Topic No。1》算时义工--托福写作同日第一题(Essay Prompt No. 1):
Essay No. 5437>Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? "Schools should require an annual 40 hours of community service to their students." Use specific reasons and examples or details to support your answer.
猫头鹰：同意不同意这句话?“学校是佛应该硬性规定学生在一年内执行40小时义工?”这一道托福真题5347与雅思8291部分类似，均是论说学生义工的话题。不过以下雅思范文“社区义工”不足以全面回答托福真题，所以仅供造句+论证的参考。
引言三句话：猫头鹰大胆试验
In their free time, students can do more to help people in want of help, and an annual 40 hours of community service is certainly a good beginning that can make a difference. By taking part in such extracurricular activities as giving a hand to the needy and the sick, students can gain important knowledge that cannot be learned in the classroom. Besides being a lot of fun, community service is both an educational and social experience.
答题针对真题，这一段也许可以取代以下一篇的引言 (Introduction) 。第二段+第三段+结论段的内容可以参考下文8291.
1. Introduction: Community service is both an educational and social experience.
2. Body Paragraph A: An educational experience.
3. Body Paragraph B: A social experience.
4. Conclusion: An educational and social experience.
Topic No。2》教科书本--托福写作同日第二题(Essay Prompt No. 2):
Essay No. 5420>Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? "Whether a school can be successful solely depends on how many textbooks a school may have." Use specific reasons and examples or details to support your opinion.
猫头鹰：同意不同意这句话?”办学校是佛成功，端看其拥有教科书的数量。“回答这一道托福真题的立场：光是拥有大量教科书不能断定一个学校的成功。(记忆中找不到雅思类似真题。)
Introduction>开头参考(不建议新手采用这种奇怪的答题方式)
猫头鹰试验引言三句话：大胆使用抽象比喻”是唱歌的人，不是歌“。教科书好像是歌本，学生是唱歌的人。
Introduction:
第一段：
Textbooks are essential to schooling, but whether a school can be successful does not solely depend on the number of textbooks it may have. No more can you judge the success of a school by simply counting how many textbooks it owns than you can judge the success of a singer only by estimating how many songs that he or she may know. Analogically speaking, for that matter it is those singers (students) rather than those songs (textbooks) that matter to a school's academic success.
(猫头鹰注：尚未完成中体两段和结论段。)

雅思实验范文(已发布过):
针对托福真题，这一段8291取消，可以采用”40小时义工“5437引言取而代之。
1. Although teenagers of all secondary schools (and of colleges) are under no obligation to do community service, an amount of volunteering on their part are beneficial to themselves and to the community at the same time.
2. If nothing else, by participating in such extracurricular activities as helping the poor and the sick in their free time, they can gain important knowledge that cannot be learned in the classroom.
3. Generally speaking, community service is an educational experience, a social experience, and perhaps a lot of fun, too.
第二段可以作为改写5437参考》
It makes educational sense for students to understand that part of being a useful person is about helping others who are struggling. Without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community. In fact, for a community to be whole and healthy, it must be based on compassion and concern for each other. Unpaid community service is significant because the strong have a responsibility to provide support for the weak. This is crucial to high school or college experience as it is that kind of knowledge which cannot be learned from a book. Therefore, it may be expected that every community service moment is memorable.
第三段可以作为改写5437参考》
In the social context, young people with experiences in community work are given the opportunities to have an understanding of human relationships and social vulnerabilities. Through service work, they are meeting the community's urgent problems face-to-face. Community work is a moral cause because it is not only an act of generosity but also an act of love for their neighbors. Further being unpaid work, it becomes a noble cause since this kind of community service is not compulsory and asks for nothing in return. In their free time, teenagers can benefit from finding themselves stronger than ever, being capable of doing worthy tasks. The community, of course, can as well benefit from this positive , voluntary power.
结论可以作为改写5437参考》
For the young people, the fun of feeling at heart that they are stronger than they could ever imagine is underlined by their experiences which are rewarding, both educationally and socially. Indeed, in every community there is work to be done; and in every heart there is power to do it. When a sense of community is being felt as an act of responsibility rather than an act of generosity, blessed are the giving and the receiving. (Essay created by Jeenn Lee Hsieh)
