题目:Which of the following three factors contribute to an enjoyable vacati ...
Which of the following three factors contribute to an enjoyable vacation most? A. Good food; B. Good location; C. Good friends with you.
Pleasant vacations always lead us to a brilliant world (I'm not really sure what exactly you intend to express with this but the 'always' part is pretty exaggerated. ), for we can totally get rid of what frustrate us in our daily lives. Speaking of vacations, we usually let our minds wander in the sweet memories of what sceneries we have seen, what palatable food we have enjoyed (If you must use 'how', it needs to be 'how palatable the food we have enjoyed is'. 'what' goes with noun phrases, 'how' with adj./adv. phrases. In 'palatable food we have enjoyed', the part being fronted is actually 'palatable food', a noun phrase, not just 'palatable'.) and most importantly, who we have shared all those feelings with.
In the first place, usually what we remember most are what we have done when travelling. It will be a little weird to say that what really makes the trips fascinating is not where we plan to go or what we taste for the first time, but those people together with us, who have already been around us for long, while it seems that the key point of vacations apparently is get to know a different world. (A very good long sentence, and grammatically correct too, but what's your point after all these poetic reflections? You have placed two apparently unrelated points in this sentence: 1. people make trips fascinating; 2. vacations are meant for people to know a different world – and you made no effort to establish any logical connection between them.) In fact, as I see it, no matter how enjoyable the landscapes and foods are, they can only provide you with a short and sensory impression, when comparatively, the love and happiness we share with our companions is long-lasting.(Okay, so this is your point. Now you need to argue why your point is valid/true/persuasive – and apparently you didn't. The purpose of a TOEFL essay is to state your point and defend it – not just to describe things or express feelings.)
Moreover, sometimes it is easy for us to notice that, many scenic spots look much alike. Take two of my trips for example. I went to a public garden with my high school friends during my summer vacation last year, which is renowned for its springs. We queued for a long time only to find an ordinary river, which was far from satisfactory. Nevertheless, we still had a great time, talking about our high school life and new experience in universities. What I want to focus on is that, we often travel with old friends just to stay with those who we love for some time. In other words, vacations are just good opportunities for us to be together. Thus, the trips themselves do not matter that much.(Now this is completely off the topic. You're expected to argue that friends are the most important factor, out of three choices available, in making a trip good. Everything in this topic, from 'most' to the other two choices, need to be covered in your argument. What you did here was to construct a story on a few single keywords – 'friends', 'travel', 'enjoyable'. That's not the way to do an argumentative essay. Yes, I know it's very boring to write argumentative essays, but this is something you have to learn because this is what you are expected to do for academic writing. The way you write is more akin to 'creative writing' – I'm not saying it's bad. In fact your language is pretty proficient and you could possibly do very good creative writing. The point is, if you find this kind of creative writing more to your liking than dry argumentative essays, then consider getting yourself a training on creative writing, rather than a university degree.)
In addition to that, sometimes attending trips is a good method for us to befriend with someone new. For instance, the summer trip I joined (Which trip? The same trip you mentioned in the last paragraph?) in attracted people from the whole city. During those days I made friends with two girls at my age. We went almost everywhere together and shared a lot. What is important, now we still keep in touch with each other, and I really feel happy to have new friends. That is to say, in my point of view, taking a vacation is a very good chance to know someone you have never seen and nearly impossible to know before.(Again, this completely goes off into story mode about 'friends, trips, enjoyable', and this is not how you are expected to address the issue at hand. The actual task is to argue 'friends, compared to food and location, is a more important factor in making trips enjoyable'. And you need to defend this argument, as entirely as possible, in every paragraph. You can't only talk about part of this argument in the body of your essay and then make a conclusion that is the entire argument.)
To sum up, what truly makes vacations worth praising is not what we eat during the trips, not to mention the monotonous scenery we have viewed for a thousand times, but those who keep us company. Whether they are old friends or not, the happiness they bring to us will be the real treasure we want to keep.
总结:
这个语言真的很好很强大(and in fact probably the best I've seen for years, in terms of language proficiency.)但是生生议论文写成了抒情散文哈~所以请先去仔细研究明白下议论性文章的写法哈~(看考试作文书籍或者我主帖的链接都行。如果有不懂的可以随时站短我)
