Morning~AmyLee要认真规划好备考的每一天，你呢！非常感谢大家的陪伴，我们YY可可备考小组的成员越来越多了，不许偷懒，托福优秀范文一天写一篇学一篇哦，写好了可以发送至我邮箱keke3096@qq.com进行互批，共同进步!^^

我已经托福三战过了，对考试各方面都很熟悉，所以大家到考前了有什么疑惑也可以发邮件给我，我会尽力为大家解答。

每天的写作任务是这样的，写好每天的作文发至我的邮箱（如果你想加入作文批改小组请注明），我们将进入互批作文模式。

在此我对每天的topic进行解析和范文精讲，请大家写完作文之后不忘进行比较，找出自己的不足之处。开始吧！

17. Some people think that they can learn betterby themselves than with a teacher. Others think that it is always better tohave a teacher. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons to develop youressay.

Topic 17 Learn by yourself or with a teacher?

Some people prefer to learn by themselves. They think they can learn better in this way because they have more freedom, independence, and pressurein their self-study. There is some truth in their way, but they fail to see themany advantage of learning with a teacher. Especially, when you learn something more complicated, it is always best to have a teacher. My arguments for this point are listed as follows.（第一段清楚地表达了自己的观点，还用了一些连词来使句式灵活起来。不过通过我们之前看过了这么多的范文，这是一篇典型的“八股文”，有完整标准的框架，再加入自己的内容丰富起来就会比较好。）

First, a teacher can act as（扮演，担任）a guide to lead you to success. When you grope for knowledge, you need help and advice.A teacher, who treats you as if you were his own child, will give you a hand when you encounter （遇到，这个词也确实很经常遇到）difficulties; he will render（提出，比give好）his advice when you are in a dilemma（意同difficulties）. Without a guide, you would be searching in darkness without a torch to light the wayfor you.

What is more, a teacher exerts real pressure on you. If you study by yourself, you must be strong-minded enough to keep on. You may become indolent（懒惰的）for lack of a strong will. Studying under the guidance of a teacher, however, you will feel there is always someone to supervise you. The teacher may assign you some books to read or some homework to do. You must complete the assignments,or you will not pass the course. You are urged to go no by your teacher.

Last but not least, studying with a teacher will receive the benefit of the teacher's knowledge. In class, the best teachers do more than just go over the material in the text book. They teach students how to learn, how to absorb information and then apply what you have learned to other situations. They guide all of you on classroom to develop discussion of the material and provide extra materials to broaden the scope of the topic. Without the help of teacher,it is nearly impossible to get these skills just by reading the textbook yourself.

In short, I prefer go to class, studying with teacher to guide and urge（催促）me. I choose to learn in a big family----my school. If I was obliged（有责任的，名词是obligation，替换responsibility时很有用）to learnby myself without a teacher or classmates, I would feel very sad and lonely.There would be no fun, no pressure, and no motivation. I could not learn well in such dull and depressing circumstances（压抑的环境）.

（从字数来看，这是一篇比较丰富饱满的文章，分数不会太低。大家平时要多练，考试的时候才能码出400+甚至500+，这都是功底和努力决定的。其次，文章逻辑清晰，用词得当，是一篇值得学习的佳作。）

好了，今天就说这么多，大家一定要坚持练习作文，每天进步一小点，一个月下来托福写作绝对是质的提升！希望大家跟着我每天一篇练下去，写作都是硬功夫，跟小时候每周都要写语文作文是一样的，功夫到家自然成，加油！

最后再mention一下互评作文的事情，这个作文互评目前只有我在做，我希望尽可能给有需要的可可粉们提供帮助，如果你们中有愿意跟我一起批改大家作文的，一定要mail我加入哦！（互批可以进步非常快，做过才知道！）
