托福满分作文-范文赏析：
Since the end of last century, a lot of criticism about the young generation has diffused throughout the world. Till now, those young people have been labeled as selfish, apathetic and lazy. Particularly, the youth are tepid in their participation in community activities. However, such a presumptuous judgment neglects the simultaneous change of human society, and deliberately covers the contributions made by the young.
Decades ago, frequent exchanges within one community were significantly in need so as to ensure the quality of people’s daily life. The youth, regarded as the most energetic group, therefore, should take more responsibilities to contribute to the whole community. Whereas, time has changed, with the boom of service industry and the great development of artificial intelligence, people have became more autonomic—we are not like people before who needed much physical help from their neighbors. For example, before, the old in one community might need young people to take care of their daily life. But recently, we have more service agencies to look after the old. Staffs there are well educated and have rich professional knowledge about how to take account of the aged.
Moreover, people are liberated from tedious housework. We have cleaners to sweep the floor and dishwashers to wash dirty plates and, those artificial machines are also easily used by the old. In this sense, people now are more independent than ever before and need less help from the outside. Hence, it could be understandable that the youth reduce their work time in the communities.
Although the development of technology and a finer division of labor free us from some bland work in a community, young people attempt to contribute more to the community and do what they can as youths. If we look around, we can find those cherubic teenagers active in kindergartens, nursing homes and orphanages, playing with kids, accompanying the lonely old and bringing their own books and clothes to those orphans. For instance, several friends of mine, even though they are quite busy with their academic study, still keep going to a nursing home every weekend to cook with those old and have lunch together. Also, they go to a local kindergarten each month to play with those kids, teach them drawing and recognizing the national flags. The youth are doing more than we expect, and they do care about the others, especially those who are vulnerable. Therefore, it would be prejudicial and unfair if we claim that the young people nowadays have not put in time for their communities, and ignoring the effort they make.
Society should be more lenient to the youth, at least, not harsh. On the one hand, we should understand the change of the world and the potential influence such a change might bring to our life. We cannot falsely overlook the development of our human society by complaining about the teenagers. On the other hand, we should notice and admit every attempt made by the young people—they are doing their best.
托福作文满分要素剖析:
一、 语言表达
本文使用了很多逻辑连接词和固定句式，让文章的各个句子之间联系更加紧密，有逻辑性。值得一提的是作者使用了不少高阶的词汇，例如lenient, presumptuous, cherubic等等，读来觉得作者文采飞扬，词汇量丰富。
1. However, such a presumptuous judgment neglects the simultaneous change of human society, and deliberately covers the contributions made by the young.本句的三个形容词(副词)用的非常精彩。Presumptuous冒失的，simultaneous同时，deliberately故意地让句子更加生动形象。我们也应该在能够掌握的词汇范围内，在保证正确的情况下多使用修饰词语或者结构来使句子更加饱满。
2. If we look around, we can find those cherubic teenagers active in kindergartens, nursing homes and orphanages, playing with kids, accompanying the lonely old and bringing their own books and clothes to those orphans. 本句的动词ing形式表示一种伴随状况，表示这些动作是同时发生的，因此可以合并省去主谓。
3. On the other hand, we should notice and admit every attempt made by the young people—they are doing their best. Made by the young people是动词过去分词形式做定语修饰every attempt，这种形式是省略了主谓that is的形式。而且作者使用了破折号表示解释说明。标点符号的正确使用也可以代替从句，避免结构上的重复。
二、 逻辑结构
本文的逻辑结构非常值得我们借鉴。作者首段首先提出观点，即批评年轻人不为社区做贡献是不公平的。值得注意的是中间三段的分析部分。通常，我们可以从两个角度来进行具体分析：原则(principle)和实际(practicality)。前两段写了人们不如从前那样需要社区工作和机器减少，这都是从原则角度进行分析的。第三段通过举例，从实际角度证明年轻人已经为社会做出很多贡献了。最后总结了总论点和分论点。我们在分析问题时也可以借鉴这样的结构，让文章思考更全面，逻辑更清晰。
网温馨提醒：考生们拿到托福作文试题，审题后，先决定总体思路，然后列出两三个具体的分论点，每个论点找出一些例子来说明。这里要注意例子的选择，尽可能生活化、生动化、形象化，不要太死板，
