8、去表达。对此办法就是要善于联想到一些具体的事实、具体的例证以及具体的现象。比如说，要谈论电视节目这一话题，可以联想到新闻联播，并由此想到它让人们开阔视野，了解世界，但有人觉得话题太熟悉了，反而一时说不出什么来。其实，作文题一般是永恒的话题，在任何时候都可以讨论;或为当代话题，让所有的人都会有话可说。题目是公平的，不会让某一专业的考生有特别的优势。所以，考生一定能联想起具体细小的事情，再形成观点。把看得见摸得着的事物带来的思考变成作文里的分支观点，具体细节内容变成证据。这不失为一种很好的策略。例如，“计算机的利与弊”这个话题似乎太大，但是可能想到的具体的现象是小孩、学生要在计算机前玩计算机游戏。
9、由此带来的思考是，这些学生整天呆在那里对他们的头脑是有害的(harmful to their minds)，并且浪费大量时间(waste a lot of time)。因此，当头脑出现空白时，应该将具体的、细小的、琐碎的、微不足道的事物所引发的思考变成观点，再进行论述。这种定式思维的形成需要多下工夫。从无话可说到有话可说，下面的例子让人不无启发：在多种场合下，经常要欢迎领导讲几句话。领导往往首先开口说：同志们(大家)好，我利用这个机会讲三句话。接着讲句话时，脑子里不知道第二句话是什么，讲第二句时，根本就没想第三句要说什么。但他终说了三句话，以“谢谢大家”结束讲话。“领导讲话1、2、3”成了一种
10、定式，他总能找到有关内容讲几点，这种功夫是长期磨炼的结果，写作文也一样，平时需要多多练习这种思维。托福写作中，这种无话可说的情况很多，大家可以按照上面介绍的技巧来进行自己的写作练习，经常练习就可以慢慢养成托福写作的时候边写边思考的习惯，在考试的时候就不会发生无话可说的情况。托福阅读真题原题+题目Of all modern instruments, the violin is apparently one of the simplest.
