托福北美范文(篇一)

As for me, studying only three or four subjects appears to be a better choice and the listed reasons and examples will support what I believe.

To begin with, current young students have been under enormous pressure, doing great harm to their growth, and there is no need to impose too much pressure on them. To be more specific, to strengthen students’ future competitiveness in the society, most schools have expected to forge students’ various capacities since they were young by arranging a huge number of curriculums. What an ordinary high school student has to experience in his one-day school life can demonstrate how depressed and exhausted present high school students are. Getting up as early as 6AM has become common in recent two decades. Afterwards, a whole-day study will include various compulsory and optional courses like Mathematics that leads to intellectual stimulation or History that demands students to attempt to memorize historic events and relative effects as many as possible. When class is over, it is still far away from ending one-day study since lots of assignments such as the short essays or scientific researches need to be finished. Evidently, students suffer from the huge pressure from study, leading many of them to wear glasses at a young age and to be drained physically and mentally everyday. Thus, students are not supposed to be ordered to study many courses at a time.

To be followed, the inadequacy of enough leisure time will contribute students to have no chances to engage in what they interested in. High school students are still involved in an age during which they should exploit their own interests to decide which area they will choose when going to college in their near future. However, like I mentioned in the previous statement, to meet the requirements set by school; students have no option but to immerse themselves in a number of assignments and the freedom to pursue their own hobbies has been deprived. It is known to all that interest plays a leading role in assisting people to choose their future career and a recent released statistic in a survey conducted by Beijing Human Resource General Bureau indicates that approximately 67 percent of college undergraduates switch their professions from their major-related areas to what they are truly interested in their third year after graduation. In addition, many of the respondents claim that they are not satisfied with the current educational system, requiring students to study a wide range of curriculums, because it entirely downplays the importance of cultivating students’ hobbies and they believe that the earlier students can discover their interest, the more setbacks they can avoid when choosing future majors in the university and upcoming professors after graduation. A friend I know named Andy refused to become a mechanical engineer since he was bored to stay in the office building and finally chose to become a teacher in a educational institute since he can apply his passion and extrovert personality into the profession. Accordingly, student should be given more opportunities to develop their own hobbies to explore what they love.

[导入]美国被世界熟悉，不仅因为它是经济强国，同时也是世界军事强国，到处充当着世界警察的角色。那么，美国在哪里？它的自然地理环境具有什么特征，今天开始我们就来学习：北美地区和美国。

一、北美的位置和范围

地理位置特征的描述：海陆位置；经纬度位置；半球位置

二、自然地理特征（从地形、气候、水文三方面了解）

1、地形

[归纳]通过剖面图归纳：

地形特点：东西高，中部低；以山地、平原为主

北美地形南北纵列，分为三个地形区：西部高山区、中部平原区、东部高原山地区；地势中间低，东西两侧高；冰川地形广布。

（1）西部高山区—高大褶皱山系，山脉与盆地、高原相间

成因：美洲板块和太平洋板块相互碰撞、挤压，在北美大陆西侧形成一系列高大的平行山脉，它们构成了美洲科迪勒拉山系的北段。

特点：①以落基山脉为主，几条平行并列的南北走向的山脉组成，山脉之间分布有宽广的盆地和高原。②地壳不稳定，多火山、地震（由于位于板块交界地带，是环太平洋火山、地震带的一部分）。③这些山脉隆起的年代较晚（中生代），许多山峰海拔在4000米以上。

（2）中部平原区—平原广阔纵贯，冰川湖泊众多

中部平原北起北冰洋沿岸，南抵墨西哥湾沿岸。面积宽广，地形平坦，叫做中央大平原。平原西部是地势较低的大平原；平原北部湖泊众多，多为第四纪冰川活动的产物；南部是密西西比河冲积平原。

（3）东部高原山地区—古老的高原山地

在加拿大境内有拉布拉多高原，在美国境内有阿巴拉契亚山脉，东部的高原、山地形成年代早，久经侵蚀，海拔较低，海拔多在1000米以下。

3、气候

[归纳]温带大陆性气候为主

（1）主要特点：北美大部分地区位于北回归线以北，温带大陆性气候面积广大。冬冷夏热，气温年较差大。夏季降水稍多，适宜农牧业的发展。

（2）主要类型及分布：本区除温带大陆性气候外，在北冰洋沿岸有寒冷的极地气候。在太平洋沿岸有温带海洋性气候和地中海气候，受地形的影响，呈带状南北延伸，仅分布在沿海地带。墨西哥湾北部是亚热带季风性湿润气候，西部还有小面积的高山气候和热带沙漠气候。

地形对气候的影响：

北美气候受地形影响明显，主要表现在气温和降水两方面。

（1）对降水的影响：①北美西部高大山脉南北纵列，来自太平洋的湿润气流受高山阻挡，在西侧形成地形雨，使太平洋沿岸为多雨的湿润区（温带海洋性气候、地中海气候）；②山脉东侧水汽主要来自大西洋，东部低缓的山地对大西洋水汽的阻挡作用不明显，降水由东部沿海（亚热带季风性湿润气候和温带落叶阔叶林气候）向内陆逐渐减少（温带草原气候、亚热带草原和沙漠气候）；落基山与海岸山脉之间的高原、盆地，因地形闭塞，降水较少，成为半干旱区（温带沙漠气候）。体现了自然带的从沿海向内陆地域分异（经度地带性）规律。

（2）对气温的影响：中央大平原贯通南北，冬季极地冷气流可以从北冰洋上空长驱直达墨西哥湾沿岸，导致沿途气温急速下降。所以墨西哥湾沿岸仍可受到寒潮的影响。夏季，墨西哥湾的暖湿气流也可以自由北上，使中部和东部普遍暖热。冬季气温普遍偏低，夏季普遍暖热，使北美地区温差较大，大陆性特征明显。

For me I think it is the history. For I am a Chinese and we have so long of it. There simply is too much to remember. And the years, the names, the places, the events all became tangled up once you learn beyond 3 or 4 dynasties and I don’t even remember we have how many of them. But I still think it important because what is going on in this country still bear traces from the past with or without our notice, although we’d like to say that we live in a new China. And I think learning history is a great way to understand this country that I am born into. (114)

I strongly believe that individuals, no matter adults or children, have the right to make decisions by themselves. So even children are vey young, they can choose to keep taking a musical instrument course or not, and should not be forced to do things consistent with their parents’ wishes. On the other hand, if children who do not want to keep learning such courses are forced to take them, they will not be happy and learn little. It is just a waste of time, energy and money.

托福北美范文(篇五)

The first issue to be addressed is whether increased labor costs justify large capital expenditures to improve the work environment. Clearly one could argue that if making the workplace safe would cost an exorbitant amount of money in comparison to leaving the workplace as is and paying slightly increased wages than it would not make sense to improve the work environment. For example, if making the workplace safe would cost $100 million versus additional payroll expenses of only $5,000 per year, it would make financial sense to simply pay the increased wages. No business or business owner with any sense would pay all that extra money just to save a couple dollars and improve employee health and relations. To consider this, a cost benefit analysis must be made. I also feel that although a cost benefit analysis should be the determining factor with regard to these decisions making financial sense, it may not be the determining factor with regard to making social, moral and ethical sense.

Coincident with most people's notion is my heartfelt belief that television advertising directed toward young children should not be allowed. Since the advent of television, advertising has permeated every corner and every minute of our life. It is not uncommon to observe the large amounts of television advertising aiming at innocent young children. My reasons for opposing advertising directed toward young children are as follows. In the first place, advertising may waste money and cause emotional torture of parents when they fail to fulfill their children's unreasonable demands. However, nowadays, regardless of what children's true need, most of advertising are promoting a largenumber of products that is useless or unsuitable to children. For example, when a family ishaving a pleasant dinner together on Christmas Eve, a cartoon figure lion king would appear on screen and hold a tub of popcorn to attract children's attention. It is a typical advertising strategy host sale. By combining popular cartoon figures and products, advertising could draw children's attention and achieve a better sale. However, it may cause some problems; first, some children may be easy to be drawn into the content in the advertising; second, if children are attracted by it and they insist on purchasing it while parents consider the products as a piece of meaningless junk, cry and screams could drive their parents crazy. Therefore, advertising could cause problems not only for children to understand but also may bother and upset their parents. Furthermore, advertising could mislead children for major goal of most of advertisings is to make profits whereas children between age two to five lack ability of understanding and judgment. Children are easily influenced by outside world, and admittedly television advertising play a negative role in this aspect for they tend to exaggerate the advantage of their products. For example, my two year old younger brother is attracted to Transformer, Spiderman and Superman models. In his mind, these toys are magic, fantastic and powerful as imparted by advertising. In fact, they are just normal toys; they cannot fly, climb mountains or save people's life. Some two year old boys even are just babbling instead of speaking clearly, not to mention identifying misleading messages conveyed in the advertisings. Thus, these advertising has misled and distorted children’s vision toward reality. All in all, though there are some undeniable benefits of advertising for children; for example, advertising could open an amazing world of imagination and innovation for children by informing them what a fabulous Barbie or a magnificent castle is. However, these advantages could be ignored when its disadvantages are taken into consideration. It would mislead the children, distort their vision toward reality and even cause quarrels and financial burdens for parents.

TPO1托福独立口语Task1满分范文：

Recently, I read a book named Keep the aspidistra flying written by George Orwell. The book influences me a lot because the story has something that touches my heart. The story talks about a man who wants to be a poet and who abandons many well-paying jobs to pursue his dream of being a poet. I have a similar experience of quitting a very good job in order to be a writer. Also, the man in the story is lack of money because he works as a bookstore assistant and thus has a very low salary. He lives in a shabby apartment and sometimes have no money to buy food. Again, I’ve got similar experience. I once lived in a cramped apartment alone and had no money. The book is important to me because it touches me and gives me encouragement to persist.
