2018年托福獨立寫作范文賞析

　　獨立寫作題目：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.

　　范文翻譯：

　　讀書和看電影是兩種最常見的娛樂方式。如今，越來越多的暢銷書被電影制作人改編成電影。在書和電影并存的情況下，有些人寧愿在看電影前讀這本書。其他人在看了這部電影后愿意看這本書。依我看，我會選擇后者。

　　首先，看電影更容易被人們理解，而且更生動。電影從視覺和聽覺等多個方面呈現(xiàn)故事。人們可以從演員的表演、面部表情甚至背景音樂中感受人物的情感。隨著電影攝影技術(shù)的進步，電影制作人發(fā)明了3D(三維)、4D甚至5D電影。這為人們提供了完全身臨其境、完全令人信服的虛擬現(xiàn)實，并進一步提高了故事的體驗。相反，書籍只是用大量的文字來表達情節(jié)和情感，而沒有任何圖像和聲音。對那些不能理解作者真實意圖的人來說，這可能是非常抽象的。如果讀者不能很好地理解這些內(nèi)容，他們就不會理解作者打算傳達的觀點。相比于書中長篇大論，這是從電影，搞的人的利益的視聽體驗，使他們對所發(fā)生的事情印象更深刻。所以，先看電影比較好。

　　此外，看電影更有效率，會引起人們閱讀這本書的興趣。我們都知道，人們看電影要花兩個小時，然而，人們必須花上幾個星期甚至幾個月的時間讀完一本書。從時間的角度看，看電影是省時的。此外，看完電影后，人們可以大致了解相應(yīng)的書。如果人們被這部電影吸引，他們會讀這本書，而如果他們對這部電影不感興趣的話，他們可以選擇放棄這本書。不可否認(rèn)，有些情節(jié)在電影中被改編，甚至被刪節(jié)。但是，這樣，我們的想象力就會得到充分的刺激，人們會對書中所說的東西產(chǎn)生興趣。然后，看完電影后，人們會充滿好奇心去探索書中的內(nèi)容。事實上，有些書很少為人所知，但在以這些書為基礎(chǔ)制作電影之后，這些書變得越來越暢銷。因此，我更喜歡在看書之前看電影。

　　總的來說，雖然書中的情節(jié)更加連貫和準(zhǔn)確，但電影中的細微變化并不影響整個故事主題的理解。我仍然認(rèn)為在人們讀這本書之前看電影比較好，因為看電影更生動，更有效。

　　經(jīng)過了范文學(xué)習(xí)的過程，我們就可以開始針對不同話題的文章思考自己的觀點，列出提綱，尋找supporting details。這樣，在做好了充分的準(zhǔn)備后，我們就可以有準(zhǔn)備地開始真正的練筆階段。特別要說明的是，如果同學(xué)們沒有好的模擬寫作小軟件，建議使用windows自帶的寫字板，切忌使用Microsoft Word等具有糾錯功能的軟件進行模擬寫作。在練筆的最初階段可以不計時間，但熟悉了寫作的流程后一定要每次寫作都計時，模擬真實的考試環(huán)境。

　　Integrated writing部分是聽力和寫作的結(jié)合，不需要大家發(fā)表個人觀點，因此考察的是聽力能力和復(fù)述的能力。在聽力前的三分鐘要認(rèn)真閱讀題目中的文字，文字中會有3個支持文字觀點的論據(jù)，聽力則會針對這三個觀點逐個展開。對于聽力部分，同樣提醒大家要多做筆記，記住細節(jié)，在作文展開中體現(xiàn)出來。
