2017年中国大陆托福考试已经落下帷幕，下面我们来总结下今年托福写作的一些基本情况，便于考生们准备下一阶段的托福考试。独立写作部分关键词：稳重有变，教育（话题）为主。
出题形式稳中有变
稳：首先，从出题形式来看，独立写作部分还是熟悉的味道，熟悉的配方：以常规的“Agree or Disagree”和“Which One is Better？（包含二选一和三选一）”为主。其中，三选一的考察比例在上升，而在11月和12月的真题回忆中，我们在文章中提醒过考生对于三选一的话题，一定要提及另外2个选项（对比或让步反驳）。
从新题和老题来看，17年的48道题中新题（包含拼题）占了17道题，比例为35%左右，意味着剩下65%的题目都是老题，重复2014-2016年这3年的题目，所以请大家务必利用好真题来备考，因为你上考场的时候，有6成多的机率出现老题！
变：2017年独立真题的变化在于内容更“接地气”，例如12月17日的真题（关于如何减少花销的3种选择），或者3月4日的真题（先看电影再看书，还是反过来。注意10月28日重复该题）等，都非常贴近每个人的日常生活，但是部分学生反映审题不难，但是展开比较难，因为“这东西真的没什么好说的啊，一句话就讲完了”。
针对这种情况，在下一年的备考当中，请各位同学一定要注意：1.回归写作的本质-讲清一件事，所以要避免抽象，含糊不清的表达；2.避免背模板而不思考，因为会限制思路，考场上一旦出现题目不对应，不懂得灵活运用，成绩不理想。
教育类话题仍然是主角
教育类仍然是主角，在48道题（包含上下午场）出现了21道，接近50%。其中，教育类话题一般覆盖家庭和校园2大场景，其中家庭以父母和子女关系为主，校园以学生及教师为主（“学生”包括学习方式，科目学习等常见内容）。接下来，频次第2高的就是生活方式类（“健康”话题为主）和朋友类，分别出现了7道和5道。
教育类例题：
1. Some young people are free in the evenings or have days off at school, which way can bring them the most benefit? （CN17.04.23）
● to accumulate work experience by a part-time job or volunteering in a community
● learning to play a sport
● learning to play a musical instrument
2. Your friends have the opportunity to choose either one of two types of majors (fields of study), which one of the following two majors do you think is a better choice, and why? (CN17.09.09)
● a major that would allow him to finish years of study and get a degree sooner (so that he would begin to work full-time quickly)
● a major that requires many years of study that would provide him with more employment opportunities and offers in the future
3. A high school requires their students (aged 16-17) to choose an activity to attend in the summer holiday between 11th and 12th. Which of the following do you think is more beneficial? (CN17.09.24)
● taking part in the university-level course (for example, the course related to the major field they want to study in)
● visiting museums and historic places with teachers and other students and then write a paper about it
教育类话题的思路关键词：知识，技能，和思维方式。假设你是一位大学校长，想要培养什么样的学生？——全面发展的学霸。什么是全面发展呢？知识广博并了解社会最新发展，会和人交流合作并领导小组高效完成小组任务等等。对应以上题目，基本都能迎刃而解。
朋友类例题：
1. You have long been friend with someone. If they do something that you don’t like, should you still be friends with him or her? (CN17.04.01)
2. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: it’s better to make friends with intelligent people than with people who have a good sense of humor? (CN17.04.15)
3. Do you agree or disagree: It is impossible to always be completely honest with your friends? (CN17.05.06)
朋友类话题的思路关键词：互相学习，互相帮助（虽然老套，不过依然有用）。想一下，你和身边的老铁们是如何相处的？除了吃喝玩乐，平时也会吐槽对方吧？不过，还是能够学到对方的长处，例如某学霸疯狂打游戏还是GPA爆表，那我可以学TA的时间管理方法吧？
生活方式类题（“养生三连”）：
1. Nowadays, it is easier to maintain good health than in the past. (CN17.08.26)
2. In the past people ate food that are better for health than they do today. (CN17.11.26)
3.Which one would you like to change to improve your health: （CN17.12.02）
● the kind of food you eat
● the amount of exercise
● the amount of stress
生活类话题的思路关键词：此类题目包含较多内容，就从以上3道题来看，ETS真的为了广大（为标化考试掉头发or转发迷信海豚喷雾三连）童鞋操碎了心。为了GPA奋斗的同时，还是不要忘了保持健康哦！
总结
2017年的托福写作考试独立部分重复旧题的机率比较高，大家要对近3年的真题非常熟悉。同时，考题仍然以教育类话题为主，所以，各位老铁们，你们可以做的就是：请务必紧跟老师的教学内容，记背和运用对应的词组。因为这些内容都是老师在课堂上会覆盖的内容，只要大家能够严格执行每一词每一句的练习，就能比较熟练考场上输出，从而得到高分。
