托福写作和雅思写作差异区别对比分析
雅思写作题型特征介绍
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。
托福写作出题特点分析
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，在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。
托福写作更重视情境
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。

写作参考一:
Currently, with the competition in the job market becoming increasingly fierce, the job-hunting has been brought under the spotlight of the mass media. The senior and experts strongly proposed that young people should try different jobs before taking a lifelong career, while the youngsters may hold the opposite viewpoint. As far as I am concerned, the former view is more reasonable, with the reasons listed below.
In the first place, different jobs will equip the young with multiple skills and professional knowledge in various fields. As we know, the completion of every job, simple or complex, requires differing abilities and expertise in certain area. As a result, young adults who take different jobs will grasp the knowledge in a new area and increase their potential capability to a large extent, thus having the well-rounded development. To be specific, to be a waiter or waitress in a restaurant enables us to cultivate interpersonal skills since we may encounter tons of people from all walks of life. Being a manager will help to improve the organizational skills and leadership, because the successful running of a department depends on the ability of leaders. Undoubtedly, those people with more than one skills will have an edge over other competitors in the future job market.
In addition, another conspicuous benefit of taking different jobs before you settle on the lifelong career is that the young have the chances to find the most suitable position. It is never uncommon to hear that many employees who have worked for three or more years complain that the work they take is not what they are good at or what they like. Consequently, their enthusiasm or passion for their jobs is relatively in a low level, which has negative influence on the development of themselves and their company. The best way to deal with the above problem is to allow youngsters to try different types of work at first and take the one which suits them most. The experience of my friend, Kozer, is a good case in point. After graduating from the department of foreign languages in Beijing University, Kozer was recruited by a Foreign Trade Corporation due to his excellent English. Unfortunately, he was too introverted to communicate well with strangers, especially with foreigners. Then he resigned from the position and became a teacher in a high school. The same problem occurred again. Finally, realizing his own strengths and weaknesses from the above failures, he found that the most suitable position for himself was to be an editor for China Daily, the most famous English newspaper, because there was no need to talk with many people in this job.
Admittedly, some opponents may assert that it is not necessary for young adults to try different jobs, because it will waste lots of time and even make them miss out some opportunities. However, the above reasoning is far from the truth. To illustrate, only when we have experienced several different kinds of work can we find the one which most fits for us. So the time spent on every try is worthwhile.
In a nutshell, it is safe to conclude that young people should try different jobs before they take a long-term career, in order to gain more skills and find the most suitable position. (By Zhaobo，548words)

The benefits and drawbacks of job hopping have never failed to be the center of debate among employees and employers, and human resource managers of corporations. While some people believe that constant job hopping brings more benefits than pitfalls, others state that the disadvantages of switching between jobs before settling down greatly outweigh the benefits. Personally, I think trying out different positions is beneficial to one’s future career based on the following reasons.
Admittedly, switching between jobs will make your employers suspicious about your judgment and question your commitment and loyalty to the company, however, the taking different jobs gives a professional countless benefits, like diverse background, broadened social network, better compensation and benefits, etc.
First off, more job experience provides an individual exposure to different industries and more professional experience, eventually it is conducive for someone to find his or her real expectation and ultimate career goal in the long run. In a small company, employees might have intimate and close friendships with each other, and there is no standard procedure of daily business operation. However, in a colossal corporation, employees have a clear professional boundary and they have to follow strict regulations and procedures when conducting business. Having a chance to work in both small and big companies will help individuals to know which type of company fits them best and they can choose their future career according to their preference. Also, having working experience in different industries and various sized companies makes the employees more flexible and adaptable in distinctive working environments. Future employees will value those who have exposure to a variety of challenges and can bring new ideas and changes to the company.
Additionally, working in different companies and industries gives an individual more opportunities to explore new social networks and thus enjoy a much more promising career in the near future. An individual can expand his or her social and professional networks after having worked in different places, where one can plant roots and farm relationships and eventually these connections will prove to be very helpful in the near future. This is especially true in today’s overly competitive job market, a dynamic and active professional network will probably help you to land better jobs in the future.
In conclusion, it is more advisable to take different jobs before settling down permanently since it brings more exposure in different industries, rich professional experience and a more dynamic professional connection.
