2018年托福写作模拟练习：20年后不再用纸质书

　　至今为止，美国和加拿大共有2300多所院校规定，凡是外国学生申请到该校入学学习的，必须提供T0EFL，GRE，GMAT或TSE的某一项或两项标准化考试证明，只有达到学校所要求成绩的报考者，才能取得入学和申请奖学金的资格。近几年来，国内的联合国驻华机构和外企及合资企业在聘录用职员时，或国际基金组织在测试职员的英语水平时，也都采用TOEFL考试成绩。IBT 全称 Internet-based Test 的缩写，即托福网考，也就是现在的新托福，与旧托福最大的区别是多了个“网”，也就是通过网络，而不再是纸质的考试。新托福考试是以互联网为依托，取代了以计算机为依托的托福考试(CBT)。网考首先应用于美国、加拿大、法国、德国和意大利，托福网络考试始于2005年末，并在2006年里在全世界普及。美国的大学在录取工作中越来越看重托福成绩，尤其在2012年不少美国大学提高了对国际生的托福录取标准，托福录取分数线上调幅度大概在10分左右，比如凯斯西储大学(Top38)由2011年的80分上调至2012年的90分。俄亥俄州立大学由2011年的71分上调至2012年的79分。这一现象在高端名校中更为严重，综合排名Top20的埃默里大学甚至建议学生考取托福100分以上。中国大学生去纽约、伦敦、香港的大学留学，托福成绩都是被申请学校认可的。今天课窝小编为大家准备了托福写作练习，希望能够对你有所帮助，顺利通过2018年的托福考试，早日实现自己的留学梦!

　　Printed books will disappear

　　托福写作题目：

　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Twenty years from now, students will no longer use printed books.

　　托福写作范文一：

　　Agree

　　Books have been with us for centuries, and they are the preferred material for most people to read and receive their information from. However, twenty years from now,

　　I think students will no longer be using printed books in their studies. Computers have begun replacing printed material, and they will continue doing so in the future. Computers can hold much more

　　information than books can, and this will contribute to the demise of books. I have read that some universities require all students to have laptop computers. The classrooms are wired for Internet usage, as is every building on campus. Professors use the Internet for teaching, and students submit all reports electronically. The future of education is electronic computers, not printed books.

　　Because of a concern for the environment, fewer books will be printed on paper in the future. Conserving Earth's natural resources, including trees, will continue to be the focus of many people.

　　Publishing companies have already come out with e-books, which are available over the Internet. E-books use no paper and are often

　　cheaper than printed materials. As their popularity continues to rise, fewer people will bother with buying printed books.

　　Many teacher training programs currently emphasize non-book learning methods, a trend which will surely increase. As the older generation of teachers retires, new teachers will use books less often. For instance, many teacher training programs have courses in

　　computer-assisted learning methods. Also, many schools are moving towards online classrooms where students and teachers meet over the Internet. In the future, virtually everything, including classroom materials, will be done on the Internet.

　　It seems apparent to me that, twenty years from now, books and other printed materials will disappear thanks to the growing use of computers, concern for the environment, and an emphasis on

　　nontraditionaI learning methods. In the future, students will no longer worry about carrying huge bags of books to and from school.

　　托福写作范文二：

　　Disagree

　　The increasing use of the Internet and other media is causing some people to believe that books will disappear soon. However, twenty years from now, printed books are still going to be an important part of students' educations.

　　While computers may seem ubiquitous in developed countries, this is hardly the case for the rest of the world. Developing countries will still be using books in the future as they will be unable to afford the cost of only using computers in their classrooms. Books, of course, are much cheaper than computers. Even in the most advanced countries, the number of classrooms where books have been eliminated is tiny. It is nonsense to believe that in twenty years, not only advanced but also third-world countries' students will be learning without the use of printed books.

　　People are also simply more comfortable sitting down and reading books than they are in reading from computer screens. Picking up and reading a book is and experience that most people will want to

　　continue to enjoy.I personally love reading in bed, on the subway, and in just about any other place where I can sit down.I cannot imagine trying to read from my laptop while lying in bed or taking the subway. For me, nothing can replace the pleasure of turning the pages of a book. Scrolling down on a computer screen just is not the same pleasing experience.

　　Finally, computer screens are known to be harmful to people's eyes while books are not. Staring at a computer screen for hours at a time can cause problems for people.

　　I know many people who do not like looking at a computer screen since it causes their eyes to get tired.I sometimes get headaches when I have to sit in front of my computer a lot.I do not experience any problems with books, which leads me to believe that they will be around for a long, long time.

　　In conclusion, books are still going to be used by students twenty years from now thanks to their cheapness, comfort level, and lack of harm caused to people's eyes. While computers and other multimedia tools will be enormously important learning tools, the will not

　　completely cause the disappearance of printed books from students' educations.
