如何提升托福作文論述力度

　　在托福寫作中，過于單一的論述不但會讓自己覺得才窮詞盡，也同時(shí)讓作文的論述沒有力度，無法體現(xiàn)想要表述的論點(diǎn)。所以在論述中，為大家推薦以下幾種寫作手法加強(qiáng)文章力度。

　　如何提升托福作文論述力度?掌握3種常用論述方法

　　比較(contrast &;comparison)

　　在托福大作文的寫作中，考生可以拿相同或相反的事物做比較，相同關(guān)系叫對照(comparison)，相反關(guān)系叫對比(contrast)。此類論證我們重點(diǎn)掌握一些對比對照關(guān)系的連詞：

　　In contrast， by contrast， on the contrary， while， whereas Likewise， similarly

　　引用(quotation)

　　比如，拿名人名言來進(jìn)行論證則更有說服力，說明某位名人的觀點(diǎn)和你的觀點(diǎn)是達(dá)成一致，形成共鳴的。但這需要考平時(shí)的積累，不能在考試時(shí)候過于生搬硬套。此外，引用名人名言就意味著引用別人的觀點(diǎn)，所以只要引兩到三句起到論證自己觀點(diǎn)的作用的話就可以了，點(diǎn)到為止，而不是中文寫作中，引用越多越好。

　　讓步(making concession)

　　讓步的論證是中國考生較陌生的一個(gè)概念，其實(shí)在學(xué)狀語從句時(shí)，我們就學(xué)過讓步的關(guān)系，先退一步承認(rèn)一個(gè)與自己觀點(diǎn)相反的事實(shí)，再轉(zhuǎn)折給出自己的觀點(diǎn)，否定前者。這種方法在中文寫作中由于應(yīng)用的比較少，所以在沒有完成掌握的情況下，不要強(qiáng)行套用。句型如下：

　　Although/ though/ in spite of the fact that …

　　As is granted/ Admittedly， …

　　Opponents would argue that …

　　從上面的總結(jié)我們就可以看出來，在托福作文中想要吸引考官的注意，我們還是有很多辦法的。一些復(fù)雜句的運(yùn)用必須在平時(shí)的練習(xí)中，就熟悉使用。

　　托福寫作素材：辯論是否支持藝術(shù)家事業(yè)

　　托福寫作題目：

　　The government should support artists or should artists support themselves.

　　Introduction:

　　First of all, financial support to artists would enable current artists to contribute more to our society.

　　主題句：

　　擴(kuò)展支持藝術(shù)利一：有利于藝術(shù)繁榮。

　　It is not uncommon in history that great artists were barricaded by financial problems or even gave up their callings eventually due to their pennilessness like Van Gogh and great Chinese painter Baishi Qi. Since artistic creation is a tedious and long-term process without tangible rewards, most artists might find it hard to afford their own living.

　　背景信息：

　　為什么作者會提出此分論點(diǎn)?歷史上很多偉大的藝術(shù)家都因窮困放棄藝術(shù)。

　　If governments, at this point, assumed the responsibility to support artists, these talented and creative people would no doubt accomplish more truly innovative artistic works. After all, in order to devote their heart and soul to the pursuit of their real interest, people should first have the ability to support their basic necessities of life.

　　解釋主題句：

　　托福寫作中引入段落最重要的環(huán)節(jié)—解釋主題句：政府若能資助藝術(shù)家，他們就能創(chuàng)造出更多偉大的藝術(shù)作品。畢竟，溫飽是追求理想的前提。

　　The United States movie industry is a great case in point. Due to the effective financial support given by the U.S. government, movie industry in this country is booming. Based on the subsidy offered by governments, filmmakers here are free and bold to explore every possibility. They can just let their wild imagination surge and their creative ideas spark. So, there is no wonder that people around the globe are willing to go to movie to appreciate the great and inspired films made by these innovative movie directors.

　　托福寫作舉例論證法：

　　作者用美國政府對于電影業(yè)的支持細(xì)化前方邏輯鏈：What kinds of specific support do governments give to artist?à How flourishing is art?

　　Body paragraph 2

　　Combining the two advantages mentioned in the passage above, supporting art can not only encourage artists to be more committed to their cause, but also benefit the nation as a whole. Thus, it is wise for governments to support art development.
