Michelin-starred restaurant 米其林星级餐厅米其林星级餐厅(Michelin-starred restaurant)大家都知道，可是你能准确无误地拼出它的英文表达吗? 导致国人在海外收敛了奢侈品的购买(rein in purchase of luxury items)的另一个重要原因就是国人在海外旅游时开始更多地关注旅游本身所带来的体验，而非像以往那般只在景区拍照以及疯狂购物。人们更有兴趣去探索当地的影院、饮食及风土人情(local customs and culture)。4. domestic products 国货预测国人长假不会再次疯狂购物(go on a shopping spree)的另一个原因就是国人开始重拾对国货的信心和兴趣了(to restore their confidence and interest in domestic products)。有调查表明，在20XX年第一季度，华为手机以13.75%的高份额占有率，成为中国市场销量第一，这也是华为手机在中国市场的销量上首次超过苹果等跨国品牌。托福写作热点话题词句类素材分享：假期购物心花怒放 to burst with joy/be highly delighted受时间所限 subject to limited time疯狂扫货 to go on a shopping spree并不这么看 to think a different way网上海淘 online cross-border shopping改变 be in flux压抑购物欲望 to stifle the desire to buy海外代购 overseas purchasing奢侈品 luxury items/big-ticket items/premium items炫富 to flaunt wealth可支配支出 discretionary spending健身 body building米其林星级餐厅 Michelin-starred restaurant收敛了奢侈品的购买 to rein in purchase of luxury item风土人情 local customs and culture重拾对国货的信心和兴趣 to restore their confidence and interest in domestic products托福写作高频话题思路拓展和实用词汇句式素材整理分享：打车软件托福写作热点话题观点类素材分享：打车软件1.cash burning 烧钱不可否认，像滴滴快车这样的叫车应用是通过烧钱(burn cash)来抢占市场份额(to grab market share)的。所谓“烧钱”是指这些叫车应用通过向客户提供高额补贴(provide massive subsidies)的方式来大打价格战(to wage a fierce price war)。这种新商业模式(novel business model)使得传统的出租车行业处于劣势(to put the traditional taxi business at a disadvantage)。很多客户会因为便宜而转向叫车应用。2.venture capital firm 风险资本公司/private equity firm 私募公司这种O2O模式的企业，大多是风险资本公司(venture capital firm)或私募公司(private equity firm)。消费者喜欢这种企业，比如这次三亚出租车司机罢工事件，乘客都是一边倒地支持滴滴快车公司。乘客们认为滴滴快车更便捷更便宜，传统出租车行业自身也应该进行变革。3.online to offline(O2O) 线上到线下但同时不少人也质疑像滴滴快车这样的O2O互联网企业的烧钱行为能持续到何时。烧钱这一营销策略(market strategy)是否是一种可行的商业模式(viable business model), 因为在烧钱这种商业模式中，补贴起着决定性作用(play a defining role), 烧钱吸引来的用户并没有什么忠诚度，当别的公司提供更多补贴时，这些客户就会“倒戈”。所以在这场烧钱大战中胜出的唯一可能就是在竞争对手破产(go bankrupt/go out of business)前，自己的钱还没有烧完。4.to publish financial statement 公布财务报表很多人悲观地认为，眼下这种以叫车应用为代表的整个互联网行业的烧钱热潮预示着互联网泡沫快胀到头了(to heralds the top of an internet bubble).由于这些O2O公司不公布财务报表(not publish financial statement), 所以他们的烧钱规模无从得知。其实O2O这种模式之前在国外已经受到了审视(be subject to scrutiny), 上世纪90年代，硅谷(silicon valley)曾经发生过互联网泡沫。因此，看待这个问题时，我们应该想得更长远一些。托福写作热点话题词句类素材分享：打车软件旅游胜地 resorts/tourist attraction指定地点 designated place出租车司机罢工 taxi driver strike手机叫车应用 cellphone car-hailing application危害了某人利益 damage ones interest烧钱 to burn cash抢占市场份额 to grab market share提供高额补贴 to provide massive subsidies大打价格战 to wage a fierce price war新商业模式 novel business mode使得传统的出租车行业处于劣势 to put the traditional taxi business at a disadvantage风险资本公司 venture capital firm私募公司 private equity firm营销策略 market strategy可行的商业模式 viable business model起着决定性作用 to play a defining role破产 to go bankrupt/go out of business预示着互联网泡沫快胀到头了 to heralds the top of an internet bubble公布财务报表 not publish financial statement受到了审视 be subject to scrutiny硅谷 silicon valley托福写作高频话题思路拓展和实用词汇句式素材整理分享：儿童教育托福写作热点话题常见题目分享：儿童教育1.

It has been thought that children learn more efficiently and gain more knowledge through play-based activities such as dramatic play, art, and social games. This theory plays stems childrens natural curiosity and tendencies to "make believe", mixing in educational lessons.(这句话非常适合用于托福写作中，说明孩子为什么需要玩耍。)According to Piagets theory, when young children encounter information that conflicts with their previously learned expectations, or schemes, they attempt to both accommodate and assimilate the new information. Through accommodation, a child attempts to adapt his / her mental schemes and representations in order to make them consistent with reality. Through assimilation, a child attempts to fit new information into their pre-existing schemes about reality. Through these two processes, young children learn by equilibrating their mental representations of reality with the reality they encounter.(这段非常有逻辑的论证了孩子是如何在经验中和实践中不断学习和成长的。)By applying Piagets theories to school programs, childrens experiences become more hands-on and concrete as they explore the nature of things through trial and error.(很适用于我们托福写作中孩子犯错的情况)He believes that early childhood education includes encouraging exploration, manipulating objects and learning about the world through field trips. (很好用的平行结构加论据)Piaget found that children who were allowed to make mistakes often learned from them and discovered new solutions.(适用于创新)This theory posits that children build their own way of learning - paving the way for early childhood education.Piagets theory have been significant in influencing early childhood education practices how educators should teach, how they can affect childrens learning, and how they contribute to the cognitive development of the child.(一个非常漂亮的平行结构。)这篇*在很好的程度上解释了：1. 孩子为什么要玩耍，如为了迎合好奇心，渐渐形成自己的意识，成长以及经验的不断更正的需要。2. 怎么玩耍，如可以排演戏剧，体育锻炼，参加短途旅游，学习艺术。3. 玩耍过程中可能犯一些错误都是为了认识世界做准备的，都给予了非常好的解释，这些对孩子的早期教育有着深远的影响。4. 在词句上大量用了平行结构和学术词汇，虽然不是非常难，但是非常地道，考生们可以学习这样的词句来写托福写作独立作文，一定是非常有效果的。这篇*完全可以作为背景知识，看看外国学术专家们是如何看待托福写作常见话题：儿童教育，同时也看看外国专家的逻辑是如何紧凑的。
