近期有很多人在关注托福写作模板是否还能用，用了是否会被查重，或者影响成绩。其实，至少从目前来看，大家不用太担心，并没有出现只要用模板就判低分的情况。之所以有的学生用了，但是分数不高，往往是因为模板质量差、没背熟、根本不会用等等原因。至少目前我认为评分的时候看的更多的是文章是否切题、展开是否有逻辑、以及语言是否准确。至于具体的语言是哪里来的，可能阅卷的时候并不在乎。但是如果其他的老师或者学生有证据证明不是这样的，欢迎评论或者私信。
　　但是我必须提醒大家，使用之前一定要判断一下自己是否适合使用某个模板，毕竟一旦跟题目结合不好还是有风险的。所以只知道死记硬背而不太擅长灵活使用的同学不要随便背模板，尤其是那些自己对于题目有比较固执的想法的同学。因为一旦思想上不接受某个思路，硬去结合的话只会导致跑题，到头来还不如用自己的话随便写，可能随便写错误比较多也能拿个16分左右。结果套跑题了、错误也不少的话估计只能拿13分。
　　总之，我们既不要对模板盲目乐观，觉得只要用了，瞎用也能拿高分；也不要过度悲观，觉得用了就完了。用的好处就是写的时候省时间，但是构思的时候该花的时间一点儿都不能少。体力已经省了，脑力就不要想再省了，否则有点贪心了。
　　下面这篇文章是之前发过的老师考场实战文章，得分28分。模版总共475个词，加上填充部分后全文占词586。填写的内容以用词质朴为原则，并没有使用高大上的表达。对于语言基础一般、备考时间短、而又有冒险的机会和勇气的同学来说，不妨一试。
　　Some people think that older children should be required to take care of the younger children. Others think that this should be done by parents or other adults. Which do you prefer?
　　首段
　　In most cases, some people think that it is parents’ responsibility to take care of the whole family(1) out of various reasons and factors in situations, while others do not think so, which sound reasonable but ironical based on the fickle situations in society and history. As for me, despite the adventure of being entitled as “absolutist”, I will consistently support that older children should share the burden and be required to take care of their younger siblings(2).
　　填充内容：
　　(1) 转述题目，或反对的观点
　　这道题是个选择类的题目，问及：究竟是完全由父母来担起照顾家庭的责任，还是应该要求年长一点的孩子来照顾弟弟妹妹。这边填充的部分就只需要选择一个与自己立场相反的观点来写即可。譬如说，我的立场是：长兄长姐应该照顾弟弟妹妹，那么空格(1)只需要填充对立的观点：父母来承担全部责任。
　　(2) 自己的立场态度
　　第二段
　　Maybe a lot of people stress the suspect of the authenticity of my point of view, but what I want to demonstrate is, this idea has been certified by our predecessor hundreds of years ago. Abraham Lincoln, for instance, is known as a great man respected by all of the American people, not merely because of his remarkable feat of leading the Union in Civil War and of emancipating the slaves in the South but because of the records and the anecdotes popular in politicians and socialists, telling the story of his family, education background and policies he made to seek his dream. And the reason why he can achieve such a howling success is closely related to the opinion I am holding now. However, despite the seeming irrelevance of the example, try to imagine, if this idea is not accepted doubtlessly, that means Lincoln refused to take the responsibility to take care of his little brothers (3). Consecutively, Lincoln would, in no ways become the man in our memory with integrity and love, as a result of which, he would never be supported by his senators and his people, let alone the fact that he can lead all the northern people to win such a historical battle.

　　(3) 结合例子引入反对的观点
　　注意，这边不是直白地表达自己反对的观点！而是，结合的例子，假设他拒绝照顾弟弟妹妹，拒绝分担家庭责任，那么他也不会成为我们记忆中那个正直有爱的伟人了，那么他也无法获得人们的支持和信赖，更不用说之后在美国自由史上书下光辉的一笔了。这样写，在保证例子完整性的同时，又突出了观点。
　　第三段
　　Admittedly there are still some people who probably think that the time and space makes Lincoln a rare example, which cannot be cited as a ground support to the idea mentioned above. In our daily life, another example, the experience of my friend Jane can help to substantiate what I have held. Jane is a single mother in our lab who always wants to get success in her field. However, the efforts she has made never yield any return. The factor leading to this is that she wants to fully control both her work and children while her elder son has repeatedly expressed his willing to share the burden and look after his little brother(3). Although we cannot attribute the unpromising end to the assumption she takes granted, it is a fact that she never thought about other alternative options and just go straight in her own way. So the influence originated, developed and stimulated by the insane hypothesis should be considered a critical element.
　　填充内容：
　　(3) 结合例子引入反对的观点
　　结合朋友Jane的例子，分析她为什么无法在工作上取得成功的原因。因为她既想全力扑在工作上，又不想放弃对孩子的照顾。然而，鱼和熊掌不可兼得，尽管她的大儿子反复表达了他愿意分担家庭重担，照顾弟弟的态度，但她仍然不放心，全权控制。尽管我们不能把这个作为她失败的**因素，但她无法平衡家庭和工作的事实，也是不可忽略的。
　　第四段
　　There also exists the fact that some other people still think that parents would be a better mentor for children’s growth(1), but it is obvious that it just helps in some specific situations, which pales in comparison to its opposite claim to such a huge extent that it is unnecessary to approve or disprove it.
　　填充内容：
　　(1) 反对的观点
　　第四段是个小的让步段。点明：还是有一些人支持对立的观点，认为家长是更合适的导师来引导孩子的成长。但这是要在特定环境下才成立的。权衡左右，其实我们也无须过于纠结于此。注意，这段的重点在于让步的态度，逻辑方面体现作者的批判性思维，语言方面体现作者运用的娴熟。所以只需简单带到反对的态度即可。
　　第五段
　　So, judging from the reasoning and examples as well as the sub points I presented as above, we can easily draw the conclusion that older children of the family should be required to look after the younger children(2). Just as everybody knows, coins has their sides, but this fact cannot weaken the argument that there is always a side can be considered more by some people, and cannot weaken the argument that older children also play an indispensable role in a family(2).
　　填充内容：
　　(2) 自己的立场态度
　　结尾部分要重申自己的立场，再一次强调：哥哥姐姐有责任应该要照顾自己的弟弟妹妹，他们在家庭中有着不可取代的地位。
