其實TWE真的還是要苦練,能發展出自己的模板最好。
就我所知,補習班助教說考GRE AWA,有人把argument and Issue 400題以上題目都寫完。CBT的TWE只有185題的樣子,其實我自己寫也只寫50題而已。
乾脆把我的自己的模板貼上來好了。
Opening:
When we talk about the question of (這裏可接who,whom,which,whether,why引導的子句),everybody has different opinions of this issue,或是可寫it always raises a big debate among people. It is sometimes difficult to (這裏又如上可接以上子句) because it is such a complicated one.(這句是Jeff老師的萬用模板) Some people tend to think~~~,however, the other people are inclined to consider that~~~. Form my point of view, I think the above two reasons can answer the topic question.或是如果是立場選擇就用I prefer to ~~~rather than~~~~. In the following paragraphs, I will try to detail why~~~~~.
Body:
First of all/In the beginning/To begin with,開始寫第一個原因,最後結尾是 From what is mentioned above, we can know that~~~。
Secondly/In addition/Moreover/,開始寫第二段,最後寫 In the light of the above reasoning, 後方重覆第二段開頭語,需代換不同單字,重覆開頭話為加強語起。
如有第三段繼續掰,Thirdly/Furthermore,後方掰第三段理由。

以下貼一篇我的TWE(有些grammar and tense的錯誤還沒更改):
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People are never satisfied with what they have; they always want something more or something different. Use specific reasons to support your answer.
When we talk about the question of whether people are never satisfied with what they have or they are, it always causes a big debate among people. It is sometimes difficult to discuss that people can restrain their desires or they are never satisfied what they own because it is such a complex issue. Some people tend to think people have abilities to control their desires; however, the other people are inclined to consider people aren’t satisfied with anything which they have. Form my point of view, I support that people are never satisfied with what they have and always want something more or something different. In the following paragraphs, I will try to detail why the things which people have can’t cater to their endless desires.
First of all, people want to chase their fantasies and make great progress in any aspect of their lives. To put it differently, people want to improve their living standard so that they never satisfied with what they have. As everybody knows, there are only horse that people can ride five hundred years ago. Due to poor transportation tools, people can’t reach much far areas. On the contrary, people can go abroad and travel remote countries by airplane in a short term because people are not satisfied with living standards. On account of this human characteristic, people can improve their living surroundings and invent a great number of useful equipment such as television, computers, Internet and so on which can help people feel convenient.
Secondly, people hope they can acquire the feeling of achievements and be admired by the other people; therefore, they are never satisfied with what they have and always want something more or something different. As you know, when you work in a big company, people always want to strive for higher positions than those of the other people. If people can endeavor after the powerful positions than those of the other people in the same company, they not only can receive more salary than the others but can be respected by their coworkers and followers as well. Form what is mentioned above, we can realize that people are never satisfied with what they have because they will be happy when they are honored by the other people.
Thirdly, some rotten people are never satisfied with what they have because of their vanity. It is pity that many government officials all over the world are so avaricious that they can’t stop their unreasonable desires. I took my country for example, to be frank with you, my president Shui-Bian Chen permit his wife, Shu-Zhen Wu, and his son-in-law, Chien-Ming Zhao taking bribes. Even though they are already in upper class in my country, Taiwan, they also committed numerous shameful crimes because of their vanity. According to the above example, we can know that some people are never satisfied with what they have and they always want something more due to their avarice.
To sum up, I can come up with my conclusion that people are never satisfied with what they have and always want something more or something different. Owing to this character, people not only can improve their living standards but also be admired by the other people in order to make them happy. Last but not the least, by some famous scandals, we can understand that some people can not help but cater for anything because of their vanity. Of course, may be some people hold opposite view of this topic; nevertheless, for the reasons I have presented above, I think my position is the most valid.
