修改后示例版本

In the reading passage, Richard III was accused of ordering the death of his two nephews. However, the lecturer holds the opposite view and provides several pieces of evidence to refute this claim.

First, the speaker challenges the notion that Richard had a strong motive to kill the children in order to secure the throne. Instead, Richard III used another strategy by having their parents’ marriage declared illegal, which rendered the nephews illegitimate. As a result, he no longer had any reason to harm them.

Second, while the reading passage points out that many contemporary authors believed Richard III committed the murders, the lecturer notes that these authors, including William Shakespeare and Sir Thomas More, were supported by Richard’s enemies, the Tudor family. Since the Tudors wanted to justify their own takeover of the throne, the claims they made are not trustworthy.

Finally, although two skeletons were discovered in the Tower of London, the lecturer argues that it is impossible to determine their age or even gender. Moreover, many dead children were buried there over the centuries, so it is difficult to determine whether these remains belonged to Richard’s nephews. Thus, the evidence presented in the reading is not conclusive.

原答案

In the reading passage, “Nazca Lines” were claimed to function as astronomical calendar, art works and ancient racetracks. However, the lecturer holds the opposite view and provides several pieces of evidence to refute this claim.

First, the speaker challenges the notion that “Nazca Lines” served as an astronomical calendar. Instead, he points out that the major parts of the “Nazca Lines” didn’t match up with any stars and planets in the sky. Furthermore, considering so many stars on the sky, he holds the view that relationship between “Nazca Lines” and astronomical events is just coincidence.

Second, while reading passage points out that “Nazca Lines” could be artworks and worked like pyramid and sculptures of Easter Island, the lecturer notes that “Nazca Lines” only seems like artwork overhead, which means that there is no reason to regard it as artworks from a perspective on the flat plain.

Finally, although there is evidence that people travel by foot along these lines, the lecturer argues that the lines are too complex for foot race. Moreover, as people had to move following particular regulations during some religious events, the “Nazca Lines” might be used in some religious ceremonies for people to walk along.

最终范文:

In the reading passage, the Nazca Lines were claimed to function as an astronomical calendar, artwork, and ancient racetracks. However, the lecturer holds the opposite view and provides several pieces of evidence to refute this claim.

First, the speaker challenges the notion that the Nazca Lines served as an astronomical calendar. He points out that most of the lines do not align with any stars or planets in the sky. Furthermore, given the vast number of stars, he argues that the relationship between the Nazca Lines and astronomical events is just a coincidence.

Second, while the reading passage suggests that the Nazca Lines could be works of art, similar to the pyramids or the sculptures of Easter Island, the lecturer notes that the lines only appear to be artworks when viewed from above. Since the Nazca people could not see the designs from that perspective, he argues there is no reason to believe the lines were intended to be seen as artwork.

Finally, although there is evidence that people traveled by foot along these lines, the lecturer argues that the lines are too complex to have been designed for a foot race. Instead, he suggests that the lines were likely used in religious ceremonies, where participants followed the paths as part of ritual movements governed by specific rules.

原文

In the reading passage, lions are claimed to live in groups for several reasons. However, the lecturer holds the opposite view and provides several pieces of evidence.

Firstly, the speaker challeges the notion that female lions tend to form groups to feed their cubs cooperatively, which is the reason lead to the preference of cooperation. Instead, this theory doesn’t goes very well because the female lions only feed the cubs that are not their brought by them when they are alsleep. After they wake up, the cubs will be chased away.

Secondly, while the reading passage points out that lions employ strategy of group cooperation to hunt for food and increase the possibility to catch challenging prey, the lecturer notes that a single lion already has the capability to catch smaller and easier preys such as pigs by itself, thus it is enough for individual living and the prey won’t be shared with others.

Finally, although female lions do form groups to repel the male lion indavors, there exists evidence that the male lions also form groups of seven to eight individuals, and so do the cubs. Therefore, protecting the cubs can not be a fully convincing reason to bring lions together.

第一点

Firstly, the speaker challeges the notion that female lions tend to form groups to feed their cubs cooperatively, which is the reason lead to the preference of cooperation.

  • challeges → challenges(拼写错误)
  • lead to → leading to(非谓语短语)

Instead, this theory doesn’t goes very well because the female lions only feed the cubs that are not their brought by them when they are alsleep. After they wake up, the cubs will be chased away.

  • doesn’t goes → doesn’t go(主谓一致错误)
  • their brought by them → not brought by them(表达错误)
  • alsleep → asleep(拼写错误)

第二点

Secondly, while the reading passage points out that lions employ strategy of group cooperation to hunt for food and increase the possibility to catch challenging prey, the lecturer notes that a single lion already has the capability to catch smaller and easier preys such as pigs by itself, thus it is enough for individual living and the prey won’t be shared with others.

  • employ strategy of → employ a strategy of
  • possibility to catch → possibility of catching
  • preys → prey(不可数)
  • by itself → alone(更自然)

第三点

Finally, although female lions do form groups to repel the male lion indavors, there exists evidence that the male lions also form groups of seven to eight individuals, and so do the cubs. Therefore, protecting the cubs can not be a fully convincing reason to bring lions together.

  • indavors → invaders(拼写错误)
  • and so do the cubs → cubs不会自己 forming groups,这句话不对
  • can not → cannot(拼写习惯)
  • fully convincing → entirely convincing(更正式)

完整范文(官方风格)

In the reading passage, it is suggested that lions live in groups for several reasons. However, the lecturer disagrees and provides several pieces of evidence to challenge these ideas.

Firstly, the speaker challenges the idea that female lions form groups in order to feed their cubs cooperatively. He explains that female lions only allow cubs that are not their own to nurse when they are asleep. Once they wake up, they quickly chase those cubs away. Therefore, cubs do not benefit much from this behavior.

Secondly, while the reading states that lions hunt in groups to catch large prey, the lecturer argues that a single lion can easily catch smaller animals, such as wild pigs, alone. Lions that live alone do not need to share food, so living in groups does not necessarily improve their nutrition.

Finally, although the reading claims that female lions form groups to protect their cubs from invading males, the lecturer points out that male lions also form groups called coalitions. Since both male and female lions form groups regardless of whether cubs are present, protecting cubs cannot be considered the primary reason for lions’ social behavior.

题目:

原答案:

In the reading passage, it is said that modern English people are mostly descended from the Anglo-Saxons. However, the lecturer holds the opposite view and provides several pieces of evidence to refute this claim.

Firstly, the speaker challenges the notion that the Anglo-Saxons immigration with massive scales replaces the native Celts. Instead, the sources recording these facts mistakenly ignore the size of the calculated population, which means the native population of Celts was still higher than the Anglo-Saxons.

Secondly, while the reading passage points out that modern English language is derived from Anglo-Saxons’ language, the lecturer notes that this fact can not serve as a supporting material, because that might just due to the possibility that the original Celts adapted the new language brought from Anglo-Saxons as their own.

Finally, although there is genetic evidence that the genes of current inhabitants from several villages perform more similarly as those of Anglo-Saxons, the lecturer argues that the places where the gene samples come from are too limited. And due to the reason that these villiages locates closely to Denmark and Germany, it is obvious to have a higher genetic similarity, but the situation can not be expand to the whole England. Thus, the evidence presented in the reading passage is not conclusive.

原句 2:

Firstly, the speaker challenges the notion that the Anglo-Saxons immigration with massive scales replaces the native Celts.

❌ 问题:

  • “the Anglo-Saxons immigration” → 名词前不加定冠词,且应为“Anglo-Saxon immigration”(形容词作定语)
  • “with massive scales” → 不自然,应为“on a massive scale”
  • “replaces” → 时态问题,应为“replaced”

建议修改

Firstly, the speaker challenges the notion that Anglo-Saxon immigration on a massive scale replaced the native Celts.

原句 3:

Instead, the sources recording these facts mistakenly ignore the size of the calculated population, which means the native population of Celts was still higher than the Anglo-Saxons.

❌ 问题:

  • “recording these facts” → awkward,可简化
  • “calculated population” → 不自然,建议为“total population”或“estimated population”
  • “was still higher than the Anglo-Saxons” → 应为“…than that of the Anglo-Saxons”

建议修改

Instead, historical sources failed to consider the total population sizes, meaning the native Celtic population was likely larger than that of the Anglo-Saxons.

原句 4:

Secondly, while the reading passage points out that modern English language is derived from Anglo-Saxons’ language, the lecturer notes that this fact can not serve as a supporting material, because that might just due to the possibility that the original Celts adapted the new language brought from Anglo-Saxons as their own.

❌ 问题:

  • “Anglo-Saxons’ language” → 更自然的说法是 “the Anglo-Saxon language”
  • “can not” → 推荐写作形式为“cannot”
  • “supporting material” → “supporting evidence” 更自然
  • “that might just due to” → 语法错误,应该是 “might just be due to”
  • “adapted the new language” → 应为 “adopted”(采用),不是“adapted”(适应)

建议修改

Secondly, while the reading passage claims that the modern English language is derived from the Anglo-Saxon language, the lecturer argues that this cannot serve as supporting evidence, because it might simply be due to the possibility that the original Celts adopted the new language introduced by the Anglo-Saxons.

原句 5:

Finally, although there is genetic evidence that the genes of current inhabitants from several villages perform more similarly as those of Anglo-Saxons, the lecturer argues that the places where the gene samples come from are too limited.

❌ 问题:

  • “perform more similarly as” → 应为 “are more similar to”
  • “places where the gene samples come from” → 太啰嗦,可简化为 “the sampling locations are too limited”

建议修改

Finally, although genetic evidence shows that the genes of current inhabitants from several villages are more similar to those of the Anglo-Saxons, the lecturer argues that the sampling locations are too limited.

原句 6:

And due to the reason that these villiages locates closely to Denmark and Germany, it is obvious to have a higher genetic similarity, but the situation can not be expand to the whole England.

❌ 问题:

  • “due to the reason that” → 冗余,改为 “because” 或 “since”
  • “villiages” → 拼写错误,应为 “villages”
  • “locates” → 主语是 villages(复数),应为 “are located”
  • “obvious to have” → 不地道,应为 “it is natural for them to have”
  • “can not be expand” → 应为 “cannot be expanded”
  • “the whole England” → 应为 “the whole of England” 或 “all of England”

建议修改

Since these villages are located close to Denmark and Germany, it is natural for them to have higher genetic similarity. However, this situation cannot be generalized to the whole of England.

原句 7:

Thus, the evidence presented in the reading passage is not conclusive.

✅ 正确,但也可以微调为更书面风格:

Therefore, the evidence presented in the reading passage **cannot be considered conclusive.

完整盖板

In the reading passage, it is claimed that modern English people are mostly descended from the Anglo-Saxons. However, the lecturer holds a different view and provides several pieces of evidence to refute this claim.

Firstly, the speaker challenges the notion that Anglo-Saxon immigration on a massive scale replaced the native Celts. Instead, historical sources failed to consider the total population sizes, meaning the native Celtic population was likely larger than that of the Anglo-Saxons.

Secondly, while the reading passage claims that the modern English language is derived from the Anglo-Saxon language, the lecturer argues that this cannot serve as supporting evidence. It might simply be due to the possibility that the original Celts adopted the Anglo-Saxon language over time.

Finally, although genetic evidence shows that the genes of current inhabitants from several villages are more similar to those of the Anglo-Saxons, the lecturer argues that the sampling locations are too limited. Since these villages are located close to Denmark and Germany, it is natural for them to have higher genetic similarity. However, this situation cannot be generalized to the whole of England.

Therefore, the evidence presented in the reading passage cannot be considered conclusive.

原答案

I disagree with the claim that excessive consumption has become a serious problem mainly for 2 reasons. Firstly, as manufacture industry super developed in these days, the increasement of personal using products will not cause pressure to the industry, in contrast, it will promote the economy development and make progress to the society. Secondly, technologies to protect the environment are quite emphasized nowadays, and the factories are ordered to use clean energy source strictly limited to produce pollution, thus excessive consumption will noy lead to problem to the environment as it’s only a small part of the global manufature chain. So there’s no need to worry about that.

问题与修改说明

  1. 数字表达
    • 原文:“…mainly for 2 reasons.”
    • 在正式写作中,通常用文字而非数字,改为“…mainly for two reasons.”
  2. 行业表述
    • 原文:“as manufacture industry super developed in these days…”
    • “manufacture industry”应改为“manufacturing industry”;“super developed”不地道,可改为“has advanced significantly”或“has greatly developed”。
    • 建议改为:“as the manufacturing industry has advanced significantly in recent years…”
  3. “increasement”用词错误
    • 原文:“the increasement of personal using products”
    • 英语中没有“increasement”这种说法,应改为“increase”。
    • “personal using products”表达生硬,可改为“personal use of consumer products”。
    • 例如:“…the increase in the personal use of consumer products…”
  4. 短语搭配不恰当
    • 原文:“…will not cause pressure to the industry…”
    • 正确表达通常是“cause pressure on the industry”或“place pressure on the industry”。
  5. 经济发展相关表达
    • 原文:“it will promote the economy development and make progress to the society.”
    • 建议:“it will promote economic development and benefit society.”
  6. “Secondly”段落的表述问题
    • “technologies to protect the environment are quite emphasized nowadays…” 可以更清晰表述为“environmental protection technologies are strongly emphasized nowadays…”
    • “the factories are ordered to use clean energy source strictly limited to produce pollution”句子结构混乱。应拆分或重构,说明工厂被要求使用清洁能源、受到严格污染管控。
    • 例如:“factories are mandated to use clean energy sources and are strictly limited in how much pollution they can produce.”
  7. 拼写错误
    • “will noy lead to problem” 应为“will not lead to problems…”
    • “global manufature chain” 应为“global manufacturing chain.”
  8. 用词和逻辑衔接
    • 原文:“…as it’s only a small part of the global manufature chain. So there’s no need to worry about that.”
    • 过于口语化,可改为较正式的“Therefore”或“Hence”衔接总结观点。
    • “there’s no need to worry about that”可改为“there is no need for concern”或“there is little cause for alarm”以表述更得体。

修改后示例版本

I disagree with the claim that excessive consumption has become a serious problem mainly for two reasons. First, as the manufacturing industry has advanced significantly in recent years, an increase in the personal use of consumer products will not place undue pressure on the industry. On the contrary, it could promote economic development and benefit society. Second, environmental protection technologies are strongly emphasized today, and factories must use clean energy sources while adhering to strict pollution limits. As a result, excessive consumption will not lead to serious environmental issues, given that it constitutes only a small portion of the global manufacturing chain. Therefore, there is no need for concern.

题目:

This week, we’ll examine issues in education reform. For example, some educators think that by focusing mainly on foundational knowledge in subjects like reading, math, and science, schools are not fully preparing students for success in the workplace. These educators argue that soft skills-nonacademic skills such as being empathetic or having a strong work ethic-should be part of the curriculum, with classroom time dedicated to developing these skills. Do you agree? Why or why not?

原答案:

I agree with the claim that soft skills course should be added into the curriculum. Firstly, as the society laying more and more emphasis on the comprehensive capabilities, schools have the duty to cultivate relevant skills from an early stage of educations. For example, the skills of making a speech in front of the public might benefits the student a lot in future career. Secondly, adding these courses will make lives in school more abundant and vibrant. Students can enrich their lide experience and broaden their horizons from these courses, rather than just sitting in classrooms and preparing for the exams all day along. Therefore, there is no arguement that soft skill courses should be added.

原句 1:

    • “the comprehensive capabilities”应去掉“the”,或者明确特指;
    • “educations”是不可数名词,应为“education”。
  • 修改:Firstly, as society lays more and more emphasis on comprehensive capabilities, schools have the duty to cultivate relevant skills from an early stage of education.

原句 3:
For example, the skills of making a speech in front of the public might benefits the student a lot in future career.

  • 问题
    • “skills of making a speech”不地道,建议改为“public speaking skills”;
    • “benefits”应为动词原形“benefit”,因为主语是“skills”;
    • “the student”应为“students”,因为上文是泛指;
    • “in future career”应为“in their future careers”(加冠词、改为复数更自然)。
  • 修改:For example, public speaking skills might benefit students a lot in their future careers.

原句 4:
Secondly, adding these courses will make lives in school more abundant and vibrant.

I agree with the claim that soft skills courses should be added to the curriculum.

Firstly, as society lays more and more emphasis on comprehensive capabilities, schools have the responsibility to cultivate these skills from an early stage of education. For example, public speaking skills can greatly benefit students in their future careers.

Secondly, adding such courses can make school life more enriching and vibrant. Students will be able to broaden their horizons and gain valuable life experience through these courses, rather than just sitting in classrooms preparing for exams all day long. Therefore, there is no doubt that soft skills courses should be included in the school curriculum.

Firstly, as society lays more and more emphasis on comprehensive capabilities…

我们来详细解释一下为什么是 “lays” 而不是你以为的伴随状语 “laying”

你认为这里的 “as society laying…” 是一种 “伴随状语” 的结构,所以应该用 laying 对吧?

但其实这个句子里的 “as” 并不是引导伴随状语,而是引导一个时间状语从句原因状语从句

“as” 在这里是一个连词,意思是:

  • “当……的时候”(时间)
  • “因为……”(原因)

结构分析:

as + 主语 + 谓语动词
as society lays…

你可以把这个从句单独拿出来:

Society lays more and more emphasis on comprehensive capabilities.

整个结构是个完整的句子,所以在连接到主句时,仍然要保留完整的主谓结构。


为什么不能用 laying?

laying 是现在分词,它不能单独构成一个从句,只能作为伴随状语、非谓语动词、或进行时态的一部分。

如果你写成:

As society laying more and more emphasis…

这就成了语法错误,因为 “laying” 不是一个谓语动词,句子缺少谓语。


举例对比说明

正确表达结构用法说明
As society lays more emphasis…主语 + 谓语✅ as 引导从句,结构完整
Society laying more emphasis, schools should…伴随状语✅ “laying” 是非谓语,前面无 as
As society is laying more emphasis…主语 + be + V-ing✅ 进行时,从句完整
Laying more emphasis, society helps students…分词结构✅ 开头分词做状语

总之:

“as society lays…” 是一个完整的从句结构,“lays” 是谓语动词
如果你想用“laying”,就不能用“as”,而是要把它变成非谓语结构(比如放在句首,表示伴随)。

例三

Is it better to have many friends or a small group of close friends?

原文:

I agree with claim that having many friends will helps more.

Firstly, having many friends means having various sources of information. For example, friends come from different country might give you brand new knowledge of cultures and history, which can actually broaden your horizon.

Secondly, you can benefit from having many friends by receiving numerous kinds of help when you are trapped in tough situations. For example, when you are confused in a math course and have no idea of the theory, a friend majoring in math might could help you out by suffering accedamic instrusctions and disscussions. Thus I hold the view that it is better to have many friends.

出现的错误:

I agree with claim that having many friends will helps more.

问题:

  • with claim → with the claim(缺冠词)
  • will helps → will help(助动词后动词原形)

For example, friends come from different country might give you brand new knowledge of cultures and history, which can actually broaden your horizon.

问题:

  • come → coming(定语从句省略 who are)
  • country → countries(复数)
  • might give you brand new knowledge of cultures → might provide you with new knowledge about different cultures

For example, when you are confused in a math course and have no idea of the theory, a friend majoring in math might could help you out by suffering accedamic instrusctions and disscussions.

问题:

  • in a math course → about a math course(更自然)
  • have no idea of → have no idea about
  • might could → might / could(二选一)
  • suffering → offering(明显拼错)
  • accedamic instrusctions and disscussions → academic instructions and discussions(拼写错误)

最终润色后的官方范文

I agree with the claim that having many friends will help more. Firstly, having many friends means having access to a variety of sources of information. For example, friends coming from different countries might provide you with new knowledge about different cultures and history, which can actually broaden your horizons.

Secondly, having many friends allows you to receive help from various people when you encounter difficult situations. For instance, when you are confused about a math course and have no idea about the theory, a friend majoring in math might help you out by offering academic instructions and discussions.

Therefore, I firmly believe that it is better to have many friends because of the valuable knowledge and support they can provide.

例四:

题目:

Today, we’re going to talk about the benefits and drawbacks of remote work. Many companies have implemented remote work policies in the past few years, and many others are considering joining them. Given that this represents a major change in the way we work and interact with each other, companies must carefully consider all relevant details before making a decision. What do you think? Is remote work beneficial, or do you think it’s a bad idea?

原始答案:

I hold the view that remote work is beneficial for two reasons.

Firstly, remote work provides a better access to more flexible working environment. For example, employees can choose to work from home or in a coffee shop nearby, which is quite convinient and saves plenty of time. Further more, due to the advanced technologies of networks, there do not exist too much problems when communicating remotely.

Secondly, It is an outstanding method to relieve stress caused by the hard work. Espacially when working from home, the relaxing automospher can greatly comfort workers and thus they can accomplish their task with better moods and higher efficiency.

好的,我已经仔细查看了您的作文,并找出了其中的错误。以下是对您作文的修改和更符合托福官方标准的最终范文。

  1. 拼写错误
  • “convinient” → “convenient”
  • “Further more” → “Furthermore”
  • “Espacially” → “Especially”
  • “automospher” → “atmosphere”
  1. 语法错误
  • “better access to more flexible working environment” → “better access to a more flexible working environment”
    • 需要加上冠词 “a” 来修饰 “working environment”。
  • “there do not exist too much problems” → “there are not many problems”
    • 使用 “there are” 而不是 “there do not exist”,并且 “too much” 应改为 “many” 来修饰可数名词 “problems”。
  • “Secondly, It is an outstanding method” → “Secondly, it is an outstanding method”
    • “it” 不需要大写,除非在句首。
  • “comfort workers” → “comforts workers”
    • 主语 “atmosphere” 是单数,因此谓语动词应该是 “comforts”。

修改后的作文:

I believe that remote work is beneficial for two main reasons.

Firstly, remote work provides better access to a more flexible working environment. For example, employees can choose to work from home or from a nearby coffee shop, which is quite convenient and saves a significant amount of time. Furthermore, due to the advanced technology of networks, there are not many problems when communicating remotely.

Secondly, remote work is an excellent way to relieve stress caused by a heavy workload. Especially when working from home, the relaxing atmosphere can greatly comfort workers, allowing them to accomplish their tasks with better moods and higher efficiency.

I agree with the claim that having many friends is better than having a small group of close friends for two main reasons.

Firstly, having many friends means having access to more information and different perspectives. For example, friends from different backgrounds can share unique knowledge about their cultures and experiences, which can broaden my horizons and help me better understand the world.

Secondly, a large social circle allows me to get help from various people when I face difficulties. For instance, if I have trouble with a math problem, a friend who majors in math might help me out by offering academic instructions. This makes life easier and more efficient.

Therefore, I firmly believe that having many friends is better because it brings more resources, opportunities, and support in both study and life.
