“我今年48了。我和一个女人好了两年多了，我要到那个点了，可能我得摆脱她，或者表个态。我从没结过婚，我曾跟两三个女人走得挺近，实际上有一次都快要到市政厅办结婚了，但我总是退缩。我想我认为最终我会遇到一个女人，让我脑洞大开，一条明路浮现出来，然后我就知道她就是那个对的人。但它并没发生，我从没到一个点上说结婚的念头不再让我心神不定。这回我又走到这一步了，我刚和这个女人在公园里度过了美好的一天，挺愉快的。但现在我的思绪跳向未来，我担心有些事情我还没看到，我怕一旦我们相互许下诺言，就有事情显露出来，然后突然之间，我的生活变得比我独自一人时更糟。”
“I’m forty-eight now. I’ve been dating a woman for over two years. And I’m getting to the point where I probably need to cut her loose or commit. I’ve never been married. I’ve gotten close with two or three women. I actually got as close as City Hall one time. But I’ve always backed down. I guess I thought that I’d eventually meet a woman, and some sort of pathway would open up in my mind, and I’d know that she was the right one. But it hasn’t happened. I’ve never gotten to the point where the thought of marriage doesn’t freak me out. And here I am again. I just spent a wonderful day in the park with this woman. It was lovely. But now my mind jumps to the future. And I worry that there’s something I’m not seeing. I'm afraid that something will reveal itself once we’ve exchanged our vows, and suddenly my life will be worse than when I was alone.”

#托福家考[超话]#托福写作如何写好开头呢?
托福写作的开头段可以分为：背景、矛盾、立场 三个阶段展开。了解了每个句子的写作目的之后再寻找和确认它对应的写作句型就可以应对所有写作话题啦。
背景句的切入点是题目所属的分类和话题，并强调这类话题的重要性。引起后面矛盾句中对题目的讨论。比如题目问小学生是不是应该每天都写家庭作业，那么这个题目的背景应该是强调education 或者child education的重要性。那我们就可以写Child education lays the bedrock of the fundamental value of a person and poses far-reaching influences on a person’s future development/growth.这类句型的写作重点是描述“它很重要”这个概念。通过描述具体的重要性，而避开只能写it is important这种简单句。
矛盾句的写作目的是要引出话题，也就是这句话要做题目的转写，从第一句教育背景引入一个具体的话题讨论，比如When it comes to …., people’s opinions vary from person to person based on their personal values.
最后就可以提出自己的立场和观点咯。如果时间比较紧张，4min左右写不完的话，可以准备一个表达立场的句子即可。如果对题目和论点有信心，可以把两个论点总结成平行的短语放进立场句。比如 Some people are of the opinion that ……, while I hold the firm belief that …. considering …. and ….
顺祝备考顺利！
