will help people's performance, hence productivity.

释义: 一个更好的工作环境可以帮助人们的工作表现，从而他们可以提高生产力。

 

04

举例说明

 

● As a case in point, ...

● As an instance, ...

● That is to say...

● To be specific, ...

● By way of example, ...

● In particular, ...

● Take for example, ...

● By way of illustration, ...

● It can be given a concrete example that…

● As an illustration, we may take …

 

其实除了以上词组和句型，我们也可以使用句子进行过渡，比如：Let’s bring our discussion here to a more present and practical context. 让我们把讨论放在一个更加现实的环境中来。

 

05

总结概括

 

● In summary, ... 

● Summing up, …

● To sum up, …

● To end things off, …

● So it would appear that ...

● Altogether, ...

● In brief, ...

● In conclusion, ...

● Ultimately, ...

● All things considered, …

 

同学们要记住“all things considered”是一种固定用法，意思是“总体来说，考虑到所有因素”。考试中千万要记住considered的形式哦！

 

例句: All things considered, I definitely agree with that friends should have similar interests and similar views on important topics.

 

释义：总的来说，考虑到所有因素，我绝对同意朋友应该有相似的兴趣和观点。
