双边模板：公婆对比 脚踏两船

谢振礼老师认为：模板的功能如水，可以载舟也可以覆舟。往往不是使用具有你个人习惯的模板，只会把本来困难的写作，搞得更加复杂。选择人见人爱的模板有大家不约而同的风险。错用不伦不类的模板的结果也是不伦不类，让读者觉得丈二金刚摸不着脑袋，也令考官啼笑皆非地决定扣分。
可想而知，模板是死板，难免限制思维的空间。然而对于英文作文能力特别薄弱的考生，模板反而有利于在考场打开一条安全的出路，至少立于不败之地。对于雅思写作或托福写作缺乏信心的考生，若不曾考虑使用模板才怪呢。
网上转载的写作模板如百花齐放，多数是是中看不中用。混乱的逻辑令学友头昏脑胀，剪不断理还乱。这是离题，不是一番滋味在心头。再说，生硬的句型模式让你无中生有的填空，简直是强人所难，始终无法切题地论证。写作要切题，首先要审题。仔细地审题之后，抄题才靠谱。
开始在引言段抄题目而却一字不改等于冒扣分数扣字数的风险。考官会把字数扣除，造成作文字数不足，另外还可能扣成绩。真是赔了分数又折分秒。冤枉啊!
写好引言起段也几乎同时搞定结论合段。起中有合;合中有起。前呼后应，贯穿始终。技巧：写结论等于抄写引言，稍微把句子的次序变更，还要记得变换句型和字语。
抄题像偷吃, 算是好事而不是犯罪，回答作文真题而冲动抄题目的考生至少不至于跑题，但是必须擦嘴巴，加以化妆，免得明显地暴露你的无能。总之，一切看你锻炼抄题的把戏了。锻炼写作，不管是卖力地埋头苦干，考前还得旁门左道地学点应试花招。另外你还需学习保密和自私，不可与他人分享同一个模板。原因你是明白的。
假设今天雅思写作不到6.5， 或托福写作低于24，那么你不妨参考谢振礼打造的其中一个抄题(切题)模板。手工打造模板，DIY自造自用不需花钱。欢迎外包猫头鹰有偿铸造模板，一人一套，保证没有任何两套相同。
借此声明猫头鹰的抄题模板与谢振礼的隐形模板大异其趣。前者是为了写作通关的考量;后者是为了写作高分设计。前者分别私下收费(个人独用模板);后者全面公开免费(试用隐形模板)。
雅思-托福作文一大抄，抄来抄去。抄-抄-抄-抄!
起承转合：起(引言)承+转(中体A+B) 合(结论)
Introduction: "Say what you are going to say."
引言段变相抄题。意见对比是主题。主题主宰全文的起承转合。
Body A+Body B: "Say it, with evidential support."
中体两段的各一个指标句是变相抄题。指标句针对焦点的一分为二(分论点)，用来支持主题。指标句主宰一段(承或转)的发展延伸。跟着Topic Sentence后来的若干句子是用来作分论点的论证(理由+例子+细节)。
Conclusion: "Say what you have said."
结尾后应开头的前呼。结论是以颠倒句子次序来抄引言。起中有合，合中有起。
提示：要切题的回答考题就必定离不开主题的焦点。主题是来自你答题的立场。要切题的论证，有必要缩小话题的范围到议论的焦点。
以下所列真题实例全是双边意见的争议，这就是讨论的焦点: 观点对比。花招是话分两头，公说公有理婆说婆有理。(Body A + Body B: "Say it, with evidential support.")
题目中的关键词语如果巧妙地重复出现，装模作样地造成切题回答。新手写作为了切题，所以抄题是理所当然的措施，虽然不够自然。作文的逻辑思维是要配合造句的速度，养成习惯等于使用心图模板。习惯的养成开头狠，造句快，论证准。模仿抄写的习惯也渐渐显得自然。
抄题有陷阱。宁可学习猫头鹰的滑头变脸，不可学习鹦鹉的百分之百仿声。切题模板的妙处是让菜鸟也能够造成不同。写作单项的测试成绩，同是天涯翅膀族，居然有菜鸟徘徊不前，当然也有菜鸟提升。
最适合你个人使用的作文习惯就是你最好的模板。自己亲手打造的模板作为利器，则使用起来比较自然地从心顺手。
懒惰的你，可以email猫头鹰 ielts360toefl@hotmail.com ，指定量身打造个性模板：起承转合(抄抄抄抄)。有了个性模板就练-练-练-练!想来该背诵的句型变化就背-背-背-背!不变的是 "Work hard and work smart."
