2018年4月21日托福独立写作范文解析：老师是否很难做到既受欢迎又能有效帮助学生学习

## 真题题目 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is difficult for teachers to be both popular (students like them) and effective helping students in learning. ## 示范答案 When speaking of an excellent teacher, we usually refer to someone who can not only help students academically, but also arouse their enthusiasm. But some people believe that kind of teachers to be unrealistic, and under such a fierce competition, it is like a impossible mission for teachers to kill two birds with one stone. From my perspective, the above-mentioned statement seems too pessimistic, and there is a good chance for teachers to make it. I am going to elaborate my point in the following paragraphs. To begin with, a popular teacher is likely to stir up students' passion for study. Popular teachers usually have distinctive personal charisma, which can lead students to generate a feeling of affection or even worship for them. As a result, students are more willing to attend their lectures and finish the homework assigned by them. Objectively, these teachers' charisma works as an impetus to students' academic performance. My math teacher Sally is a good case. She is an enthusiastic teacher who always fills her class with a lot of fun, using entertaining and enlightening stories. We all like her very much, and try our best not to let her down in exams. Secondly, teaching with wonderful methods can make a teacher both popular and effective in helping students learn. Knowledge can be taught in an interesting way. Some effective teaching methods not only enable students to have a deep understanding of knowledge, but also reduce the boredom during the process. If a teacher could adopt those methods, he / she would become popular among students and effective in teaching simultaneously. Jason is another popular teacher in my school. In his English class, we were once required to debate in English and try to convince each other. Since teenagers always desire to excel over others, we did our best to put everything we had learned into practice. Admittedly, being popular and effective in teaching is never an easy task. After all, every social member is shouldering a great pressure, and teachers are no exception. School leaders and parents are all having high expectations on teachers, hoping them to foster more excellent students. Consequently, teachers have gradually become strict and impatient. However，if those teachers realize the problem and try to take it easy, things will be changed. For instance, if they can learn and practice wonderful teaching methods, students may like them and learn with more efficiency. In a nutshell, it might be difficult for teachers to be both popular and effective in helping students learn. If they devote themselves to improving their personal charisma as well as teaching methods, they will get close to the goal.（范文出处：谢侃《托福写作高分范文》） ## 思路解析 开头段：认为老师可以同时做到两点。（话题引入+他人观点+明确立场+过渡） 中间段1：受欢迎的老师更能激发学生的学习兴趣。（主题句+说理论证+例子） 中间段2：用好的方法教学既可以让老师受欢迎又能高效帮助学生学习。（主题句+说理论证+例子） 让步段：同时做到这两点确实不容易，但是老师要慢慢培养这方面的意识。（承认漏洞+堵漏） 结尾段：重申观点+归纳理由/升华主题。 ## 重点词汇句型 1. charisma 超凡的个人魅力；感召力；号召力 the powerful personal quality that some people have to attract and impress other people 2. impetus: 动力；推动；促进；刺激 something that encourages a process or activity to develop more quickly 3. simultaneous：同时发生（或进行）的；同步的 happening or done at the same time as sth else 4. no exception:不例外；无例外 If you make a general statement, and then say that something or someone is no exception, you are emphasizing that they are included in that statement. 5. excel:擅长；善于；突出 to be very good at doing sth
