新托福寫作范文素材：里約奧運會
寫作精彩段落
As the Olympic symbol demonstrates, the strength of cooperation, combined with the significance of every nation's participation, is far greater than winning a competition.
△ combine with 將...聯(lián)結起來，是托福寫作中經(jīng)常使用的短語，如：
One feature of pre-school education is that educators need to combine interesting subject matter with practical knowledge, in order to ensure that young students will not be tired of studying even before they step into the first grade.
學前教育的一個特點就是：為了保障年輕的學生(甚至在讀一年級之前)不厭倦學習，教育者需要將有趣的知識和實際的知識結合起來。
△真實的“里約大冒險“
△ combined 在托福寫作中，作為形容詞出現(xiàn)，解釋為“共同的”、“一起的”，如：
This problem could not be solved without the combined efforts dedicated by each technician.
這個問題離開了每一位機械師的共同的努力，就沒有辦法得到解決。其中combined還可以替換為joint。
適用考題
Governments should spend more money supporting arts than athletics, such as state-sponsored Olympic teams. (2013.12.7)
