新托福写作应该如何提高?作为一门国外类的考试的一部分，写作时候的用词表达就非常重要。恰当而富有特色的表达往往能够增加词汇的鲜活力。我们常常在看老外的文章时会发现，他们的一篇文章用，名词出现的概率相当的高。不仅如此，对名词喜爱的程度更是到了把动词都要名词化，而且经常性的使用抽象名词，因此在写作时，如果能够投其所好，自然能够得到加分。

简单说，名词化即是动词或形容词被用作名词的现象。比如动词转成名词：discovery->discovery, move->movement, refuse->refusal,又比如形容词转成名词：careless->carelessness, difficult->difficulty, intense->intensity.那么什么情况下，我们需要进行名词化呢?

A.谓语动词的宾语部分

原句：I do not know either what she meant or what he intends.

名词化：I do not know either her meaning or his intentions.

B.结合被动形式

原句：If people decide without enough persuasive information,…

名词化：If a decision is made without enough persuasive information,…

C.取代诸如从句中"the fact that"的用法

原句：The fact that I denied what he accused me of impressed the jury.

名词化：My denial of his accusations impressed the jury.

更好的名词化：a. When I denied his accusations, I impressed the jury.

b. In denying his accusations, I impressed the jury.

D.名词化部分用在there is/are的后面

原句：We demand that the government stop taxing entertainment.

名词化：There is a demand for an end to taxation on entertainment.

原句：The floods considerably eroded the land.

名词化：There was considerable erosion of the land from the floods.

然而，有些时候，在我们的新托福写作方式中认为理所应当使用"名词化"时，老外认为是没有必要的。比如：

A. 名词化部分跟在动词后面

原句(名词化"冗余")：The police conducted an investigation into the matter.

改后：The police investigated the matter.

B.名词化部分作为主语

原句：Our discussion is concerned with a tax cut.

改后：We discussed a tax cut.

C.连续进行名词化

原句：a. First, she reviewed the evolution of the dorsal fin.

b. There was a first a review of the evolution of the dorsal fin.

改后：First, she reviewed how the dorsal fin evolved.

D.连接部分名词化

原句：Their cessation of hostilities was because of their personnel losses.

改后：They ceased hostilities because they lost personnel.

原句：The instability of the motor housing did not preclude the completion of the field trials.

改后：Even though the motor housing was unstable, the research staff completed the field trials.

因为中国的传统习惯是在组句中以动词为主，因此在新托福写作的过程中，如何转到地道的表达对大家来说可能是一件比较困难的一件事，不过任何事情只要做了，就有可能发生。相信同学们勤加苦练必然能有所收获。
