微課堂｜託福獨立寫作段落拓展-例證法
「古語有言：“工欲善其事，必先利其器。”獨立寫作作為一種主觀題型，瞭解ETS考官的小心思是備考的重要組成。換句話來説，獨立寫作評分標準就是指導寫作的風向標。滿分評分細則：usingclearly appropriate explanations, exemplification and/or details.由此可見，文章的詳細論證，例證法是一個不二選擇。所以，在介紹完“因果推理法”之後今天和大家分享的就是 ——“例證法”。」
|何為例證法
例證法是託福獨立寫作主體段論述的重要手段之一。文中的例子可以是一個詞、一個句子或者幾個句子組成的意羣。比如：
詞例：Auniversity like Harvard is a prestigious one.
句例：Forexample, the failure of the Qing Dynasty of China proves that isolation fromthe outside world would be detrimental.
意羣：Forinstance, Lionel Messi, my favorite football player, no one could believe thathe was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency. However, his persistence andintense love for football kept him going on without hesitation and nothingcould stop him from becoming an excellent player. Ultimately, the sportingdirector of Barcelona had been made aware of his talent and led him to asuperiorly shining life. Now he has received FIFA World Player of the Yearnomination in 2009 at the age of 21. This incident gives me a full understandingof the fact that how unbelievable results sports may bring to people.
|例證法的好處
我們都知道，純粹的論述有時候讀起來比較呆板，而且文章細節的展開對邏輯和相關詞彙量的要求比較高。於是，相對感性的“例證法”就可以在此大放異彩。通常，在託福獨立寫作中所使用到的例證以意羣為單位的居多。並且這些例證主要分為兩種類型，一種是通例，一種是特例。特例主要來源於真實和具有重大歷史影響力的`案例，比如：
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Society benefits more from great artists thanfrom those of political specific reasons and examples tosupport your answer.
First,political leaders play a decisive role in the development of economy. Morespecifically, national economy is closely relatedto policies formulated by political leaders. For instance, FranklinD Roosevelt, a dominant political leader, led the United States during a toughtime of worldwide economic depression and war. His program for relief, recoveryand reform, known asthe New Deal,ushered American in an era ofrelatively low unemployment rate and stable society, which was a catalyst for arapid development of industrial economy.
此外，同學們也可以採用相對比較容易的通例。這一類例子主要以個人背景知識和生活經驗為來源，用起來也比較得心應手。
比如：Doyou agree or disagree with the following statement? It is better to spend money ontraveling and vacation than to save money for the specific reasons and examples tosupport your answer.
Inaddition, the income for some people is so slender that they cannot afford themoney for traveling. Those who do not have high income even worried about theconsumption of house rent, food and clothing, so actually they havenot extramoney to cle is a case in , who works in a factory, only hasa salary of 600RMB per month, and he does not have much money left after payingthe above-mentioned expenses of the family. Never has he spent money ontraveling or vacation because of the lack of money.
綜上，託福作文的例子最好有多樣性、具體性和趣味性。同一篇文章中儘量運用不同類型的例子論證文章的主題，尤其是美國主流文化中涉及的人物和事件。素材收集同學們可以多讀一些英語原文，比如《經濟學人》(The Economics)等。
此外，自身經很多也可以成為例子，但是要注意寫得具體可信，即符合例子“具體化”的要求。
