小编了解到在托福考试中，很多同学在备考独立写作时，最重要的例证总是写不好！要知道，独立写作重在论证清晰、简明并具有说服力。主要考验的就是举例去论证观点，那么例子是否具有说服力就显得非常重要，如果在论证某个观点时无法给出具有说服力的例子，那么你的观点就站不住脚！

      问题来了，独立写作素材如何积累？如果写作只追求20分左右，就不需要收集很多素材；但是如果想冲刺20分+甚至满分，那积累素材的意义就很突出了。

      下面举例几道独立写作的真题看看，让同学们更直观的感受一下到底什么样的素材才是好的素材。

      The consumption of foods and drinks high in salt and sugar cause harm to people's future health. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Government should tax on these foods to reduce their sales.

      政府想要对垃圾食品多收税，来减少人们的消费，但一些消费者不同意多出钱,你是否同意？

这道题，我们有两个方向可以选择：选择同意，就需要分析一下多收税会带来的好处，可以从政府、人民、食品、健康等角度来进行分析；选择不同意，也可以从这几个角度来分析有哪些弊端。

（1）选择同意，可以举例以下素材：

 1.很多人处于亚健康状态

      It is commonly observed that many people go to the hospital for an IV drip either to cure diseases or energize their body. Thus, if government successfully aroused citizens' awareness of keeping fit, there would not be a large number of sub healthy people.

我们经常发现很多人去医院打点滴,要么去治疗疾病,要么去补充能量。因此,如果政府成功地唤起公民的健康意识,那么也不会有这么多的亚健康人群。

 2.很多人饮食不健康的表现

      According to a survey, three out of ten people in our country are overweight, which reflects a fact that government fails to educate people to keep a healthy eating habit.

根据调查,我国30%的人口超重,这反映了一个事实,即政府没有很好地教育民众保持健康的饮食习惯。

（2）选择不同意，可以举例以下素材：

       提高收费招致社会反弹

      I have read a piece of news that a few years ago, the ruling party of England increased the electricity fees, hoping to alleviate the power shortage, but this conduct yielded nothing but a strong backlash.

      我最近读到了一则报道,说几年前,英国的执政党为了缓解用电紧张而增加电费,但是此举没有取得预期效果,反而招来强烈的反弹。

（1）选择同意，可以举例以下素材：

 1.环保意识的提高对环保的作用

      International conferences on environmental issues are held frequently across the world like United Nation Climate Change Conference and many important protocols are signed such as Kyoto Protocol, which is a reflection of modern human beings determination in protecting the environment.

（2）选择不同意，可以举例以下素材：

1.科技发展改善环境

      For example, in the past, with the flourish of automobile industry, the emission of vehicles caused severe air pollution inside a city, but nowadays, things have totally changed: the popularity of electricity-driven cars makes the city cleaner.

 2.提高收费招致社会反弹（范例的积累不在多，而在于一例多用）

      I have read a piece of news that a few years ago, the ruling party of England increased the electricity fees, hoping to alleviate the power shortage, but this conduct yielded nothing but a strong backlash.

      大家意识到积累素材的重要性了吗？在平时的复习过程中，有意去积累高质量素材，在考场上就会发挥作用。
