小托福（TOEFL Junior）則是專(zhuān)為全球11-17歲的中小學(xué)生開(kāi)發(fā)的英語(yǔ)能力測(cè)試。它主要評(píng)估學(xué)生在日常生活和學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)中的英語(yǔ)聽(tīng)、說(shuō)、讀、寫(xiě)能力，并幫助他們了解自己在全球英語(yǔ)水平中的位置。小托福的成績(jī)可以作為學(xué)生英語(yǔ)能力的證明，也可以作為他們申請(qǐng)國(guó)際學(xué)校或參加英語(yǔ)課程的參考。此外，小托福還可以幫助學(xué)生提前適應(yīng)托?？荚嚨母袷胶鸵螅瑸樗麄儗?lái)參加托?？荚囎龊脺?zhǔn)備。

托福寫(xiě)作用詞要注意什么?

擅用名詞化不僅體現(xiàn)了寫(xiě)作水平，更是一種思維方式。同學(xué)們?cè)谄綍r(shí)托福培訓(xùn)的訓(xùn)練中要注意：

A 謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的賓語(yǔ)部分

原句：I do not know either what she meant or what he intends.

名詞化：I do not know either her meaning or his intentions.

B 結(jié)合被動(dòng)形式

原句：If people decide without enough persuasive information，...

名詞化：If a decision is made without enough persuasive information，...

C 取代諸如從句中“the fact that”的用法

原句：The fact that I denied what he accused me of impressed the jury.

名詞化：My denial of his accusations impressed the jury.

更好的名詞化：

a. When I denied his accusations， I impressed the jury.

b. In denying his accusations， I impressed the jury.

D 名詞化部分用在there is/are的后面

原句：We demand that the government stop taxing entertainment.

名詞化：There is a demand for an end to taxation on entertainment.

原句：The floods considerably eroded the land.

名詞化：There was considerable erosion of the land from the floods.

然而，有些時(shí)候，在我們的思維方式中認(rèn)為理所應(yīng)當(dāng)使用“名詞化”時(shí)，老外認(rèn)為是沒(méi)有必要的。

比如：

A 名詞化部分跟在動(dòng)詞后面

原句(名詞化“冗余”)：The police conducted an investigation into the matter.

改后：The police investigated the matter.

B 名詞化部分作為主語(yǔ)

原句：Our discussion is concerned with a tax cut.

改后：We discussed a tax cut.

C 連續(xù)進(jìn)行名詞化

原句：
a. First， she reviewed the evolution of the dorsal fin.

b. There was a first a review of the evolution of the dorsal fin.

改后：First， she reviewed how the dorsal fin evolved.

D 連接部分名詞化

原句：Their cessation of hostilities was because of their personnel losses.

改后：They ceased hostilities because they lost personnel.

原句：The instability of the motor housing did not preclude the completion of the field trials.

改后：Even though the motor housing was unstable， the research staff completed the field trials.
