在托福考试当中，写作一直是很多考生头疼的一部分。中国考生往往对阅读和听力这种输入型的测试比较在行，而写作是一种输出性的测试，要求考生具备一定的逻辑来组织和输出语言，同学们的作文常常因整体语言过于简单或偏口语化而拿不了高分。

　　因此要写出一篇出彩的托福独立写作作文，我们需要从两个方面入手：思路和语言。好的思路是通过练习解题形成，而好的语言则是积累语料得来。

　　就“语料”而，我们平时在看作文范文的时候很大一个任务就是要从中选取自己可以运用的“语料库”。同学们也可以读英文原版的文章、新闻甚至是托福阅读文章，找到自己能运用的词、句子或者是论点，从而像堆积木一样堆积成自己的作文。

　　下面通过一道真题为大家讲解如何在作文范文中积累“语料”：

　　题目：

　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement？ Students could receive a better， more efficient education if they spend 11 month a year studying.

　　下面是一小段范文段落：

　　What’s more， students need spare time to develop other skills that would benefit their development in turn. People need breaks from their work and study to recreate， to relax， and to be refilled. Also， students should spend time in social activities to develop their skills. For example， party with friends can promote one’s communicating skills when they go around among strangers and try to make friends with them. Also， organizing a social event like a campus music concert can boost one’s leadership skill when they have to lead a group of people and make the final decisions. What’s more， some social activities like a fund raise for the poor can help students to notice the current concerns and issues of the world. All these skills will have a great impact on students’ future development.

　　在这个范文段落中有哪些内容可以用作我们的“语料”呢？

　　我们先来看下这句话“For example， party with friends can promote one’s communicating skills when they go around among strangers and try to make friends with them.”

　　这句话中“promote one’s communicating skills”的中文意思是“提高沟通能力”。那我们还能怎么运用这句话呢？

　　比如，当你遇到以下题目“social activities和classes哪个更重要？”，你就可以写“social activities更重要，因为它能promote one’s communicating skills.”

　　再如，当你遇到的题目是“你是选择big company还是small company工作？”， 你就可以写“选择big company工作，因为人多，可以promote my communicating skills”。

　　最后，“work alone与work in a team哪个更加好？”你就可以写“work in a team更好，因为可以promote one’s communicating skills”

　　托福写作备考的过程中语料的积累是很关键的。
