　　托福独立写作出题新趋势。“托福写作新题的条件变得越来越多，问的问题越来越细越具体”——这些是能在很多教学文章里面看到的共识。举个例子，从前老托福典型题目之一是：People attend college or university for many different reasons. Why do you think people attend college or university? ——半开放式的作文——现在一看这题目就不对味，因为如今的托福写作越发于把题目写得特别具体，让学生在一个特定的情景下答题。
　　这种趋势下，只是把文章加细节写饱满是不够的，因为审题需要重新认知与评估。
　　来看6月16日托福考试的托福作文
　　When you travel to a city for the first time but don't have enough time to experience this city, which of the following choices is the best way to learn about this city?
　　A. eat in a restaurant or a cafe
　　B. visit historic sites
　　C. go shopping in the mall
　　参考上面信息，此题不再是简单地问“哪个是较佳的了解城市的方法”，而是“for the first time”以及” don't have enough time to experience this city”的条件下选择哪个？这么看，A跟B都还算是比较好的选择，能很好地联系这两个条件。
　　反之，如果上来就直接套什么“托福写作理由(比如，时间/金钱/人际关系等等)”，大有可能偏题，比如“C不好，因为浪费钱”。
　　之后来几道题目体会&练习一下：
　　1) If you are in the last year of your college life and about to graduate soon, what kind of courses would you take in this year? A. choose familiar professors whose courses you ever took B. choose unfamiliar professors whose courses you never took before.
　　2) Government should spend money sending adults aged 25 to learn the most up-to-date skills in the workplace. Do you think it is effective?
　　3) It is not a good way for employers to send work-related messages to their workers in their holiday or on weekends in order to make workers satisfied with their jobs.
　　4) We should state our honest opinions even though other people may disagree with us.
　　结语：因为托福会不断重复旧题，看完本文同学们下周去考试未必就一定是遇到加了限定条件的托福新题，但写作（以及口语TASK1&2）新题趋势确实如此，务必要带着对于审题的与应对策略上考场，这是本文较希望达成的一点贡献。
