大家新年快乐！我是SK2的Rosa，由于每周顾问时间都会发现同学共同的写
作问题，
因此，趁新年有空的时间，来写一篇关于审题的心得，希望能够帮助同学写
作拿高分。
很多同学可能会感到疑惑，自己的用词遣字明明是GRE等级的，文法超好，
而且也有使用比较高级的句型，为什么写作分数仍然是23呢？
也有同学说明明这次写得很顺，却只拿21？这到底是怎么回事呢？
其实，写作最重要的是审题。题目要看清楚。假如偏题了，即使写得再好，
分数只会有21左右，因为你没有回答到题目。
托福的题目也越来越难，题目既长又很难想像。近期考过试的版友会发现光
是看题目，就要看老半天了。
既然审题这么重要，我们先来练习看看审题。
Is it necessary for high school students to do household work
after school to help build their sense of responsibility?
这题你会怎么审题想点呢？这是最近的机经题目喔！
请你审题完后，写出三个主题句来。（主题句即是中间段落的第一句话，也
是你三个理由。）
1.
2.
3.
这题在问的是做家事与培养责任感之间的关联性，因此，同学应该先定义“
有责任感的高中生”，再看看是否与做家事有关联。
譬如：我认为有责任感的高中生能够管理自己的时间，很独立，还拥有绝佳
的领导能力。而我认为做家事能够帮助高中生有效运用自己的时间，学会独
立，也能够借由指挥家事培养领导能力。
因此，我选择同意。
这时候，确定有回答到题目，再写出三个主题句，同学可以比较你的主题句
以及我写的主题句。观察哪个比较清楚？为什么？哪个主题句感觉更加切
题。
主题句里我会先定义WHO的特色，也就是有责任感的高中生有什么特色。
再讲WHAT（选择）的关联性，也就是做家事是否与有责任感的高中生有关？
First of all, to be responsible, high school kids should learn how
to manage their time, and doing household work can help them
develop good time management skills.
Secondly, responsible high school students are often independent,
and doing household chores can train them to become independent
people.
Finally, high school kids should learn how to lead a team, and
doing household chores can help them become better leaders.
同学是否注意到我的每一个主题句都只谈一个概念？不会出现not only...but also..
两个想法的主题句，为什么呢？因为读者一次无法接受太多讯息，主题句一个概念时
读者能够更容易理解。
最后有了清楚的主题句后，再去发展各段的例子。发展例子的这部分，版友
可以参考David写过的wordbank一文，好好练习之后，相信必定能拥有超强
发展例子的能力。

这时候我的wordbank长这样：
manage time=> save more time, keep schedule, finish…on time
independent=> take good care of oneself, rely on oneself,
make own decision
leader=> give orders, supervise, take responsibility, in charge
有了wordbank之后，放入文中，再加上开头，结尾段，就变成以下这篇文
章：
Should high school kids do housework after school to become more
responsible? People adopt different stands toward this issue. Some
might contend that doing housework is a waste of time, while
others feel that housework is a good opportunity for students to
become more mature. As for me, I strongly argue that it is indeed
necessary for high school students to do household work to help
develop a sense of responsibility.
First of all, to be responsible, high school kids should learn how
to manage their time, and doing household work can help them
develop good time management skills. For example, when I was in
senior high, I had to wash dishes every day. Therefore, I learned
how to do my chores quickly to save more time for studying and
relaxing. On the other hand, my little brother did not do any
housework, so he always struggled to keep his schedule.
Furthermore, he often found he couldn’t finish his projects on
time.
Secondly, responsible high school students are often independent,
and doing household chores can train them to become independent
people. For instance, when my sister was a high school kid, she
had to cook for herself, and take out the trash. As a result, she
knew how to take care of herself. That is ,she rarely relied on
anyone and she can make her own decisions. On the contrary, since
my little brother did not do any housework when he was in high
school, he always depend on my mom for allowance. Even today, I
still pay his phone bills for him. Apparently, doing household
work can allow a kid to cultivate independence.
Finally, high school kids should learn how to lead a team, and
doing household chores can help them become better leaders. Take
my personal experience as an example. When we clean the house
together, I have to give orders and see that every one does his or
her own work. My sister is in charge of dusting the floor, while I
am responsible for picking up the trash. As a result, when I was
in university, I was often elected as leaders in group projects.
Moreover, statistics show that a lot of students who had been
class leaders often were responsible for the main household chores
in their families.
In conclusion, it is essential for high school students to do
housework to become responsible. After all, in order to be
responsible, high schools students should learn how to manage
their time, how to take good care of themselves and how to lead,
and doing household chores can train them to do so.
看完了这篇文章后，同学是否有发现我的例子每句话都跟主题句有关呢？整段都在谈
同一个概念。这样例子便会很有说服力。
最后，于开头，结论段简单说出立场以及重申理由，就可以了。
记得，只要能够清楚审题，还有写出清楚，切题的主题句，便已成功一半
囉！假如还能够有具体且相关的例子，那么写作要拿Good就更容易了！
还是觉得写作有些难吗？写作课第一堂课刚好教如何审题想点，
