大家好，我是SK2 TOEFL 的Lia。
在写作文时，不知道各位是否会有不太确定如何切入题目，
审题想点的问题。
在之前的写作系列文里，我曾经和大家提过审题想点的重要。
今天，我想直接就两个题目，分享我的切入面向以帮助大家在写托福作文
时，更了解何谓“审题”，“如何想点”，又可以如何将自己的元件变成一
篇完整的作文！欢迎有兴趣的同学参考～
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are
the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support
your answer.
看到这道题目，第一个要抓出的就是题目的句子结构：
Parents 是不是 “最好的老师”呢？因此，这里同学应该要先“定义何谓
好的老师”，再来观察“家长”这个身份有无“符合你对好老师的定义”。
遇到这个题目，很多同学会直接想到“家长们因为‘身教’，是影响孩子最
深切的人”，这是自然地，要注意的是，如何将这个概念，用语法正确的英
文写出来。“身教”此二字要如何切换成英文句子？这是必须要经过思考
的。万一没有想好就开始下笔，整篇文章的结构便会变得混乱。
Lia的写作方法：定义好的老师 —> 列出好老师的条件 —> 回头观察家长
的特质（有无与方才定义相符？）—> 思考如何写出想法，并动笔将刚才想
过的逻辑连起来。
Best teachers: would give students a
characteristic to remember Best teachers: would teach out of
genuine care and love Best teachers: would possess authority
Parents do indeed fit these qualities —>
写出主题句：
First of all, a good teacher would always teach by presenting
students a vivid demonstration; since parents always unconsciously
become role models for children to copy from, they are indeed the
best teachers. This is because parents spend long hours together
with their child; thus, it is natural for a kid to copy from his
mother.
Secondly, a good teacher teaches out of genuine care and love.
Undoubtedly, compared to other people, a parent is more likely to
fit this quality because she is the one that raises the child.
Last but not least, a best teacher is defined as one who possess
authority. Since parents have the biggest right and the biggest
duty to guide their child, they can be said as the best teachers.
特别注意，像这样的题目看似很长，但是其实只要每一段的主题论述立场明
确，申论段的发展就不会过于限缩。
当同学依循着这些主题拒往下论述时，应注意到主题句里是有“明确的态度
的”。比方说，最后一段的解释里，我有提到： Since parents have the
biggest right and the biggest duty to guide their child，they can
be said as the best teachers. 因此，我的段落里的例子就会写到：小朋
友哭闹的时候，“只有家长”在法律上才有权利管教小孩（比如，让他罚站
或禁足），也因此，家长是最好的老师。反之，老师若想当好老师让小孩记
取教训往往是较难的，因为老师们并无这个法律上的权利去管教孩子（很可
能会被告）等。因此，因为如此，家长在理论上，应该能称得上：“对于孩
子而言最好的教育者”。
再举一个题目示范一段我的审题想点方式，下面这道题目稍为困难一些：
Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. Has this change
improved the way people live? Use specific reasons and examples to
support your answer.一样，我们抓出题目的句子结构：Nowadays, food
has BECOME EASIER to prepare. 这种 FOOD BECOMING MUCH EASIER TO
PREPARE 的 CHANGE 有没有 IMPROVE 人类的生活方式？
我的立场是：有。
食物准备比较容易 —> 煮鱼时不需要自己杀鱼头很可怕 —> 某部分让我们
的心理比较舒服
食物准备比较容易 —> 开饭时可以直接用咖喱酱倒下白饭 —> 很方便快速
—> 可以将时间做更有效的利用，将时间花在更喜欢的事情上 （不需要辛
辛苦苦地顾一锅咖哩，观察萝卜到底熬烂了没有）
大家有没有发现，这一次我的想点方法，是从元件example 往回想我对此题
的立场的？原因是，大家看到这个题目时，往往脑海中会先产生一个画面，
而我正是利用了这个画面，直接去想我的画面是因为什么来的，最后再慢慢
推出我的主题句。
依循以上的步骤，再将元件分类处理，最后我的段落作文约莫会长成这样：
First of all, the fact that food has become easier to prepare has
created more convenience in the way we live. This is mainly
because we no longer have to experience the complexities in
dealing with raw ingredients ourselves. Thus, people feel more at
ease to make a family dish. This fact solely has dramatically
improved how we live our lives. For example, imagine making a fish
soup. 30 years ago, because people only bought fresh fish from
fish markets, they even had to cut off fish heads by themselves in
order to make a nice fish soup. In contrast to that generation,
today, 30 years later, we have the supermarket to do everything
for us, so all we had to do was to throw the fish into hot water.
This makes cooking so much more simple and enjoyable. Without a
doubt, since cooking takes up so much of our mental energy, this
change largely improves the quality of our lives.
记得：只要段落里的重点明确，写作永远不是困难的事情！
祝大家写作愉快，以上的分享提供给各位参考！
