托福写作的技巧_托福写作
我觉得托福写作是托福里最简单的一项了，它简单到是可以出口成章的。但同时，它又和阅读听力不一样，阅读听力的方法早已被固化，各个机构的方法大同小异；而托福写作就不一样了，在找观点找论据找理由这方面，各个机构的教学就相差甚远，很少有相似之处。
【综合写作】
关于综合写作，每个机构都有自己的模板，网上也都是成群地飞。我当时是把模板背好，在考场上先默写下来，紧接着把观点等等填进去，就成了一篇综合写作作文，这其实不难。
【独立写作】
身边的同学都被陷在了关于理由、论据、例子等等当中，我觉得大可不必。从我的体验来看，托福写作根本不是关于你的想法的考试，而只是关于你写作手法和技巧的考试，换言之，关于你的模板的考试。和托福口语一样，市面上和网上关于写作的模板和教程不计其数，我不评论他们的观点和靠谱性，只是觉得模板一点都不完善。
昨天去打桥牌，老师一直在讲他自己的体系怎么完善，这让我想到托福写作。我发现写作比口语更注重逻辑，也更注重体系的完善。模板也好，段式的分部也罢，都是体系。而这个体系不在于好不好使或者花不花哨，只在于完不完善。
我个人认为好的体系就是八股文，我把托福作文分成这八股：
首段：屁话、立场
中间段：两个理由写两段
末段：让步、立场、援引
我解释一下：
屁话是那种无关痛痒，恨不得帮着评分老师分析一下题目的话，比如题目Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: The most important problems affecting our society today can be solved within our lifetime。
对于这个题目，我曾经写过的屁话是：With the rapid development of the world, people could not predict what will happen in the future easily or accurately, because things are changing fast and becoming completely different than before. Under this situation, it is hard to say what will stay unchanged in the next decades. Consequently, many people think the problems affecting our society today can be solved within our lifetime. However, some people think even the world is changing so fast, many problems such as environmental issues can only be enhanced instead of being solved.
屁话的主要作用就在于凑字数，但同时又凸显出一个最重要的写作能力：语句的结构和逻辑。一个人先干了什么，所以导致了什么，而后来又引发了什么，所以我得出了什么结论。这之类的逻辑顺序要清晰明了。同时，多加“有人…而另外有人…”这样的屁话，使。但同时不要为了凑字数或凑定语从句而过于夸张和矫情地阐述，毕竟，车轱辘话来回说就不好了。
而立场则是你观点和理由的阐述，这句话必须出现在首段的最后，而同时也完全可以用这个模板：Personally, I think the most important problems affecting our society today can be solved with our lifetime. Specifically speaking, first, the technology will help people solve the problems more efficiently; second, people’s horizon will be expanded in the future and it will be easier to solve the problems.
大家可以看到的逗号和分号，而没有那么多句号。我觉得尤其在这种总结性的句子当中，把他们全部组合成一个句子完全是没有问题的，分号的使用也是托福写作的一个关键。
说到立场，又回到了有无数人为之而烦恼的理由和例子上。我觉得我们不要正面回答题目所提出的问题，也不要试图去解决这个问题，这和写申请文书不一样，没必要有思想，重要的是要好写。其实很像中国的作文考试，我们找几个的题材就可以了。如下：
Firstly, the advanced and well-developed technology will help people solve the problems more efficiently in ways we could not imagine. In many fields, people could use technology to solve the problems easily. For example, in many polluted and dry areas, people could shoot some special chemical compounds into the sky in order to make the sky cleaner and brighter. Additionally, people could also use compounds to precipitate the rainfall. A statistic data shows, if people use special technology, their efficiency would be largely increased about 60%. Additionally, about 50% of the severe problems at present could not be solved without technology. Scientist also indicates that if people use the technology frequently, after 60 years, 70% of the present problems will be solved. From the data, I learned it is really important to use the technology, because it could largely increase people’s working efficiency in order to solve the problems earlier.
一般来讲，我自创的模板就是里面要说a scientific research怎么怎么样，并且我的两个好朋友Tom和Peter怎么怎么样，至于他们具体干了什么或是他们干的事儿到底和解决问题有没有关系，根本不需要管，只需要管好在结尾怎么总结好、扯回题目中心就行了。回顾我上面那段，不就是扯淡吗！但是在托福里就是好使。
到了末段，我觉得到了让步的时候了。其实这个让步就是个however的事儿，可以把让步放到首段，也可以放到末段；如果放到末段，那么就可以在首段写屁话；如果在首段写让步，那就在末段写总结性屁话；总而言之，让步和屁话都是要出现的。具体怎么写however之类的让步，我觉得写作课都已经教烂了，不用我赘述。
末段让步：Admittedly, many significant improvements have already taken place in the society and it is hard to have the problems solved. However, people still have ways to solve problems especially when people reach a consensus. Therefore, I think the most important problems affecting our society today can be solved with our lifetime.
末段总结性屁话：My point of view can be stated clearly by the reasons: first, the technology will help people solve the problems more efficiently; second, people’s horizon will be expanded in the future and it will be easier to solve the problems.（其实总结性屁话就是把首段的中心句copy到这儿）。
援引：When people address this issue, it is not supposed to forget a Chinese writer’s claim, “technology and knowledge will be really helpful in the future”.
独立写作就是这么一个八股文，所以我觉得大家不用把它想得有多难。
我学托福写作之前，FCE写作的分惨不忍睹，现在的同学都比那时的我强，所以大家肯定能组织好语言并创造出自己的模板。我临考前，看到一个题目，20秒之内肯定能想出固定的套好的理由。有一次我给爸爸妈妈表演，他们说一个题目，我紧接着就把作文出口成章地说了出来。
我觉得基础好的同学不用花太多时间在托福写作上，只要有师资点拨，入门会很快，开始可以先练习写屁话首段，然后是末段，最后是中间段，考前保持着一天一篇作文的量，坚持下来，肯定会取得理想的成绩！
尽管说得简单，模板等等对于能力好的同学也都是一两天的事儿，但我仍觉得托福写作除了我刚刚说的逻辑外，还有一个需要注意的地方。
托福写作就是套路，但和我说的托福口语不一样的是，要好好地被局限在模板和套路中，大可省去临场发挥亦或是思想的喷涌，
