2018年托福独立写作范文赏析

　　独立写作题目：Many filmmakers make movies based on books. some people prefer to read the book before they watch the movie, while other people prefer to watch the movie before they read the book. which one do you prefer?

　　范文：

　　Reading books and watching movies are two most common entertainments. Nowadays, more and more popular books are adapted to movies by filmmakers. In the coexistence of books and films, some people prefer to read the book before watching the movie. Others are willing to read the book after they have watched the movie. From my opinion, I will choose the latter option.

　　First and foremost, watching movies is easier for people to be understood and it is more vivid. Movies present story from various aspects, such as visually and acoustically. People can feel characters’ emotions from actors’ performances, their facial expressions and even background music. With the advancement of cinematography, filmmakers invented 3D (three dimensional), 4D and even 5D movies. This provides fully immersive, totally convincing virtual reality for people and further enhances the experiences of the stories. In contrast, books just use numerous words to express the plots and feelings without any images and sounds. It might be very abstract for people who cannot understand the true intentions of the author. If readers cannot understand the contents very well, they will not comprehend the ideas that writers intend to convey. Compared to long-windedness in books, it is audio-visual experiences from movies that engage people interests, leaving them a more profound impression about what happened. So, watching movies first is better.

　　Furthermore, watching movies is more efficient and will arouse people’s interests to read the book. As we all know, it takes people about two hours to watch a movie, whereas, people have to spend a few weeks or even months to finish reading a whole book. From the perspective of time, watching movies is time-saving. Besides, after watching a movie, people can get a general picture about the corresponding book. If people are attracted by the movie, they will read the book, while they can choose to give up the book if they are not interested in the movie. It is undeniable that some plots would be adapted and even be abridged when they are performed in the movie. But, in this way, our imagination can be fully stimulated and this people will be intrigued with what talk about in the book. Then, after watching the movie, people will full of curiosities to explore the contents in the book. In fact, some books are rarely known by people, but after making movies based on these books, these books become increasingly best-selling. Therefore, I prefer to watch movies before reading books.

　　In general, although the plots in the book are more coherent and accurate, the slight adaptations in the movie do not affect the understanding of the theme of entire the story. I still hold the opinion that watching the movie before people read the book is better because the watching movies is more vivid and efficient.

　　范文翻译：

　　读书和看电影是两种最常见的娱乐方式。如今，越来越多的畅销书被电影制作人改编成电影。在书和电影并存的情况下，有些人宁愿在看电影前读这本书。其他人在看了这部电影后愿意看这本书。依我看，我会选择后者。

　　首先，看电影更容易被人们理解，而且更生动。电影从视觉和听觉等多个方面呈现故事。人们可以从演员的表演、面部表情甚至背景音乐中感受人物的情感。随着电影摄影技术的进步，电影制作人发明了3D(三维)、4D甚至5D电影。这为人们提供了完全身临其境、完全令人信服的虚拟现实，并进一步提高了故事的体验。相反，书籍只是用大量的文字来表达情节和情感，而没有任何图像和声音。对那些不能理解作者真实意图的人来说，这可能是非常抽象的。如果读者不能很好地理解这些内容，他们就不会理解作者打算传达的观点。相比于书中长篇大论，这是从电影，搞的人的利益的视听体验，使他们对所发生的事情印象更深刻。所以，先看电影比较好。

　　此外，看电影更有效率，会引起人们阅读这本书的兴趣。我们都知道，人们看电影要花两个小时，然而，人们必须花上几个星期甚至几个月的时间读完一本书。从时间的角度看，看电影是省时的。此外，看完电影后，人们可以大致了解相应的书。如果人们被这部电影吸引，他们会读这本书，而如果他们对这部电影不感兴趣的话，他们可以选择放弃这本书。不可否认，有些情节在电影中被改编，甚至被删节。但是，这样，我们的想象力就会得到充分的刺激，人们会对书中所说的东西产生兴趣。然后，看完电影后，人们会充满好奇心去探索书中的内容。事实上，有些书很少为人所知，但在以这些书为基础制作电影之后，这些书变得越来越畅销。因此，我更喜欢在看书之前看电影。

　　总的来说，虽然书中的情节更加连贯和准确，但电影中的细微变化并不影响整个故事主题的理解。我仍然认为在人们读这本书之前看电影比较好，因为看电影更生动，更有效。

　　经过了范文学习的过程，我们就可以开始针对不同话题的文章思考自己的观点，列出提纲，寻找supporting details。这样，在做好了充分的准备后，我们就可以有准备地开始真正的练笔阶段。特别要说明的是，如果同学们没有好的模拟写作小软件，建议使用windows自带的写字板，切忌使用Microsoft Word等具有纠错功能的软件进行模拟写作。在练笔的最初阶段可以不计时间，但熟悉了写作的流程后一定要每次写作都计时，模拟真实的考试环境。

　　Integrated writing部分是听力和写作的结合，不需要大家发表个人观点，因此考察的是听力能力和复述的能力。在听力前的三分钟要认真阅读题目中的文字，文字中会有3个支持文字观点的论据，听力则会针对这三个观点逐个展开。对于听力部分，同样提醒大家要多做笔记，记住细节，在作文展开中体现出来。
