The comprehensive writing in the writing part of the new TOEFL is a brand-new writing problem for China candidates. In less than 30 minutes, you have to read, listen and write. The test order is the last link of the most tired candidates, which is very difficult. Therefore, the author summarizes some mistakes that candidates are prone to make in the teaching process, and gives the following four suggestions:

First, reading: look for core sentences and keywords, and avoid word for word.

The general logic of British and American writing can be summarized as total score or total score. The reading materials of TOEFL comprehensive writing are mostly pre-arranged, mostly in four paragraphs (the first paragraph is always at the beginning, and the three paragraphs are unfolded separately).

The first paragraph is mainly used to provide background information or raise a topic. (Note: Reading and listening are the same topic, and there are few complementary viewpoints, but most of them are opposite. ) and the author's position or argument is mostly located in the last sentence of the first paragraph. Smart candidates will focus on the last sentence of the first paragraph to determine the author's argument, so as to have a clear idea of the next stage of listening.

In the following paragraphs, three arguments or arguments of the author's argument are given. In a single paragraph, following the general scoring model used by westerners, the first sentence of a single paragraph is mostly a topic sentence. Candidates can only pay attention to the first sentence of three paragraphs to get the main content of the paragraphs quickly, thus avoiding the lack of full-text reading speed.

Second, listen: judge the speaker's position, record opinions and support arguments.

Listening notes are very important, which is the key factor to determine whether comprehensive writing can be successfully completed. Students who have not been trained or neglected to practice don't know what to write at all. As a result, they can't understand the notes themselves, or the notes are too messy and useless.

If you want to know what to remember and how to remember when listening, you should remember that the logic of westerners is still in your heart. "Total score" means that the speaker's position and argument are stated at the beginning of listening. According to our previous analysis, reading and listening must be the same topic, so you don't have to be busy memorizing listening at first. In fact, there is no need to write anything, just calm down and listen to the speaker's position clearly.

Then, similar to reading, the speaker will support his point of view from three aspects. Many times, these three points are just in line with the three points in reading. The arguments in three aspects of listening are often impossible to infer from reading, so students need to take notes on arguments and arguments and remember key words. Don't try to memorize a whole sentence in a big way, it's hard to understand in the end.

Third, find ways to improve your memory.

Candidates may wish to observe their own copying of English sentences. Most untrained second language learners probably have to go back and reread every time they finish writing a word before they can continue copying-sometimes they even have to go back and reread every time they finish writing a letter. This shows that this person's memory capacity can only accommodate one word (or even one word).

People with large memory capacity can understand the text more easily and remember it more easily, because they can understand it, and then they can contact the context more easily because they can remember it, while people with small memory capacity basically have a hard time reading an article.

However, with a little training, the memory capacity will be expanded to a sufficient extent. The best way to improve your English memory ability quickly to the point of "enough" is to accumulate it on weekdays through "following" and "reading aloud" training. Because reading aloud can improve the understanding of words very effectively and quickly. This is crucial. The most important reason for not remembering is not "poor memory"-no matter how good the memory is, it is difficult to remember incomprehensible and irrelevant information-it is easy to remember after understanding.

Finally, we are more concerned about the template problem. In comprehensive writing, if you want to integrate the thinking of reading and listening, it will be even more powerful if you have a set of useful templates in the preparation stage. It is suggested that candidates should have their own unique templates. By changing synonyms and sentence patterns, they can achieve a unique template with many good templates but no similarities.
