对于托福写作，大家在拿到题目的时候，如何能够吃透题目，合理的布局好自己的作文呢?其实这是提高托福写作分数的关键所在，也是难点所在。小编为大家整理了五点托福写作解题的技巧，供大家参考学习。

　托福写作五大解题技巧

仔细审题，分析提示句，明确三方面问题

切题是写好文章最重要的前提。有的考生抱怨，文章内容丰富、语言生动流畅，得分却不高。其实，文章跑题是分数偏低的主要原因。因此，审好题、审清题在很大程度上关系到整篇文章的成败。审题，不仅要仔细研究题目，还要结合给出的提示句加以分析。首先要明确文章要写的内容，即文章要围绕什么主题来写，这是保证整篇文章切题的关键其次，确定文章所需的主语人称，人称混乱是中国学生常犯的一个毛病，而在审题阶段确定人称是避免文章人称混乱的有效途径第三，注意文章对动词的时态、语气有无特殊要求。

围绕提示句，构建文章框架

草拟提纲时，要紧紧围绕提示句，尤其是提示句的关键词，尽量多地扩展提示句所提供的信息，从而基本构筑出文章的框架。在扩展提示句时，要注意，可以原封不动地照抄提示句中的关键词，但是绝对不要照搬提示句中的词组和句子，一定要变换意思相同的表达进行替换，这是显示考生语言应用能力的重要一环。为了避免段落内容跑题，要从提示句中的关键词出发，围绕关键词开拓思路，发挥联想，记录下所联想到的东西：可以是句子，也可以是词组可以是英语，也可以是汉语。然后对所记录的内容进行筛选，选择最有代表性的内容草拟出文章的提纲。

依据所拟提纲，写出全文主旨句及段落主题句

全文主旨句涵盖全文的核心内容，而段落主题句则是统领段落中心内容的。段落主题句是为全文主旨句服务的。很多同学对全文主旨句缺乏，甚至无法区分全文主旨句和段落主题句。提出全文主旨时，应注意下面的问题：

旨通常是一个包含所写的主旨要义，即中心思想的单一的陈述句

主旨对文章的展开加以限制

主旨不能用短语、从句、或疑问句

主旨应该明确具体，但主旨如果过于具体化就无法展开文章的写作

同一个标题可以有不同的主旨，所选主旨必须侧重标题的某一不同方面的内容

主旨必须揭示的观点和态度。

为使大家更透彻地全文主旨句，请大家先仔细阅读下列句子，判断哪些句子是有效的主旨句，并说明理由：

主旨过窄，无法展开来写，是无效的主旨。

有效主旨，既不过于宽泛也不过于细节，留有继续拓展的余地。

这句话话题过大，无法把握，用几十万字的篇幅来叙述也未必说得够详尽。作为主旨显得过宽，比较含糊，不能让读者明白想写什么，因而是无效主旨。

根据英美人的写作习惯，全文主旨句在文章首段的最后一句出现为宜。全文主旨句和段落主题句是思维的起点，切题的准绳。好的段落主题句，不但切题，便于围绕主旨句进行扩展，而又常常给读者一种一针见血的感受。看到段落主题句，读者应大致段落要阐述的内容，因而段落主题句通常是一个语法结构完整、内容概括、用词简洁、明了的单句。通常将段落主题句置于段落的开头，可使文章结构更清晰，说服力更强。

参照提纲，紧扣主题句，完成段落

有了段落主题句后，还需要顺着段落主题句的方向，参照提纲中的思路，从而完成各个段落。写作段落时，要尽可能多地搜集细节来支持主题。下面给考生呈上有关“电视对孩子不良影响”的引言段、各段主题句及结论部分，供大家欣赏参考：

检查和修改

托福考试时间紧张，匆匆完稿之后，疏漏在所难免，因而有必要复查，修改，及时纠正偏差，堵塞漏洞，从而将作文质量再提高一步。

　　托福写作范文：经济危机时政府减少支出

托福独立写作题目：

In times of an economic crisis, in which area should governments reduce its spending? 1. Arts 2. Scientific research 3. Parks and public gardens.

托福写作模板及参考答案：

托福写作范文参考:

During an economic crisis, governments face difficult choices of monetary allocation with reduced budgets. In this challenging time, it is of vital importance for policy-makers to recognize the effectiveness of policy-making on certain social services or programs such as arts, scientific research and park and public gardens. If a choice has to be made, in my opinion, the government should reduce its spending on arts.

To begin with, in times of an economic crisis, it is significant for policy-makers to recognize the necessity of investing in scientific research because it exerts a far-reaching effect. If the financial crisis leads to substantial cuts in funding for scientific research by governments, it will be difficult to muster investment for a public good, like clean air, or for extremely risky initiatives, such as novel approaches to new antibiotic drugs, or in areas where the outcome is uncertain. As a matter of fact, technological innovation, biomedical breakthroughs, and tackling pressing environmental issues all require sustained scientific development, from basic discovery to final application. Investing in research is investing in the future, and it requires a long-term commitment to the accumulation of knowledge, the testing of basic principles, and the translation of these discoveries into practical applications that impact everyday life. Consequently, governments ought to attach more importance to the scientific studies so as to develop world class research base and conduct crucial scientific projects.

Furthermore, funding for parks and public gardens provides an opportunity for people to engage in physical activities, which is considerably beneficial to health. Nowadays, due to the sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy eating diet, overweight and obesity are epidemic problems across the world, and related conditions are on the rise. A primary focus of attention is providing environment where people can be physically active. Parks offer such an opportunity. In addition, health studies have shown that people who do regular exercise get a range of benefits when they are in natural settings, like parks and public gardens. These benefits include reduced risk of premature death; reduced risk of heart disease, hypertension, cancer; improved maintenance of muscle strength; weight loss and favorable redistribution of body fat; improved physical functioning. Therefore, when governments allocate fiscal spending on parks such as well-designed and well-maintained paths as well as attractive scenery, people can substantially improve their health and quality of life by doing moderate amounts of physical activity in their daily lives.

Undeniably, if governments pay more attention to investment in art, people can enrich inner world as a diverse and productive cultural environment can provide the spirit and important intangible values. However, in times of crisis, people usually lay emphasis on basic needs instead of spiritual needs. As a result, the importance of material comforts outweighs that of nourishment for the mind and it does not mean that people’s quality of life will be dramatically affected if governments cut budget on art and provide less financial support on art institutions. In a sense, it will not directly influence people’s life at least in a short term because people rarely need to satisfy their aesthetic needs everyday. Therefore, compared with scientific research and park and public gardens, art is least associated with people’s daily life and it needs less concern.

From what has been discussed above, scientific studies serve the common interest of the entire human race and doing exercise in parks and public gardens constitutes an indispensable part of daily life. It is more applicable and reasonable to cut down spending on art in the times of an economic crisis.

2016年3月13日托福独立写作范文一(新东方 周徐敏)

The prevailing notion is that high school students are under huge pressure. Then appears a controversy whether students should have one year to engage in other things before they attend their university. After weighing the pros and cons, I am favor of the opinion that having a gap year can produce many benefits.

First off, students can benefit a lot from traveling. As everyone knows, to maintain strong competitiveness, high school students are required to accomplish a wide range of either required or optional curriculums at school and the rights to develop their own interests have been deprived relentlessly, which has proven to be a detriment of their growth. Instead of pursuing their bachelor degree without pause in the college, traveling can help them regain chances to cultivate and perfect their personalities and release pressure. For instance, many more college graduates are reported to be indifferent to the society and show no mercy on those in need, part of which owes a lot to the fact that schools lay more emphasis on cultivating students’ academic abilities and downplay the importance of developing their overall qualities. Traveling to those places in poverty can give students a sight of those impoverished families to call on the sense of responsibility. Besides, by paying a visit to some places of interest like the Great Wall or the pyramid in Egypt, students can approach the greatness of diverse culture. What’s more, the direct access to the natural world can appease students’ inner uproar. Accordingly, a gap year can be a great asset for high school graduates.

Secondly, by taking part-time jobs, not only can students accumulate sufficient social experience but also earn some money to reduce financial stress on their families. Though economy in China keeps growing at a rate of almost 9 percent in the recent, average citizens still suffer huge pressure especially when the slump of stock market took a heavy toll on them and the majority of stock investors withdrew their money and reinvest to the real estate, further increasing pressure on the ordinary because of the increasing prices of housing. For most families from small cities and rural areas, college tuition still appears to be a great burden on them and by taking part-time jobs, students can earn some wages to relieve financial pressure, such as serving as a restaurant attendant that enables students to better develop their communication techniques and learn more about how to meet the demands of consumers or working as a salesman that will be an entirely different experience from high schools and can lead to the cultivation of the ability of presenting customers the advantages of products. Obviously, a gap year means a lot to high school graduates.

Admittedly, there is another voice that high school students are supposed to start their campus life immediately after graduation from high schools. To be more specific, maintaining high-efficiency study can lead students to be better acclimated to their college life. Instead of going to college soon, a gap year may disrupt their study schedule and weaken their learning skills. It appears to be sensible, however; the ultimate goal of attending a university is to seek a decent job and gaining social experience in advance makes students more conscious of which kind of area they are more interested in in the near future such as the serving industry or high-tech fields.

In conclusion, high school graduates had better live a different life temporarily before they go to college. (582 words)
