在托福寫作中，想要寫出一篇優(yōu)秀的文章當然是有著一定的文字要求。反之，卻并不代表，越多的文字就越能體現(xiàn)文章的“高大上”，在托福文章中內(nèi)容的準確，用詞的精準才是最為重要的。過于追求字數(shù)，反而會讓自己的文章變得繁瑣，從無法獲得高分。那么，怎樣才能使自己的成績變得更為簡潔和精準呢？

建議一： 避免空洞的單詞和詞組

1. 在托福寫作中，一些空洞的單詞或詞組根本不能為句子帶來任何相關(guān)的或重要的信息，完全可以被刪掉。比如下面的句子：

When all things are considered, young adults of today live more satisfying lives than those of their parents, in my opinion.

這句話當中的“when all things are considered”和“in my opinion“都顯得多余。完全可以去掉。改為：

Young adults of today live more satisfying lives than their parents.

2. 有些空洞和繁瑣的表達方式可以進行替換，例如：

Due to the fact that our grandparents were under an obligation to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have at this point in time.

“due to the fact that”就是一個很典型的繁瑣的表達方式的例子，可以替換，簡化為下面的表達方式：

Because our grandparents were obligated to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have now.

建議二： 避免重復

1. 在托福寫作中，盡量避免重復使用同樣的詞匯。或者有的時候雖然詞匯沒有重復，但意思卻有重復。這時候可以做一些簡化的工作。例如下面這個例子：:

The farm my grandfather grew up on was large in size.

large 對一個farm來說就是size方面的large，所以in size可以去掉，改為：

The farm my grandfather grew up on was large.

更簡潔的表達方式為：

My grandfather grew up on a large farm.

2. 有時一個詞組可以用一個更簡單的單詞來替換，例如：

My grandfather has said over and over again that he had to work on his parents' farm.

這里的over and over again就可以改為repeatedly，顯得更為簡潔：

My grandfather has said repeatedly that he had to work on his parents' farm
