提示一：列提纲

列提纲对于任何一种写作任务都是一个好办法，对于托福任务2尤为重要。

与综合论文不同，task2必须全部是你自己构思写作。只有30分钟可写下你的答案，因此首先要制定一个计划！

你可以从托福写作第二个任务中想到以下的问题：

阅读了论文题后，首先要确定你作文的主旨。这通常需要你根据问题选择一个立场，例如：

1、你是否同意该主题？

2、你对该主题有何看法？

3、你会选择a），b）还是c）中的哪一个？

4、优点和缺点是什么？

接下来，在大纲中用一个例子来说明两个支持你观点的理由。

提示二：观点明确

”分组学习还是自己学习更好？“

当然，有时候你更愿意一个人工作，而有时候，最好与一个团队合作。

千万不要一句写赞成这个观点，另一句写反对这个观点！将你自己的个人感受放在一边，一定要采取一种明确清楚的立场。

你在task2的主要任务是说服读者同意你的观点。当你从单一角度进行辨析时，这样做更容易显得观点明确，逻辑清晰。

因此，请选择你最同意的观点或者立场作为你的主旨，然后围绕这个论点展开。

提示三：结尾句紧扣主旨

确保在每个正文段落的末尾始终包含一个结论句，该句将回到你的核心论点。换句话说，每个正文段落的最后一句应始终与你的主要论点联系，从而直接解决问题。

以下是task2的正文部分的一般结构：

1、一句话为你的核心观点提供理由；

2、一到三句话进一步解释你的理由；

3、三到五句话描述支持你理由的例子；

4、一句话进行总结，可以把你的例子和核心观点联系起来。

问题是”Your friend wants to lose weight. What advice would you give your friend and why?"

以下是一个范文：

There are so many diet plants out there that people use in order to try to lose weight. Some say to cut carbohydrates, while others say to cut sugar in order to shed pounds. If my friend asked me how to lose weight, I would suggest the following two things:a balanced diet and exercise.

Tirst, a well-balanced diet has been proven to help lose weight throughout history. Following a nutritional meal plan with lots  of fruits and vegetables, as well as drinking lots of water, is best. Most importantly, cutting out heavily processed foods and fast foods is an absolute must for weight loss. I have witnessed this personally in my own life. My mother always used to struggle with losing weight. She tried so many different kinds of diets throughout her life. They were always focused on denying her one of the food groups, such as breads and grains, but  never specially sddressed over-processed food consumption. Finally, she went to a nutritionist who advised her to just eat natural and organic food in the proper proportions. My mom lost thirty punds in eight weeks afer that.

Therefore, I would first advise my friend that the best way to lose weight is to have a healthy, balanced diet.
