作为我们网校的托福老师，Yiyi长年专攻写作。可能一说起写作大家就会对它产生偏见，（要我用非母语在20分钟写出一篇380-400左右的作文一刚？！打字是致命伤，更何况还要思考怎么去发展它…）

然而事实是这样的：只要你每周花一刻钟的碎片时间跟着Yiyi老师针对每个环节提前进行练习，你的战斗力指数必定在短时间内大幅度提高。信者得高分哦~~

今天先送上综合写作五步必杀技之记笔记。

我们先从看一篇科技方面的passage开始，请大家阅读的时候记得掐个表！（3分钟哦）

--------------------------------~我是勤劳的分割线~---------------------------------

One of the most promising new developments in personal transportation is the smart car. A smart car is one that utilizes advanced methods of engineering or computers with some kinds of artificial intelligence. While smart cars have not yet reached their full potential, they are sure to be beneficial, to all who eventually drive them.

One advantage of smart cars is that they will help traffic flow faster. A smart car will be able to handle many of the driving duties, thereby allowing the people in the car to attend to other matters. Because the car, for the most part, will be driving itself, it will be able to select optimal routes based on their lack of vehicles and the speed with which they may be traveled upon. This, in turn, will make travel times much shorter and keep traffic moving continuously.

In addition, a smart car will have lower maintenance costs. Since the car will be almost entirely run by computers, the computers will be able to alert the owner when there is a minor problem to be fixed. The owner will then be able to fix the car at a low cost as opposed to waiting for the problem to develop into a major issue that would require an inordinate amount of money to be sent.

Time’s up!现在到时间展示你超凡的信息归纳能力啦！

STEP 1速(kuáng)读(sǎo)+归(jīng)纳(jiǎn) 阅读文章

三段式行文还是延续了总起段落+分段落1+分段落2的形式，于是结果来啦：

第一段作者提出了他的看法：Smart Cars – Promising New Developments

智能汽车实在好啊！

（那你猜猜看接下来的内容？肯定就是具体讲smart cars到底哪里好到爆了对吧？没错！）

第二段作者马上提出分论点一：SC will help traffic flow faster. 之后的内容就是在demonstrate这个论点。

第三段紧接着提出分论点二：SC will have lower maintenance costs. 之后的blah-bla-blah也不过就在阐明该论点。

那么问题来了，我们是不是找到这些point就ok了呢？答案是：我们还需要往下挖掘一丢丢呢~ 看看下面的spots你有本事fill in嘛？（掐个表啦 2mins）

Smart Cars – Promising New Developments

SUB-OPINION1： SC will help

l Handle many of the driving duties à drivers can attend to other matters

l Can choose à much shorter travel times & continuously moving traffic

SUB-OPINION2: SC have lower

l Computers will alert owner when is

l Can fix probl

em before it becomes major issue

是不是瞬间觉得思路清晰了？做到这一步的你已经成功梳理出了阅读文章的脉络。点个赞！当然，我们现在做的事情在考场中你可以用速记的形式列出这些大小论点，没有必要这么详细，但切记要准、狠、稳！

以下是表的答案：

Traffic flow; optimal routes; maintenance costs; minor problem

进入综合写作的第二部分你将会听一个演讲者就passage里面的内容发表他的看法。据不完全统计，他一定是和passage的作者对着干的在这个环节，原本的passage会duang地消失一下下，你要磨耗铅笔拿稳草稿纸，因为接下来要听听力啦.

时间再一次无情的到啦~ 诶哟，阅读passage又出现啦

STEP 2 速(kuáng)读(sǎo)+归(jīng)纳(jiǎn) 听力文章

演讲者肯定是被派来来吐槽智能汽车哪里哪里不灵光的，我们来分析分析他的观点。

他让我们不要高兴得太早一刚因为SC won’t be as breathtaking as everyone anticipates. 为啥呢？

首先，SC 的大规模制造将会使得汽车基数成几何倍增长，这个就是

SUB-OPINION 1--More automobiles mean a much heavier traffic condition. (这是Yiyi用自己的话归纳的，大家在考试时也要学会理解演讲者的观点把它概括出来。)

注意：即使你刚才不小心放空了没有catch到首段的分论点，我们大可利用阐述分论点的部分来猜测他究竟刚刚在说啥。比如，分论点一过后，演讲者说“仅仅因为它们是智能车你就认为自己可以摆脱交通大果酱嘛？” 哈哈哈，愚蠢的人类！大家动脑筋猜一下，演讲者是不是之前一直在说SC不能改变交通拥堵的现状呢？（是正常人都会是这个逻辑）

接着回忆一下SUB-OPINION 2：SC are not cheap to maintain. 就像Tesla这样的电动汽车虽然环保但是大环境并没有很好地在国内支持它的体验。这一个分论点演讲者提得非常直白，大家应该很好找到。

好啦，接下来等着大家的同样是一个很有心机的表

Smart Cars – Not as Breathtaking as People Anticipate

SUB-OPINION 1: SC will not ease traffic.

l Automobile technology improves à

l People will have to sit in

SUB-OPINION 2: SC will not be cheap to maintain.

l Use of very expensive,

l Replacing parts à

应该没有难道大家吧？Yiyi来揭晓一下答案啦：

Amount of traffic; longer traffic jams; custom-made parts; astronomical amount of money

总结陈词时间！

当你在填写两张表格的时候其实就是在记笔记（是不是觉得顿时弱爆啦），你所记录的是阅读文章和听力文章的论点（注意：由于我们可以提前设想他们互相反驳彼此，所以在读完阅读文章后可以对于接下来的听力内容做一个可行性猜测，你懂的 ）

希望各位考生在消化了Yiyi的话之后打开WORD程序腾出双手开始码字，Yiyi会先保留具体行文时候的诀窍（不然下次课讲啥）

大家回去以后要记得巩固Yiyi说的知识点哦最好的办法就是演练一篇文章！

下面这篇文章大家可以试着记一下笔记，这是一篇关于环境话题的阅读文章，切记要掐个表！3mins~

Many environmentalists are wary of allowing the introduction of new species into an ecosystem. Ecosystems are fragile, and invasive species can often cause many problems when they are introduced where they do not belong. In fact, when they invade a new ecosystem, they often have several harmful effects.

For one, the introduction of new species can ruin the local ecosystem in many ways. First, it can act as a predator and eat other local species, thereby causing their their extinction. Another way is that it can consume too much of a valuable local food source. This consumption can cause other animals not to be able to eat as much as they are accustomed to. The result may be a decrease in the number of native species.

Another way that non-native species can be harmful is by causing the people who live in that area to suffer from financial losses. An example of this is the mesquite tree in the American Southwest. It thrives in areas with little water. However, because it soaks up the water from the ground, nearby grasses do not get enough and die. This causes local ranchers to lose money since they have to pay extra for animal feed. Also, the mesquite tree regenerates easily, so farmers must pay large amounts of money to remove the trees from their land.

FYI: 自控力差的同学可以尝试在家里练习时戴上一副高大上的耳麦模仿考场的环境，Yiyi个人偏爱在写作时仍旧戴着耳机（隆隆的敲击键盘声就会瞬间小很多哦，另外也更容易让自己专注）好啦，我们下周不见不散哦~

智慧的地球的关于智能星球的英文阐述,又名智慧的地球

最佳答案It is a pleasure and an honor to be here today in this distinguished assembly, and at this extraordinary moment: a major political transition in the United States, the global economy in flux, our financial markets restructuring themselves—and an acutely felt need for leadership.

Our political leaders aren't the only ones who've been handed a mandate for change. Leaders of businesses and institutions everywhere confront a unique opportunity to transform the way the world works.

We have this chance for reasons no one wished. The crisis in our financial markets has jolted us awake to the realities and dangers of highly complex global systems. But in truth, the first decade of the 21st century has been a series of wake-up calls with a single subject: the reality of global integration.

Two years ago, I published an essay in Foreign Affairs that described the changing structure of the corporation, which I felt had been largely left out of the discussion on globalization. I described the emergence of a new kind of corporation—the globally integrated enterprise, which was replacing the multinational.

Today there is growing consensus that global integration is changing the corporate model and the nature of work itself. But we now see that the movement of information, work and capital across developed and developing nations—as profound as those are—constitute just one aspect of global integration.

In the last few years, our eyes have been opened to global climate change, and to the environmental and geopolitical issues surrounding energy. We have been made aware of global supply chains for food and medicine. And, of course, we entered the new century with the shock to our sense of security delivered by the attacks on 9/11.

These collective realisations have reminded us that we are all now connected—economically, technically and socially. But we're also learning that being connected is not sufficient. Yes, the world continues to get flatter. And yes, it continues to get smaller and more interconnected. But something is happening that holds even greater potential. In a word, our planet is becoming smarter.

This isn't just a metaphor. I mean infusing intelligence into the way the world literally works—the systems and processes that enable physical goods to be developed, manufactured, bought and sold. services to be delivered. everything from people and money to oil, water and electrons to move. and billions of people to work and live.

What's making this possible

First, our world is becoming instrumented: The transistor, invented 60 years ago, is the basic building block of the digital age. Now, consider a world in which there are a billion transistors per human, each one costing one ten-millionth of a cent. We'll have that by 2010. There will likely be 4 billion mobile phone subscribers by the end of this year. and 30 billion Radio Frequency Identification tags produced globally within two years. Sensors are being embedded across entire ecosystems—supply-chains, healthcare networks, cities. even natural systems like rivers. Second, our world is becoming interconnected: Very soon there will be 2 billion people on the Internet. But in an instrumented world, systems and objects can now speak to one another, too. Think about the prospect of a trillion connected and intelligent things—cars, appliances, cameras, roadways, pipelines. even pharmaceuticals and livestock. The amount of information produced by the interaction of all those things will be unprecedented. Third, all things are becoming intelligent: New computing models can handle the proliferation of end-user devices, sensors and actuators and connect them with back-end systems. Combined with advanced analytics, those supercomputers can turn mountains of data into intelligence that can be translated into action, making our systems, processes and infrastructures more efficient, more productive and responsive—in a word, smarter. What this means is that the digital and physical infrastructures of the world are converging. Computational power is being put into things we wouldn't recognize as computers. Indeed, almost anything—any person, any object, any process or any service, for any organization, large or small—can become digitally aware and networked.

With so much technology and networking abundantly available at such low cost, what wouldn't you enhance What service wouldn't you provide a customer, citizen, student or patient What wouldn't you connect What information wouldn't you mine for insight

The answer is, you or your competitor—another company, or another city or nation—will do all of that. You will do it because you can—the technology is available and affordable.

But there is another reason we will make our companies, institutions and industries smarter. Because we must. Not just at moments of widespread shock, but integrated into our day-to-day operations. These mundane processes of business, government and life—which are ultimately the source of those surprising crises—are not smart enough to be sustainable.

Consider:

How much energy we waste: According to published reports, the losses of electrical energy because grid systems are not smart range as high as 40 to 70 percent around the world. How gridlocked our cities are: Congested roadways in the U.S. cost $78 billion annually, in the form of 4.2 billion lost hours and 2.9 billion gallons of wasted gas—and that's not even counting the impact on our air quality. How inefficient our supply chains are: Consumer product and retail industries lose about $40 billion annually, or 3.5 percent of their sales, due to supply chain inefficiencies. How antiquated our healthcare system is: In truth, it isn't a system at all. It doesn't link from diagnosis, to drug discovery, to healthcare deliverers, to insurers, to employers. Meanwhile, personal expenditures on health now push more than 100 million people worldwide below the poverty line each year. How our planet's water supply is drying up: Global water usage has increased six-fold since the 1900s, twice the rate of human population growth. According to the Asian Development Bank, one in five people living today lacks access to safe drinking water, and half the world's population does not have adequate sanitation. And, of course, the crisis in our financial markets: This will be analyzed for decades, but one thing is already clear. Financial institutions spread risk but weren't able to track risk—and that uncertainty, that lack of knowing with precision, undermined confidence. It's obvious, when you consider the trajectories of development driving the planet today, that we're going to have to run a lot smarter and more efficiently—especially as we seek the next areas of investment to drive economic growth and to move large parts of the global economy out of recession.

Fortunately, we now can. We see this in how companies and institutions are rethinking their systems and applying technology in new ways.

Stockholm's smart traffic system has resulted in 20 percent less traffic, a 12 percent drop in emissions and a reported 40,000 additional daily users of public transport. Smart traffic systems are strengthening the competitive positions of cities from London to Brisbane to Singapore—with many more being planned. Intelligent oil field technologies can increase both pump performance and well productivity—in a business where only 20-30 percent of available reserves are currently extracted. Smart food systems—such as one now running in the Nordics—can use RFID technology to trace meat and poultry from the farm through the supply chain to supermarket shelves. Smart healthcare can lower the cost of therapy by as much as 90 percent—as ActiveCare Network is doing for more than 2 million patients in 38 states, whom it monitors for the proper delivery of their injections and vaccines. There are many other examples I could cite. Smart systems are transforming energy grids, supply chains and water management. They are ensuring the authenticity of pharmaceuticals and the security of currency exchanges. And they are changing everything from organisations' business models to how they enable their employees to collaborate and innovate.

And remember, the opportunity to become smarter applies not just to large enterprises, but to smaller and mid-sized companies—the engines of economic growth everywhere. When we think about systems like supply chains, healthcare delivery and food systems, we're really talking about the interactions of hundreds, even thousands of companies, most of them small.

This opportunity also applies beyond business. Smart infrastructure is becoming the basis of competition between nations, regions and cities.

In a globally integrated economy, investment and work flow not only to the places in the world that offer cost advantages, skills and expertise. It is flowing to countries, regions and cities that offer smart infrastructure—everything from efficient transportation systems, modern airports and secure trade lanes. to reliable energy grids, transparent and trusted markets, and enhanced quality of life.

Certainly, as you travel the world, you see countries everywhere leapfrogging—not only to the latest technology and to digital infrastructures, but to the most modern business designs, processes and models. Ultimately, this is about competitiveness in a globally integrated economy.

The importance of this moment, I believe, is that the key precondition for real change now exists: People want it. But this moment will not last forever.

Isn't it true that the hardest part of driving any kind of change is whether the individual—the employee, the citizen—feels the need to change at a deeply personal level And in hindsight, when the circumstances that cry out for change are gone, when things have returned to normal—don't we always wish we had been bolder, more ambitious, gone faster, gone further

Well, today, from the boardroom to the kitchen table, people everywhere are ready, eager for a new way of doing things.

That's why a period of discontinuity is, for those with courage and vision, a period of opportunity. Over the next couple of years, there will be winners, and there will be losers. And though it may not be easy to see now, I believe we will see new leaders emerge who win not by surviving the storm, but by changing the game.

To do that, they will practice forms of leadership that are very different from the models of the past.

Think about the way the world today actually works: Very few of our systems are the responsibility of a single entity or decision-maker. So leaders will need to hone their collaboration skills, because we will need leadership that pulls across systems. We will need to bring together stakeholders and experts from across business, government and academia, and all of them will need to move outside their traditional comfort zones. This is something on which the Council on Foreign Relations has been showing the way for many years.

There is much serious work ahead of us, as leaders and as citizens. Together, we have to consciously infuse intelligence into our decision-making and management systems. not just infuse our processes with more speed and capacity.

But I think one thing is clear: The world will continue to become smaller, flatter. and smarter. We are moving into the age of the globally integrated and intelligent economy, society and planet. The question is, what will we do with that

The world now beckoning us is one of enormous promise. And I believe it is one that we can build—if we open our minds and let ourselves think about all that a smarter planet could be.
