题目比较恶心。。。可以无视。。。呵呵。。。（因为我的电脑问题，所以每次要登陆CD都要重新注册，虽然貌似此帖是我的第一帖，我来CD也有1个多月了。。。也贡献了10 / 20 的机经，呵呵。。。） 事实上，我是今年刚高三毕业，因为想报考美国大学，就放弃了国内大学的录取，所以只能算半个高中生吧。。。 高考完后（高考英语是136）才第一次接触托福（之前对托福的印象是高深莫测的），暑假在上海读了新东方，之后就在家里准备了。。。 说实话，当初去考试的原因是寄希望碰到与2天前一样的题目，所以之前没有特别突击就稀里糊涂考了自己人生的第一次托福。所以拿到这个成绩是很惊讶的（虽然口语很差啊。。。3个sections全是fair），原本认为有90分以上就算上上签了。。。所以大家要有信心啊。。。 我的阅读是加试，然而成绩是最出乎我意料的。考试当天，做阅读时有警报不间歇地响起（貌似有人卡在电梯里了），所以做阅读时很分心。尤其是做第一篇最难的阅读comperative education（详情可查看机经）时，因为时间不够，后面的题目全靠猜的，基本连原文也没读。但这篇有貌似是计分的，唉，看来我们永远都不知道ETS在想些什么。。。阅读基本没有什么心得，告诫高中生的就是要多背词汇。高中毕业时我的词汇量大约3500，现在基本6000，考试也够用了，只是个别词汇题可能要靠猜。平时训练要3篇、5篇掐时间一起做，不然考试的时候会晕。另外还要训练自己在阅读时第一遍读就能够读清晰地理解原文意思，有时读太快跳过了某些细节，做题时要重新再读一遍实际上是很浪费时间的。最后推荐每读完一段，做相应的题目，读完全文再做题同样浪费时间，因为某些细节很容易遗忘（个人观点）。。。 我的听力一向问题不大，做过2002年某月的全套听力题（因为比较清晰），错了3个，其他的PBT真题的Section 2 & 3一般错2-3个。考试时听力不怎么做笔记，因为我如果做了太多笔记会分心，毕竟6分钟的内容人脑还是能够记忆和容纳的，所以记笔记要记精华，比如数字（但考试基本不考）、方向方位、某事物的2、3要素（多选题必考）、某事物的发展流程（排顺序题必考，考试时就遇到一道）等等，这些其实也是要重点仔细听的内容。所以long dialogue就不怎么需要记笔记（个人观点）。平时训练时与阅读一样，我认为要2、3个section一起听（45 - 75min），不然考试的时候无法集中注意力。。。 口语分数大家可以无视，实在是太差了，多半原因是我讲得太快了，抑或者讲得不够严谨。。。Anyway。。。还是别误导大家了。。。 其实我一直对自己的作文比较满意，虽然高三时写英语作文没有被拿来当范文。Intergrated Task就是套模版+听懂听力+用自己的语言概括阅读+鲜有拼写、语法错误，就没什么大问题了。对于Independent Task，个人感觉比较有心得，稍微拿来与大家分享，呵呵。。。 怎样写一篇托福作文（个人观点&经验）。。。
（1）准备好与自己文风相符合的开头模版。（个人在论点与结论不用模版。考试的时候不应在开头花费过长的时间，如果想好论点+写完开头就花了10分钟，势必会严重影响之后的发挥。）
（2）多加定语从句，并要多变化。For instance: But on the other hand, other people, who are willing to expend time with their families, may lag behind the modern technology. = But on the other hand, other people, being willing to spend time with their families, may lag behind the modern technology. = But on the other hand, other people, with the willingness to spend time with their families, may lag behind the modern technology. 可能不是最恰当，但我要表达意图是明显的。
（3）多用类似on the other hand, as a case in point, in other words, accordingly, nevetheless, from my own viewpoint, in addition to等等的插入语，使每句话更复杂，in other word，使每句话的逗号多起来。（个人认为使句子“看起来”复杂是很重要的）
（4）积累同义词：important = major = crucial = significant = vital = essential = chief = critical = foremost = leading = of great significance / importance & very = extremely = absolutely = exceedingly = extraordinary = incredibly / unbelievably = enormously / hugely等等，这两个是每篇托福作文都要用到的，所以记住一定有利无弊。至于其他的同义词一定要自己积累，平时也要多加背诵才能在考试中运用自如。 以上便是我总结的个人最精华的作文经验，呵呵。。。不知大家意向如何。。。下面贴一篇我在家40分钟写完的作文（写作风格与考试当天基本相同，但词汇与字数稍高一些，考试当天470个字左右），仅供参考，大家排砖，呵呵。。。 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement （貌似最近托福作文全部都是这样的套路。江郎才尽了？）：Most advertisement would like to make product seem better than what they really are. （10月18日真题）
Advertisement, with the development of printing and TV transmission technology, has become an cardinal source from which consumers gain information of a wide range of products. Although the intention of the advertisement is to provide customers with genuine information of certain product, unfortunately, sometimes this is only a goal to work towards and not a description which shows the truth. From my own perspective, I subscribe to the statement that most advertisements would like to make product seem better than what they really are.
Have you ever had such experiences: the merchandise you bought is not as wonderful as what you've seen on the TV advertisement? Maybe the hamburger is much smaller than what it seems to be in the commercial, maybe the gem or diamond is not as shining as it supposed to be, maybe the clothes will never be prettier than those displayed in the shop windows. Using the technique of photographing and computer software, the merchandiser make their product more gorgeous, more attractive and more exquisite in order to mislead or even deceive the consumers to purchase their product and as a result, enhance their profit. The brightest of all things, the sun, has its spots. Nevertheless, it seems that such proverb can never be applied to the commodity in the advertisement. Nearly all the merchandises seen in the TV are faultless or ideal without any defect and weakness. Will any commercial ever say that there is some minor flaw in the product? As a matter of fact, the business men, being greedy and materialistic, distort the truth by magnifying the merit and shrinking or even concealing the potential setback in the merchandises. A pizza which is tasty may contain too much fat and calorie that is definitely bad for your health. A vase which is glittering and translucent may be brittle and easily broken. A car which can increase its speed in a few seconds may consume a large quantity of gasoline. The customers will suffer a great loss due to the untrue information provided in the TV commercial. Furthermore, some advertisements, especially those infomercials, exaggerate and even make up the function of the commodity and tempt consumers into purchasing their goods. In the infomercials, the producer may hire some people to introduce the advantage of the products and attempt to persuade the audience to buy the product, though those people possibly have never used it before. Certain cosmetic, by way of illustration, which can only be used to cover the fleck on your skin, will be depicted as a wonder make-up that can provide you nothing but an ideal skin. There are numerous victims complaining that how they are deceived by the advertisement and ask the company for refund. In a word, advertisements convey false information to the customers so as to persuade them to purchase the goods. It seems that the definition of the advertisement has changed owing to those merchandisers pursuing the profit. As a consequence, I totally concur with the statement that most advertisement would like to make product seem better than what they really are.
最后还要嘱咐大家，在阅读与听力中每个section之间屏幕会出现画面要你按continue继续，你可以稍做休息与调整，不用急着按continue，当然想早些考完的除外，因为我当天就是最后一个出的考场。。。
好了，发泄完了。。。大家有疑问的话可以回帖。。。最后祝愿大家在托福考试中取得更好的成绩！！！
ps：我开始写这篇文章时是6：30，写完这篇已经9：00啦。。。（Q1: What can you infer from the left setence?）
