教學過程中經常有學生問我要“托福提分詞匯”。我覺得可以背誦后再寫作，效果更好。話題來自2013年11月托福預測：　　題目：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents should give school-age children money as a reward for getting high score in exams.
　　相關提分詞匯和句子：
　　1. Reward

　　3)External rewards are helpful in encouraging students to come to school, do their homework, and focus on classroom activities.外在的獎勵在鼓勵學生上學，做家庭作業和參與課堂活動方面很有幫助。
　　4)In stead of providing a specific reward that some students may not be motivated by or enjoy, money can be used to purchase many things. To some people, more money may equate to a new car. To others, it may represent a vacation.不像別的一些獎勵，學生可能不會被激發或者喜歡，錢能夠用來買很多東西。對有些人來說，更多的錢就是一輛新車，對另外一些人來說，錢可以用來去度假。
