對于托福獨(dú)立寫作來說,考官考察文章的原則是:“Readers should focus on what the examinee does well?!睆倪@里我們可以看出,整個(gè)過程不是考察考生表現(xiàn)出的優(yōu)點(diǎn)過程,這里要求我們需要寫出足夠的字?jǐn)?shù)。那么我們應(yīng)該把作文字?jǐn)?shù)控制在多少合適呢?還是字?jǐn)?shù)越多越高分呢?
ETS對于托福獨(dú)立寫作的評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)OG上是這么說的:“An effective response is typically about 300 words long。 If you write fewer than 300 words,you may still receive a top score,but experience has shown that shorter responses typically do not demonstrate the development of ideas needed to earn a score of 5?!?br>
這個(gè)很明顯的讓考生看到,一篇杰出的作文,考生更好是要將文章寫到300字以上。當(dāng)然了,有些文章的字?jǐn)?shù)沒有達(dá)到300,但依然是滿分,這種情況畢竟是少數(shù)。對于托福寫作滿分作文,按照評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)里的要求是:它肯定是對于考題充分的展開了論述,有利的支持文章的觀點(diǎn),還有就是充足的字?jǐn)?shù)。
