貓頭鷹寫作實驗室考古提分Tips
》舊托福考古題185個，其中約三分之一是屬于比較題型。新托福的比例接近百分之百。貓頭鷹細讀百次，全面歸納整理，一題不漏，只為分享烤鴨偷懶的愉快。
題庫185，索然無味，誰看了都是不知然也不知其所以然，所以始終無法專注，而卻往往半途停止，結果常常自己生自己的氣。夜貓子從考古題里挖出同類的比較題型擺在一堆，一目了然，因為答題的方式完全一樣。考前不妨利用15分鐘，一口氣搞清楚以下66道老托福考古題的字里行間，心中默默作答A或B。光是看完66題姐妹題，心里就已經踏實多了，這也算是進步。接著占時摔下一切不管，回頭等待貓頭鷹發布相應的【隱形模板】系列，配合范文300篇，再運籌帷幄而胸有成竹。
有心人傾向內容分類（教育，環保，媒體，兒童，廣告，ETC），但貓頭鷹不喜歡。夜貓子認為按照答題方式來分類才真正有助于應付寫作測驗。也因此 鑄造【隱形模板】，藉以減輕烤鴨的精神壓力而又增加睡眠與胡鬧的時間。
》以下66題（附TWE題庫編號），全數經過修改，但原意不變，僅充作選擇題（A或B, 或A中有B，或B中有A，等于腳踏兩條船—都是好答案）。有選擇則有答題立場，有立場就有主題，有主題就找焦點，有焦點就不會跑題。【起承轉合】—議論文就是這個玩意兒。
[1]-004. 何來經驗？
It has been said that not everything that is learned is contained in books. Compare and contrast. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
A—knowledge gained from experience with
B—knowledge gained from books.
In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?
#答題舉例（A possible approach>Introduction： 3 sentences）
問題：請比較來自書本的知識與來自經驗的知識—何者重要？
牛人》貓頭鷹提供一個可能：A. 來自經驗的知識較為重要。(2 Reasons)
1. People never learn anything by reading books; they have to find out the real thing for themselves.
2. Experience is the best teacher, although books can increase the reader's knowledge to make a better judgement.
3. However, such examples as driving and swimming may serve to illustrate why no knowledge gained from books becomes "real" until it is experienced.
菜鳥》鸚鵡廢話提分：A。從經驗得來的知識更為重要。（兩個理由）
廢話 1. It is one thing to gain knowledge from books while it is quite another to gain knowledge from experience.
（前者）是一回事；（后者）是另外一回事。
廢話 2. Specifically, the latter makes more sense than does the former.
確實說來，（后者）比起（前者）較為有道理。
兩點 3. Driving and swimming are two typical examples to support this viewpoint.
就拿典型的兩個例子A和B來支持這個觀點。
