托福閱讀段中經(jīng)常遇到的信號(hào)詞
顯示順序的信號(hào)詞：
Internet speeds communication between companies, among co-workers through video-conferences, and among other individuals. First, media companies use the Internet for online news, or to broadcast audio and video, including live radio and television programs, while individuals use the Internet for communication, entertainment, finding information, buying and selling goods and services. Second,the notion of distance disappears thanks to the Internet. People also enjoy instant messaging to exchange text messages or pictures in real time, with real-time video and sound. Finally, scientists and scholars use the Internet to perform research, distribute lecture notes or course materials to students, they communicate with colleagues, and can also publish papers and articles.
抓住了這樣的信號(hào)詞就把握住了作者敘述的順序，也就分清了相對(duì)獨(dú)立的論據(jù)。這樣的信號(hào)詞包括：
first, second, third, and so on, then, after, before, next, last, afterward, finally

如何更好的準(zhǔn)備備考托福寫(xiě)作
缺乏寫(xiě)作思路，不知如何下手
這種情況經(jīng)常會(huì)出現(xiàn)，尤其是那些平時(shí)感覺(jué)英語(yǔ)水平很好，但是一談到寫(xiě)作，常常就會(huì)沒(méi)有思路，不知如何下手，針對(duì)這種情況，我們對(duì)思路擴(kuò)展提出兩種方法，能*有效幫助學(xué)生解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題。
(一)歸類(lèi)法：
在平時(shí)閱讀時(shí)，需要時(shí)刻注意按照文章的體裁進(jìn)行歸類(lèi)，如詩(shī)歌、散文、小說(shuō)、戲劇、或記敘文、說(shuō)明文、議論文。在閱讀時(shí)，將內(nèi)容相近，體裁相同或體裁不相同的文章進(jìn)行比較，通過(guò)比較領(lǐng)悟文章的美妙之處，學(xué)習(xí)作者獨(dú)特的寫(xiě)作思路和觀點(diǎn)的闡述方法，句法結(jié)構(gòu)的特點(diǎn)等等。
(二)總括法：
就是要求考生對(duì)各個(gè)題材文章的總體架構(gòu)和寫(xiě)作思路有一個(gè)宏觀的把握。譬如：議論文是對(duì)某個(gè)議論對(duì)象，提出見(jiàn)解或主張并說(shuō)明理由，使讀者信服的文章。它的基本特點(diǎn)是議論的說(shuō)服性而議論文的組成要素分為：論題，論點(diǎn)(中心論點(diǎn)，分論點(diǎn))，論據(jù)，論證。了解的這些你就可以按照文章大體框架去展開(kāi)你的思路了。
