新托福与雅思大作文异同点
发布:北京雅思培训学校 点击数:发布时间:20##-1-23 16:17:38
新托福网考自登陆以来,在整个留学英语考试市场掀起了轩然大波。而新托福考试在考试形式方面的改革也为所有人津津乐道。虽然从本质上来说,新托福考试和老托福考试相比,增加了交流技能的考核,但是在形式上,相比雅思对于交流技能的考核和评定还是有着比较明显的区别的。将分三个方面阐述雅思和新托福在写作考试中对于议论文的考试形式和交流技能评定的异同之处。在本文中,笔者将重点着眼于两者在考试形式方面的差别。
关键字:写作的输入要求、时间要求、字数要求和分值比例
在雅思考试中,除了口语外的三门学科都是采取笔试的形式。写作任务中的议论文部分则要求考生在40分钟内写一篇至少为250个词的文章。参加过培训或者实际考试的考生都知道,老师在培训的过程中常常会让学生留45分钟左右的时间来写议论文。因为相对雅思写作任务中的另一项---图表描述作文来说,议论文所需要的构思时间和思考表达方法的时间都要长一些。而在字数方面,雅思考试也有着比较严格的要求。一般如果写不到规定的字数,考官会认为考生没有完全完成任务,没有提供足够多的语言资料来让考官评判考生的英语水平,有的考生也会因此而在考试中失分。因为雅思写作的两个部分在写作总分计算的时候所取的比例不相同---图表作文1/3;议论文2/3,议论文成为了教师培训和学生学习的重点。
新托福考试在写作的考试形式上则略有不同。从议论文角度来讲,它要求考生在30分钟内完成一篇至少300个词的文章。这个“30分钟”的要求是不可变的。也就是说,考生即使在第一部分的综合写作任务中没有用满规定的20分钟时间来完成,那节省下来的时间也不可能被叠加到第二个部分的独立写作任务,也就是议论文的写作中去。所以单从考试时间和字数要求上来看,似乎新托福要比雅思更严格一些。但是,朗阁海外考试研究中心的老师分析了新托福满分范文后却发现,很多文章都没有达到300个词的最少字数,却一样得到了满分。可见,新托福可能更注重议论的方式和语言的质量,而不是一味在字数上做文章。另外,新托福写作考试的两个部分满分均为5分,考生最后的得分是平均了这两个写作任务的得分后得出的。而目前考生对综合写作任务的掌握情况比较陌生和不适应。相反,对于议论的逻辑和方式则比较能够掌握,所以,新托福的教师和考生至少在这两个任务上要花相同的精力去应对。甚至,在综合技能写作上花的时间要更多一些。
值得一提的是,新托福考试的宗旨是最大程度模拟考生在海外学习过程中会遇到的情境(Academic Settings),因此采用的是电脑键盘输入的方式。这一方式对于考生来说既有优点又有缺点。优点是:因为考官在评分过程中会考虑到考生写的议论文是第一稿,所以很多小的拼写错误,甚至是不影响理解的语法错误都不会导致考生直接失分。而缺点为:很多考生因为不熟悉键盘输入的方法或者盲打的方法而导致在考试中遭遇表达障碍。
