要想在即将到来的托福英语考试写作中取得高分，掌握一些写作技巧是非常必要的。本文是英语培训栏目小编应广大考生的强烈要求，特意为大家整理的2014年托福英语考试写作四大技巧，希望大家能够认真阅读。具体内容如下所示：
首先，summarize，也就是概括阅读和听力文章的主要内容和各三个分论点。
这其实就是Introduction要写的内容，掌握了概括，第一段就不成问题咯!
其次，Paraphrase，也就是改写。掌握好了改写句子，你写起文章来将会感觉到如鱼得水，游刃有余。改写其实主要有下面的两种方法：
第一，使用不同的词汇
a.使用同义词，比如以下的一些写作高频词汇的同义词，你一定要掌握，出现的尤为频繁。
important→essential, crucial, vital, significant,
think→claim, believe, consider, deem, figure out
nowadays→currently, at present, now, recently, in recent years, these days
b.改变词性，这是一种稍微难一些的方法，要求你的语法基础非常好，你才能灵活自如的运用。
n. → v.
Eg：When we look at a comparison between A and B…
When we compare A and B…
Adj. → n.
There are a variety of solutions to the problem.
There are various solutions to the problem.
c. 使用不同的承接词。承接词在文章当中的使用相当频繁，不仅是段落和段落的连接，还包括句子和句子的连接。背住一些常用的承接词比你的改写将会有极大的作用。
because of → due to, owing to, because, as, since, for
but → however, nevertheless, nonetheless, whereas
so → therefore, hence, thus, consequently
d.形容词的逆向表达。在某些形容词上进行修改，会达到非比寻常的效果。
Eg: not as easy as…→more difficult than…
Not uncommon→common
The cheapest → the least expensive
第二，使用不同的句型
a. 改变词序。这是非常简单的一种方法，完全不用动脑筋就可以进行改写。常常将句子中的状语(包括状语从句)换位置。
Eg: For many years, people have believed ….
→People believed… for many years.
After this programs has been solved, work on … can continue.
b. 主动语态和被动语态的互相替换Eg: Trained scientists performed this research.
→This research was performed by trained scientists.
c. 使用“there be” 句型，可以将一个简单句，马上变成一个加入定语从句或者分词的复杂句。Eg: Several computer programs can be used to solve this problem.
→There are several computer programs that can be used to solve this problem.或There are several computer programs used to solve this problem.
d. 定语从句，分词和插入语的互相替换
Eg: Study…, conducted by sociologists in 2004, shows that…
→Study…, which was conducted by sociologists in 2004, shows that…
Eg: This…, which is one of the most powerful … in the world, has…
→This…, one of the most powerful… in the world, has…
接下来，Cite，即引用。综合写作乃客观写作，只是一个旁观者的角度对这两篇文章的内容进行描述，因此，某观点是出自哪篇文章一定要说清楚。所以，下面的这些句型在综合写作中必不可缺。
a.According to+noun.
Eg: According to the passage/lecture/author/professor,…
b.Subject+verbs of reporting +that clause
Eg: The author tells/reports/suggests/explains/says/argues/states/indicates/claims/points out/thinks/believes that…
或The speaker agrees/disagrees/rejects/disputes/challenges/takes a different view….
c. As is indicated/displayed/illustrated in the passage/lecture,...
最后，Synthesize，也就是连接。具体来讲，就是承接词的使用是相当重要的，将文章当中的重要信息连接起来，体现作者对于两篇文章的理解正确，说明作者的思路清楚。由于综合写作是对两篇文章的比较，所以下面表对比和递进的承接词使用的最频繁。
a.Transitional words showing contrast: however, on the other hand, in contrast, on the contrary
b.Transitional words showing addition: moreover, furthermore, in addition, besides, as well
现在，是不是感觉清晰很多了呢?也没有那么惧怕综合写作了呢?我相信，只要你掌握了上述四大技巧，综合写作对你来说将不再是个难以跨越的关口。
