托福学术写作无难事：掌握语料积累技巧

不要迷信“托福材料”，备考托福写作学术讨论题如何积累语料？你还在大量收集托福所谓的“高分表达”和“高分句型”么？如果大家手上的材料是一大堆未经筛选的粗料，那么我估计你看都看不完，别说拿它们来备考了。

托福学术讨论题要求的篇幅是100单词以上，实战中写到150-160也就是极限了，再长的话都没时间检查了，因此，如果你看的材料大部分都是动辄大几百甚至上千词的外刊文章，那么不仅有效信息会非常少，而且language efficiency也和咱们要写的100多个单词截然不同，学术讨论题由于篇幅有限，大家多看那种用几十单词（三四句话）的篇幅说清楚一个论点的文章会比较有帮助，看其他材料的话，用的时候还得总结、缩写。

最适合大家积累写作语料的材料，其实就是高质量的范文！不孤例地讲语法，也不脱离语境来整理词汇和句型，而是直接通过高质量、易模仿的范文 (just about everything you need to know) 来帮助大家建立正确的写作审美，并最终提高写作能力。

今天我们就拿一篇范文来跟家说说该如何在范文中提取实用的语料。

题干里能收集到的表达方式有：

Gasoline-powered (petrol-powered) cars 汽油车
Contribute to climate change 造成气候变化
Reduce carbon dioxide emissions 减少碳排放
Expand public transportation 扩大公交覆盖面
Give tax breaks (to companies) 给（公司）减税
Give rebates (to individuals) 给（个人）回扣
To get around 通勤
A far-off city 一个离得较远的城市

那么从范文里我们又能学到什么呢？

I also believe that providing financial support for the making as well as the purchase of electric cars would be a much better choice than developing public transportation. Paul is right about a lot of people needing their own cars in rural areas or remote places where there are only very few bus or subway routes. These people could not commute conveniently if they relied on public transportation only. Even though Claire says it could be easier and faster to commute using public transport, that is not the case in reality. Since public transportation is usually much cheaper, many people use them every day and you can't even get a seat during rush hours. How come it is more convenient?

可以收集到的句型：
- Someone is right about something 某人在这件事上是对的
Paul is right about a lot of people needing their own cars in rural areas or remote places where there are only very few bus or subway routes.
例句中的need一定要是ing形式，才能形成后置定语，用来修饰people，这个跟在介词about后面的名词。
- That is not the case in reality 那并非事实

可以收集到的单词或词组：
- Commute 通勤，是对题干中词组get around的同义改写
- Bus/subway routes 公交/地铁线路
- Get a seat 找到个座位
- During rush hours 在高峰期时
- How come 为什么
