ChatGPT从问世以来,短短一个月用户破亿。大众第一时间解锁了它的各种用途,从写作业到改论文,从闲聊到解决各种人生的疑难杂症。它可以迅速在网上搜索给定话题的相关信息并在最短时间内给出有效回复。
这次我们以2月26日托福独立写作题为例,看看它给出的文章可以达到一个怎样的水准。
题目:
Some high school teachers (teachers of students aged 14-18) spend most of the class time lecturing while the students listen and take notes. Other high school teachers spend most of the class time on discussion and projects that students are highly involved in and exchange their ideas. Which of these two approaches do you think is more effective for student's learning and why?
老师给出的题目分析:这个题目本身是常见的二选一话题,但是由于篇幅较长,需要花更多时间去思考并提炼出题目的内核。这个话题最核心的元素是教学方法,也就是哪一种教学方法更有利于学生的学习,如果决定支持其中一种教学法,需要给出两个段落来论述为什么这种方法更有利于学生的学习。
ChatGPT给出的文章如下,这篇文章从题目粘贴进去到出现答案,只花了不到30s,速度相当快,我们来看看,如此快速的回复会不会有点草率。
The effectiveness of a teaching approach depends on various factors such as the subject matter, student's cognitive ability, and learning styles.However, in general, a teaching approach that involves discussion and projects, where students are highly involved in exchanging their ideas, is more effective for student's learning than a lecture-based approach.
Firstly, discussion and project-based approaches promote active engagement among students. Students are encouraged to participate in class activities, share their opinions, and ask questions, which promotes critical thinking and enhances their understanding of the subject. When students are engaged in the learning process, they are more likely to retain information and apply it in real-life situations.
Secondly, discussion and project-based approaches are student-centered, allowing students to take ownership of their learning. In this approach, the teacher acts as a facilitator, guiding students through the learning process while students take the lead in their own learning. This approach empowers students to learn at their own pace, explore their interests and develop their problem-solving and collaborative skills.
On the other hand, the lecture-based approach has several limitations.
Students can become passive learners, where they are only expected to listen and take notes without actively engaging in the learning process. This approach may not cater to different learning styles, and students who may not learn best by listening may struggle to understand the subject matter. Additionally, students may not retain the information provided in a lecture-based approach, as they may not be able to apply the information in real-life situations.
In conclusion, the discussion and project-based approach are more effective for student's learning as it promotes active engagement, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. It also empowers students to take ownership of their learning, explore their interests, and retain the information better than a lecture-based approach.
这篇文章,首先令人羡慕的是语法和词汇,虽然在课堂上我们一再强调使用目前水准能驾驭的词汇和句型就好(这实际上是为了短时间内出分迫不得已的选择,真正体现写作水准高低的,到最后还是要看词汇语法和修辞),这篇在词汇和语法这块已经达到了满分?,用词用语相当地道,我们之前虽然也有很多的同学在写作这块拿到过满分,但是论语言的运用,肯定比不了语料库齐全的AI系统。
从评分来看,首先看文章是否扣题,有没有货不对版的情况出现。这篇基本上扣题还是比较准的,写作也都围绕自己观点进行论述,没有出现模棱两可,但是呢,文章的观点之间实际上有互相交叠的成分存在,每个观点似乎并没有整理或者总结清楚,或者说,我们实际上有更好的表达方式来应对这篇文章给出的语料。
作为一个写作老师,这篇文章是给不出满分的,因为写作本身有很大一部分是需要说服他人。整体而言,这篇文章的论述还是很不错的,但实际上,我们在说服他人的过程中可以加入一些更丰富的元素,比如举例子来证明自己的观点,增加文章的丰富性和可信度。其次,在写作过程当中,可以围绕一个观点把事情写明白,但是这篇通篇下来文章观点和内容都比较多,但是论述过程有时候稍微有一丢丢的偏移,所以,综合下来,总分大概能有25-26左右。
我们可以借鉴AI给出的资料和一些观点,也可以通过阅读ChatGPT给出的文章学习一些词汇和语言的表达。但是可以在论述的过程中用上更多专门属于应试的课堂上讲过的内容进行扩展和调整,从而保证写作的应试质量。
