【你今天头脑风暴了吗】--- 作文概念训练

桐庐钓徒UID: 2620263

嗨嗨嗨~大家晚上好~:lol
相信不少童鞋在初涉托福作文的时候都会有这样的感受：其实我的英文文笔挺好的/我的英文基本功挺扎实的，可是为什么每次碰到托福的独立写作就总也想不出新颖的具有说服力的观点和事例呢？:mad:
俗话说的好：熟能生巧。我们的思维也是如此，需要充分的锻炼才能让它在必要时能高速有效地运转起来。
不罗嗦，现在隆重介绍头脑风暴训练法（噔~噔~噔~噔~~~）：
Brainstorm，童鞋们肯定不会觉得陌生啦，简单的说，就是在大脑中充分进行想像和联想。如果把它运用到托福作文训练上来呢，就是对某个topic进行大胆想象，挖掘出一切可能的分论点和事例，然后进行选择再组织成文。相信通过这样的思维训练，我们肯定能轻松跨过托福作文这道坎，在考场上更加自信与从容。


具体训练流程如下：

1.楼主发布一道独立写作题（须符合托福考试要求，可以出自机经或者topic185)
2.从坐沙发的同学开始，根据楼上的题目，通过头脑风暴陈述（尽最大努力）自己能想出来的全部观点，然后再另外出一道不同于楼上的题给楼下的同学进行训练。这样one by one就形成了头脑风暴链条。

当然在时间上还是有所限制的，目的在于锻炼大家快速思考。（挖坑不填的童鞋慎入 有灌水嗜好的同学慎入）

注：这个活动创意来源于本版版主 奔跑蜗牛 感谢版大兢兢业业地工作，为大家想出这么好的点子！（撒花~~~）

现在就由我来抛砖引玉啦~~~

题目是：

In general, people are living longer now. Discuss the causes of this phenomenon. Use specific reasons and details to develop your essay(from tw185).

快来陈述你独特的观点吧，中英文均可！

(TW65) Should a city try to preserve its old, historic buildings or destroy them and repalce them with modern buildings? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

thatllUID: 2538832

首先我想问的是这样的题目可以折中的么？就是我们既要保护一些古建筑，也要兴建一些现代大厦。

reasons of preserving old, historic buildings:
1, historic buildings of a city are symbols of the process of  development of the city, and hence they can record some important events happened in the long history of the city. they then can be used as didactic materials to young generations. take the Great Wall for example.
2, historic buildings usually are gracious and carry with beauty so that they can be served as aesthetic materials and edify people. for example, Gardens of Suzhou
3, historic buildings also can be used for morden function, if we reconstruct them properly.

如果每年上课11个月以上，学生会得到更有效的教育

honey67UID: 2645316

I don't quite agree with the conclusion above.
1.  Effective education is not only depended on how long the students take the courses ,but most importantly on how they manage it or digest it.
2.  Rest is the basis of activities. From the brain function of human beings, our brains do need to rest or relax for sometime if we really want to achieve more  .
3.  Plus , students could experience more during the vocations ,and learn more than those only from the text books.
