新托福獨立寫作技巧：“自問自答”的邏輯展開法

很多考生認(rèn)為獨立寫作不容易寫，主要原因是因為沒有想法或語言不好表達。其實，思路和表達是由邏輯決定的。而所有文章的邏輯都可以通過一種“自問自答”的方式展開。這樣，你的思路如同行云流水一般流暢，而你的語言也會隨著思路從容地表達出來。

下面以2011年05月13日北美新托福獨立寫作真題為例，題目為：
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
It is better for parents to encourage their children to take a part-time job.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

題目：父母該不該鼓勵孩子做兼職工作？
破題思路：
1）問：不做兼職會怎樣？答：有可能無所事事而招惹麻煩，受到周圍人的影響沾染上壞習(xí)性。
2）問：做兼職會怎樣？答：學(xué)會管理時間、培養(yǎng)責(zé)任心、珍惜閑暇時光和辛苦賺到的錢（全文中心論點）。

因此，開頭可以這樣展開。
第一句，不做兼職可能會怎樣：
Children with too much free time are more likely to get themselves in trouble because teenagers tend to develop bad behavior from the influence of their friends and peers.

第二句，還是做兼職好（引出中心論點）：
I think that a parent should encourage his or her children to do a part-time job to instill in them the value of time management, a sense of personal responsibility, and also to help them to learn the value of money.

中間段落的邏輯展開也可以如法炮制，如Paragraph 1：
問：做兼職有何好處？答：學(xué)會管理時間（本段論點）。
While a part-time job sometimes conflicts with studies, this experience can help young people acquire important time management skills that will help them succeed in college.
問：具體而言，管理時間有何意義？答：拖延時間會拉低學(xué)習(xí)成績（舉例論證）。
If students begin learning to manage a tight schedule in high school, they will soon understand that procrastination can be detrimental to their grade point average.
得出結(jié)論，點題：

A part-time job makes them block off more time each day for work, school and homework.
反問：如果不做兼職可能會怎樣？答：時間觀念差（再次強調(diào)論點）。

Without a part-time job, their schedules are more likely to be unstructured.
后面的段落與之相仿，也是通過自問自答將行文邏輯展開，層層遞進、環(huán)環(huán)相扣。這樣的文章思路清晰、邏輯嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)、可操作性強，便于模仿和記憶（本題范文請參考《常遠(yuǎn)新托福寫作真經(jīng)》第205頁）。
