實例解析托福寫作思路
同學(xué)們的答案豐富多彩，有選擇孔子的，有選擇秦始皇的，還有選擇武則天、楊貴妃、西施、貂蟬的。其實，這道題我們選擇誰都可以，只要符合一個前提：這個人我們熟悉。因為，只有熟悉這個人，我們才能夠做到有話可說。好，我們就以孔子為例。于是，我們就寫出以下一段文字。
Confucius was a Chinese thinker and social philosopher， whose teachings and philosophy have deeply influenced Chinese， Korean， Japanese， Taiwanese and Vietnamese thought and life. His philosophy emphasized personal and governmental morality， correctness of social relationships， justice and sincerity. These values gained prominence in China over other doctrines， such as Legalism or Taoism during the Han Dynasty. Confucius' thoughts have been developed into a system of philosophy known as Confucianism. It was introduced to Europe by the Jesuit Matteo Ricci， who was the first to Latinise the name as "Confucius." His teachings may be found in the Analects of Confucius， a collection of "brief aphoristic fragments"， which was compiled many years after his death. Modern historians do not believe that any specific documents can be said to have been written by Confucius， but for nearly 2，000 years he was thought to be the editor or author of all the Five Classics such as the Classic of Rites， and the Spring and Autumn Annals。
有了這段文字之后，我們就可以去聯(lián)系其他的托福作文題目了。看一看，這個例子能不能用到別的作文題目中去，從而減少我們的寫作備考壓力，做到“一例多用”。
