托福獨(dú)立寫(xiě)作 —— “舉例論證”套路深
"exemplification"是托福獨(dú)立寫(xiě)作行文論證中的一個(gè)要點(diǎn)。
今天，我們以2019年5月4日和2018年9月2日的真題為例給大家一些關(guān)于exemplification的建議(內(nèi)容、篇幅、位置、技巧)。
2018年9月2日 獨(dú)立寫(xiě)作題目
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
The best way for a teacher to help students get interested in a subject is to explain how this subject will help students live better outside school.
寫(xiě)作范文
【立場(chǎng)：同意】
【下文的(長(zhǎng))段落是一個(gè)舉例論證的經(jīng)典用法】
段落開(kāi)始是中心句：First, when students are fully aware that what they learn have economic benefits, they are likely to put in time and energy for the sake of money.
然后，用例子去詮釋道理：For instance, a teacher of writing may fail when the teacher tries to interest the students with big reasons like brain development or a display of intellect. As a matter of fact, the teacher could relate the proficiency in writing togood argumentation skills. The teacher could let the students know that when bargaining with employers over salaries, employees need to make a compelling case, and that learning writing is to foster the skills in developing a good line of reasoning. Students may be motivated as a result.
這個(gè)例子的篇幅為88 words。例子結(jié)束時(shí)，段落的行文就結(jié)束了。
【下文的(短)段落仍然是舉例論證的經(jīng)典用法】
段落開(kāi)始時(shí)說(shuō)兩句(最多三句)道理：Teachers could also demonstrate other practical uses of a subject, such as dating and socializing. Students may be intrigued since these activities are essential in one’s personal life.
然后，用例子去詮釋道理：One of my peer teachers always tells his students that knowing fun facts of history can impress girls. As the boys in the class hear that, they show great interest in History. Obviously, which of the boys does not want to create a good impression on the girl he likes?
這個(gè)例子的篇幅為50 word。例子結(jié)束時(shí)，段落的行文就結(jié)束了。
這兩個(gè)段落都是把例子放在了最經(jīng)典的位置：講述道理之后。并且，例子的結(jié)束就是段落的結(jié)束。
例子的內(nèi)容都是有細(xì)節(jié)的：兩個(gè)例子里都提及了具體 subject以及對(duì)應(yīng)的具體benefit。
2019年5月4日 獨(dú)立寫(xiě)作題目
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
The most important goal of education is to teach people how to educate themselves.
寫(xiě)作范文
【立場(chǎng)：同意】
段落開(kāi)始時(shí)說(shuō)一句道理(不是段落中心句，而是道理的開(kāi)始)：Some knowledge, constantly updated, is not permanent and may expire.
然后立刻用一個(gè)例子去詮釋道理(例子沒(méi)有出現(xiàn)在道理完全說(shuō)完的時(shí)候，而是立刻詮釋上一句：For example, in the worlds of physics and chemistry, some equations, principles or formulas that used to be gold have been disproven.
這個(gè)例子的篇幅為22 word。
繼續(xù)講道理(依托例子)，并且把道理講完：In this constant change, no educational institutions are able to teach all of the knowledge about the world in the given time, and a person needs to possess the ability to learn independently after the time, and the ability needs to be fostered when the person is still in school.
然后，用例子去詮釋道理(但是在例子出現(xiàn)前，有一個(gè)短句過(guò)渡)：This is important. 例子出現(xiàn)，詮釋道理的主要部分：Take my father as an example, and he can well represent the whole generation whose knowledge learned during their college years may be outdated. Thanks to their ability to educate themselves developed during the college time, they are able to keep pace with the updates of knowledge and are still active in the workplace. They would otherwise be replaced with the younger workforce, whose education teaches the latest knowledge.
這個(gè)例子的篇幅為69 word。例子結(jié)束時(shí)，段落的行文就結(jié)束了。
這個(gè)段落里，有兩個(gè)例子，一“大”一“小”。 兩個(gè)例子的內(nèi)容是有細(xì)節(jié)的：具體的 subjects，具體的人物。
大例子出現(xiàn)在最經(jīng)典的位置：講述道理完畢，例子出現(xiàn)。并且，例子的結(jié)束就是段落的結(jié)束。值得注意的是：這個(gè)段落里的“小”例子是適時(shí)的出現(xiàn)在講道理的過(guò)程中的，而不是等道理全部講完再有例子?？磥?lái)，舉例論證并不一定是一個(gè)論證段落里只能有一個(gè)例子，當(dāng)一句話描述一個(gè)道理后，都可以立刻用一個(gè)例子去詮釋。當(dāng)然，這個(gè)段落里，最后又回到了經(jīng)典結(jié)構(gòu)，道理說(shuō)完時(shí)，“大”例子壓軸。
那么，問(wèn)題來(lái)了：是不是主體部分的段落都需要經(jīng)典形式的“大”例子壓軸呢?下一期寫(xiě)作范文為你揭曉……

托福寫(xiě)作開(kāi)頭如何用兩方觀點(diǎn)描述
托福寫(xiě)作一個(gè)很大的部分就是開(kāi)頭的好壞，先不論托福綜合寫(xiě)作模板中的一些寫(xiě)法，托福寫(xiě)作范文中有不少對(duì)獨(dú)立寫(xiě)作部分都有一種特殊的開(kāi)頭寫(xiě)法。
那么我們都知道，一篇較好的托福作文需要字?jǐn)?shù)達(dá)到400-450左右，然而我們的規(guī)定時(shí)間只有短短的30分鐘，可想而知，托福寫(xiě)作的字?jǐn)?shù)壓力還是比較大的。所以我們建議，開(kāi)頭段不應(yīng)該占據(jù)太多時(shí)間，我們應(yīng)該多留一些時(shí)間給后面主體段的擴(kuò)展，讓文章更加充實(shí)。通常開(kāi)頭段的要求是字?jǐn)?shù)在70-100詞左右，時(shí)間控制在3-5分鐘。不排除有些學(xué)生拿到題目就能文思泉涌的敲出一篇開(kāi)頭，但是對(duì)于大多數(shù)學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)，緊張的時(shí)間再加上緊張的情緒，在開(kāi)頭段就會(huì)卡殼。那么針對(duì)這大多數(shù)的情況，我們有沒(méi)有什么解決辦法呢?今天，我們就介紹一種比較好用的適用于開(kāi)頭的托福綜合寫(xiě)作模版，這種方法有個(gè)專業(yè)的名字叫做“背景爭(zhēng)議法”。
既然名字都叫背景爭(zhēng)議了，那么大家猜猜看，這個(gè)方法大致能分為幾個(gè)部分呢?首先是背景，何謂背景，也是就一種引入話題的高超技術(shù);其次是爭(zhēng)議，什么叫爭(zhēng)議，也就是你同意我不同意，這個(gè)部分就是正反方觀點(diǎn);最后，再回到我們所強(qiáng)調(diào)的開(kāi)頭的主要任務(wù)，最重要的是表明自己的立場(chǎng)。那么總結(jié)來(lái)說(shuō)，背景爭(zhēng)議法的三要素就是背景、正反方觀點(diǎn)和個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)。那么接下來(lái)我們用一個(gè)題目來(lái)看看，這種方法要怎么使用。
Do you agree or disagree: money is the most important aspect in a job?
首先拿到這個(gè)題目，我們可以看到要談?wù)摰氖清X對(duì)于工作的重要性，那么在開(kāi)頭段我們要如何引入話題呢?我們可以這樣寫(xiě)：
In contemporary society, it has become a hot issue that whether money is the most important aspect in a job. People’s opinions about it vary from person to person.
“在現(xiàn)代社會(huì)，錢到底是不是工作中最重要的部分，這個(gè)話題引起了大家的熱烈討論，大家的觀點(diǎn)各不相同”。很顯然，這是個(gè)引入主題的好方法。
接下來(lái)是正反方觀點(diǎn)，也就是一些人同意而另一些人不同意的部分了：
A number of supporters of that viewpoint claim that money is very important on account of its necessity to satisfy our daily needs, but other people who are opposite to that view hold that other factors like interest and social liability are also significant aspects in a job.
可以看到，我們?cè)谕懈?xiě)作范文中介紹各方觀點(diǎn)的時(shí)候可以適當(dāng)?shù)募由弦幌履憧梢韵氲降暮?jiǎn)單理由來(lái)幫我們填充開(kāi)頭。
最后一部分是個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)，也就是表達(dá)自己看法的時(shí)候，大家對(duì)于這個(gè)應(yīng)該是非常擅長(zhǎng)了，無(wú)非就是就我個(gè)人來(lái)說(shuō)，我的看法是什么：
As for as I am concerned, I am convinced that money is not always the most important.
我們可以看到，背景爭(zhēng)議法的開(kāi)頭寫(xiě)法結(jié)構(gòu)和思路都是非常清晰的。
托福范文：書(shū)本知識(shí)與實(shí)際經(jīng)驗(yàn)
【題目】
It has been said, "Not everything that is learned is contained in books." Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?
【范文】 Book Knowledge vs Experience
Knowledge can be acquired from many sources. These include books, teachers and practical experience, and each has its own advantages. The knowledge we gain from books and formal education enables us to learn about things that we have no opportunity to experience in daily life. We can study all the places in the world and learn from people we will never meet in our lifetime, just by reading about them in books. We can also develop our analytical skills and learn how to view and interpret the world around us in different ways. Furthermore, we can learn from the past by reading books. In this way, we won't repeat the mistakes of others and can build on their achievements.
Practical experience, on the other hand, can give us more useful knowledge. It is said that one learns best by doing, and I believe that this is true, whether one is successful or not. In fact, I think making mistakes is the best way to learn. Moreover, if one wants to make new advances, it is necessary to act. Innovations do not come about through reading but through experimentation. Finally, one can apply the skills and insights gained through the study of books to practical experience, making an already meaningful experience more meaningful. However, unless it is applied to real experiences, book knowledge remains theoretical and, in the end, is useless. That is why I believe that knowledge gained from practical experience is more important than that acquired from books.
【參考譯文】 書(shū)本知識(shí)與實(shí)際經(jīng)驗(yàn)
獲得知識(shí)的來(lái)源有很多，其中包括書(shū)本、老師，以及實(shí)際經(jīng)驗(yàn)，而每一種都有其優(yōu)點(diǎn)。從書(shū)本上及正規(guī)教育中所獲得的知識(shí)使我們知道在日常生活中沒(méi)有機(jī)會(huì)親身去體驗(yàn)的事。通過(guò)讀書(shū)，我們可以研究世界各地的資料，還可以向不曾謀面的人學(xué)習(xí)。我們也可以培養(yǎng)分析的技巧，并學(xué)習(xí)如何以不同的方式去觀察并理解周圍的世界。此外，我們可以通過(guò)讀書(shū)，從歷史中獲取教訓(xùn)。如此一來(lái)，就不會(huì)再重復(fù)別人的錯(cuò)誤，并且能夠以他人的成就作為我們行動(dòng)的基礎(chǔ)。
另一方面，實(shí)際經(jīng)驗(yàn)?zāi)軌蚪o我們更多有用的知識(shí)。大家都說(shuō)從做中學(xué)的效果最好，我也認(rèn)為的確如此，無(wú)論一個(gè)人成功與否。事實(shí)上，我認(rèn)為犯錯(cuò)是最好的學(xué)習(xí)方式。此外，如果想要有新的進(jìn)展，就必須要付諸行動(dòng)。想要?jiǎng)?chuàng)新，只靠閱讀是不夠的，必須要去實(shí)踐。最后，我們可以將通過(guò)讀書(shū)所獲得的技巧和見(jiàn)解應(yīng)用于實(shí)際經(jīng)驗(yàn)中，使得原本有意義的經(jīng)驗(yàn)變得更有意義。不過(guò)，除非我們能將書(shū)本知識(shí)運(yùn)用于實(shí)際經(jīng)驗(yàn)中，否則書(shū)本知識(shí)終究仍只是理論，毫無(wú)用處。那就是為什么我會(huì)認(rèn)為從實(shí)際經(jīng)驗(yàn)中獲得的知識(shí)比從書(shū)本中所得到的知識(shí)更為重要。
