2016年5月7日托福写作考试解析

综合写作

　　Reading：

　　1) O这个地方的商人在地中海和别人交易的时候，他们的物品were native to南亚，尤其是rare wood和ivory;

　　2) 从地中海到O地要花一年半时间才能航行结束，正好跟南亚到地中海的距离相匹配(Consistent with the idea that O is located in SA);

　　3) the words for the goods in the eastern地中海are similar with the items in SA language

　　Listening:

　　1) O可以做为一个trading center，来自不同的地方的物品在这里转运到其他地方；

　　2) 以前的航海术（navigating technology primitive）不发达，需要频繁停靠（frequently stop），所以段距离也要花很长时间；

　　3) 一些词的相同不足说明问题，因为澳大利亚和英国对狗都用同一个词，但是之前并没有contact，因为可能这些小相似只是巧合。

　　独立写作

　　Which one do you prefer: 1) a company offering you a job with challenging and interesting project but less vacation days; 2) another company offering you a job that is not so challenging and interesting but more vacation days.

　　选择有趣有挑战的工作但是假期少还是多假无聊少挑战的公司

　　这个题目属于工作类话题，属于常考话题。之前出现过类似的题目：是否同意低薪假期多的工作比高薪假期少的工作好(09.02.27)? 对于这类工作类话题的理由点很固定，一般就是从工作的成就感、幸福点以及自己今后的职业规划方向相联系；这类话题比较简单，可以联系自己目前在做的工作或以后自己的实际情况进行写作。此类话题可以通过牢记上课学过的工作类专题词汇进行写作！

　　Most people pursue a good life for their whole life, during which a decent job can contribute a lot to their happiness and satisfaction. To a greater extent, a good job can sometimes determine their future blueprint and life direction. To be specific, many factors can account for their lasting gratification. Although a boring job with more vacation and less challenges surely imposes less stress and strain on one’s normal life, the interesting and challenging ones with less vacation time can serve as a guarantee for a lasting sound and happy mood.

　　It’s true that the interesting and challenging job offers people less time to spare on other things, such as accompanying family members and friends, going for a trip and improving oneself in certain realm, etc. However, when it comes to the long-term and sustainable development for a person, the sense of gratification and achievement is the most valued and cherished quality of a person. The lack of vacation can be accumulated for a longer one.

　　What’s the most important, the interesting and challenging job can provide one with more refreshing and heart-touching moment and feeling, which in turn contributes to their specific happiness. It is better to get up with the unknown challenging job waiting for one than to get up with the usual or even bored feeling to do the routine work. It is believed that one will work hard enough for quite a time to earn something for them, such a long-waited vacation. Usually, people will feel more relaxed after a long-time working period than those who enjoy frequent vacations. Nowadays, most post-90s and 00s prefer to choose what they find interesting and challenging instead of the routine ones, for they relish the sense of achievement. Most of them will not take the road assigned by their parents, who always hold that a job should be stable and no challenges. However, in the long run, the more challenging and interesting one will ensure a happy life instead of a life with blames.

　　Furthermore, the interesting and challenging job can help people boost their career path, during which one can learn more and faster. In this way, people can grow up quickly. Once people get interested in one thing, he/she will surely want to learn more about it. People can keep abreast of the latest updates and become an expert in this field. One can in turn get more satisfaction from this kind of job, which will definitely help one to enjoy the trip. During the trip, one can feel the utmost joy, which will further augment his job in the next stage. Otherwise, people will get used to the less challenging ones, for people are inclined to procrastinate their work or project. With days coming by, one will not truly improve themselves in some respects. Therefore, a job with less vacation cannot be a problem for one who really wants to grow up in his job.

　　In a word, a life-long happiness counts most for everyone, which can be gained from a more challenging and interesting job. Moreover, it can also help people grow and mature in the long run.
