托福作文短文【一】
按图表写，首先要读懂图表，理解其包含的信息。为此目的，应注意三点：第一是读懂标题，明白图表的目的；第二是研究图表主题，理解各项内容及其之间的联系；第三是注意图表的说明或图例，以免误解。总之，对图表的研究要仔细,理解和判断要准确，不能草率做出决定，以免在文章内容方面丢分。
读懂图表之后，立即思考文章应表达的内容。这里,我们应该明白两个制约因素：其一是作文写作时间只有二十多分钟，不可能长篇大论；其二是图表内容繁多，不可能一一说明，也不能写成枯燥无味的'流水账。考虑取舍时,应注意总的趋势，概貌，相互关系，典型的例子或数据，抓住这些之后，其他的内容实际上也包含在其中，不必再提及。
文章的写法没有固定的模式，但因题材的限制，变化太大也不可能。第一段必须说明图表的性质与目的，没有这一点，文章的主题难以突出。自然段的划分以清楚明了为原则，例如第一段谈图表的目的，其余自然段应当以所谈要点划分，最后一段可谈自己的理解和看法(也可不谈。写作时的关键是每个要点谈完后,应给出例证，把该说地说完,然后再进入下一要点，不能不顾文章条理,把想到的内容随便乱放。
再语言方式上，要注意句式的变化，尽量避免反复使用某一句型。再并列情况较多时，设法采用连结词或关系词将领岁的内容串在一起，为文章的主题服务。全文的思路可以用主题句，自然段,逻辑词等手法表明，使读者感到作者的思路清晰，感到全文是个有机的整体。遇到众多雷同的词汇短语时，能变化的尽量变化，无力变化时可用句式变化弥补。

The Lord and the Hermit
Once upon a time there was a rapacious lord. He was relentless to his tenants and quelled them by placing quotas to their living condition. Soon he collected quantitatively great revenue and lived in a radiate palace. He was also renowned for his queer clothes.
One day the lord’s disease relapsed, so he rallied his subordinates for help. One of them said: “I’ve heard of a recluse who knows regimen well residing nearby. Why not visit his residence for help?” Another retorted: “Be prudent, maybe it is only a rumor.” But the rash lord was filled with rapture and ratified the visiting plan.??
On the next Sunday, the lord purged himself, held a quaint rite and started for the hermit’s home. They passed rugged rustic passages full of paddles and the lord almost recoiled. Finally they arrived. The lord felt disappointed at the recluse’s reception, but he wouldn’t relinquish the chance and talked to the hermit with reverence.
The hermit ruminated and reverted to the main topic in a pungent voice: “I’ve heard lots of your ravenous deeds. You retract the land you’ve distributed to the farmers and order them to redeem their land. You must redress your guilt and rehabilitate their freedom. Reimburse their respective debts and build refuge for them. You can retain the residue of your property.”??
The lord was reluctant to renounce his wealth and be rent from his palace. He rebuked: “Your advice is too reckless. I’m resolute not to accept it.”
“Why so repulsive? You cannot repudiate my words.” The hermit reiterated his suggestion and its resonance echoed. “Remit their taxes with rebates, or a riot is imminent.”
The lord again refuted. At last he went back in remorse.
