2.the quality and complexity of your vocabulary

　　既然OG中要求word choice should be appropriate(措辞贴切得体)，如何才能做到呢?这里大多数同学都有一个误解，认为指的就是大量使用TOEFL甚至GRE的词汇，当然，这些词汇如果使用的正确固然是好的，但对于大多数同学来说，很多TOEFL/GRE词汇大家仅仅是认识，对于它们的搭配和感情色彩并不是很清楚，往往会闹出“今天我含笑九泉”、“我们的班长凡事都首当其冲”之类的笑话。

　　在托福独立写作中什么样的词汇才是appropriate或者说能到的一定的quality and complexity呢?在托福的评卷中，raters一方面会考虑同学们所使用的词汇的长度和复杂度，一方面会把考试文章中所使用的词汇表达与语料库中不同等级的文章进行比较，从而大致判定我们的文字语言水平。因此，平时多去积累高分范文中的表达对于我们提升自己的语言很大的帮助。实际上各位同学能够熟练使用四级阶段的词汇便能能很好的表达意思，如我们想表达“生活中有很多这样的例子”，大多数同学第一反应是：There are many similar examples in our daily life.这句话在表达上没有错误，但是如果我们使用四级词汇中的abound写成：Life abounds with such examples. 这样的表达就会更加正式一点。

　　3.the complexity of sentence structures：

　　OG中要求做到句子结构多样，那么在保证句子表达正确性的基础上适当去变换句型就可以了。在这里很多同学又有误解，认为句子结构多样指的就是写长难句，殊不知滥用从句往往会使得语言变得啰嗦。比如说，我们想表达Mary是一个漂亮的女孩子，写成：Mary is a beautiful girl就可以了，如果偏要写成：Mary is a girl who is beautiful. 看上去句子变长了，还用上了定语从句，实际上整个句子显得累赘。我们通过对于独立写作高分范文的文本进行分析，可以总结出在高分范文中常见的句式有：

　　(1)并列句(包括平行结构，neither...nor...，not only...but also...等句式)

　　Junk food may cause a person to develop diabetes, to have heart disease, and to gain weight.

　　The mass media neither gives us the necessary information, nor does it tell us the truth.

　　We need formal education not only to gain knowledge but also learn social skills.

　　(2)从句(包括名词性从句、形容词性从句、副词性从句)

　　What kind of person you wish to become is more important than what kind of job you will have.

　　No one can deny the basic fact that it is impossible for average workers to master those high-technology skills easily.

　　A person who has an optimistic attitude toward his life can endure any hardship.

　　(3)插入语

　　After-hours study, if properly managed, holds the key to success in the 21st century.

　　College students, lacking social experience, are easily cheated.

　　(4)句子强调(包括强调句式、倒装句式、否定句式等)

　　Although friends definitely play a significant role in shaping teenagers' personality, it is the parents and siblings that have a far greater impact on the development of their personality traits.

　　Only when the heavy and frequent exposure to television is restricted or regulated will the adolescents' life, both bodily and spiritually, be guaranteed.

　　(5)修饰性问句

　　If there were no Internet, how could people get various information immediately?

　　Isn’t that better than worrying about who wins and who loses all the time?

　　(6)分词

　　Tourism, which is a rising industry, has become the major source of economy, playing crucial role in many Asian countries.

　　To be more specific, government should stage some relevant laws or regulations to severely punish the factory producing a great number of pollutants and the people littering or spitting deliberately.

　　当然，英语语言的使用更多的来自于同学们日常的积累。背诵单词并多读范文对于托福写作语言的准确使用有着很大的意思。
