如何拓展托福寫作思路
托福考試中獨立寫作的字數要求較高，需要達到不少于300字。對于不太習慣英文寫作的中國學生來說，沒有思路是托福寫作中經常遇到的問題，主要表現在以下三個方面：
1. 寫不夠字數，尤其是對初高中學生來說。
2. 車轱轆話來回說，比如：Listening to music can reduce psychological pressure. Listening to music can relax people’s brains. Music has advantages not only to the psychological health but also to physical health. It is found that slow music could slow the heartbeat as well as the breathing rate and bring down blood pressure.
3. 東一句，西一句，前言不搭后語，邏輯性差。
那么如何解決這些問題呢？
1. 掌握一些擴充思路的方法。比如文章的里有段可以增加一些例子，原因，假設，對比，排比，諺語等。
2. 多讀多背一些范文。寫作是一個輸出的過程，然后沒有輸入就沒有輸出。在掌握一些方法的基礎之上，多讀多背是擴充托福寫作思路的關鍵。俗話說“熟讀唐詩三百首，不會作詩也會吟。”讀的越多，背的越多，就越能有更多的儲備獲得高分的作文。
3. 分類記憶，觸類旁通。
托福作文題目千千萬萬，但可以歸類為建設類，生活健康類，人品朋友類，科技類，影視類，文化節日類，城鄉環保類，資源分配類，學校教育類，工作成功類，生活類及其它類。有的同類題目是有相似的思路和理由的。如下列三個題目：
（1） It has recently been announced that a new movie theater may be built in your neighborhood. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
（2） Imagine that you have received some land to use as you wish. How would you use this land? Use specific details to explain your answer.
（3） What change would make your hometown more appealing to people your age? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
這樣，分類記憶、觸類旁通、以一當十，就能夠顧大幅拓展托福寫作思路。
