朗阁海外考试研究中心 Research Academy for Foreign Language Examinations 新托福写作考题回顾 朗阁海外考试研究中心 曹美玲 考试日期： 2014.11.08 （A 卷） Task 1 INTEGRATED 综合写作 Amtrak should be sold to privately owned companies. 阅读文章要点：Amtrak should be sold to privately owned companies. 1. It loses money on some routes. 2. It is unfair to privately owned companies such as airlines because they have reduced the price in order to compete with the government. 3. People drive cars more often and do not like to take the Amtrak. 听力逐一反驳：These reasons are unconvincing. 1. The main purpose of Amtrak is not to earn money but to facilitate the transportation of the rural areas. People in these areas have the same right as those living in places that have accessible transportation routes. 2. The government has already supported the airlines, eg, building the airline transportation control towers and offices. 3. People do not like taking Amtrak because it is outdated, if the government invests in improving it, it will be more favorable and more people will take it. The professor gives examples of Japan and Europe, they invest a lot in high-speed rail lines and make it comfortable and fast, and thus people take this a lot and leave the cars at home. Task 2 INDEPENDENT 独立写作 话题类别 社会类 考题文字： Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Nowadays it is not important for people to have meals with families regularly. 朗阁海外考试研究中心 Research Academy for Foreign Language Examinations 本次写作考试点评： 本次新托福综合写作重复2010.12.19大陆考题。独立写作重复2013.08.25 大陆考题，这是一道比较接近我们生活的题目。很多同学从一个角度增进感情 来写，这样的话思路打不开，而且很难写得比较充实。我们可以用分类法来做， 用拆分年龄段的方法来解题。
