快寫要點
如何在30分鐘內快速、整潔寫完文章。 快速： 熟悉考場寫作三個步驟的時間分配：

第一步：審題、確定立場、列出理由（只需要在草稿紙上用英文單詞或漢語列出各個理由，防止遺忘）最少3分鐘最多5分鐘：
要避免兩個極端： 用時太少，理由沒有想清楚就開始寫作，不僅造成文章邏輯結構不清，還會引起行文中頻繁的修正，欲速則不達； 用時太多，不要追求一次思考就能把每一條理由及相關例證都想出來。其實想出兩條之后就可以動筆，各個理由的例證可以寫到該段時邊思考邊寫。這一點你不必懷疑，只要你的思維還是正常的，一定能做到。

第二步：正文寫作最少22分鐘最多26分鐘：
a. 各段寫作時注意對段落的不同部分給予不同的重視：主題句給予最大重視，注意煉句，別說你不想寫主題句，主題句可以使讀者和筆者本人更清晰該段落寫什么。各段中支持性細節寫作不必遵循相同的模式：
有n種選擇可供參考：1. 舉具體事例 2. 說對方相對缺點3. 使用數據 4. 使用假想例子5. 使用類比、比喻、引用等修辭手段來論述。 哪一種你最容易想出來，就用哪一種。
b.考前將文章開頭、結尾、例證、讓步等各種句套背熟練,并且練習和�？紩r把他們用熟，要象做完型填空一樣對待考場作文。別試圖在考場上再現去決定比如哪種開頭好，怎樣結尾好。使用自己選種的套話。
c.當被告知還有5分鐘結束時，一般你已經該寫到最后一條理由，或者已經在做結尾。要確保文章有結尾段。（不排除將他和最后一條理由的末段結合在一起的可能性）

第三步：檢查
需要1-3分鐘
有側重點地檢查：
1、句法：確保每句話是完整的，有謂語，且簡單句只有一個謂語。
2、時態：文章絕大部分使用的是一般現在時；一般現在時第三人稱要使用單數；使用過去發生的事例時用的是過去時；
3、主謂一致
按此三步，持續練習5篇以上，可以確保時間問題。
整潔：
A、TWE要求必須用鉛筆寫作文，你要自己準備好鉛筆和橡皮。橡皮要有韌性，太硬會擦破紙，有錯誤要擦干凈再改；
B、第一遍寫作時要求字跡不要太大也不要太小，通常一行寫10-12個左右單詞為宜。如果書法不好，可以在考前練習寫一下斜體的26個字母的寫法。（別笑，此法被人屢試屢爽）
一篇外籍專家對TWE文章的評改報告
The following TOEFL essay was written by a non-native English speaker. Note the way the essay was analyzed for content, organization and grammar.
TOEFL Essay Question-------------題目
Supporters of technology say that it solves problems and makes life better. Opponents argue that technology creates new problems that may threaten or damage the quality of life. Using one or two examples, discuss these two positions. Which view of technology do you support? Why?
Student’s unedited answer------學生例文

Technology is improved especially in developed countries. Our lives is connected to technology. Technology is used in everyday life. People use it in different ways. It can make our lives better, but it can be cruel if it’s used for bad purposes.

First, technology makes our lives better because it serves us well and helps us save time. As we can see one of well-known inventions is internet. For example, in the developed countries, Internet are used in everyday life. It’ s used in schools and businesses because it provides a lot of information about anything all over the world.

On the other hand, technology can be very dangerous for us. Because of its ability of finding information, our personal information can no longer be sec ret. For instance, computer is used to keep most of the information. In other cases, hackers can search to our secret file and steal the information via computer. Another example is that some companies can search and find information about us just by our credit card receipts or checks. That could make our lives worse than before.

In short, technology gives us many advantages.

Analysis of student’s answer

Content

A. Understanding the question

You must discuss both sides of the issue and then tell which side you support. In your answer, you did discuss both sides, but you did not tell which view of technology you supported.

B. Restating the question

Your first paragraph is a good attempt to restate the question but it does not include all the information from the original question. Here is an example of a restatement of the question:

Some people feel that technology enhances our lives and others feel technology is damaging to our lives. We are connected to technology. Computers, television, and cars are all the result of technology. It can make our lives better, however, it can be bad if it’s used for negative purposes.

C. Body paragraphs and final paragraph

Be sure each paragraph in the body of your essay begins with a main idea (or topic sentence) and is followed by support and examples. The last sentence of each paragraph should be a concluding sentence. You have good ideas, but you should include more examples in the body of the essay.

In body paragraph #1, provide more information about how technology helps us save time and add a concluding sentence. Here is an example of what you could include:

For example, students can use the internet to research information for term papers. They can also access information about colleges and universities, book reviews, news and weather, famous people...the list is endless. Businesses also benefit from the internet. They can reach a global audience with their products and services. In addition, they can go online and examine their competitors’ products, services and prices. The benefits of technology are numerous.

Body paragraph #2 needs a clearer concluding sentence. For example: Using technology for this type of negative purpose causes us lots of problem s and makes our lives difficult. Your final paragraph should summarize your main ideas and include your view of technology. You have not done that. Here is an example of a possible final paragraph:

In short, there are both positive and negative aspects to technology. I support the continued development of technology because the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. I feel that technology is needed to help us move forward. Without it, our lives will remain stagnant.

Organization
Good overall essay organization. Good use of transitions such as first, on the other hand, in short. Organization within paragraphs is good. You begin with the main idea and then give support. Remember to include a concluding sentence for each paragraph.

Grammar

Your grammar is not bad. You should focus on improving your subject-verb agreement and word choice. Below are examples of these two grammatical problems taken from your essay.

Subject-Verb Agreement

Paragraph 1: our lives is (should be) our lives are

Paragraph 2: internet are used (should be) internet is used

Paragraph 3: computer is used (should be) computers are used Word Choice

Paragraph 1: cruel (better choice:) bad

Paragraph 1: bad (better choice:) negative

Paragraph 3: ability of finding (better choice:) capable of finding

Understanding your TOEFL score

The TOEFL test is the Test of English as a Foreign Language. This test is required for entrance to universities and colleges in the United States. The computer based test (CBT) is composed of four sections: listening, reading, structure (grammar) and essay writing.
