托福写作范文：电影或者电视是如何影响人们行为的

　　How do movies or television influence people’s behavior? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.

　　Do movies and television affect our behavior? A special concern is whether movies and television make children and society more violent. I believe that movies and television do influence our behavior, both for the better and for the worse.

　　Movies do make people more violent. The more we see violent acts on television, the less sensitive we become to them. Eventually violence doesn’t seem wrong .we may even commit violent acts ourselves. This is especially true because we don’t always realize that violence has consequences. Actors can be killed and come back for another movie. Sometimes we confuse that with reality. We forget that killing someone is permanent.

　　Movies and television also influence our behavior because they make us less active. Looking at films is a passive activity. If we watch too much, we become unhealthy, both mentally and physically. We stop using our own imagination when we see things acted out for us. Mental laziness becomes physical laziness; we’d rather watch sports on to than play sports ourselves. we’d rather visit with the characters on “Seinfeld” or “Friends” than go chat with our own neighbors. Imaginary people have exciting lives. Is it any wonder that some people would rather live a fantasy life than their own?

　　Of course, watching movies and television can also be good for us. It can give us a broader window on the world. For example, seeing movies can expose us to people of different races and cultures. We can then overcome some prejudices more easily. Recently there have been more handicapped people in films, and this also helps reduce prejudice.

　　The best influence on our behavior is that movies and television reduce stress. Watching films, we can escape our own problems for a little while. Also, sometime movies show positive ways to resolve problems we all face. While TV and movies shouldn’t be a way to hide from life, sometimes they can help us cope.

　　It is true that movies and television can influence our behavior negatively. However, I also believe that they influence our behaviors in positive ways. How they affect you depends on how much you watch, what you watch, and how you respond to what you watch.

　　1 避免中式英语：第一个最为显著的问题就是如何避免中式英语，其实我们想说出什么是中式英语，有些难，但是我们可以很明确的知道，托福阅读的文章都是非常地道的英语，因此，我们在看托福阅读的时候，一定总是在思考我们自己会怎么写，这是一个非常重要的过程。

　　2 用词准确：比如说affect与shock有什么区别?affect只是影响，但是没有幅度上的差别。shock相应的就是很剧烈的影响的含义，这就是用词的准确性。再比如and与so有什么差别?

3 动词的名词化：这其实是写出地道托福作文的一个不错的小妙招，就是将动词名词化，因此在这里也将其单独列出。比如说 which of the following was responsible for the evaporation of the Mediterranean’s waters?这句话，我们写的时候是不是会将其写成Why did the Mediterranean’s waters evaporate?
